Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
We are continuing our pause from the normal routine, as well as from creating and sending the Daily Inspiration. Marie is still healing from her eye surgery and it is difficult for her to focus on computer screens while her eyes are healing. Her healing progresses.
In the meantime, I will update the astrology article for our readers each week, and post it to the website. You will be able to access it online on Sundays as usual. Also we are continuing to post new content, but not 40-50 new articles a week. It takes a lot of effort to produce a full weekly magazine with just 2 of us. Granted we don't have to print but it takes nearly as much effort to produce as when InnerSelf was a print-only magazine.
It has just been Marie and I these last 25 years preparing articles for InnerSelf.com, and Marie 10 years before for the print version. While we have never charged anyone for reading or publishing articles online at InnerSelf.com or received any advertising compensation other than to help cover website expenses, karma has blessed us in other ways.
Over the years, we have hand-selected and prepared, for our readers, over 20,000 articles at InnerSelf.com. They are still available online and the various categories will update randomly, so that every day you will have access to "new" content on the home page. Think of it as a random gift surprise for you. These articles are timeless and offer great information, insights, and inspiration.
I hope you will continue to visit InnerSelf.com for your inspiration during our break. We invite you to remain part of our InnerSelf family and tell others about InnerSelf.com for their personal empowerment as well. InnerSelf will still be offering great content even though we will be taking a break from the weekly new edition, as well as from the Daily Inspiration.
Scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the website this week.
Please visit our YouTube channel and subscribe. Thank you.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.

We continue to always wish us all
