    About this ebook

    A Life Awakening is a chronicle about the troubled life of a young man named Ethan Elliot, as told by his spirit guide, William. In the first of this series, Whispers from Within, we join Ethan as he feels he finally has found his soul mate in his relationship with Jennifer. Little does Ethan realize that his entire world is about to be turned upside down. Yet, as Ethan's spirit guide, and with minimal intervention, William will guide Ethan to places he never expected to go, and to people he never expected to meet.
    Ethan's story begins in New York, when problems developed in his relationship with Jennifer. Heartbroken, Ethan, with the aid of divine intervention, decides to move on, in the hope of finding greener pastures and a new life. What Ethan discovers about himself is an important milestone, as it is to all of us when we awaken to the myriad of possibilities in the lives our souls chose to live.
    As Ethan listens to stories of the many people he meets from all walks of life, he slowly begins to re-evaluate his own true purpose in life. With the progression of both time and maturity, Ethan discovers the very essence of life itself, as well as the importance of those whom he considers true friends.
    Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you thought everything was perfect, only to discover that circumstances were about to change abruptly? Whispers from Within will open your eyes to possibilities that at first blush you never would have considered, as you follow Ethan through his journey.
    All too often in our lives, we develop a preconceived notion of what the ideal should be in a life partner, a family, a job, or any of the many situations that require decisions on a daily basis. We make those decisions based on a number of factors, often just by watching what our friends and family are doing with their lives. But in life’s grand scheme of things one size doesn't fit all, so we adjust our lives based on our own life experiences.
    Whispers from Within, for both Ethan and the reader, celebrates life, with its many paths that lie before us. An entirely new world of options for living one’s life can be found once we drop the pretense of believing we always know what we want out of life. With the aid of your spirit guide, you will gain the ability to quiet the noise of daily life, while going deep within yourself to discover your truest motivations. Like Ethan, eventually you will begin to stop fighting the life your soul chose this time around, and begin to live a life of joy that others could only envy.
    In time, Ethan learns an important lesson, that a life well-lived has its own rewards, and neither Ethan, nor the lives he touches, will ever be the same.

      PREFACE

      Just about everyone you may come in contact with in your life has experienced the heartbreak of a relationship that ultimately wasn't meant to be. We struggle as individuals to understand what went wrong, or how we may have prevented the relationship from falling apart. In so many personal stories that I have heard over the years, there is a recurring theme, being that it was all one party’s fault, when in fact, in most cases, this turns out not to be the case.

      Whispers from Within is such a story, and for those of you that have gone through the emotional pain of a separation from a loved one, you hopefully came away from your relationship with a better understanding, not only about yourself, but with the very distinct realization that we do have spirit guides that can come to our aid when most needed.

      The story within these pages is dedicated to both men and women who have loved and lost what they believed was their ideal; yet with reflection and understanding, the reader will know that our lives have both need and purpose, and that our spirit guides, ever present, can show us the way. All we ever have to do is simply to quiet our minds and listen to the whispers.

      Your true soul mate fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.

      Chapter 1: Listening to the Whispers

      In my line of business, names are never really important. I'm just one of those ethereal entities that you were assigned at birth; through the course of your human life on earth, I try my best to protect and guide you. I can communicate to you through your dreams, or gently whisper to your soul. Many times, through others, I provide a road map of expectations and possibilities. No, in my line of work, names really have never been important. But for the sake of simplicity, I call myself William.

      The story I'm going to tell you deals with a period in the life of a young man named Ethan Elliot. Like many of you residing beneath the clouds, Ethan had to deal with the joys, fears, trepidations, and hang-ups of daily life. This particular story is about love found, love lost, and the realization
