Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Tidbit of St. Louis PB Trivia...
Peanut butter, which has been around for as long as there have been humans (though only recently sold in jars rather than strictly homemade), is reportedly always in 90% of North American homes. It is even more popular in St. Louis, the city that popularized the treat in the 1890s as a food for people missing their teeth. Then, in 1904, it was the hottest seller at the St. Louis World's Fair -- and as a people, we are in love with it still.
