Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.

The common saying is that time flies when you're having fun. Well, we must all be having a lot of fun because it does seem as if time is flying by. Even this week's astrological journal speaks of time going by quickly.

Yet through all of this, our goal and our focus is of great importance. No matter how time seems to go by, we still must maintain our intent of being a Loving and Truthful Being and helping birth a more Loving and Truthful World. This needs to remain our vision and active in our heart. No matter what transpires around us, we can choose to remain patient with the people around us, and with ourselves.

Some things happen quickly, and others take more time. "To everything there is a season" and we are in the season of transformation. At times, this is a difficult process yet we must "keep the faith" in a better future, a better world and do everything we can to make this take place.
