Live a Life On Purpose and Manifest What You Desire!!!
As you undergo your spiritual awakening you will have two questions that you will seek the answer to and they are what is your purpose and what is your why. Once you define your purpose and your why you will be able to stay focused, centered, and grounded which will enable you to manifest the life you desire. As you find your purpose you will want to write it down and create a mission statement for your life. An good example of a mission statement is it is my purpose to help other people excel by utilizing my talents to be of service and value to others. Once you discover your purpose and your why you will be better equipped to become an action taker. As you become an action taker and do things on purpose you will want to find an anthem for yourself that will guide you and direct you as to continue to tap into your divine guidance system helping you to make a mind, body, soul, connection. In doing things on purpose you will want to detach from outcomes and shift in to a position of coming from a position of love and gratitude allowing GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels to guide you in living a life of purpose.
Passion + Action = Success
Many people will be quick to judge what you are doing as they do not understand the higher purpose that you are following as you answer your calling and you evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. I have often told people there is a method to the madness as many have looked at the way I do things as being a bit unique and different as they don’t realize that I am doing things on purpose. Each day we have a purpose and each day we should take a moment to write down our purpose for when you know the purpose of what you are doing and why you are doing it you will find your life filled with more peace, love, joy, and prosperity. As you become more mindful of your purpose you will find that achieving bliss and abundance comes easier. Many times we get so caught up in what others would think or how we will be perceived that we lose sight of our purpose and thus we hit some speed bumps and create blockages from moving forward and living our life on purpose. I have come to understand that when you know your purpose and your why that you clear the blockages and you step into your power that allows you to achieve the greatness that is your birthright.
Each Day be Of Service And Value and You Will Achieve Greatness
In doing things on purpose and knowing your why you will find that the impact you make is increased. You may not see that impact first hand but know that people are watching you do things on purpose and they are being inspired and empowered by your actions. In living your life on purpose you will also find that you can easily have the serenity to change the things you can accept the things you can not and gain the wisdom to know the difference. When we block out the negativity and continue on the path that GOD has set out for us we will find ourselves coming alive and serving our community better by detaching from outcomes and removing the emotional ties that sometimes encumber us and stop us from living a life on purpose. There are many times when you will have to stop and ask are the actions I am taking now serving my purpose and moving me in a positive direction toward spiritual enlightenment. Many times we can so enamored with the materialistic things that we lose sight of the spiritualistic things that are important. In living life on purpose and using our spiritual gifts we are able to make positive changes in our life thus overcome all obstacles by knowing if GOD brought us to it GOD will bring us through it. Sometimes things seem difficult but take solace in knowing that GOD will never give you more than you can handle and that he has a purpose for you. It is up to you to define that purpose and live a life on purpose.
In finding your purpose and living a life of purpose you will see which of these gifts you have been given. Once you see the gifts you have you will be able to better understand your purpose and thus use your talents for good.
Now is your time to shine and to live a life of purpose. It is time to have a clear vision of your purpose and to take action to follow that vision understanding that it may not always be easy but it will be worth it. NAMASTE!!!
As I sat in a presentation from Legal Shield in heard the speaker talk about living life on your own terms and it really resonated with me as it reminded me of the spiritual path I have chosen to take. In living my life on my terms and doing it my way I have had ups and downs. I have experienced the loss of my MOM on July 5, 2012 and my DAD on June 7, 2018 and the one thing that I am grateful for is that I allowed me to live my life on my own terms. They might not have always understood the decisions I made but they allowed me to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually on my own terms. In living life on my own terms I have learned so much like making sure that if you have an elderly parent that they have a will and that you are included on all important documents such as deeds to property, bank accounts, and any other assets that they have. I also learned to make sure they have their final arrangements taken care of so that you have peace of mind and do not incur a major expense when they are called home to GOD.
In understanding that this is your life and it is yours to live ion your terms as directed by GOD you will be able to tune into your Divine Guidance System and create the life that you desire. As you enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life you will see that living on your own terms may create challenges thus you will want to ask the question of how does this serve my higher self. In serving your higher self you will begin to see more peace,love, joy, and prosperity in your life. There will be times of struggle so just remember if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. In the last 7 months I have been dealing with many situations that I never saw myself in like having to make a mortgage payment, and paying off a home equity loan as a result of my DAD passing and me needing a roof over my head. I have reached out to help and set up a page at www.paypal.me.jdogg8265 and have had a few people step up. In August of 2018 I had one person step up in a big way to help me and I am grateful that this person walked in his truth and supported me in the manner in which he did. I have asked many others to please use my services as a PA Announcer, an Emcee, a Voice Over Talent or to book a consultation with me and am grateful for those who have stepped up to use my services. There are many out there who could have helped but have not for whatever reason they may have. I have come to learn that there are two types of people in life excuse makers or action takers. You must determine which category you will fall into so as to live life on your terms.
Be Bold And Live Life On Your Own Terms!!!
It is when you commit to living on your own terms and decide to be of service and value to others that your life will change. There will be trials and tribulations thus remember you have the power to change the things you can and accept the things you can not and the wisdom to know the difference. It is in removing the people and things that no longer serve you that you make progress.
As you begin to live life on your own terms you will want to live out loud and walk in your truth. You will encounter doubters, haters, and naysayeers so it is important to ignore them and live your life on your terms. It is also important to also stop your own negative self talk. When you commit to living life on your own terms and move in a positive direction toward your goals and dreams you will find yourself feeling more fulfilled. Make today the day you start living life on your own terms. Namaste!!!
The clock struck midnight and a new year was upon us. As I sat in reflection I decided tom declare that 2019 would be a year of empowerment and inspiration. I sat in meditation listening to Cat Stevens and realized that each day we have 86,400 minutes each time a new day starts and it is up to us how we can use them. As I have experienced a spiritual awakening I have come to realize that there is a time to rest and reflect and there is a time to take action. I have also come to realize that the only persons actions I can control are my own. In coming to this realization I have decided to focus on being of service and value to others and finding others who believe that service to humanity is the best work of life to join me in making 2019 a year of inspiration and empowerment. You will notice that I brought back JDOGG’S Person Of The Week so as to inspire others to find ways to make a positive impact in the lives of others while also enhancing their personal, professional, and spiritual life. I have also discovered that one must walk in their truth and become transparent so that everyone sees your authentic self and not some facade that society dictates. In speaking your truth and being empowered and inspired you may upset some people as they are not ready to hear the truth. Such was the case today (1/3/2019) as I went to make a payment on a home equity loan that my DAD left behind when he was called home to GOD on June 7,2018. I simply wanted to pay the regular payment amount and use the overage toward the principle and since I was passed due and not on the account they could not do this on the branch level so I let the teller know this is why after this loan is paid off I will not be doing business with Chase. It is important for you to stand up for yourself. I also learned that it imperative to be included on all of your parents accounts so that if they pass without a will you will have what you need to take care of any financial obligations that they may leave behind. I have set up a donation page at www.paypal.me/jdogg8265 if anyone wants to make a love donation thus giving me a home base to work from as I make 2019 A Year Of Inspiration and Empowerment.
As I left the bank I realized that the first step to becoming empowered and inspired is to understand that all we are are dust in the wind. We came into this world as dust and we leave this world as dust. All that will be left when GOD calls us home is the answer to the question of how did you live your dash. I have written many times that at the end of the day there are only 2 questions that need to be answered in the affirmative and they are did you live the day in joy and did you bring joy others today. If you can say yes to those two questions you will have had a good day making your 86,400 minutes count.
As I was writing this blog today (1/3/2019) I began to get a grip on the idea that in order to make 2019 A Year Of Empowerment and Inspiration it was up to me to come from a position of love. It is important to have self love and then to transfer our love to others. This can be done by saying a prayer for the person with the sign will work for food or purchasing food for that person if you are in a position to do so. You can simply smile at someone and wish them a good day, or you can thank someone for their service. The possibilities to show love and gratitude are endless.
Gratitude is a very powerful tool to have in your spiritual tool box as it will help you to make 2019 A Year Of Empowerment and Inspiration. Each day find something to be grateful for and write down what it is in a gratitude journal and when you are challenged to make 2019 A Year Of Empowerment and Inspiration look in the journal and allow yourself to get back to being centered ,focused, and grounded. It is through our spiritual awakening that we can make 2019 A Year Of Empowerment and Inspiration. NAMASTE!!!
As you awaken spiritually you will find yourself at times with blurry vision for change is hard to see clear at first however once you decide to get clarity of purpose you will find that you able to step into your power and achieve the greatness that is your birthright. It is when you rise up and understand that as long as you walk in your truth you can clear up your vision and manifest the life that you want. It takes action and a commitment to blocking out negativity so that you move forward and prosper as GOD intends you to do. Our vision can get blurred at times as we experience hardships not realizing that everything is unfolding just as GOD has intended and GOD has a bigger vision for us than we do. Many times you simply have to have the eye of the tiger.
In having the eye of the tiger you can stare adversity in the face and say bring it on for GOD brought me to this and GOD will bring me through this. Everything we do is guided by GOD’s will and not our own. When we walk in our truth and become a peaceful warrior we gain clarity in vision and purpose thus we are better able to be of service and value to others. There will be people that don’t understand us or are not on the same wave length as we are due to their blurred vision and this is okay as it enables us to walk away and find those who will help us to have a clear vision to make our world brighter.
Be A Difference Maker By Planning Your Work And Working Your Plan!!!
I have been involved with community service work since I was 11 years old and I have met with much success as I have planned my work and worked my plan. Sometimes I had to go off script to make sure I exceeded the goals and objectives that I set. As a result of knowing when to stay on script and go off script I was able to help many non-profit organizations have success. In 1995 when The U.S. Jaycees had over 300,000 members I was named one of The Top 5 Jaycees in America as I had a clear vision and took the action needed to find success. I use the same methods today that helped me in my quest to be of service and value to others to continue to make a positive difference in the community where I live, work, and play. I was looking back on all the awards I have received and it cleared my vision and it reminded me how important it is to continue to walk in my truth while showing the world that service to humanity is the best work of life. There have been many storms along the way but after each storm I have been able to see clearly.with blurry vision that I came to understand that I must have clarity in purpose and share my vision to help others to see clearly.
In gaining clarity and clearing up the blurry vision I have come to understand that there are some that will, some that will not, and some that are waiting. It is important to have a clear vision so that you attract the people that will help you to bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. It is when you overcome the storms that you grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. You have two choices you can forget everything and run and have blurred vision or you can face everything and rise and have clarity. The time is now to have clear eyes with a full heart so that you can improve your life and the lives of others.
How will you be a lifter and help others to have clear eyes and a full heart so you can’t lose. There will be many encounters with people who may have a blurred vision for they have been doing things a certain way that they have become set in their ways and reluctant to change. I have often thought that I have some great ideas that if people would listen and implement that they would find success and clear up their blurred vision. I have been fortunate that many of the people I have encountered and that have utilized my services to help strengthen their brand and increase their revenue have been open to implement new ideas and as a result have had success. It is when you take measures to correct the blurred vision that you bring more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. It is time for you to walk in your truth with one vision so as step into your power and achieve your greatness. Namaste!!!
As you embrace the spiritual awakening process it is important to be able break free from that which no longer serves you. It is important to break free from the belief systems that are creating blockages in your life by making a commitment to change your mindset and thus breaking free from that which is stopping you from stepping into your power and achieving the greatness that is your birthright.
Walk in your truth and embrace your power!!!
When you decide to break free and understand that you are one that can remove the shackles that are holding you back you will start to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. When you embrace the fact that you were born free and the only person that can take away your freedom you will find it it easier to rid yourself of the accouterments that have been holding you back over time. It is time to change your mindset and understand that it is not about the materialistic but rather the spiritualistic. Do not misinterpret this as being anti money as with money you can do many things and be of service and value to many people however the greatest gift you can give someone is a helping hand not a hand out. In breaking free from the belief that you need a big house, a fancy car, and expensive clothes to be considered successful you will find that you are able to attract everything you need so that you can positively impact your life and the lives of others.
Be The One Who Stays Positive In The Face Of Adversity!!!
As you break free from that which has kept you in mental bondage you will see that you begin to attract more bliss and abundance into your life for you stop thinking about what you do not have but you are grateful for what you do have. In the last few months I have found myself breaking away from that which is not serving a higher purpose and as a result I have been blessed with support from people who share my same ideals especially those who believe that service to humanity is the best work of life. In looking at what I was allowing to hold me back and make changes to break free I realized that it was time to tap into my divine guidance system and reconnect with GOD and remember that if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. I have also come to realize that my methods of doing things may not resonate with everyone and that is okay for those that are intended to hear my message and support my endeavors will be brought forth to me for GOD’S Plan is far greater than my own. It is important to realize that we are dancing on GOD’S Dance Floor and GOD makes the playlist.
When we let go and let GOD we are able to break free from any barriers that we perceive to be holding us back. Sometimes it is as simple as taking massive action and moving forward in the direction of our goals allowing GOD to direct us. Sometimes it is simply a matter of letting go of the people, places, and things that no longer serve us. As I sat in meditation I realized that I was holding on to some ideas that were ego driven and thus they were edging GOD out so it was time to break free from those beliefs and to simple stay connected to GOD and understand that GOD will provide all that I need so that I can continue to be of service and value to others.
Now is the time to break free and praise GOD who will continue to guide you and allow you to evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. Watch what you are focusing on as what you focus on expands. Watch the words you are using so that you can break break free. It is time to speak life and remain on your spiritual journey despite what others may think. You will encounter many people who simply will not understand that everyday you are changing and becoming stronger in mind, body, and spirit thus allowing you to break free. When you encounter these people don’t try to defend your actions simply stand in your truth and continue to walk your path showing them that you are making a better life for yourself and others.
The words we choose to use will determine how free we become. When we can turn off the negativity and break free we can move in a positive direction shining our light bright so we illuminate the world. Our words become actions and our actions can empower and inspire others. It is your time to become stronger.
As you break free from that which no longer serves you you will find that you are getting stronger and that things will improve. In the darkest of times things seem dim but then there comes a light to lift you up and thus the darkness dissipates and the light takes over allowing you to break free. Now is your season to break free!!! Namaste!!!
Many will recognize this song from Teenwolf a movie where Michael J. Fox’s learns to channel his anger for good and as a result he wins in the end. How many times along your spiritual journey have you been moved to anger only recognizing that getting angry is like wrestling a pig in the mud you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it. If you can manage your anger and realize that taking the high road and keeping calm in the face of adversity you will win in the end. As I have experienced a spiritual awakening I have found that it is better to stay calm and take action to solve a challenge than it is to get angry and walk away as when you do the later the issue still persists. Last night at The Don’t Get Spooked By Cancer Night at Hooters I encountered a situation where one of the attendees got mad and left as I asked them not to put up The Donald Trump Mannequin as I wanted to make sure that no one would be offended as our society has become ultra sensitive and I did not want any negativity cast toward the charity. I was a bit disappointed by this gentleman’s actions as I thought my request was reasonable and I asked in a polite fashion. On the other end of the spectrum one gentleman donated $30 for chance drawing tickets and when he won The Eli Manning Replica Superbowl Ring gave a $20 donation, He then won the gift basket and gave another $20 donation. Another patron gladly donated $20 for tickets and won some prizes in the chance drawing. In the end the charity won as $165 was raised through donations and the chance drawing. Hooters is sending their donation. The lesson I learned was do not let one negative action take away from all the positives and to focus of the positive because when you focus on the positive you win in the end. The best part was when I arrived home there was a signed football from Larry Little sent to me by The NFL to use in the chance drawing at The Points For The Cure Football Edition Party on Sunday November 4 at Uncle Al’s Sports Cafe in Sunrise. As I prepared for bed last night I realized that if you continue to take action and walk in your truth you will win in the end.
If you are going to win in the end and enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life you must be a warrior and commit to never giving up. Along your journey you will face obstacles and you may want to forget everything and run. At those times rest and take a breath and then decide that you will face everything and rise and you will win in the end. As a warrior you will need to detach from outcomes and simply go with the flow of the universe by letting go and letting GOD. I have found that since my spiritual awakening that when I detach from expectations and simply accept things as they unfold I attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. In the past I would worry about who didn’t attend an event instead of being grateful for those who did attend now I concentrate on those who have attended and am grateful for there presence. I have come to use the serenity prayer to keep me centered, focused, and grounded so that I win in the end.
You Have The Power To Make A Difference
I can not change how someone reacts to me but I can control how I react to their reaction. In the past I would get upset and angry when someone would get angry at me now I simply remain calm and realize that it is more about them and their feelings than it is about me. I have come to understand that I am not going to resonate with everyone but those that I do resonate with will be attracted to me and help me with my effort to be of service and value to others. The key to winning in the end is to take all your spiritual teachings and apply them so that you create a life filled with bliss and abundance. Many times it is as simple as getting back to the basics so you can win in the end.
Lessons To Help You Win In The End
One of the greatest gifts that my mother gave me prior to her being called home to GOD was Don Miguel Ruiz’s Book The Four Agreements. When times get tough I pull it out and remind myself of these four agreements and as a result I win in the end. May you continue to grow as you progress on your spiritual journey. Namaste!!!
As I left Skyline Chili On October 17 after no one showed up to take advantage of the opportunity to learn how to strengthen their brand and increase their revenue I was a bit down and wondered what more do I have to do to get people to attend events that I host. This feeling continued on October 22 after I hosted a Give Back Night at Bru’s Room located in The Sunrise West Plaza. In the last few months I have worked really hard to host events and had poor turn outs that made me want to simply quit my volunteer work with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life Of Sunrise and to stop offering workshops as I had this reoccurring thought that perhaps I am not the person people want to follow. Then on Wednesday 10/24 I was the announcer for The Cardinal Gibbons Chiefs JV Football Game and after the game I had so many parents come up to me to tell me how great I did that I realized it was time to get up. I arrived home and I really wished my DAD was still alive so I could share with him the highlights of the game and that I felt a sense of appreciation. At that moment I sat in prayer and the overwhelming message I received was that it was time to get up and move forward on my spiritual journey and continue to be of service and value to others.
As I sat down to write this blog entry I realized it was time to get up off of that thing that was interfering with my personal, professional, and spiritual growth. That thing was focusing on the negative instead of looking at the positive. As I thought more and more about how I felt knocked down I realized I was knocked down and not out and if i could look up I could get up. It was in this moment that I began to understand that it is important to take the good with the bad and then release the bad while learning from it and continue on the path to do more good. It took much introspection and reflection to work from feeling sorry for myself and defeated to get back to feeling good about all I was doing and being victorious.
Hope Prevails!!!
On of the things that helped me to get back up was looking at this photo. It is of Lacey Jerome who is 4 years old and a cancer survivor. She has had 4 brain surgeries and 10 other surgeries resulting from the complications from cancer. She is now cancer free and she threw out the first pitch at The Strike Out Cancer Day with The Sunrise Sharks Travel Baseball Team. Being the announcer for that moment is a reminder that I have had more positive things happen on my journey than negative and to focus on the joy that I have been part of. One of the Life Coaches that I know, Shantel Springer taught me a few years ago to always get up and to be grateful for those who show up to support your endeavors and to understand that the people that are meant to be there will be there. In coming to understand that as an action taker there will be some downs but there will be many ups has helped me to get up after feeling down.
As I was seeking material to encourage the readers of this blog to get up the universe conspired to help me and sent me this song by Jonas Blue. It is important for all of us to continue to rise until we fall and when we fall we need to dust ourselves off and rise up again. As I sat in reflection and looked back at all the great things that I have been part of over the last 45 years I realized just how capable I am and that if people don’t get me it is okay for I simply need to keep getting up and continue to step into my power and use it to shine my light and illuminate the world.
One of the things that I have found to help get back up is music. As you continue to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams it is important to see yourself as being on top of the world. Sometimes it takes a setback to help prepare you for a step up. In loss we learn important lessons that will help us to get back up.
One way to get back up is to rekindle the fire that lies inside of you and allow it to burn so you can continue to get back up after being knocked down. As long as their is a burning ember in your heart you can fan the flames and reach to heights that you never imagined as long as you keep getting back up. There will be challenges along the way but remember GOD will never give what GOD knows you can not handle. GOD wants you to stay up and to be prosperous so you can prosper others. I have come to grips with the fact that their are those I will encounter who will not be attracted to the projects that I am involved in but there are many that will be and that I should take great solace in the knowledge that through out my time on earth I have made a positive impact on many and that I should always get back up because I am capable of achieving great things. I hope this entry will help you to get back up if you are facing challenges as you are a divine child of GOD and GOD doesn’t make any junk. Namaste!!!
Words to follow to enhance your personal and professional life
The year was 1989 I had recently joined The Coral Springs Jaycees and I was sitting in a meeting where they were discussing cancelling the annual holiday shopping spree for disadvantaged youth. I stood up and I said I have an idea why don’t we go to local businesses and ask them to sponsor kids. They answered we have never done that before. In my unique JDOGG way I answered why not. They didn’t have an answer. It was at this time that I realized that sometimes you simply have to do your thing and make things happen. I went out and started to ask people that I had done business with to support the effort. At the next meeting I stood up and presented the Coral Springs Jaycees with just over $2000 to take 40 children on a holiday shopping spree. Over the next few weeks I set up several fundraisers including standing outside the KMART where we would hold the shopping spree. When the shopping spree arrived I had helped to raise enough money to take 64 children holiday shopping. Over the next 18 years I would be the Chairperson for The Spreading The Joy Program with The Coral Springs Jaycees and we would feed over 360 families for Thanksgiving and take over 900 children holiday shopping. Unfortunately The Coral Springs Jaycees no longer exist however the lessons I learned as a member and chapter president serve me today as I continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
JDOGG With Group 260 From The U.S. Peace Corps Philippines
I took my teachings about the brotherhood of man transcending the sovereignty of nations to The Philippines as a member of The U.S. Peace Corps where I served in The English Language Assistance Program where I taught at- risk youth English, Math, and Livelihood Skills at a Regional Rehabilitation Center For Youth in Bauaung, La Union. I served from July 2002 until February 2003. In those 6 months I became more and more spiritually aware and awake as I immersed myself into a culture that I was always intrigued by. It was in those 6 months that I came to understand what Mahatma Gandhi meant went he said the way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service. Upon arriving home in February 2003 I found myself less concerned with materialistic things and more concerned with being of service and value to others. I guess you can call this new found awareness a spiritual awakening of sorts as I found myself less focused on the big house, the fancy car, and the expensive clothes and more focused on empowering and inspiring others. In continuing on my spiritual journey I have come to draw from my experiences as a Jaycees member and a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer to make a mind, body, soul connection and to continue to show the world that one man can make a difference by doing his thing and not worrying about what other people think.
In thinking outside the box you will begin to manifest the life you desire
I have been told that I am an out of the box thinker and sometimes my ideas simply overwhelm people as they can not wrap their head around a new concept because they have not been programmed that way. This is why I continue to do my thing and make things happen. I am always amazed to see a concept I came up being adopted by others and thinking I thought of that years ago and you are first doing that now. In 1990 I was one of the 1st people to hold a Spirit Night For Charity with a local restaurant. Today Give Back Nights have been adopted by many restaurants across the nation because they strengthen their brand and increase their revenue. I have always been a bit ahead of the curve as I have tapped into my inner divinity that allows me to use my creativity to make a difference in the communities where I live, work, and play. I remember the first time I did Shout Out For A Cure at a little league football game and raised nearly $100 for The American Cancer Society and people said what a great idea. Today many leagues use shout outs as fundraisers. As I reflect back over the last 40 plus years of being involved in charitable endeavors I realize that this has been my purpose all along as I have been sent to help other people excel by doing my thing.
Beanie Babies For The Cure is a program developed by Jonathan JDOOG Lederman
As I continue to do my thing I have developed a program Beanie Babies For The Cure which raises funds to attack cancer from every angle by funding research, education, advocacy, and services. This concept came to me back in May of 2018 when a friend gave me Beanie Babies and I started to give them to cancer patients. Then I brought them out to The Antique Fair at The Festival Marketplace to raise funds for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and as a result Beanie Babies For The Cure was born. When you are connected to GOD and you head GOD’S Messages you are able to do your thing and make a positive impact on the world around you. It doesn’t matter who the president is, who is in congress, or who is on the supreme court as you have the power to do your own thing and thus be of service and value to others. As you continue on your path toward enlightenment you will encounter doubters, haters, and naysayers do not listen to them and continue to do your thing for at the end of the day the only things that matter are if you lived your life in joy and if your life brought joy to others. That $500,000 home, that $80,000 car, and the $2,000 suit well you can’t take them with you. When GOD calls you home you will either be buried or cremated and all those materialistic things will be left behind. So continue to do your thing and remember that you are simply dust in the wind.
I sat in reflection after a successful Strike Out Cancer Day with The Sunrise Sharks Travel Baseball Team and I couldn’t get the song Dust In The Wind Out of my head. I remembered a spiritual teaching that we came into the world as dust and in we will leave this world as dust so cherish all we have and embrace the chance to be a lifter for it is when we lift others that we are lifted. As you continue along your spiritual path do your thing and stay focused, centered, and grounded as you answer your calling. Namaste!!!
Help Plant The Seeds Of Hope And Healing For Cancer Patients, Their Families, and Their Friends. Http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg20All ribbons give hope to those touched by cancer
As I sat and watched NFL Football last week and saw all the Crucial Catch promotions I was filled with a sense of pride knowing that my 19 year involvement with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life was a small part in the effort to have people get screened for cancer as early detection saves live. As I saw more and more pink and then the other colors of the rainbow I started to think about the spiritual significance of the color pink. As I began to get more and more aware and awake relating to the color pink I started to understand why I felt the way I did when I donned my pink shirt the other day.
Pink, a delicate color that means sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, feminine, and tenderness, is associated with bubble gum, flowers, babies, little girls, cotton candy, and sweetness. The color pink is the color of universal love of oneself and of others. As I sat in meditation thinking about the color pink it occurred to me why I was so drawn to pink and why it was chosen to represent breast health month.
In getting into the pink you will find yourself making a solid mind, body, and soul connection.Carry Pink Sapphire to create balance in your personal and professional life.

I have witnessed a lot of pink over the past few days and each time I see it I feel a rise in my vibration and I begin to feel more energy to move forward in my quest to be of service and value to others. As I continue to see pink it reminds me that as a spiritual being I need to be leaving a legacy of hope and healing for others. In committing to be a voice of hope for others I have found that I attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. As I continue to receive messages from GOD and take action upon them as it relates to getting into the pink I find myself accomplishing some amazing things. I encourage people to start to get into the pink and to use the power of this color to enhance their personal and professional life.
Being in the pink has come to mean being healthy and having a rosy glow. There is another meaning that will take you in an entire different direction so we won’t get into that know. In an effort to get into the pink you will need to make a few choices in your life that at first may seem challenging however if you remember that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It is important to remember that GOD wants you healthy so you can prosper and thus prosper others.

As you continue on your spiritual path remember to get into the pink. As you get into the pink you will find yourself manifesting everything you desire to create a life filled with bliss and abundance.
Follow the pink path to find your true calling.
May your journey into the pink be one that allows you to reach incredible heights where compassion and kindness will rule the day allowing you to make a joyful noise as you continue to get in tune with your inner divinity. Namaste!!!
Over the last few weeks I have found that I have been wearing more and more purple. As I continue on my spiritual journey I was wondering why I was so attracted to purple so I looked up it meaning. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic. In finding the meaning of the color purple I began to awaken more and more spiritually and I became more aware of my encounters with the color purple. As I sat in meditation about the color purple and how many times it has played a role in my life I was awakened to the concept that we are all purple on the inside. Inside of us we have a divine power to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives and this power is generally represented by a purple prism that casts a shadow of hope and healing.
Amethyst is a powerful stone
The Intuitive Eye
Despite it’s prevalence, amethyst has been one of the world’s most revered stones for many centuries. Found in as many places as Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, Africa, Canada, Russia, USA and Europe, this stone has a rich history of astonishing civilizations with its stunning, saturated beauty. While the Neolithic people in Europe it as a mere decorative emblem around 25,000 B.C., Ancient Greeks and Romans used amethyst in several ways from beads in jewelry to amulets. These ancient civilizations placed a high value in this stone. Their belief was that the amethyst crystal meaning was synonymous with luxury. As such, it was highlighted as part of their crowns, scepters and rings. Christian bishops once wore amethyst jewelry in the form of a ring. It’s color was meant to symbolize royalty and an allegiance to Christ. Members of the Catholic clergy wore amethyst stone in their crosses because their amethyst meaning was one of piety and celibacy. It is even thought that the breast plate of the high priest of Israel was adorned with an amethyst as its ninth stone. It’s said that there were ten stones upon which the names of the tribes of Israel were engraved, and amethyst is believed to have been one of such stones.
The name amethyst translates in Greek to, “not drunken.” An ancient Greek myth explains this seemingly odd name. According to the myth, the god Bacchus was angry, and had vowed to descend a hoard of tigers upon the first person who crossed his path. Amethyst was on her way to give thanks at the shine of the god Diana, when she happened upon Bacchus. Before the tigers could eat Amethyst, she was saved by Diana, who turned her into a clear crystal. Bacchus, remorseful for the fate he had so recklessly caused the girl, poured the juice of grapes over the stone as an offering, and thus bestowed the crystal with its unique purple coloring. The greeks gave amethyst crystal meaning, perpetuating a belief that it could inhibit the intoxication of all who wore it. In the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, amethyst meaning is quite different. Amethyst properties are not of sobriety, but of wealth in this ancient harmonizing technique. If placed in the wealth corner, amethyst can amplify the flow of prosperity into the home.
Amethyst crystal is one of several varieties of quartz, which gives it a crystal trigonal system. With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it is a durable stone. Its lavender to violet shade is the result of iron and aluminum deposits, as well as natural irradiation. Amethyst stone is made up of silicon dioxide.
Amethyst healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness. Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress, because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness.

In life we find many spiritual connections sent to us through GOD and it is up to us to take those messages and act accordingly being guided by GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels. I often find myself connected to songs like this one from Prince that reminds me that after every storm there is a rainbow. In many cases we need to experience the purple rain and see the beauty that comes when the storm stops knowing that if GOD brought us to it GOD will bring us through it. It all comes down to growing personally, professionally, and spiritually knowing that we are divine children of GOD and GOD wants us to succeed.
Purple Flowers.
Spread Goodness With Purple Flowers
With its origins tied to royalty and ceremony, purple flowers represent dignity, pride and success. Whether grouped alone in a bold range of rich hues or mixed in with other colors to provide depth and contrast, an arrangement filled with purple blooms represents accomplishment and admiration. As I delved more and more into all things purple I began to understand why this was the color chosen to represent The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and why we give purple shirts to our cancer survivors at Relay For Life. I started to look at all the times I have worn purple be it the purple Relay For Life Sneakers of the purple tee-shirts, or purple hoodies and each time I felt a positive shift in my vibrations and thus was able to find success in my fundraising efforts. It seems that when I wear purple and surround myself with purple that I attract bliss and abundance into my life. I also find that my commitment to be of service and value to others is increased as my sense of purpose is heightened as I absorb the traits represented by the color purple.
One of my favorite essential oils is lavender as it has a soothing and calming effect. I have found that when I use a bit of lavender I am able to tap into my inner divinity and thus am better to follow the messages being sent to me from GOD to continue on my spiritual path and to shine my light bright for others to see so that together we can illuminate the world.
Allow Your Butterfly To Soar
As you continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually remember that you are are an emerging spirit and soar as high as you can realizing that we are all purple on the inside. Namaste!!!
