Spiritual Awakening: Let It Go!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Let It Go!!!

 As 2014 fades in the rearview mirror and 2015 begins to appear in the windshield I think of the most important lesson learned through the spiritual awakening process in 2014, Let It Go!!! The greatest action we can take is to let go of people and things that no longer serve us.  As difficult as it may be to severe relationships that no longer serve us it is necessary if we are to move forward in a positive direction of our goals and our dreams thus allowing us to develop spiritually. In letting go we release negativity that may have  created blockages in our personal and professional life thus allowing us to be open to receive more positive experiences in our life. Sometimes we must take a serious look at the people we associate with and see how they enhance our life and what they are doing to lift us. In looking at the people we associate with we can see a lot of ourselves and if we see flaws in them we can look at those flaws as a reflection of ourselves and do something to improve our own flaws so that we can continue to evolve spiritually. Recently I had a situation with someone who committed to making a donation to The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and when asked for the donation he got all defensive and told me via the phone it is out of my hands I lodged a formal complaint against you with The American Cancer Society. I told him are you friggin kidding me over $18.70 when you are the one who made the pledge. This is someone who was pointing the blame on me say I don’t like your attitude instead of  seeing where he contributed to the problem. I was upset that he forged a complaint and then thought really I have raised $1564.82 so far for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton and have  garnered many accolades over my 15 years of fundraising that they will most likely take it from where it came and we will turn the page and move forward. I know I will more than make up for the $18.70 that this man didn’t donate simply by sharing http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2  and having people make donations. In bringing it up here for the last time I am able to let go and put my energy into the positive things that people are doing  for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton.

January 16: Know that no one is capable of making you upset without ...  In letting go of the negative and focusing on the positive like the product donations from Doreen Virtue, Louise Hay, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Serena Dyer, Michael Neil, Sonia Choquette, Joyce Meyer,  Lisa Eva Gold, and World Wrestling Entertainment I have been able to shift my  energy and improve on my vibrational field so as to attract more positive results in my quest to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Spiritual Awakening: Stepping Back To Step Forward!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Steeping Back To Step Forward!!!

 In basketball as in the spiritual awakening process many times you have to take a step back in order to move forward. In my years of announcing basketball I have seen many a team take a step back and then adjust to either keep the game close of to go on to win the game. This is very similar to the spiritual awakening process as the bad influences that are trying to take us down are playing touch defense and we feel they aren’t allowing us to move forward. In basketball it is the job of the defender to prevent us from making the shot, it is our job to find ways to make the shot. In our spiritual awakening the enemy will give us distractions and challenges and it is our job to defeat the enemy by staying on our path that leads to spiritual enlightenment. It is our job to stay so committed to our awakening that nothing the enemy throws at us will defeat us.  With the small steps backwards to look things from a different perspective we are able to adjust and take a few steps forward and thus stay on our path.

 The small steps backward serve as lessons to propel us forward. We have all had disappointments or felt less than until we realized we are enough and if we are following our heart everything works out the way the universe intended it to. In life we have to lose sometimes so that we are put in a position to win. In the losing we learn and thus we grow personally and professionally.  In following the messages that tell us to step back and regroup we create an opportunity to move forward. In realizing that we may not resonate with everyone and that those intended to support our mission or follow our message will come to us when the timing is right.

 It is in learning for the past and stepping back for a moment that we are able to live in the present and look toward the future. I have learned over time that you can not change what happened but you can change how you reacted to it so that in the present moment you are aware and awake and as a result you begin to find the proper perspective that will allow you to stay focused, grounded, and centered on your mission.  In stepping back and looking introspectively at ourselves we begin to find what our divine purpose is and what we are being directed to do to embrace this calling.

Spiritual Awakening: Standing In Your Power!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Standing In Your Power!!!!

 As I sat down to write this entry at 5:30 PM today (10/21/13) I kept getting this message stand in your power. As I have been on my spiritual path of awakening that will lead to enlightenment I have learned that the power we need to succeed is found within us. It is our spirit, our vibration, our energy that affects the energy flow. It is our actions and reactions that determine how far along this path to self actualization that we get. There are guides and tools available to us but it is we who must commit to stand in our power and not waver on walking in our truth. As I searched for Standing In Your Power I came across the book that is highlighted here. Many times for us to stand in our power we need to connect with someone who is standing in there power. When you begin to surround yourself with those who are standing in their power you begin to stand in your power and your awakening strengthens and then you realize there is nothing outside of yourself that can hold you back for you have the power to create the life you want.  It is in the standing of your power and understanding you have a purpose and  saying I am a powerful, strong  person who has awakened spiritually and will make a positive impact on this world that you truly become that enlightened self actualized person that no one can stop.

 I have found that this bible verse has become a very powerful tool to help me and other to stand in our power. I have also found that when you stand in your power and shine your light you make a mind, body, soul connection that will propel you to new heights.  You have a divine power tat has been given to you that when you embrace it and stand in your power you will find  that you are positively impacting your life and the lives of those around you. Sometimes you will find that there will be doubters who do not understand that you are transforming. To them I say Thank you and have a nice day.  You have a calling and the day you discover that calling  and stand in your power is the day that your life changes.

Spiritual Awakening: Be The Miracle!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Be The Miracle!!!! 

 

As I watched this video I kept thinking of the scene from Bruce Almighty where Jim Carey’s character Bruce tell the audience to be the miracle!!! I kept thinking how can you be a blessing for others? This led me to think of ways you can pay it forward and further your spiritual awakening?  I began to ask myself how can I become an action taker and make a positive difference. The answer was simple look to GOD and co-create opportunities to lift others up and show them that everything is possible. I have always subscribed to the belief that service to humanity is the best work of life and I begin my day with a question, how can I be of service and value today? I have adopted a few anthems along the way like Janet Lee Kraft’s Love Is The Highest Way and Tiffany Millander’s Awaken.

Spiritual Awakening: Bob Dylan Sparks Change!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Bob Dylan Sparks Change!!!!

Inspired by Bob Dylan’s songs Times They Are Changing and The Answer is Blowing in the Wind while  I sat at Starbucks in Plantation, FL I got up took a walk outside and realized just how things are changing and that stepping outside to listen to nature and slow down for a moment how clear the answers come through.  I asked a question about affecting change and then I sat down to receive the answer and it came with several messages like write about it, make a change in your life, and then spark others to change.  Bob Dylan influenced many to make positive changes and recognized that change is always occurring around us and that the answers are also all around us. When you make a positive change in your life such as eliminating negative people and your own negative thoughts you begin to see things in a better light and then the answers you are seeking become clearer. Sometimes making a change is hard as you feel you are doing the right thing when in reality you are holding yourself back and thus need a spark for change. What or who is sparking a change in you?

Spiritual Awakening: Meaning of Life Found In Grocery Store!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Meaning Of Life Found In Grocery Store!

 There I was shopping in my local Publix and I stopped for a moment and I was reading the side of The Arizona Tea Can that I had decided to purchase and I found it the meaning of life as it said RECYCLE. I stopped for a moment and took a deep breath to contemplate this message. Then it hit me the concept of recycling goes far beyond just making something new out of something used it goes to the heart of looking at way you can be a recycler and pay it forward and thus improve the quality of life for someone else and in return be rewarded.

Spiritual Awakening: Lessons Learned From The Courthouse!

Spiritual Awakening: Lessons Learned From The Courthouse!

        

This post was inspired by the course of events surroiunding my ticket for failure to stop at a stop sign. It was a beautiful morning and I left my home to go work with a client, my mind turned towards my mother who passed on July 5, 2012 as a song came on the radio that really struck an emotional cord with me and I missed the stop sign in my development. I explained that to the officer and he said I am sorry but I have to write the ticket. I later found out from a law enforcement source that traffic citations are at the discretion of the officer. I immediately went to a ticket defense attorney paid $79 and today (11/14/12) I had court. I showed up dressed in professional business attire. I witnessed people in jeans and teeshirts, shorts and sandals, and other various dress that some may consider inappropriate for court. I was amazed by the behavior of some and how they didn’t comprehend the judges instructions. I sat quietly keeping myself centered and grounded. I did not hear my name called and waited to see the judge who instructed me to see the counselor seeated at a table who represented the law firm I hired. I explained to him the situation and I pleaded no contest and the ruling was adjudication with held no points and $125 in court costs(If anyone wants to donate to help pay the fine please use paypal and rd1299@aol.com to do so). I went down stairs to the clerk of the courts and paid the fine. While waiting to pay the fine I witnessed behavior that was quite negative by others. I didn’t say anything I took a deep breath and waited to be called. I went to the window with paperwork and check in hand and the lady behind the window said wow someone who is prepared. I waited for the receipt and as I left I realized that many people in our country need a spiritual awakening.

 The first lesson I learned is that we need to be accountable for our actions be prepared to face the consequences. I ran the stop sign and am responsible despite the reason I didn’t stop. Yes I would rather have used the $125 for other things like a personaldevelopment book, or a massage, or a healing seesion, however being able to pay and put the ticket behind me and take responsibility allows me to move forward with my goals.

 The second lesson that I learned was not to blame others and realize the way things are and the way things should be are two different things. I was thinkibg all the while that I waiting to pay they should print the serenity prayer on back of all the receipts. I also thought there should be a sign that reads stop playing the blame game you made the decision now own up to it.

Spiritual Awakening: Angels Walk Amongst Us!!!

Spiritual Awakening:  Angels Walk Amongst Us!!!

 

 I look around and I see many heroes and angels that walk amongst us.They may not take the form that we visualize, however they are amongst us and working in a positive way for us. It is when we can see that everyone has sometype of angelic quality that we can relate better to everyone we meet and thus create positive interactions and shift to positive energy.  I have seen the angels in actions recently as they provided me with the opportunity to be a contributor to the book Sources of Wisdom Book 2, when I said yes without knowing where I would find the $115 and then I mentioned oit to someone and they wrote a check for $115 saying I believe in you. I am so grateful for this person and the angels that spoke through her.  I then began to realize that there are those watching over us and pointing us in the proper direction. I began to read the facebook posts by Doreen Virtue, Mariane Williamson, Guy Finley,Depak Chopra, Wayne Dyer,  Michael Bernard Beckwith,  and many others and I began to see the messages that were being delivered and each one seemed to be directed or related to me.

Spiritual Awakening: The Circle Of Life

Spiritual Awakening: The Circle Of Life

As I listened to the song Circle of Life from the movie, The Lion King, I was reminded about some of the occurances over the last several weeks, which have reminded me to cherish each moment and to enhance people’s lives by simply being a positive force for them to turn to. The last 4 weeks have been a true awakening with the passing of Kathy Dedek, my mother, and  the mudslide that took Dr. Lynn Migdal’s home in British Columbia along with her ex-husband passing as a result, her two daughters are still missing and we hold out hope that they will be found alive.

As I sat and questioned GOD the answer came as it is the circle of life.  As I began to meditate on this I began to realize that we come into this world as dust and we leave this earth as dust. The circle of life is an easy concept to grasp however the questions many as we live our lives as spiritual beings having a human experience. Many times it just takes a moment of introspection to understand  how we are all intertwined in the universe and that the circle of life does not end in the passing of  someone it continues for them in the spiritual world, where they can be of service to those left behind.  The signs that I have seen in the last 10 days since my mother’s passing have shown me that she is okay and doing things from the other side. Her legacy of sharing and caring liveson in my deeds an each day I find a way to hold a sacred space for her in my mind and my heart. She may not be with me physicallly, however the signs that I have encountered truly show me that she is looking out for me.

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Path and Your Purpose

Spiritual Awakening: Finding Your Path and Your Purpose

I remember the movie, The Blues Brothers, the original with John Beluhi playing Jake and Dan Akroyd playing Elwood where they would state I am Jake and  this is my brother Elwood and we are on a mission from GOD! Their mission was well defined, to raise enough money to pay the property taxes to save the school that they attended as children. They had a unique way of furthering this mission. In the end they made it to the property tax office and paid the back money to save the school.  By defining their mission, being of service and value, and utilizing their talents these two offbeat musicians achieved their goal.

John Belushi(Jake) and Dan Akroyd (Elwood) contemplate their next move on their path to save their school.

Finding The Path:

Like Jake and Elwood you have a path it may not be as zanny and far fetched as it was in the movie, however it is a path and you are being guided to follow it everyday. In The Wizrd of Oz  Dorothy is told to follow the Yellow Brick Road. She and Toto follow the path meeting characters like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and  The Lion. The characters represent the universe putting people in our life to help us along our path. Dorothy wason the path so she could find her way home and the universe was providing her with help along the way.  What is our yellow brick road and who are we meeting along the way?

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Lion, Tin Man, and Toto find their path and recieve what they were searching for by heading the messages of the universe.
