Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
This week the newsletter is a "minimal version" of itself. We are on the road from Florida up to Canada and the internet has been less accessible than usual, while the potholes in the road more numerous... all contributing to making "working while on the road" a challenge. Next week, we expect the early-bird to be back on schedule.
Please scroll down for the recap of the articles that were added to the website during the week, as well as the "oldies and goodies".
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, and loving week.
