MY REVIEW *****
I discovered the writings of Alison Nappi while subscribing to an online magazine called Rebelle Society. Rebelle Society always shared the work of their contributors on Facebook. Alison Nappi’s blogs, in particular, moved me beyond words. She writes gorgeous and brilliant prose. You can experience that in Five Signs, an eye-opening, inspiring, encouraging, and beautifully written book. Throughout the sixty-page read, I kept saying aloud, “Wow. Oh, wow. Oh, my God.” I recognize the ‘villains’ she talks about and so much more. This relatable work was so validating; it had me in tears. It validated me and at least one other person I know, as I’m sure it will so many others. Honestly, I think the author is an incredible spirit and a genius. And in short, Five Signs is a work of art, just lovely. I truly loved it.

An Open Letter to Your Inner Child
by Alison Nappi
To the child who couldn’t understand
why nobody could understand.
To the one whose hand was never taken,
whose eyes were never gazed into by
an adult who said,
“I love you.
You are a miracle.
You are holy,
right now and
forever.”
To the one who grew up in the realm of “can’t.”
To you who lived “never enough.”
To the one who came home to no one there, and
there but not home.
To the one who could never understand why
she was being hit
by hands, words, ignorance.
To the one whose innocence was unceremoniously stolen.
To the one who fought back.
To the one who shattered.
To the never not broken one.
To the child who survived.
To the one who was told she was
sinful, bad, ugly.
To the one who didn’t fit.
To she who bucked authority
and challenged the status quo.
To the one who called out
the big people for
lying, hiding and cruelty.
To the one who never stopped loving anyway.
To the child that was forbidden to need.
To the ones whose dreams were crushed
by adults whose dreams were crushed.
To the one whose only friend
was the bursting, budding forest.
To the ones who prayed to the moon,
who sang to the stars
in the secrecy of the night
to keep the darkness at bay.
To the child who saw God
in the bursting sunshine of
dandelion heads
and the whispering
clover leaf.
To the child of light who cannot die,
even when she’s choking
in seven seas of darkness.
To the one love
I am and you are.
You are holy.
I love you.
You are a miracle.
Your life,
your feelings,
your hopes and dreams–
they matter.
Somebody failed you but you will not fail.
Somebody looked in your eyes and saw the sun — blazing — and got scared.
Somebody broke your heart but your love remains perfect.
Somebody lost their dreams and thought you should too,
but you mustn’t.
Somebody told you
that you weren’t
enough
or too much,
but you are
without question
the most perfect
and holy creation of
God’s
own
hands.

Reviews for "A Life Awakened: The Free-Spirited Witch's Journey to Spiritual Awakening"
1. John - 2 stars
I found "The free spirited witch" to be disappointing. The plot was overly predictable and lacked depth. The characters felt one-dimensional and I struggled to connect with any of them. Additionally, the writing style was uninspiring and failed to captivate my attention. Overall, I was left wanting more from this book and cannot recommend it.
2. Sarah - 1 star
"The free spirited witch" was a huge letdown for me. The story seemed promising, but it quickly turned into a cliché-filled mess. The main character was annoying and seemed to have no real substance. The romance subplot felt forced and lacked any chemistry. The pacing was also off, with unnecessary details dragging the story along. I had high hopes for this book, but it failed to meet any of my expectations.
3. Jack - 2.5 stars
I had mixed feelings about "The free spirited witch". While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell flat. The writing was decent, but the plot lacked originality and creativity. I was hoping for a more immersive and unique magical world, but it felt like a rehash of other witch-themed books. The ending was also unsatisfying and left many loose ends. Overall, it was an average read that didn't live up to its potential.
4. Emily - 2 stars
I was not impressed with "The free spirited witch". The characters were bland and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to care about their stories. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, and the romance felt shoehorned in without any real development. It was hard for me to stay engaged in the plot as it was predictable and lacked any surprises. Unfortunately, I found this book to be forgettable and wouldn't recommend it.
