The Awaken VIP List
Oct 06, 2013It’s October! That’s makes me happy for many reasons – several of which are quite trite and superficial (think tall boots, comfy sweaters and cute scarves). Others are a bit more substantial – like walks with my boys in cooler temperatures and an excuse to drive through Starbucks for a piping hot cup of the […]

Read MoreGo. Dream Again.
Oct 01, 2013Do you have any dreams or plans you once pursued but now keep safely tucked away?

Read MoreThe “God Is Able” Give-a-way!
Sep 29, 2013I like books. I just do. I like all kinds – fiction, non-fiction, light-hearted and funny or deep and thought-provoking.

Read MoreThis tree and me.
Sep 22, 2013I couldn’t help but notice this one little tree when we were outside last week, all orange in a sea of green and much smaller than anything around it. It reminded me of the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree – fall edition. I could see a little of myself in the tree. As I noticed […]

Sep 17, 2013Three years ago I was riding in a car with my parents when my father had a heart attack at the wheel. We careened in the morning, rush hour flow before my mom was able to steer the car into the barrier that separated us from the traffic going in the opposite direction. Seven cars […]
