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.

Being Thankful!

Elections are over! Whether the results brought about smiles or tears really does not matter at this point. In any kind of competition, one person wins. Another loses. This is the matter of fact way of looking at it only from an individual perspective. What truly matters here is our nation. My America, YOUR America, Our America! A monumental, pivotal point in American history has led us to a new beginning because we live in a country that allows the democratic voting process. Let us stand together as a united nation remaining always thankful for the privileges living in America has to offer...the right to vote being just one!


Being thankful comes natural in the month of November. With the special day of Thanksgiving less than two weeks away, preparations are already in the making with the best recipes in the country being sought out in order to beat the best of the best set forth last year.Travel plans bring on smiles and laughter in anticipation of the feast of the year. Food, fun, fellowship amid family and friends!
