EXPANDED AND REVISED EDITION
Tales2Inspire ~ The Topaz Collection is filled with stories of Personal Awakenings. These stories were all written by winners of the Tales2Inspire global, annual writers' contest, anonymously selected by a jury of accomplished authors. Although often compared to the "Chicken Soup For the Soul" series, Tales2Inspire books offer two distinctive features that set them apart: Each story includes original photographs to enhance the reader's experience and the books are all gift sized, to keep pace with our contemporary, fast paced life style. And in this newest e-book edition, all photos are all in full color.

The Topaz was selected as the symbol for this book because it is the gem symbolizing self-realization, while promoting energy, truth and forgiveness. It seems the deal symbol for a group of stories that awaken not just the spirit of the author, but of its readers as well.

Did you ever have an experience and know at once that the memories of that moment would last you a lifetime? This book is filled with stories of such moments, moments we repeatedly replay in our heads. Now let's look at just a few of these stories to see how they connect with the Topaz. Here is a sampling:
. a newly adopted Korean boy experiences a moment when he suddenly realizes that the woman who is pushing his stroller is now his grandmother, rather than a part-time caretaker
. an invitation to be a guest speaker at a college thousands of miles from home inflates this authors ego so much that she almost falls for a most cleverly plotted scam
. a family uproot themselves from their city lifestyle for a new life in the Australian countryside, and discover fulfillment, peace and sheer joy in their new environment
. a young girl, adopted from Guatemala, always fearful of the life she might have had, discovers that happiness comes from family connections no matter how poor, when she volunteers for a home rebuilding project in Nicaragua.

At other times these most precious memories come from a cluster of experiences spread over an extended period in time, such as in the story A Horse Named Cody, where this author slowly masters the technique of communicating with her recalcitrant horse.
The Awakenings stories found within the pages of this book fall into one of these two categories. But they will warm your heart as they inspire you to live your life to its fullest. Don't be surprised if you begin to view the world and your place in it slightly differently after savoring the Tales 2 Inspire ~ Topaz Collection of inspiring Awakenings stories.
