Awakenings from Then ’til Now allows you to Embrace Your Past, Empower the Present, Enrich Your Future.
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.

When a 'Rocky Road' is Enjoyed!
Summer hasn't been declared official yet but it is never too early for ice cream. In fact, we are even ahead of National Ice Cream Month, which is declared in July. Ice cream is one delectable delight that can be enjoyed all year long, any month, any week, any day, any time!
Did you know ice cream dates back to Alexander the Great (maybe even sooner)? He enjoyed snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar. You must keep in mind the purest snow and ice were usually brought down from the mountains primarily for cooling drinks. No refrigerators, not even ice boxes, no ice cream makers or special machines!
One of the better ways to enjoy ice cream is in the cone. St. Louis, Missouri, Home of the First Ice Cream Cone, tells of its beginnings @America's Story.

Visit your favorite ice cream shoppe or buy a carton from the store. This is one ride along a rocky road you will enjoy! *****
