Sometimes we just cannot see…. we can’t see an answer, we can’t see a purpose, we can’t see our dream, and we question and wonder why. So many times we over think and we don’t realize we just have to get out-of-the-way.

For two years, while trying to get Sacajawea, The Windcatcher produced in LA, I came to realize I was actually there for a different purpose. It was painful and very lonely… it was lifechanging. Though it was difficult being away from my family, I was on a quest, ignited by my spiritual journey that had begun in 1997. It was time now to venture out, to face the dark and the light, and use all the things I had learned, and the things I was learning, while trying to get Sacajawea’s movie made, as well. Ultimately, this long road became the inspirational Embrace Book Series, with Vol. I “Awakening.”

This book is a collection of words from listening, learning and wondering. Some of these words came to me as I slept… for usually I was awakened around 3 AM. I knew in my spirit there was a reason I was waking up like that, though I didn’t know what it was at the time. But somehow it gave me great peace to always have my Sacajawea script lying next to me on the bed. So, I began to write the words that flowed out, on the backs of the pages. This happened night after night.

What I came to understand through it all, is that life’s meaning is not what we think in our minds, that we must stay open to something greater at work within us even if we don’t understand; that spiritual things are not always from the light for we need darkness (contrast), to see the truth; and that we have everything we need because we are reverently and wonderfully made.

“The essence and words of this book came from Nature, from walking a path, from listening, from the sun and moon, the wind and waves, the clouds and birds, the shifting sand and rocky soil… the light and the dark.”

This is the first in a book series called, Embrace the World with Love Words and the World will be Changed in paperback or hardcover: AWAKENING
