Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your Inner Self. Events can often shake our world and leave us wondering what direction to take... whether it is personal events or world events. Our intention and our vision will lead us to take the steps that are the steps that are the right ones for us. This week we may need to be reminded of many things... Sarah Love McCoy tells us: You Are Awesome and The World Needs Your Awesome!, while Janette Hillis-Jaffe introduces us to The Healing Benefits of Tears, Laughter, and Listening Partnerships. Shavasti reminds us of the importance of Healing our World: One Individual, One Family, One Nation at a Time. (scroll down for many more articles below) While we may feel powerless at times, we always have power over our thoughts and our words and the energy we put out into the world (sometimes after the fact). It is important to keep our focus on a higher perspective. Many years ago, a friend used to say "Love is all there is". At the time, this statement would "rub me the wrong way" because I saw so many things in the world that weren't love. Yet, now, I think I understand what he meant. Love is all there is, because everything else is simply the absence of love: i.e. fear, hatred, anger, resentment, violence... These emotions that are lacking in love are constructs of our mind, of our ego, or our perceptions, of our fears.
The only thing that can help us heal the convoluted life we are experiencing on this planet is to always ask "What would Love do?" We would be well served to remember that everything that is unlike love is a call for help, for understanding, for healing, for justice, for balance, and for compassion. None of that makes unloving behaviors right, but it emphasizes that to heal our world we can only do so with compassion, with empathy, and with love. The old testament teachings of an eye for an eye are just that: old teachings. In this new era, we are learning to live from the teachings of unconditional love, of forgiveness, and finding the way to right old wrongs. Two wrongs never make a right. We need to delve into the cause of imbalances and injustices, and find ways to make things right... not just for ourselves, not just for our families and neighbors, but for every living soul on the planet. Wishing you peaceful insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, and loving week. Marie T. Russell Friendly Reminders: * Please use this Amazon link if you shop at Amazon.

What we’re being called to do as a species before we either destroy ourselves or most of life on our planet is to meet ourselves fully. We must have the courage to meet our own prejudices and encounter every single place within us that would rather resort to blame than to face the collective human pain body.
Everyone has their own unique awesomeness. You just have to find out what yours is and be authentic and everything in life will fall into place, right? I've been hearing that one for years too. And let me tell you, it can feel frustrating as all heck to wonder "What is MY awesome?".
It's a sign of the times that so many people are careless in money matters. Nearly half of today's workers live paycheck to paycheck. Even many earning six-figure salaries have nothing left over at the end of each month. Saving for retirement is considered unfashionable.
There is clearly a Mind-Body Connection and when you start to feel something coming on always visualize yourself as being healthy, strong, and confident. Imagine yourself feeling good when you suddenly realize that you are being challenged. I always carry an “Emergency Kit” when I travel and...
We hold in our mind all kinds of old fears and feelings that we’ve had since childhood, some of which we are only dimly aware. The problem is that the reptilian and mammalian parts of our brains respond strongly to those old feelings, as if they were current realities. We need to work on acknowledging those outdated feelings and fears and avoid being triggered...
