DEDICATE THIS DAY- SHORT VERSION

DEDICATE THIS DAY:

I was reading one of my favorite books the other day and I came across a part ib the book titled, "DEDICATE THIS DAY." The premise of it is that you dedicate a day to someone who is in need through expressions of love, kindess, and compassion. One of the greatest gifts you can give someone who is in need is kindness. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return. Tokens of love provides clarity, the opening, and the grace for miracles to happen.

So I have decided to dedicate this day, August 24th to Elizabeth Yturralde-Cameron and her battle with cancer. Elizabeth is an amazing 13-year old girl with a such a powerful smile and such a fighting spirit. Her heart is strong and bright and it radiates everything around her. She is an absolute inspiration to so many people. 

My birthday wish on this day is for people to please take the time to read Elizabeth Yturralde-Cameron's story. A brave 13-year old girl and her battle with cancer. Please share her story with others (it's amazing how far our vibrations can go and spread). But most importantly, realize that every day offers us countless opportunities to love and help someone in need.

ELIZABETH'S FIGHT...

Be there for Elizabeth by helping in her battle with cancer. Support and donate to her fight. Whatever amount you choose to donate big or small it all adds up in the end. Anything is better than nothing...and it truly is not about the amount it is about taking the time to see the reality a what a young girl is facing . By offering support, you will help her to feel and stay strong when she feels weak. You help remind her that her and her life do matter. You may help build up her strength and confidence during the lowest moments of her journey. By your support, you may restore her faith again if it has been lost for a moment. Your actions may help contribute to her finding an inner peace again. There is definitely an amazing process that unfolds, and if you pay attention you will begin to reveal the true meaning of life and what we should really be doing...and that is helping one another.

When life shows us a 13-year old girl with a fighting spirit facing one of the most challenging obstacle she has had to face so far, we must help in someway. We must truly understand the full message and believe anything and everything becomes possible. I love this quote: "Once a heart opens to the other side, it can never completely shut again."

BE A WELL OF STRENGTH, HOPE, AND LOVE for someone who is in the face of a serious illness. Acts of kindness makes wishes come true and miracles unfold. You may be given a gift to witness things go from an obstacle to a miracle and knowing somehow the miracle will show up on the other side of the obstacle. Help me fulfill my birthday prayers and wishes today. We must give Elizabeth's story a voice and wings to fly. Please spread this young girl's story with your friends and try offer support if you can. 

DOFITNESS GIFT...

I am a big believer that tragedy and unfair situations do bring out the goodness in people. I believe that we live in this world to overcome our own struggles-to learn from them, to be more kind to others, to be more loving, and to offer our unique gifts at the RIGHT MOMENT IN TIME AND THE RIGHT WAY.  We all have the power to make a difference, the opportunity to help someone heal and win, and to help bring hope back that will end up helping 15 children by helping and starting with one. 

With all that being said and on behalf of Dofitness Studio, I want to challenge people to step it up. Don't think...JUST DO! So for every amount donated to Elizabeth's fight, Dofitness will match that amount and offer free personal training sessions, an awesome ab challenge program, a customized program design for your specific needs, or nutritional tips- recipes- eating regimens to help you reach your goals. 

If/When you donate, 1.) Please put your full name in the appropriate boxes. 2.) There is a place where you can leave a message that will appear under your name. The message you will type in for this Dofitness Giveaway is "FIGHTING SPIRIT." 3) Contact me by email with your name, your age, and your contact information. My email address is dofitness@gmail.com. You will then be contacted, and you will be set up for your first appointment with love. :)

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me on facebook or email me at the above address. I hope you will help me fulfill my birthday prayers and wishes today and help this amazing 13-year old sweet girl named Elizabeth and her journey into the realities of cancer.

DEDICATE THIS DAY-EXTENDED VERSION

LIFE COMES FULL CIRCLE...
The adventure of life is to LEARN. The purpose of life is to GROW. The nature of life is to CHANGE. The challenge of life is to OVERCOME. The essence of life is to CARE. The opportunity of life is to LOVE. The secret of life is to DARE. The beauty of life is to GIVE.

OUR ACTIONS GIVE LIFE STRENGTH...

Each of us has a life filled with choices, and sometimes you can make a choice that can help someone you love or someone you don't even know. Each moment of your life is so special...and the people that are in those moments and in your life are there for a reason. A purpose is always fulfilled in each of those moments and will remain constant for life.

Giving to others/helping others gives us more than we give away. Everything you do matters. Every move you make, every action you take...MATTERS. 

How far forward does someone need to go in your life to show the difference you make and the difference you could make? You, me, everyone have been created in order that we might make a difference...that we might fulfill our purpose. We have within us the power to change someone's life, to help someone in need, and to give our life meaning/purpose. Do you have the courage to experience life through the needs and eyes of another?

YOUR LIFE...AND WHAT YOU DO WITH IT TODAY...MATTERS FOREVER.

EVERYONE HAS THEIR SOMETHING...

When situations present themselves do we act on them or look the other way? Everyone has something to give, even if it is a small something...it is still something. I believe it is the small things that help build the bigger things. The bigger things would not be possible without the smaller things. 

I believe deep down, everyone wants to feel they can give something that will help someone in need. It is amazing to see the process extend itself into a big chain reaction that has the power to bring so many people together to help make a difference.

MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY...

Pay attention to the cracks. Most things have cracks, that is how light gets in. Never lose hope!
"Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark."
Grace dissolves every challenge we face. What is real in this life IS A LOVE THAT ENDURES. 
SMILE BIG TODAY and have a wonderful day!

CAMERON'S HEAVEN DAY- Gracious Offerings

In Loving Memory of Cameron Averitt Bobbitt. 
Keep Faith, Awake To Grace, And Always Have Hope.

Incorporate the LOVE and POSITIVENESS of MIRACLES into your thoughts and actions. Appreciate all the BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE MIRACLES that surround you. ALWAYS EXPECT A MIRACLE. MIRACLES have always existed and they are just waiting for you to discover them. Cameron was and still is an ANGEL...AN ANGEL OF MIRACLES, WHO IS ALWAYS WITH YOU- ALWAYS ready to give you PEACE, LOVE, and HOPE. 

Cameron is in the CLOUDS, which mirror images of HEAVEN that INSPIRE YOUR SPIRIT. The clouds ECHO the many different parts of our makeup that can at any given MOMENT, cause YOU to experience a BEAUTIFUL GIFT-ONE THAT IS MEANT FOR YOU! LOVE is never lost. LOVE WILL FLOW back to soften and purify YOUR HEART. LOVE IS CAMERON AND SHE IS ALWAYS WITH YOU! 

Work Hard In Everything You Do

The Bottom Line is that YOU must work as hard as you can every single day. Each day is a new day with a different beginning and a different end. Don't be concerned with time...just work hard and give it 100% every single day. Each day brings new hope and changes...helping you to discover what truly lives inside of you. Discipline yourself and you will develop at whatever rate is natural for you. It is up to YOU to find the answers and to do whatever it takes.

The key is to persevere, no matter the cost. Dig in....dig in deep and you will be surprised what you will find. Each of us has so much to give and so much to conquer. Believe in your abilities and potential and YOU will win every time! YOU WILL SUCCEED! 

You Can Overcome

This is a special tribute (two year anniversary) to the people of Joplin, Missouri for the tragedy they endured on May 22, 2011 and to the State of Oklahoma, especially to the people of Shawnee and Moore, Oklahoma- my thoughts and prayers are with everyone during this difficult time. BELIEVE  in your hearts that even though your life seems unbearable right at this moment...that in time that you can and will OVERCOME just like Joplin did. STAY STRONG.

It is through loss and tragedy that people become real life warriors- tested to see what truly lives within them. They must be brave and have courage, they must see everything (good and bad) with their heart. Your heart is your strength helping people rise above the sinking feeling fear brings. Centered at the heart of your soul is all the courage and support you will ever need to go beyond and above fearful situations. Courage is an energy that gives someone the chance to go beyond their limits. YOU HAVE COURAGE!

Tragedies happen on a daily basis and, unfortunately will continue to happen. BUT...understand that through tragedy and chaos, the TRUE HEART AND LOVE from another person becomes visible. Tragedy brings people together...reminding everyone that we are all in this together. Watching people come together in time of need is a beautiful experience. It truly shows a "quality" human being and what REAL LIVING is supposed to be...living for others and taking the time to help one another. 

Adversity shocks all of us to higher levels, but it is through hope, faith, resilience, and good will that everyone overcomes. Remember, a new day is always dawning. Dawn is the first light of day, a time when we welcome the gradual rising of the sun. A dawning is a new beginning, a chance to start over with a new flood of light. Begin to grow lighter, and you will overcome and shine as bright as the first light of day. You must have HOPE NOW...hope that things will get better in time, to understand that life challenges us each and every day but how you take on that challenge is what matters most. Keep your head up high, stay STRONG and BELIEVE that you will overcome this. Live your life with LOVE and rebuild what you lost with it. LOVE WINS. 

The 2011 Joplin tornado was a catastrophic EF5 multiple-vortex tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri in the late afternoon of Sunday, May 22, 2011. A total of 162 people were killed by this tornado, 1,100 were injured, and the damages cost up to $2.8 billion (2011 dollars). It was the deadliest tornado to strike the United States since the 1947 Texas-Oklahoma Tornado. It also ranks as the seventh deadliest and costliest single tornado in US history (even with adjustments for inflation). Today, it has been two years since this horrific tornado struck the people of Joplin, Missouri. My thoughts and prayers are still with you.

CREATE...LOVE...HOPE

THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE... 

There is a story behind everything. How a picture got on your wall, how a scar got on your knee. Sometimes the stories are sweet and simple; sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. That is truly what life is all about...the good and the bad...the pain and the pleasure. You can't experience one without the other, both play a role in shaping who you are and what you'll become. 

DON'T EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR HOPE. Even when it gets dark, the stars come out. 
STAY STRONG!

You Hold The Key

YOU HOLD THE KEY…

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves. BELIEVE WHAT LIVES INSIDE OF YOU…YOU HOLD THE KEY.

THE IMPACT OF RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS...

I know that my blog is supposed to be based on both mind and body components that will help you discover your journey of health and fitness. But for me, fitness goes deeper than that (the obvious- "JUST" mind and body). It is mind and body + more...I have always liked looking at the whole picture. Everything that surrounds me not just the obvious things or the visible ones, but the ones that are hidden or lost. I love to inspire and challenge people to discover or dig deeper than what is on the surface. For me, a person who has a complete understanding of "fitness" or who is "fit" is someone who is physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually sound. And even though we could have one of these traits or some, every day is a brand new day to discover more and become more "fit in life"...and that is what makes life so interesting. 

Everything is practice and everything is learning. We never stop learning...never stop improving...never stop growing. No one will ever be completely "fit"...many may get close but I still believe it is and will always be a work in progress- A continuous and everlasting discovery that reveals both your strengths and weaknesses for your everyday understanding of your purpose in life.  It is important to fully understand the life you live as a "fit" person and the life that exists all around you. I love to read and I love to read about things that touch deep within my heart....To me this is an experience or a moment that molds me and helps me to continue to learn about myself and about others. We are all connected and we ALWAYS have something to gain from the next person...never stop learning, never stop growing, never stop ANYTHING. So with all that said, I want to take the time to share this story that touches my heart deeply...a random act of kindness from one person that means the world and life to another person. 

Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles and helped carry some of the stuff since they were going the same way. As they walked, Marked discovered the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.

They got to Bill's house and Mark went inside to watch t.v., and continue talking about their lives. The afternoon passed by pleasantly with laughs and stories, which developed into a wonderful friendship. They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated junior high school. Ironically, they ended up at the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. It was finally here...their senior year graduation. Wow!! How time flies.

Three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk. Bill reminded him of the day many years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker that day because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had my dad's gun under my bed and I was going to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books that day, you did a lot more. YOU SAVED ME LIFE."

WE ARE THE CATALYST

Inner rising consciousness that is awakening...changes that stem from the HEART. Blessing is strength...it is endurance, resilience, wisdom, discernment, capacity, and dependence. We cannot continue to try to outfight, outdo, outmatch, and outrun. Many close their eyes for good, while many do not close their eyes at all and drown in sorrows of the world and of people all night. A hope to dream of a symphony of peace...a peace of blinding. Since darkness is the lack of light, a blinding light is light that exceeds all darkness.

We must change our ways and begin to support one another, to help each other, change our negative thoughts...create an atmosphere of support, purpose, strength, courage, and love. LOVE WINS!
