Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
We have fewer articles this week since we had the visit of two hurricanes in the past week... Hurricane Fiona in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia at our cottage in Canada where we spend the summer and fall, and the other, Hurricane Ian, at our home in Florida, which we experienced virtually.
We were blessed to have experienced very little damage even though the eye was headed our way until the last minute, in both locations. I wish everyone in both Maritime Canada and Florida could say the same. Many are experiencing, and will experience, severe challenges due to the powerful nature of these two hurricanes (Fiona and Ian). For another perspective on hurricanes, we republished an article that was written almost 20 years ago about working with hurricanes (see articles below).
Hurricane Fiona in Canada was the most powerful to reach landfall and Ian in Florida was one of the most powerful and damaging in Florida history. It is becoming increasingly clear, be it wildfires, droughts, hurricanes, or floods, they have become more intense and damaging worldwide.
We must all come together to insure that all governments respond to our changing climate. Just recently 1/3 of Pakistan, was flooded due to heavy monsoon rains that were added to the already full rivers from melting glaciers. Even now, they are still being seriously challenged by the consequences of such a catastrophe.
While we have fewer articles this week, the articles we bring you are inspiring, empowering, and thought-provoking. Also, since we were preoccupied with survival issues for the past week, we did not write any "Inspiration for the day" or any "Uptakes" at all during that time. We did however add a few videos to YouTube from article/videos that were done last year but had not been uploaded there. See below for the info on those videos. We haven't been creating any new videos in the past few months, due to time restrictions, but we have many that are in the archives. We will continue to add them to our YouTube channel. Please subscribe to it here.
Scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the website this week.

The Real Source Of America's Budget Woes
Alan Austin
Americans seeking wisdom about the state of their economy will gain little insight from mainstream economics writers. They are like detectives called to investigate an assault.
