Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
The power within us resides in our heart and our intuition. We are all powerful beings and the articles this week guide us to connect with our inner power and create a world that we can all be proud of.
We all start off each week, and each day, with our individual aspirations, hopes, and dreams... and then we do the best we can to attain those goals, while hopefully keeping the hopes and dreams of others in our heart as well. Perhaps we can be guided by this quote from Pam Younghans' weekly astrological column:
"...our faith and trust (or lack of them) are key to our successful navigation of these times. We are each called not only to become proactive and outwardly courageous, but to increase our spiritual strength as a foundation for any work we do in the world."
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, and loving week.

Introduction to My Mother's Philosophical Stance: Learn, Love, Make A Difference
Written by Megan Carnarius, RN, NHA, LMT.
