And she chose to send myself, Rick Cockrum of Shards of Consciouness, and Phil Gerbyshak of Make It Great! a copy of the book.

Hi Phil, there was a bit of burnout, but I had so much going on in my personal life that I needed to focus on it for some time. I won't be coming back full force (posting daily), but I am back and I am clearer and I am renewed. I feel like I have excess and best of all, all of the things that I talk about are at work in my life and I am reaping huge benefits. Lyman, thanks for the extra info. "We are all one" shows itself in layers to me. The recent post <a href="http://www.balancedlifecenter.com/232-i-am-in-love/" rel="nofollow">I Am In Love</a>, is yet another layer or understanding of it. Sometimes I feel what all the chasing for, it's all out there. Just relax, I am already one with it. That's another layer. I hesitate to write like that on the site because I know that when people used to say that to me I would poo, poo it. But alas, it's true! Wow, I didn’t know that the Season of Gratitude was such a draw.

I was really trying to work the whole "we are all one" thing out in my brain (not that I've got it down pat now or anything) at that time, and the post gave me some much needed clarity on the subject. After re-reading it just now, it also strikes me that it's not a "serve others <strong>so that they will serve you</strong>" idea (which seems to be the <em>real</em> subject of similar articles I've come across), but a simple, elegant explanation of a universal principle that is always working.

Your authenticity and love shine through in all you do. It seems like so long ago we did our fun interview. Thanks for making me your first. Hope to see many more great interviews up in the coming year! Here's my thoughts on your questions: 1) Yes, especially to look through the archives. I hope you keep writing more stuff, because for a while there, I was worried you'd succumbed to blogger burnout. You posted about why you were away, and I hope that is past you so you can move forward with the next phase of your life and continue to inspire us to be more spiritually aware of themselves. 2) Balanced Life Center is a place where you can learn something new about spirituality, about life, and about how to become more aware of our own spirituality. 3) Keep writing often, and find ways to feature your best stuff so newbies can dig in right away. I'm working on this for my site too, a "first time visitors" section. 4 and 5) The Season of Gratitude post was what still resonates with me, and I think of all the thought that went into that from everyone who contributed, and most of all, from you. WOW! Perhaps you could do more group writing projects like that in the next year, with a topic that's near and dear to your heart, and that you could facilitate in fantastic fashion? Keep being you Nneka! I am glad to be in your world, and to have you in mine! Nneka - Happy blogiversary! Your authenticity and love shine through in all you do.
