It was natural to share ordinary things about our everyday lives with each other. Maybe our conversation started with a clever bumper sticker, a passage from a book, a funny story, or an inspiring quote. These ordinary topics quickly developed into a deeper conversation that grew as we asked one another questions and listened. 

We left eager to talk again. Why? Each time we became aware of something new about ourselves.  Who knew this would be the beginning of The Simple Journey? 

Through years of these curious conversations and our decades of recovery, we knew willingness, honesty, and action work to bring about lasting change - but nothing happens without awareness.    

Our engaging conversations inspired “Awareness Made Simple.” We explored ordinary topics and how we related to the subtle yet powerful aha moments these everyday words revealed about us. Something happened through repetition and consistency by focusing on one word for one week.   We simply became more aware.
