“Writing to Awaken is an opportunity to claim the life that you’ve been given, take ownership of your experience, and stop apologizing for having a point of view. Whenever you sit down to write, you are declaring to yourself and the world, ‘My life matters enough to remember.’ Having lived, you have the right to describe your existence in whatever way you choose.”
~Mark Matousek

You might feel overwhelmed, isolated and cut off from your spiritual source and personal sense of empowerment.
