InnerSelf.com welcomes your inner Self.
We live in interesting times, challenging times, powerful times... And it is important that we remain conscious of what is going on, not only in our own personal world, and in our own self, but also in the world that surrounds us.
For many years, many of us have tuned out what was going on "out there" in the world. But, it is our world too. We have a purpose in it. We matter. We make a difference. But to make a positive difference we have to be aware and participate in whatever way we are guided to, in order to sort out the chaos.
I know some people just think that if we ruin our home, our neighborhood, our country, our planet, we can pick up and move... to another country, another planet, or even to "heaven". However, if crises bring opportunity, then opportunities are currently plentiful. See which ones "call to you" and step forward to claim your place in this grand drama of Life on Earth. Read our articles this week for inspiration, information, motivation, and hopefully, additional clarity and empowerment.
Scroll down for the new articles, videos, and audios that were added to the InnerSelf.com website this week. And please visit our YouTube channel for new videos...and subscribe. Thank you.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
...with Peace, Love, Gratitude, and Joy,
