COACHING FOR YOU IN 2022!As an Awyken professional coach, I help people make their dreams come true! Want to write a book? Finish those songs you started? Get more speaking engagements? Record a music project? Or perhaps you want to go back to school (like I did last year!), or start your own business. The point is you may have many options, but just thinking about them does not get you anywhere! Yes, think things through, do your research, seek expert advice and counsel, but at some point YOU must take action. Don't let fear hold you back. Don't let the naysayers get in your head. And don't let your own inner voice discourage you. You can do it! Need some help to reach your goals in 2022? I'm a possibility strategist, and I'm here for you!

I was delighted to be a part of the inaugural Nehemiah Film Festival and to moderating a panel on film scoring with an old friend - Kevin Toney - and a new friend - Evan Wright. Both are professional musicians - one a seasoned, Grammy award-winning music veteran, and the other a young and upcoming composer. You can stream this informative panel as well festival film entries and winners on demand. It was an even greater honor to host the Gala Awards Ceremony live, also now streaming on demand. Purchase all-access or selected passes at https://www.nehemiahfilmfestival.com/. This event helps fund programs and initiatives through the Nehemiah Project L.A., Bishop Ed Smith's vision to support young adult foster youth who have aged out of the system.

A NEW SEASON OF PURPOSE, PATH & POSSIBILITIES!
I OFFER PROFESSIONAL COACHING
I help people figure out how to make their dreams come true.
Why? Because dreams don't have an expiration date!
Do you have a dream you want to dust off or a new dream you want to pursue? Are you thinking more about those dreams during this unprecedented time of uncertainty and change? Perhaps you have more time now than ever before to actually plan for and move toward implementing your new or long held vision or dream - or maybe your new normal now demands that you do.
I stepped into one of my dreams when I launched The Platform nearly seven years ago. Now, I have stepped into another by becoming a professional coach. Let me help you step into yours. I did it, and you can too!
Whether it is using your creative talents or other skills and expertise, I can help you lock into purpose and dust off your dreams! I offer powerful coaching that will help you revisit or reveal, and better yet, pursue and achieve the big possibilities in your life.
Don't wait! Click below and ask me for more info. Let me help you discover for yourself how to make your dream a reality.

A THOUGHT FOR ANY DAY... READ PSALM 37:23
Allow the path laid before you to manifest your creative gifts, inspire others and promote change
Allow the path laid before you to manifest your creative gifts, inspire others and promote change

I've been thinking about pathways a lot lately. My newfound love for photography has helped me capture many variations of what paths can look like and reminded me that our individual paths are just as diverse. I had the great fortune of traveling to Europe before the pandemic and, while I marveled at the iconic landmarks we all know, I was fascinated with the spectacular array of paths and walkways I encountered. The beautiful variety brought to mind the different paths we have all taken - unique paths that tell our stories and that fuel our songs, books and speeches.
With all that's going on around us as a result of a global pandemic, the senseless killing of Black people while in police custody, mass murders and the resulting protests, there has been an awakening like never before. Where do you fit in? What is your path in this uncharted territory? How will you contribute to a path forward with your gifts and callings?
I know we are all praying for God's wisdom and protection as we experience the dramatic events of each day. Stay safe and stay well. Seek the Lord about what you can do and then...do it! Trust that your footsteps are ordered of the Lord and stay on the path He has laid out for you.
