I picked up the tag line of “Awakened Beyond A New Earth” on May 14, 2008. It came to me during my last meeting with fellow Oprah fans who had joined together to participate in Oprah’s revolutionary web cast series of Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth. All of us had met for the first time through one of several Albuquerque Oprah Book Club reading groups I had set up to complement the web casts. Several wanted to stay connected beyond the web cast series to continue our spiritual awakenings so I opened a new Meetup group titled “Awakened – Beyond A New Earth”. We agreed it was probably the best way to keep our gatherings organized and encourage others to get involved with our activities in support of Eckhart Tolle’s work and other works by authors and experts Oprah recommends in this realm. Since I started travelling, our group activities have waned. Now that I know I’ll be spending most of my summer in Central Oregon this year, I’ve decided to keep the Meetup group going.
