Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
One thing we can be sure about is that, in life, there is always a new path we can take... and perhaps that path is very different than the one we've been on, or that we've even ever considered taking. When we remain open to synchronicities, pay attention to our surroundings, our inner and outer guidance, intuitive flashes, etc., we can discover new directions and new ways to move forward.
This week we share with you different ways for you to step forth into taking responsibility in being the co-creator of your life... We are not helpless victims or innocent bystanders. We are participants in our life and in our world. And more than participants, we are co-creators, directors, producers, and of course the character or role(s) that we have chosen to play. There are many choices we can make, and we get to choose again, each day and each moment.
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.
