Good news today: The Mindfulbalance Blog has been nominated as one of the 5 finalists in the Best Achievement in Wide Range of Topic Interests in the Blogisattva Awards. These awards honour “excellence in English-language Buddhist blogging”.

I am quite surprised but very pleased that the blog be recognized in this way. It started as a simple resource place for those who are attempting to develop a more mindful approach to their lives, providing reflections and encouragement along the path. When you look at some of the other blogs that have been nominated in this and other categories, one can see the quality of writing and depth of reflection that is out there on the internet. It is quite humbling to be included in their company. However, the main reason I am pleased is that the posts seem to be of some support to people as they try to maintain an inner life in today culture which has lost its roots. I thank all my readers and hope that you will continue to stop by once in a while!
