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.

Dragon's Loyalty Award

 
 The two awards, the “Very Inspiring Blogger” and the “Versatile Blogger”, 
have combined their powers to become…The Dragon’s Loyalty Award.

Awakenings has been tapped by Alastair for the Dragon's Loyalty Award. This award is extra special for two reasons: its symbolism being the dragon and its ties to loyalty. It is very humbling for Awakenings to be recognized with these words. "Why," you may ask? 

The Dragon
This mythical creature surrounded by tales of mysticism often airs a spiritual significance with its only boundary imagination. Within those tales, the dragon is known for its greatness, a symbol of power and majesty, as well as oftentimes compassion.The dragon is also associated with wisdom, in some instances, even being recognized as wiser than humans. Like the strength of the dragon, within Awakenings lies the stalwartness of a great nation!

Loyalty 
By definition, loyalty is "faithfulness or a devotion to a person, country, group, or cause." Being loyal signifies a feeling of allegiance and has a strong bond with patriotism. Loyalty demands responsibility and obedience whereby personal devotion is a key factor. The voice of loyalty is the voice of freedom, the voice of freedom is the voice of America.
Thank you, Alastair, for considering Awakenings as being a loyal dragon! As with any award, there are rules.
