I just finished the new About page for the blog and wanted to post it here for you to see. You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t been posting much since we launched. So many things have been happening and I’ve been in a quandary over what focus to take with this site.
After much thought I’ve made a decision to write about things that I’ve learned or will be learning. After all, my initial intention for this blog was about learning and helping others become more aware of their innate ability to create whatever it is they desire . In following my heart I know I will produce content that you will find interesting and/or inspiring. All I ask is that you continue to read with an open mind and only take that which resonates with you and leave the rest behind for those who it is intended for.
Right now I’m not sure how often I will be posting. As you know our best intentions sometimes go by the way side. What I do know is that for the first time in a very long time I’m feeling very focused and excited to write. I’ll be attending Southwest Institute of Healing Arts this summer to audit the Life Coaching program. I was a graduate back in 2004 and so much has changed for me and the program since then. When I finished the program in 2004 my class was only the second group to complete the program.
I tell you about this because I plan to share this experience with you here. My greatest hope is that through my journey you too will benefit from the exposure and be that much closer to living your dream and fulfilling your life purpose as I am beginning to do.
I’m excited to see how all this turns out for me and most importantly, for you.
What is The Enlightened Blog?
Enlightened: To give information to; inform or instruct.
The Enlightened Blog is a place to share information, ideas and inspiration. If you are interested in improving your life in some way this is the place for you. We’ll be discussing various topics that will inspire and empower you to make better choices, learn something new, and experience feeling good physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
How was the name The Enlightened Blog created?
I chose the name because I wanted this blog to be about learning. There aren’t too many blogs that I could find that featured the material that I’m most interested in. So, I decided to create a blog that would allow me to integrate all the things that I love most: writing, creativity, sharing information with others and creating a space that is holistically focused.
Who Am I?
My name is Robin Carlton. I always knew I wanted to be a writer. I didn’t know how I could make that happen but I continued to dream about it. Well, a funny thing happened. When I decided to be a writer I forgot to mention what kind of writer I’d like to be. As it would happen I “fell” into being an instructional designer and corporate trainer in the financial services industry. Let’s just say that although my career has been a successful and lucrative one, it just wasn’t exactly what I had intended at the time. I realized after a period of time that I really could create an environment that fed my soul and allowed me the freedom to do what I wanted –to create something amazing that helps others create a better life through awareness. And wouldn’t you know I “fell” into blogging. There’s a lot more to my story and you can find out more about me and my journey by clicking here.
