SOULFUL LIVING CELEBRATES 25 YEARS WITH SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY ISSUE
Pioneering inspirational website marks a quarter century online with a reflective reunion of alumni authors
New York (December 2025) — SoulfulLiving.com, one of the internet’s early pioneers in personal growth and soulful living, is celebrating its 25th Anniversary with a special commemorative issue honoring the voices, wisdom, and spirit that have shaped the site over the past quarter century.
Founded by Valerie Rickel and launched at the dawn of the new millennium on January 1, 2000, Soulful Living emerged at a time when online resources for inspiration, healing, and personal growth were still rare. Long before social media, blogs, and today’s vast wellness landscape, SoulfulLiving.com offered a heartfelt gathering place for reflection, meaning, and soulful exploration.
The 25th Anniversary Issue reunites a special group of alumni authors whose work has appeared on Soulful Living over the years, offering reflections shaped by experience, perspective, and the passage of time.
A Calling That Became a Community
Soulful Living was born during a period of personal grief, as Rickel searched for comfort and meaning following the loss of her father. Finding few online resources at the time, she felt called to create the kind of space she herself was seeking — one devoted to soulful living, healing, and inner truth.
What began as a deeply personal project soon grew into a globally visited website, featuring thousands of essays on life purpose, mindfulness, relationships, creativity, healing, and spiritual growth. Along the way, Soulful Living has been recognized in books and publications including Health Magazine and the Los Angeles Business Journal, and has been described as “elegant, ambitious, and sincere” by early reviewers.
