I know I have been MIA from Medium for the past several months, but I have about six drafted pieces I need to finish up and get ready to post. As far as the theme of this contest "I Am Awake"... Well let's just say I would have a hard time picking just one story... 😂... Seems I have had a series of different "awakenings" all each as monumental in their own right upon my path. Thank you Emy for putting yourself out there for all who need it! ❤️ 😊
