Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
Our life is a journey... sometimes we travel physically from one location to another, and at other times our journey involves an up and down of emotions and experiences. Nevertheless, the journey comes with its challenges, its lessons, its joys, and its blessings. And sometimes (most times) a challenge will later on be discovered to have been a blessing, though unrecognized as such at the time.
This week we bring you various journeys... and invite you to travel along with the authors and discover what is waiting there for you. You may discover that the importance lays in the journey itself... not so much the destination. It's how we live (and love) that counts.
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.
