Welcome to Awesomely Awake

I am Abundant MamaWelcome! I am honored you chose to visit today.

Being a parent is hard work – if you’re doing it right. To be Awesomely Awake means to be mindful and intentional but it also means much more than that. It means parenting in your own way and living authentically. It means being creative — and maybe not so much like the neighbors down the street.

In fact, we’re changing the world here. Spreading peace. Promoting loving engagement with each other.
