Spiritual Awakening: Photographs And Memories!
As I was going through photographs I began to reflect and realized that a spiritual awakening can be evoked simply by the memories that a photograph represents. Here I am am in The Philippines as A U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer. This photo brings back memories of joy of knowing that I was being of service and value to others. At first I was a bit timid but I took a deep breath and knew I would be okay as the owner of the Caribou was very close. Yes those are rice fields that you see in the background and yes I did help to harvest the rice. The process of harvesting the rice taught me patience and brought me a sense of accomplishment as I would help to bag the rice and sell it at the dry market. It was at the dry market that I realized just how important it is to be centered, focused, and grounded.
Here I am receiving The Munford Johnson Community Service Award from The SAKE Committee of The City Of Lauderhill. In my acceptance speech I spoke about holding fast to your dreams. I remember afterwards one of the commissioners coming up to me and telling me how I was a good orator. This award was earned because I took action and committed to helping other people excel by showing that passion + action = success. Success is measured in many ways some measure it in materialistic accomplishments others measure it in lives touched. Being part of The SAKE Awards that night showed me the importance of coming from a spiritual base.
Is is when we go through old photographs that we are able to reflect and pause for a moment to be grateful for the memories that were created. As we continue along our spiritual path we will have many opportunities to create special moments in time and to relish in shining moments that will permit us to move forward in a positive direction of our goals.
When we experience shining moments in our life they are imbedded in the cortex of our brain allowing us to pull them from our memory bank to fuel us to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. The shining moments we create will impact us and others.
It is when we commit to manifesting moments is time that we open up the spiritual passages necessary changes in our personal, professional, and spiritual lives so as to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. It is when we rise above everyone’s expectations that we thrive and grow. As we look at moments in time we can use the memories to improve our world one community at a time. In the end all the trials and tribulations can be overcome simply by tapping into your inner divinity and creating special moments in time.
This young girl is a cancer survivor and I had the honor to be the announcer for STRIKEOUT CANCER Day where she through out the first pitch. This photograph serves as a reminder to continue to move forward in my quest to help those touched by cancer. It also serve to remind me to use my talents for good to create positive memories that resonate with others as I continue on my spiritual path. The memories we create will be etched upon our heart to allow us to be heart centered in all we do so that we can show others that what the mind can conceive and the heart can believe we can achieve. It is in creating positive memories that we can shift the paradigms in our life and create bliss and abundance for ourselves and others.
Here I am announcing a Miami Fury Women’s Tackle Football Game. When I look at this photo I am able to reminisce about some of the positive things I was able to do while connected with the team. I am no longer affiliated with The Miami Fury however I have some great memories and some excellent experiences that I will utilize to enhance my personal, professional, and spiritual life. When I look at this photo I understand that announcing is one of my callings and that I right where GOD has intended me be.
Now is your time to create some memorable memories that will evoke happiness and allow you continue to live a purpose driven life. It is your time to understand that this is the day the lord hath made and to rejoice and be glad in it as you make memories that will be impactful to you as you awaken spiritually. Namaste!!!
