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.
It is when the sea is rough that you make your best decisions to navigate through the rough seas to find calmness and peace. One way to do this is to quiet the mind through meditation.

Today’s Blog is dedicated to my mother, Judith Miller who was dedicated to helping me grow personally and professionally. Mom passed on July 5, 2012 due to a heart attack. Since her diagnosis of Non-Operable Metastatic Lung Cancer in March of 2009 she fought and she was winning until that final breath on July 5. As many people know I was very close to my mom and am grateful to have had her love and dedication. I wrote and dedicated the following poem to her:
Mother Teressa was a dedicated women whose mission to change the world one person at a time has left an indelible imprint on the social and spiritual landscape of the world. So when you strya from your path ask yourself what am I dedicated to? Then get back on the path and help to make a differecne in the lives of others.
