Biography
Valerie Rickel is the founder and creator of SoulfulLiving.com, a highly publicized and popular internet community and award-winning web magazine. Born into a family of artists, Valerie was educated at UCLA and combines her background in psychology, her keen eye for exquisite design and detail, and over a decade of marketing and public relations experience into all her ventures. An artist, writer, web developer, marketing consultant, and visionary entrepreneur, Valerie is known by the business moniker, The Creative Soul®.
Valerie was deeply touched and inspired by her father, an artist and philosopher, and in his wisdom, creativity, and spirituality, she found the seed for both her web site and a series of Soulful Living® books. The passing of her father and mother and the traumatic events of 9/11 all proved to be catalyzing events from which were born Valerie's passionate interest in soulful living and her intense search for life's meaning. Deeply committed to the opportunities her web site and books have opened to her, Valerie's mission is to share her passion for soulful living and inspire and enhance the lives of others.
Entering its sixth year on the World Wide Web, SoulfulLiving.com has won accolades from the media and has been featured in numerous print publications, including Health and Fitness Magazine, Health magazine, The Los Angeles Business Journal, and Gospel Today magazine. As Meg Sanders, author of the book, The Good Web Guide to Mind, Body & Spirit, writes, "As soon as the homepage appears, you know you're in the hands of professionals…. Elegant, erudite, ambitious and sincere, this site sets the standard, but we've seen few others that even come close."
