Awakenings happen every day when you allow them.

An awakening is sometimes invisible to the naked eye, but to the individual doing the awakening, that specific moment or the series of illuminations and a-ha’s cannot be missed. When you’re woke, there’s no way back; no way to un-see the beauty that surrounds you or un-learn the lessons that woke you. An awakened journey is one of magnificent courage and often requires a leap of faith into uncharted waters. What you will learn in these pages is that all awakenings are gifts.

This book shares twenty intimate and heartfelt stories by real and inspiring individuals who have found freedom and empowerment through the living of everyday life. Each awakening journey is unique, and not always pretty, but you will surely see the beauty through their words. Their stories reveal the inherent faith and hard-won wisdom of these incredible authors the bitter and sweet, the fruitful and lost, the internal battle of spirit and the ease of allowing.
