Spritual Awakening: Dipping The Apple- Shana Tova

Spiritual Awakening: Dipping The  Apple

 This video is the inspiration behind this blog entry today. As I  bit into a chocolate covered apple from Edible Arrangements I took a moment to really enjoy. I looked out the window and the sun was bright with some rain coming down  the lake and the palm trees brought a smile to my face. I began to think how many times do we go through a day without dipping the apple, not in a literal sense but it a figurative sense.  Taking a moment to dip the apple and being appreciative for the joys and sweetness that come into our lives daily helps to make the mind, body, soul connection. Each day we can stimulate our mind by reading, we can enhance our body through exercise, we can add joy tot he soul by assuming an attitude of gratitude.  We can truly dip our apple and enjoy the sweetness of our spiritual journey.

 I found this video to be very entertaining and it brought a smile to my face and made me realize that it was time to reflect and follow messages that were being sent from GOD. As we enter anew year on The Jewish Calendar remember that you can make a positive difference in your life and the lives of those around you by continuing your spiritual development.  You have a chance to be an action taker and to set in motion positive events when you take time to dip your apple.  When you have your awakening you will realize that there is a greater power than you that will lead you in the direction you were meant to go.

 What actions are you taking to be inscribed into the book of life. One great way to dip your apple is to help others in their charitable causes.  You will notice a donate button on this page and it is my hope that you will answer the calling for help and do waht you can to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.  If things have not been going the way you want you can make a change by dipping your apple and finding the joys to celebrate. You have the opportunity to come alive and help others to come alive by being a beacon of hope to them. Community service is one way to give back and to lead the life that GOD has designed for you and to insure that you are inscribed into the book of life.

As we usher in The Jewish New Year let us be reminded that we have a power inside of us to help others  and to make a positive impact in our lives and the lives we come on contact with.
 It is when we dipour apple and take time for a quiet and peacful moment that we often find the greatest joy.  It is when we go deep inside ourselves that we truly discover how great we are. In many cases it is when we put on reflective music and just allow ourselves to be that we realize how good life is. The sun shine bright, the water ripples in the lake, the palm trees sway in the wind and the messages begin to come in to appreciate what we have and to show gratitude for what has been provided. Though there will be trials and tribulations that will build our character it is important to dip your apple.

 

The singer in this video passed at age 38 from a massive heart attack in 1997. This shows us just how important it is to dip our apple daily. Please share how you are dipping your apple.

Spiritual Awakening: Building MO, Keep On Keeping On

Spiritual Awakening: Building MO, Keep On Keeping On

 

Shawn Doyle and Lauren Anderson collobarate on a great book that inspired this blog entry, MO as it explores the lives of everyday people who make the best of their situation and continue to keep on keeping on.  As I interviewed Shawn on 9/3 and Lauren on 9/10 I began to realize that the key to personal development is to be grateful for what you do have and to keep on keeping on. I began to think about all those people who are disgruntled and complain about their circumstances and I feel ike bgrabbing them and saying hey wake up it is not the circumstances, the economy, or others it is you. I know I can not physically do that so I use this blog as an outlet to encourage others to build motivation in their lives and in the lives of others. I am reminded of The Zig Ziglar quote “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. ” It is in doing something motivational daily that we develop and grow.may times it is jus engaging someone you meet out in public just by saying hello.  I have often stated that I use a 3 foot rule, where if someone is within 3 feet of me I will talk to them. Thank you to Lisa Douglas Past President of The Florida Jaycees for first teaching me this technique.

       

Spiritual Awakening: What is MO?

What is MO?
Most people think that motivation for them is out of reach. They have an average job at an average company. This book is intended to give people hope by shining the light on people who are in average regular jobs but are amazing.
In the book we offer inspiring profiles of a Service Advisor, Hot Dog vendor, Airline Gate Agent, Seafood Market Owner, Construction worker, Seamstress, Fitness Trainer, and a Taxi driver who all have the magic MO! qualities.
These were people in ordinary jobs, but despite that fact, they decided NOT to be ordinary. They performed their jobs brilliantly, exceptionally, differently and exceeded everyone’s expectations of what that job “should” be every day. More importantly everyone around them knows it, sees it and acknowledges 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 New Community- Guest Post by Jeff Zelaya

Spiritual Awakening: The New Community

Guest Post by Jeff Zelaya

       When you think of the word Community what does it mean? Think of that for a second. Got it? Hold that thought until the end. In 2012 we are evolving the meaning of Community with social media. Let’s break it down, Community can be defined as a group of people living or interacting in the same  space, and a society that helps each other. In the past, your  interaction with your community ended when you were no longer physically in the same place. Now, thanks to the glories of the interwebs, we  bring our community home and further expand our network beyond the  physical. Indeed, most people find it odd for someone not to have a Facebook account. A normal person functioning in society is believed to be someone that  is engaged in his/her community. Facebook is now part of life and if  you’re not on it then you’re considered to be isolating yourself from  your community. In social media we are interacting and helping each other, whether it is to make a professional connection, find old friends or make new ones, we are expanding our life experience day-in and day-out. The internet is a known space where interactions happen. Think about the last time you were  considering who you should donate to and you saw something come up on a  social media platform posted by a friend. At that moment you experienced a moment of clarity, “OMG, I have to help my friend!” Yes– O-M-G. Not only have we expanded our communities but we have evolved our language as well. ROFL, TTYL and LMAO had no meaning 15 years ago and now you know exactly what they mean and people even use them in verbal communication. What does community mean to me? It means being connected and in 2012, social media is part of how we make that connection. Now you can let go of  that thought you had in the beginning. Share in the comments! What does Community mean to you?

Spritual Awakening: Wake Up and Be Who You Are

Spiritual Awakening: Wake Up and Be Who You Are

I was having a conversation with Debbie Ford on her radio show on Wednesday when she mentioned that there is a time to be phony like when she is at a book signing and feeling tired and has to put on the smile and sign more books and take pictures. She also mentioned about going to someone who may be sick and telling them they look okay. I felt like yelling Debbie Wake Up and Be Who You Are.  Many times as we are on our path we may find ourself being “PHONY” which at times does serve us, however I find it is best when you are authentic and truthful. If you are truly going to be awakened you have to be true to yourself and others. In many cases you see a need to act a certain way to placate the situation.  If you do not derive pleasure from the experience of signing books and can not be enthusastic without having to fake it then you need to change what you are doing. I know that it can be draining to take pictures, sign books, and go to many dinners, however that is what you chose. I ask did you chose this to make money or did you chose this because you truly believe in what you are preaching.

Spiritual Awakening: What Is At The End Of Your Rainbow?

Spiritual Awakening: What Is At The End of Your Rainbow?

Forget food trends eat the rainbow. This post was inspired by Becca Tebon, The F.I.T. Preneurs, who was on Get Motivated Withe Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, which is heard on Monday from 7-8 PM EDT at www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafnstongradio, and made the statement about to be healthy you want to eat the rainbow. I then began to comtemplate what is at the end of the rainbow and I determined it was not just a pot of gold but a pot also filled with better health and wellness. Being in good health and having good physical and mental wellness are an integral part in expanding the mind, body, and soul connection. The following is a guide to help you eat the rainbow.

 Eating healthier and making better choices will lead to your pot of gold as studies have shown that healthier people tend to make more money than unhealthy people.

Spiritual Awakening: Put Your Love Glasses On!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Put Your Love Glasses On!!!!

 

I have often said it is when we look at the world with love and put our love glasses on that great things happen. What are you doing to put your love glasses on? I have this ritual in the morning where I look in the mirror and I say  I love me  and today I will show love to others. Sometimes it is difficult as people come into my life through the day that can be challenging, it is at those times when I take a deep breath and do my best to be loving.

Beckah Shae delivers a message to remind us to put our love glasses on.

 

  Spiritual Awakening: Spreading Love

I listen to Janet Lee Kraft’s  Love is The Highest Way and I am reminded that we should be loving and caring in all that we do. As you shift to love many great things begin to unwind and you begin to see things in a different light. The light of love begins to open more doors and create a better life. There are many ways to spread love.

1: Smile and give a positive thought to someone –

2: Breathe in and remind yourself that you are love and you deserve love

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Wait Do It Now!!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Don’t Wait Do It Now!!!

The following quote is often attributed to Goethe and delivers a great message.  “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

  Life gives us amazing twists and turns along the way. Our path may be altered by the circumstances, however it is when we begin and take action that great things begin to happen. Today I had a great talk with Coach Shantel Springer about the power of beginning and creating value in your services. After I hung up the phone I started to think what are you waiting for you have an idea that has been int he planning stages for awhile allow it to take flight and begin the process. It is by taking action that you begin to step into your greatness.  It is not a matter of when you begin it is that you begin.

Spiritual Awakening: Using The Pause Button

Spiritual Awakening: Using The Pause Button

 

This post was inspired by a session I did with someone who kept piling on one issue after another and it became like a massive cd recording so I stated let’s use our pause button and slow down and get to the issues one at a time.  As I began to use waht I call Using The Pause Button I began to realize that most of us all just need to pause from time to time and breathe and thus change how we are dealing with issues. The issues can be resolved when we pause and begin to remove the emotional charges associated with them.

 When we choose to use the pause button we often find what The Big Issue is. Many times it is our own conflict of how we think things should be and how they are. The key is to pause and understand there is a big difference between these and that is when we pause and find tools that can help us overcome the issue. For example you are working for someone and after a few days they send the human resource person over to the site to let you know that in their eyes you aren’t meeting their expectations and they are letting you go.  You get angry and don’t understand, however on your drive home you pause and seek guidance from source/GOD and you realize that this happened as he had bigger plans for you. You then look inside and find that there is a pattern of self sabatoge that you desire to change and you begin to take action steps to change and you soon see better outcomes.

Spiritual Awakening: How Are Your Vibes?

Spiritual Awakening: How Are Your Vibes?

As I was collecting for The American Cancer Society today(6/17/18)  at The Tamarac Cafe Diner I began to think how are my vibes? What vibrational frequency am I giving off? I felt very positive and let my positive energy radiate through out me and onto others. It was amazing what started to occur people began to give and those that did not give were very polite in saying no. I began to observe the actions of many of the people and began to realize that many of the ailments that they suffer go hand in hand with the vibrational pattern that they are giving off.  The experience led me to write this entry How Are Your Vibes?
