Dreams Awake Movie

I know I have posted about this before but I wanted to come back and post again. This is an absolutely wonderful movie with a great cast and I have to say I completely and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is spiritually minded. It was released on 1-11-11 and I got my copy soon after as I had pre-ordered it because I loved the trailer (see below). I watched it for the first time and it left me near speechless because it just made so much sense. It is a wonderful film with a wonderful message that is a definite boost to your spiritual journey regardless of which path you follow.

I don't want to give away too much but this movie touches on so much including the road blocks we all face on the path to enlightenment. It touches on reconnecting to the past, reconnecting with nature, reconnecting with family, finding yourself and much much more. Get yourself a copy of this today if you are at all spiritually minded because I think you'll find it very interesting indeed. Check out the trailer below to see if it piques your interests.

Working, Writing, Podcasting OH my!

Well I have been spending the last couple of months since my vacation working, writing, and working on my podcast. I've started work on a couple of writing projects both non-fiction and fiction. I've been working my day job and for Oaklight Publishing on a daily basis and of course trying to get some wonderful guests on my podcast.

Most recently on my podcast I had a great guest Paranormal investigator and author Debi Chestnut. It was a great episode and I had a great time interviewing her. Today I had an interview for a podcast I will release next Sunday, early am eastern time with Philip Carr-Gomm. Philip to those who may not know him is an author, psychologist, educator and the Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (http://www.druidry.org). It was a wonderful interview and I am sure that any who listen to it will enjoy it. Feel free to check out all my other episodes too.

Starting from Debi's interview and until the end of the month the podcast is holding a contest. To enter all you need to do is e-mail awenspath@cox.net and tell me you wish to enter. Of course some feedback on the show might be nice but not necessary.

I am going to be trying to blog a bit more while I work on my writing and podcasting and working, not to mention chasing around an active three year old and meditating when possible. With luck some things will pick up and others slow down and balance be achieved as needed.

Vacation January 2011 to present

Well I've been home for just about a week from vacation so its time for me to give my little tell all. Firstly, I will say that all images were taken by me, and all opinions here are strictly my own and have not been influenced by any personal gain whatsoever. This will contain all the good and bad about my trip and some of the bits in between. There will be pictures of some things including my son. I hope you enjoy.

This year on vacation we went to Universal Studios in Florida and stayed at the Nickelodeon Suites Hotel. I loved the hotel and it could have been a vacation unto itself for someone with smaller children. The first day had the worst part of the vacation and therefor has the worst picture (though taken a couple days later). That evening I was playing with my son chasing him around the room and broke my little toe on my luggage (its ok to laugh my wife did for 20 mins).
Here's the foot:

Note the bruising across the other 3 toes. Quite fun. Lol. Ok now for the good bits.

The Nickelodeon suites hotel was great, very friendly staff and fun characters to have breakfast with (additional charge) or take photos with(scheduled throughout the day). My son was excited to meet all of his favorite Nickelodeon Cartoon stars such as Spongebob, Dora, Diego, Ang, and many more. He has such a wonderful time there and it was brilliant. Downside... The shuttles to universal did not have the best schedule especially if one wanted to visit Seaworld (we did not go there but it was insane short schedule) though from what the drivers said the times were dictated by universal with their partner hotels not the hotels themselves. All in all I loved the Hotel and would definitely stay there again, though our next planned trip to Florida we will most likely be spending it at Disney.



Ok so now onto Universal. We went to Universal Studios and Universal Studios Islands of adventure. We had a great time with many of the shows and rides. Freddy had a ball and even got to meet Spiderman (Boy he loved that). It was fun all around and of course we got their early one day and spent most of our time at the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter. See pictures below. It was absolutely fun and we enjoyed every moment even the line to get into Olivanders. It was by far the most popular attraction due to its newness and the butterbeer (Frozen and cold) and the Hogshead microbrewed ale was great as well at the Three Broomsticks. Best recommendation is to go as off season as possible and go to the Harry Potter bit either as early as possible or near the end of the day to avoid the crowds. Its really enjoyable. We all had a blast, and all the other areas and attractions were great too... we must have rode on the Cat in the Hat ride over a dozen times Fred loved it so much.




Well due to the vacation there was no Awen's Path Podcast last week and as I have been busy and could not line up a guest for this week it will most likely be me chatting and I am sure I will touch on the vacation and the good time I've had. Also over this last week I have been working hard as my publisher is now accepting queries for more info on that if you are looking for a publisher check out http://www.oaklightpublishing.com .

Well that's all for now hope you liked the pictures and such and I will post again soon.

Dreams Awake Movie

In today's mail I received a copy of the movie Dreams Awake. It was a wonderful movie about spiritual discovery set on the beautiful Mount Shasta. I really thought I would like the movie months back when I first saw the trailer for the movie. I will be attaching the youtube link to the trailer here.

The main cast of the movie are Mount Shasta (Oh yes the mountain has character), Tim O'Connor, Erin Gray and Gary Graham. It was a wonderful film with a moving spiritual message. I don't want to give to much away so I will just embed the trailer from youtube here for you to check out for yourself. I completely recommend this film wholeheartedly.

Snow 2011 and other annoyances

Today we are having one hell of a snowstorm. Now as if that were not enough I woke up this morning to having no heat in the house and had to call for an emergency appointment with a plumbing company. Much to my surprise someone was out and about and its now fixed though the boiler still needs to be services and have a couple of valves replaced at least now we have heat.

They say "when it rains it pours" well I say "When it snows, Migrate south". Oh well off to unbury the driveway a bit more. Then again when it either slows down or stops because like it or not I will have work tomorrow.
