Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
Our life, each day, is basically a blank page of paper. Whatever was written yesterday, or before, is another page, one that can no longer be changed. However, every morning we are presented with a blank page... a new page in the story of our life. This is such a great power, a great opportunity. We get to choose what will appear on our page... what emotions, what thoughts, what actions will be written on the page of our life today.
This week, we bring you articles to assist you in your choices... Our authors share their experiences, their perspectives, their knowledge and insights, in order to help you choose how you will fill the pages of your life story... today and every day.
Scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the InnerSelf.com website this week.
We have many new videos this week for your enjoyment. 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.
