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.

Then, there are those moments that hit at the Heart of America. This one is a love story...one of our own wounded warriors home from Afghanistan.  


 Have you followed this soldier's story? 

For each of us, what is deemed unforgettable differs. For some, it is all in the name of love, whereas for others, it is unconditionally patriotic. It may be a nature experience, a walk with Mother Nature—panoramic scenery or minuscule patterns or even the depiction of natural disasters. The possibilities are indeed endless.
What do you consider your unforgettable moments?
