The Best of Awesomely Awake {2012}

The  bulk of my life is about writing and mothering.

I refer to myself as a writer mama.

If you need to know anything about me, it is that.

My heart and soul is waking up each morning and going to bed as a mother and a wife.

And then I long to write about it all.

Awesomely Awake began simply with the spark of a book idea I woke up with one day, finally after many years of searching my soul.

I didn’t realize it would become a parenting style. I didn’t realize it would become a way of life. I didn’t realize it would become a community.

I didn’t realize it would open up a whole new world for me as a writer, as a woman and mother or as a business owner.

So as I reflect on this most amazing year ending … I am also ready to witness the many opportunities that will fall before all of us next year.

The list below reflects simply blog posts here that were the most read over the last year.
