My name is Lee, and I’m the original creator of bmindful. Sometime in 2012, I handed the reigns over to someone else as I no longer had the time to help the site grow.
If you’re interested in how I’ve been spending my time recently, check out my web site or blog, or keep in touch on twitter or flickr. I’ll still be around bmindful from time to time, but if you need to get in touch, the best way is through one of these channels.
Great site Lee, the new features are fantastic! It really is a credit to you that you have built this community in your own time & at your own expense.
And for anyone who is wondering whether they should upgrade their account, stop thinking about it & do it. It’s well worth it! Just affirm to yourself that “bmindful is adding value to my life” & get on with it!!
You have made positive communication extremely easy with this wonderful site, full of wisdom, and guidance. I am currently writing a book about surrendering ones soul to the universe, and have found reading the positive thoughts of others to be pure gold! Inspiration is the very best start of the day. Lee, thankyou for all of your time and efforts xxx
In response to Judiann’s comment: Hi Judiann! Thanks for your kind comments!
I am always online, I spend all day every day working on bmindful, although it is usually in the admin section sending emails or composing articles.
It’s great to see another Aussie on bmindful! I’d love to hear more about your book!
In response to Judiann’s comment: I’ve just sent you an email so we can have a quick chat :)
In response to Lee Nutter’s comment: Thanks Lee, I took your advice, bought extra whatsits for the internet, and things have sped up and I’m on the move again!
In response to Pearl’s comment: Thanks for the kind comments Pearl! :)
In response to Judiann’s comment: No problems Judiann, I had to do the same!
In response to thoughtless’s comment: thanks for the comments :)
Hey there!
Glad I found this site! I can see myself spending alot of websurfing time here instead of the online poker sites I know. I watched the wealth affirmation vid. It was really good. I loved the music. It had a get up and get moving feel to it. I’m looking forward to growing into the real me, with the help of this site! :)
Hi Lee,
I’m Maria and I’m from Australia too! I’m new to the community, I absolutely love what you’ve done here. Reading through the affirmations is great and I’m constantly adding new ones to my profile. I’ve added a few of my own too. It’s awesome there’s a few people from Australia on here. You have done an awesome job of setting up this site, you must be so proud.
Thanks for the opportunity to be on here and share with others. Also, it’s great I can put my link to my website on my profile too. I work with a company in the personal development industry and I work with a group of like-minded individuals and we help others to achieve their personal and financial goals. Maybe there will be people in this community who are interested in the awesome opportunity I have. So thanks for letting me share.
Anyway, just thought I’d say ‘hi’ and introduce myself. Congrats again on your awesome achievement. I hope to hear from you soon and get to know some people on here. I’ve been introducing myself to people so hopefully they’ll check out my profile and start adding messages!
Have an awesome weekend Lee!
Maria
In response to millionairemaria’s comment: Hi Maria,
Thanks for the thoughtful comment and kind words! I’ve had a quick look at your web page too, it looks great!
If you do a search for Australia on bmindful then you’ll find a few Australians (these are only those that have used the word ‘Australia’ in their location or profile)
Anyway, I’m going to get back to work, but keep in touch!
In response to millionairemaria’s comment: It is something I’ve thought about :) I’ve got something in the works that will hopefully help with this, i’ll get it out as soon as I can :)
Thank you, Lee, for creating this wonderful community! I already feel right at home. By the way, I left kind of a really really long comment about one of my affirmations, because the story behind it was too awesome not to share. I am so glad I’ve found somewhere to share these and learn more. Thanks again!
—Kris
In response to Kris’s comment: Hi Kris, thanks for the kind words!
The affirmation you’re referring to is something we all need to keep in mind, I imagine it will be a popular affirmation! Your story is powerful and moving, thank you for sharing your experiences!
In response to dr zarana’s comment: Hi friend, thanks for your kind comments! Happy new year, 2008 is going to be the best year yet!
Lee, I wanted to let you and your partner know - personally - that I am awed and grateful for your website. What a fabulous idea and I can see the love and hard work you have put into it. This is such a beautiful gift to the world that you have shared with us and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it. MM
Lee thank you for opening this site. Living in Austraila wow I have a old friend that moved there 15 yrs ago but have lost track of her, but remember she said it was a beautiful country to live in. Some day I hope. I have never traveled over seas one of my dreams to do. Again thank you and have a wonderful life.
HI Lee! Complimenting you and Mel always for this amazing site, so many new members coming through which is awesome! I have a thought which I was wondering if you are able to answer for me and that is how many people on a average a day join up Bmindful? It blows me away that so many people are making a positive changes in their lives and what to live in a world full of peace and love.
Sending many positive thoughts Dee
Hi Dee, thanks for your kind comments :)
The number of new bmindfulers per day is TOP SECRET!
Just kidding :)
It varies, some days just one or two, the best day this month was 27. I’m always working on ways to make it easier to sign up, getting more traffic and offering more value to encourage people to join the community so hopefully that number will continue to grow and grow.
I also encourage bmindful members to let their friends know about bmindful and how much they are getting out of it :)
Hi Laurie,
It’s all based on the search engines, I get a decent amount of traffic through my search engine optimization so it’s just a matter of making people aware of whats available and making it as easy as possible to sign up.
Aside from that I talk to other web site owners from time to time, I occasionally pay for advertising on other sites and on Google and I people enjoy bmindful I encourage them to link back to me from their web pages.
As far as getting existing members back to the site, I send out the newsletter every so often and if you’ve got the option checked you get emailed when someone comments on your profile. I’m also encouraging people to follow me on twitter so that they get notified when I talk about bmindful.
If anyone has any ideas on how the community could be made better or grown quicker I’m always open to suggestions though!
In response to Lee Nutter’s comment:
oh lol, you got me thinking there for a minute lol. I thought the question I asked was a little cheeky thou thought I would ask sheeplessly lol. Thankyou for enlightening me, it is comforting to hear that every day someone is wanting to make positive changes and join Bmindful, even if it one, two or more a day, it is still great. When we are on forums I notice we have visitors checking out the site, on some days I saw 10, I think it is awesome. Maybe we should do a forum thread to encourage the visitors? That might work too.
In response to Lee Nutter’s comment:
If you could somehow connect with sites such as: World’s Healthiest Foods
or
Whole Foods
or
Debra Lynn Dadd (queen of green)
Those are sites where the visitors are interested in the best of the best. Isn’t that what are affirmations are all about?
While online businesses are not in my area of expertise yet:), how about sending a newsletter to just past members who have stopped visiting. You have thousands!
Tell them what has changed. Allow them to experience somehow, what premium members get. And allow them to simply experience the non-premium member features that didn’t exist when they passed by before.
I’m not sure how this is done, but I’ve seen where sites who wanted you to purchase something or try something, gave you a temporary interactive type screen.
I mean, you have the bold affirmations that come up randomly that can go in their toolbar; which is what I do. It’s fantastic—powerful way to start a brand new day, or brand new moment.
You have a search engine for affirmations. That sounds good, But it’s better than it sounds. The look and ease is phenomenal!
Past members will be a lot easier to market to. They knew it was a good idea once. Let them know you have surpassed a place to simply store your affirmations. You have engineered an area where all is possible with good thoughts. Just an idea:)
Hi Laurie,
I actually do send out email newsletters! As your already an upgraded member you only get the informational ones, but these should come at least once every month.
This month was really busy with newsletters, I’ve sent out three. The ones you should have got were “Higher Affirmations: The Heart Moment”, then “Boost your productivity by 20%” and the last was “New bmindful Premium Member Features”.
The connecting with other sites is a fantastic idea that I haven’t yet fully explored! I’m actually in discussions with some people now about cross promotions and the like so hopefully something will come of it!
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Hi Vivi, thanks for your comments :) I think you’re the first person who has mentioned the titles! They always just come to me, I never have to spend much time thinking about it, and am proud that I’ve named every one of them to date :)
I haven’t taken the camera out in months now, I’ll have to get back into it! Looking back through my photos reminds me why I started taking them in the first place.
Photography is a great way to appreciate where you are (physically) which puts you in a great place (mentally)
In response to cassan’s comment: Don’t think it came from bmindful! Unless you were browsing one of the music threads :)
In response to Pure Essence’s comment: No Problems Dee, glad I could help :)
In response to Pure Essence’s comment: In response to themadcookieman’s comment:
Thank you both so much for your kind words!
Hi Lee,
Many thanks for creating a site that not only gets you channelling your energy correctly during the day, but give hope and encouragement through other people’s postings. I have come across some inspiring people - you included, that offer wonderful ‘bits’ that just brighten up my day and get me on track. I cant get enough! Well done you! Wishing you good fortune, good health and God’s Blessings. Anoushka
In response to anoushka_f’s comment: Hi Anoushka! Thank you for your kind comments, it’s great to have you here!
Hi Lee
Hope you’re taking some more great photos, I’ll have to go to Flickr and check up on you. Here’s some of “mine”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/20694825@N04/ though I’m just a point-&-click-chick and the only reason anything looks good is that I’m spoilt with lovely scenery around me.
Have a great day
Vivi
In response to Lee Nutter’s comment: Thanks for commenting on my humble shots when I see you’re a v. good photographer and have approx 9,500 friends on BMindful - way to go!
In response to meditatingmama’s comment: Thanks Mary! :) Mel took it yesterday whilst we waited for a bus in the freezing cold! (Hence the hood) thought it would make a nice avatar though :)
Good morning Lee….there is a reason why I found your site…not a coincidence…I have been feeling lost and anxious about several incidences that have occurred my life and family’s life…my son has a difficult situation to overcome…I have been looking for a job for the past 7 months…and my relationship with my boyfriend has turned sour…he has not returned any of my calls…What affirmations do you suggest for a positive change for us…..Rosey
Hi Rosey, welcome to bmindful!
I’ve responded to your question on your profile but so far it looks like you’ve already created some excellent affirmations so you’re well on your way :)
Dear Lee, I love being on bmindful. I love it bcoz it gives me a platform to share my views and read other’s on so many different issues. I get the feeling that what I am feeling is not an isolated case, the world out there feels the same on so many subjects. Its so comforting to realise this! Being a part of this site has made a world of difference to me in this little time. It has given me the courage to look at things differently, it has shown me the true power of affirmation, it has helped me to feel normal and accepted. I am soooo grateful to everyone for listening to me, and without judgment, encouraging me, in a way accepting me without knowing how i look, what is my social status and how i can get things done for others, whether i am rich or poor… the very fact that acceptance is for what i am and not who i am is so very satisfying.
Thanx and let us be there for each other.
Sonia, I’m so glad you’re getting so much out of bmindful! I’m so glad to have you here and I know so many others are too. I really enjoy reading your posts and feel privileged to have you around bmindful. Let us be here for each other - definitely!
Anoushka, lol! A modern day Jesus Christ is a slight exaggeration lol, but I appreciate the praise :) Thank you :) So glad you are enjoying the site also, I love reading your posts too and am so glad to have you on the site!
Hi Rocks,
Thanks :) And welcome to bmindful!
There is something funky going on with the introductions thread, I haven’t been able to diagnose the problem, it seems to happen often, but randomly and I am unable to reproduce the issue. Don’t worry though, you’re not the only one it’s effecting!
The good news is that I’ll have the new bmindful out very soon, which will hopefully fix the problem up :) Keep an eye out, it’ll be here before you know it :)
Hi Lee.
First of all I want to say thanks for creating Bmindful. All the affirmations and good advice will be a big help to me.
I have a quick question…..
When someone download’s their affirmations on an Mp3 player, adds some more later on then downloads again will all of them be downloaded or just the recent ones?
Thanks. :)
Lee,

Hi anoushka, thanks for the message and blessings :)
I’m still around, although really busy with work and study and the so many other things that have my attention right now. I’m enjoying myself though :)
There’s definitely a lot of active new members! The community is growing faster than it ever has. It’s great to see!
Hi Lee, Thanks for the enhanced “forum” options and the longer list of topics. It’s nice to see so much activity in the forums. There’s so much info. to explore. I have personally benefited a lot from other members input and from having this great repository for my affirmations and a place to shout out. Again, thanks! Grateful Jan
Lee, Thank you for your acknowledgment. I am happy to hear that you are continuing your ascension. May I suggest my latest research, “21st Century Jedi: Spiritual Athletes: Spiritual Athletes on the Cosmic Chessboard,” Amazon.com. This is the first time anyone has revealed quantum evidence of God consciousness connecting to human consciousness. This knowledge is creating a quantum leap in human development. Dr. Damon Sprock
Thanks db,
Paul Haller’s Teishos always seem to resonate with me. There’s lots of them at SFZC.org if you’d like to check them out. Thanks too for checking out my blog. I mostly just quote others, but occasionally post something I’ve written, as you’ve found. Thanks for reading along.
Leonard Cohen is an inspiration to me, would be interested in your post on other creatives.
We’re all beginners. As soon as we’re not, we’re missing what’s being offered :)
Hi Lee,
I had joined this forum in the month of January and have enjoyed coming here. I have learned a lot here and I want to thank you for creating such a blessed site. And I’m grateful for being in the company of so many loving people. I appreciate you for giving so much freedom to the members here. People are free to express themselves. Creating affirmations whatever way they want; having the liberty to change display name, editing, deleting and so on. Thank you for not putting restrictions and giving open space to members to share their thoughts and ideas.
Cheers,
Anuradha:)
In response to Lee’s comment: Lee, so nice to see you here. Things may become less than harmonious, but like all things… balance happens as it needs to for all concerned(: I choose to believe that. And believing is where it begins. Hope all is well in your world.
In response to Be Smylee’s comment:
I appreciate your loving thoughts for Lee.
HI LEE,LOTS OF GOOD PEOPLE ON THIS SITE.I,M WRITING BECAUSE I sent I BELIEVE IT WAS $42 AT SOME POINT IN 2010,A FEW DAYS LATER i wasn,t able to access anything on the site.Your explanation was that you had to adjust some security features, and being a person of limited pc experience I FIGURED i was ripped off either intentionally or other wise,because I HAD no problem for months prior to sending the money in.The result was I FORGOT ABOUT THE SITE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS,THEN ONE DAY I decided to log back on,and have had no problem since.Anyway I was thinking if the $21 discount is offered again I can afford to send that in,as I,m currently budgeting my expenses I don,t even have a car.Also I will eventually send in some money on my card,do u think you can assure me I WOULD HAVE an upgraded account,send me an email when you can.
In response to Lee’s comment: Continued success to you Lee with all that interests you. Thank you for all you’ve given. I’m sure you left us in good hands, and much appreciation for EVERYTHING! We have a great community here, and without all of your hard work…and the belief you had in us to express ourselves on a multitude of topics….there would be no bmindful. So…Thomas…a thread is waiting for you…with your name on it….for us to welcome you here.
