Google defines conscious as, aware of and responding to one’s surroundings; awake. The word “conscious” has been in the media quite a bit recently since Gwyneth Paltrow (famous actress) announced her “Conscious Uncoupling.” Seven years ago, I began to write my thoughts about my path to divorce and titled it, My Conscious Journey to Divorce … More A word about the word, Conscious.
