For those of you who follow closely you will have noticed that yesterday was the first time I missed one of my daily posts. I’ve been writing since April and, to be honest, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened sooner!
It actually served to highlight something that I’ve been sensing for a while. I don’t want this [...]

I mentioned a week or so ago that I’m heading to South Africa. Johannesburg to be precise. I leave with my wife and baby on Monday evening and we’ll be there for three weeks.
Our goal with this this trip is to raise both awareness and support for the charity – Oasis South Africa – that [...]

Wow. I didn’t expect that. I just checked the stats for this Awaken site and saw that, in the two days since it launched, we’ve had visitors from 23 different countries. Very cool.
On the whole, we’re making steady progress with people visiting the site and signing up to receive updates. My goal was to have [...]

To celebrate the launch of my new, dedicated Awaken blog (see earlier post for more details) I am going to be giving away a free copy of The Blue Sweater by Jacqueline Novogratz. This is a wonderful, recently released, book that I can’t recommend highly enough. As the subtitle suggests, the book is all about [...]
