Hi, I’m Nneka (pronounced en-nay-kah), the daughter of a musician and a closet fashionista. That’s me singing. I was born and raised in the southern-most island in the Caribbean, Trinidad. At 8, I was taught to meditate and I’ve been experimenting with it since (present commitment to daily meditation). I was exposed and acculturalized to diverse creeds and cultures.

I’m passionate about expressing Spirit in my life and helping you do the same. For me, right now, that means writing about spirituality and how to apply it to life on Balanced Life Center. For you it may mean composing a symphony, being a conscious entrepreneur, a magnetic salesperson, or a patient, loving stay-at-home mom.

Spirit doesn’t only express in work, but in finances as infinite supply, in relationships as unconditional love, and in my body as perfect health. As such, I am consciously working on aligning my finances, relationships, and health with the nature of Spirit. In lay terms, I’m paying off debt, saving, learning to invest, building a business, being present and loving in my relationships, learning to express my emotions, losing weight, exercising, and paying special attention to my body. As I work on these aspects of my life, I will share my experiences and lessons with you.

I believe in individual freedom - the ability of every person to govern their own life and choose for themselves what is right for them. I have faith that given this freedom, people will choose the best possible outcome for everyone involved. You are always free to choose what you will have for your life. All the moment to moment choices add up.

I believe in having options. Education (formal and informal) brings options. As such, I endeavor to bring you insights on ways to live that give you options and that are options in themselves.

I believe in balance. As a Libra, I seek balance and objectivity. Ideas and actions, in and of themselves, are neither good nor bad. Something that may work marvelous for me in my life, might bring you pain in yours. Always let your conscience be your guide when assimilating information.

I believe that God is everywhere present all the time. I write this here because a lot of the ideas that are discussed here will come from that premise. When I speak of God, I speak of the Spirit/Consciousness, the essence of all that is. It courses through our lives, our being, our world. It abides everywhere.

I believe that within everyone lies their Divinity. Since God is everywhere present, He must be within each and everyone of us. Whether or not we choose to act out of that Divinity is up to us. Whether we are aware of it or not is a matter of our consciousness. Part of my purpose is to help everyone discover this Divinity within themselves and to help them uniquely express it.
