Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
As much as we may, at times, feel overwhelmed in the face of the forces that we are confronted with, we are not powerless. If we stand alone in the storm, we can get blown over, but when we are linked with numerous others, we become stronger. Our power is reinforced by connecting with others, reading and listening to material that empowers us, and getting in touch with our own innate power and clarity.
This week's articles help you to connect with your inner power and also recognize the power and tools that surround you. It is important to remember that it is darkest just before the dawn. So here we are... when so much looks dark, yet we must remember that the light is always present, even if we don't see it. EWe must focus on the possibilities, and contribute to their manifestation. That is our role. We are not bystanders. We are participants and we are power-full.
