What inspired you to create Raised Path?
People have always fascinated me, especially those who have the courage and willingness to see positive change through. I created Raised Path with the help of my friend Mike Kelly. Our vision was to develop an integrity based online community where people could support each other in physical, emotional, and spiritual health. A place where people could come and share their direct experience as well draw from the experience of professional experts and other users.
We started in February 2008 with guides publishing articles, providing our readers with practical solutions and actions that can be applied to life. We have published over 200 articles in our first year and have developed a significant readership and participation.
In 2009 we are implementing new strategies and functions to increase interactivity and provide the users with more input in shaping our future. Come join us.
What experience do you draw on in your articles?
Life has taught me that everything can be handled through conversation and applied actions. There is no magic bullet, perfect answer, or miracle cure, but by communicating with other people we can gain the insight, input, and direction we need. We are all walking on similar paths, and the experience of journeying together enriches us all.
What is your current goal?
My goal for 2009 is to grow Raised Path's participation to over 10,000 people a week making a difference in each others lives. I am focusing on the development of the forums and focusing on reader participation. We've done a great job so far creating useful content and giving people a place to go. Now we want you to be creators of Raised Path's future.

Breakdown, Acknowledgment, & Recommitting

Inspiration for Life
Through each hardship I will rise through in victory. Whether you believe in God, The Universe, or Yourself it’s important to develop this type of faith. Is there another more important attitude or mindset to hold in life? Is there anyone else who has been struggling lately with this? More→
Balancing Dessert
I mentioned in my last post that I have been shooting for a more balanced and nurturing approach for my diet and exercise regimen. I haven’t had much restraint with desserts. I have a major sweet tooth and this always seems to be my downfall. It’s either dessert every day or not at all. This needs to change. More→
Letting Go
A good friend of mine was going through a tough situation and he said, “Let go or be dragged. I’m going through it anyway so why do I want to make myself suffer?” Faced with the loss of my job in the present economy, I realized how sage this observation was…
