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 [...]

Over the last week or so, my writing has focussed much more on what might be called attitudes. We’ve talked about things like humility and gratitude. This has been a shift away from some of the more practical posts that preceded them.

For those of you who haven’t read the ‘About‘ page, when I say that this site is about daily updates, I mean Monday to Friday.
This is for two reasons really:
I get to have a few days off! I jest, but this is actually important. It helps me stay fresh which in turn helps make sure [...]

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 [...]

Firstly, a very big thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the site in the last few days. Your interest and support is much appreciated! Even though this site is starting from very humble beginnings, it’s always such an encouragement to know that someone is reading! So thanks for the step of faith and [...]

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 [...]
