SPIRITUAL MINDED MAGAZINE- its been three months

Three months ago to the day, I was inspired to start a social network for the Spiritual Minded. Sort of a myspace type site thru the Ning Network where Spiritual Minded folk could go and chill together without all the bs you would find on say a myspace.
SPIRITUAL MINDED Da Movement, Da Magazine, Da Online Radio Show and Da Social Network For The Spiritually Minded! http://spiritualminded.ning.com/
At first the task seemed to be a major undertaking but once I got it goin and invited a few friends the word really got out there. Now I have about 170 members from all over the world. Places like The Netherlands, Australia, Germany, The Bahama, Jamaica, The U.K and of course everywhere in the U.S. and everywhere in between!
The site originally was a way to promote my new Spiritual Minded Devotional book series. The first book just came of on election day called Spiritual Minded- Da Daily Devotion For The Hip-Hop Generation. It can be purchased and you can check out a preview of it on http://www.lulu.com/content/2830182
The book is a way to inspire, encourage and uplift people thru the medium of hip-hop and possibly introduce a few to Christ who don't know Him for themselves and have a personal relationship with him.
What started out as a cool idea to promote and spread the word about my book, quickly grow into a great source of inspiration for alot of Spiritual Minded people and a place where Christain artists (singers, rappers, spoken word artists and DJs), Authors and others could come thru and promote their projects for free, and chill online with others and discuss spiritual matters, in a fun way, hear some good music and share a testimony!
Being a freelance writer for over 15 years and tired of chasing down publications for my check and building up everyone elses dreams, I decided to make the social network into my own magazine of sorts.
A place I could post entertainment news, reviews, interviews etc and a site for my newest online radio show all in one place! In addition to having a place to promote my book, where people could come read a preview and purchase it.
While I won't front like I have tens of thousands of people coming thru daily or even weekly, the site is taking on a life of its own and alot has happened in over the past 3 months. I just wanted to share this with anyone out there who may be interested in how to better get the word out about a particular project you may be working. Even our new president Barack Obama reached the people and got the word out thru the new media out there with his personal blog. He used sites like twitter, facebook and myspace to get the word out on what his campaign was based on. We are living in a bold new world, where anyone can reach the world from their living room.
Thank you all who have come thru and contributed to what is slowly becoming
The Spiritual Minded Movement and sort of a ministry of its own. God is good!
Check out the site, check out the book,
buy a couple of copies,
it makes for great stocking stuffer or Kwanzaa gifts!
Peace and Blessings
