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 – 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.
