Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.

At InnerSelf, we are proponents of listening to our intuition and going with the flow (while also listening to the wisdom and knowledge that our mind can provide). And it is so often interesting to see how this all comes together. One day this week was, unbeknownst to us at the time, International Dog Day. And while we were not aware of this, quite a few of our InnerSelf.com articles this week feature dogs. And that's how things come together when you do what you're inspired to in the moment. I (Marie) find it's always fun to see the outcome that seems like a perfectly orchestrated plan... thus several dog articles "in honor" of International Dog Day though we had no idea it existed.

Of course we have numerous other articles on a variety of topics, always with the goal of assisting you in creating a better life and a better world. We are all in this together, so the more of us are inspired and take action, the more powerful the change will be.

Please share InnerSelf.com articles with your friends via phone, text, etc., as well as on your social media and with your co-workers. The more light and truth shines out into the world, the less darkness there will be. We can all do our part by sharing light with those we come in contact with... through our words and actions, and by sharing the words of others like InnerSelf authors. The time is now for change to take place! Let's do it, together!

Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
