@ HANLIE – Your comments always put a HUGE smile on my face. Although miles apart, I really feel like I “know” and resonate with your energy so well. Thank you and the souls I mentioned and their work are so awesome in so many ways to make a person really “think”, grow and evolve. I highly recommend them all!

@ LANCE – Hello and wow – yes, can you believe it has already been a year since I wrote about 5 special people to me the first time, and here we go a year later…I am amazed at how much we have all grown and how much closer we have become as well – what a gift!!!!

I am so, so happy to be able to call you a friend today and am so grateful for the gift of your presence in my life to this day! Thank you Lance, really for everything!

@ MEGAN – Thank you Megan for sharing your experiences with some of the people I mentioned here and I am glad I was able to share some new people who are also amazing souls to learn with and from!

And thank you for your beautiful words too about me. I am so thankful too for having met you and am loving the journey of getting to know you more and sharing our joys together as we grow and learn :)

@ TESS – Hi Tess and thanks so much for sharing such valuable thoughts about some of the beings mentioned here.

It was an honor to include you as I really have been touched by your vitality and energetic approach to life – it is so great! So thank you for being you and I look forward to sharing in the journeys we both travel as time goes on…

@ AKEMI – Hi Akemi and the pleasure is all mine! I enjoy our friendship and learning experiences :)

@ NADIA – Nadia, I totally know what you mean about being speechless – it is a “funny” feeling. When it comes to what was said here by all the comments I too feel so speechless, it is like there are no words or right words to truly describe the amount of love and gratitude that one can share. It is a beautiful feeling though to be surrounded by such amazing energies – yours being one of them! Thank you so much for all you have said and it was such a pleasure to include you!

And I so agree about the ACIM…it is not an easy book to master, so many props to Tess for taking on that journey and sharing her wisdom with others!

@ JULIE – Dear Julie, I do not want to say anything to take away from your beautiful comment. Your words always humble me so much, and making me nothing short of speechless, as I feel my heart warm and expand to dimensions I did not know possible.

I have so enjoyed sharing these beautiful words about all those mentioned last year and this year, and feel forever blessed for having come across them (which of course includes you). Thank you again for being who YOU are Julie – your presence will forever inspire and uplift me to a higher state of being!

@ JOY – Hello Joy and this was truly my pleasure! I hope you enjoy the writing and wisdom that each of these authors shares :)

@ BERNIE – When I read your comment, I again was rendered speechless…except that this time I had to hold back tears of my own. It is a funny thing that happens to me, when overcome with emotion (good emotion) I do feel that some tears have become a natural thing, especially when someone dear to me shows tears, it invokes them in me as well. I have also learned for the most part, not to hold them back. I embrace them and do not equate them today with pain.

Bernie, all that I said came not only from my heart, but I feel like all that you say is so “normal” with a fresh breath of air type of feeling. I know the feeling too of feeling “isolated” for thinking a certain way. In the last couple of years of my personal changes, I did not pretend to be someone I wasn’t, I just did not share the real me openly. I knew that people in our society don’t really think like “that”. This is why having this community of like minded souls here, connecting with them and sharing with them is such an amazing blessing.

I have to be honest, I don’t think the full impact of your words to me will kick in for quite some time yet. It is something I will savor for a long, long time to come.

Ultimately Bernie, I know that no words here will or can really express what I feel for a connection to a soul like you. So I will leave it as a simple “thank you” and allow the nature of our higher selves to relay the depth of my feeling properly. Thank you for being YOU!

@ STEVEN – Hi Steven and welcome to Evolving Beings. It is so wonderful to hear that the material and my writing style resonate with you. I just like to say it as I feel it, and I think in a world where there are so many “cover ups” by so many organizations we are all craving for some real authenticity and sincerity. So it is my intention to share that not only with the people who I come across each day personally, but also through my writing and the connections I make with the people on the web.

@ KAUSHIK – Hi and thanks for checking out these awesome souls! I hope you enjoy getting to know the new ones!

@ PATRICIA – You are so welcome Patricia and thank you right back to you :)

@ STEVEN – Hello Steven and what beautiful words you have shared here about bloggers. You know I wholeheartedly agree – there are many, many selfless bloggers out there today who write and share their love, passions and knowledge just to share with others or help them – most of them with no monetary gain from it.

It is wonderful to see the world we can create when individuals who are so giving collaborate to make this place the best it can be :)

@ KARL – Hi Karl and what amazing thoughts you have included here! Yes, it is amazing to be touched in a deep way by people out there and it really does matter at the end of the day how we loved and cared for another. All the material stuff really passes away in comparison to what the heart is capable of!

Thanks for your comment and keep on spreading the love that you do when it comes to work happiness. There are a lot of people in need of happiness when it comes to their jobs, and you are providing so much value through what you write!

@ WILMA – Hello Wilma! You know as I mentioned I enjoyed doing this so much! It is amazing how acts of kindness may indeed impact another, but what amazing results they bring to the person performing the act! Truly it feels AMAZING and I love adding to the positive energy of the Universe through things like this! So thank you Wilma for all the wonderful work you do on the net and may kindness and love always light your path, as you light the paths with those for others.

@ CATH – Hi Cath, so great to hear from you here! And yes I highly recommend Bernie’s blog as he has not only caught some amazing shots of wildlife, but the words that he includes with all of his photos are a gift on their own to our heart, mind and spirit.

@ KATIE – Wow Katie, you put such a huge smile on my face with your comment, especially that first line – that my mouth actually hurt. Thank you – that was really something!

And thank you for the feedback about this site, it really means so much Katie and I hope to always inspire, encourage and empower others through love, light and unity!

@ ROBIN – Dear Robin…when I saw your comment, I took a moment before I read it, as I have come to know that when you speak, each and every, and I mean every single one of your words is filled with an energy that has so much love wrapped around it that as Tess said, “you are on an entirely different level” than most.

And than Robin when I read about your computer troubles, and the fact that you still waited for the page to load. And that you still commented, even though you knew it was going to be so time consuming and probably very frustrating dealing with the technological problems you had. Robin – what do I say to that? And more importantly do you know how much that says about you!?!?! My God, you are someone who I don’t think anyone here would disagree with me if I called you a saint.

What you do for this world, for the forests, the wildlife and the people is so admirable and that is why I am so, so fortunate to call you friend.

I am so touched to hear that you enjoy the emails and the photos, they are really a pleasure to share with you and I never expect anything in return. I am just so glad to know you and be friends. Thank you Robin from the depths of my heart and being for the person you are, and the way you touch my life.

You are soooooooo generous of heart and spirit that this WHOLE thing made me sit here tonight and cry. My computer is down and in the shop and I’ve having web hosting problems. I’m on an old lap top that is so slow It took almost 3 minutes to open this page. I can’t comment even if I am patient as I am spending all day and night backing up my website and blog (due the hosting problems). But I was thinking about you today and missed you. So I sat here playing the piano while waiting for your page to open. Yes, it took that long. :)

It hit me while reading all this that you have chosen and surrounded yourself with people who are what YOU are. All the things that you say about each of us…are YOU. You know Evita, I’ve had a very rough week and when I came here and saw this not only did I do quite a bit of crying, but I found it very very healing to be included with YOU and these truly lovely and dear people. It was like you held me and the whole stress of my week washed away. And I felt a strong strong bond to you and ALL the people here that I’ve connected with and love.

I feel like you all are part of a fabric that helps support who I am. I don’t even have to think of each person specifically to feel this. It’s like all the threads of a beautiful weaving; they are ALL beautiful on their own and yet put together they are BRILLIANT beyond words. It would be so amazing to be in the same room with all these people and YOU.

This week I have been hiking across the high desert at sunset and the other night I thought of you and the beautiful emails you’ve sent me with the various photos. And I thought I have to tell Evita how much they mean to me. I have often wished my work load was not so intense right now so I had more time to respond. But I want you to know that you are with me…always, Evita. Your uniquely pure innocent beauty just bring tears to my eyes. You are seen and loved. Robin

They have a gift.

I’m learning from their example and trying to create connections like they do. Because at the end of the day it’s who we love that truly shows our greatness.

It is extremely moving to see those growing bloggers because they are all such beautiful and selfless people. They have the gift of giving to others and granting us with admirable and wise life style philosophies. They are surely great individuals :)

Thank you for providing this list, I am going to go check them out now! :D

Steven

Lovely words and writing – always learning something new when I drop by…

I am deeply touched by all the sentiments shared here. It was such a pleasure to write this and share my gratitude about so many of the amazing people out there and to have the love come back like this to me just made this experience completely humbling. Thank you.
