Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
New format changes on InnerSelf.com: This week we made a few changes. The biggest change is that at the end of each article we added an infinite scroll function that allows you to quickly scroll through all the articles in one of the three information sections: Personal Empowerment, Living In Harmony, and Social Consciousness. While admiring my handiwork this morning, I became enthralled by what was there. Many of the articles I had simply forgotten about, and I need to go back and read them again.
For those that are new to InnerSelf, or perhaps have forgotten, InnerSelf has over 20,000 hand-picked quality articles. I spent over 15 minutes scrolling through the articles in Living In Harmony and never did get to the end. Thus... infinite scroll? We'd love to get your feedback. Click here to tell us. We also are very interested in your feedback on any issue that concerns you, whether it be technical or topics or issues you would like us to cover. - Robert Jennings, InnerSelf.com
The words "I am grateful" are a powerful mantra and healing balm. Even in the midst of a stressful life, we have so much to be grateful for. I am grateful for all the authors who share their insights and wisdom with us through their articles, books, videos, etc. I am also grateful for the readers of InnerSelf who appreciate the content we offer, and who share it with others either through their words, their thoughts, or their actions.
We are all connected, so the more gratitude we feel and express... for others, for the planet, for our own ability to grow and love more and more...the more our world will become a better place for all. Being grateful for every little thing, and every person in our life, is a great energy to carry with us and radiate out to others. Thank you for being here, and thank you for being You. - Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com
