Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
We are taking some pause from the normal routine full of articles, as well as from sending the Daily Inspiration, for a while. Marie is still healing from her eye surgery (which her doctor referred to as an invasive surgery) and she needs some time away from computer screens to allow her eyes to heal.
In the meantime, we do have some new articles for you this week. As we add new content in the future, we will send you an update featuring the new articles. I will update the astrology article for our readers each week, and post it to the website. You will be able to access it online on Sundays as usual.
Over the years, we have hand-selected and prepared, for our readers, over 20,000 articles at InnerSelf.com. They are still available online and the various categories will update randomly, so that every day you will have access to "new" content on the home page. Think of it as a random surprise gift for you. These articles are timeless and offer great information, insights, and inspiration.
It has just been Marie and I these last 25 years preparing articles for InnerSelf.com, and Marie 10 years before for the print version. While we have never charged anyone for reading or publishing articles on InnerSelf or received any advertising compensation other than to help cover website expenses, karma has blessed us in other ways.
I hope you will continue to visit InnerSelf.com for your inspiration during our break. We invite you to remain part of our InnerSelf family and tell others about InnerSelf.com for their personal empowerment as well. InnerSelf will still be offering great content even though we will be taking a break from the weekly new edition, as well as from the Daily Inspiration.
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.
Robert B. Jennings, InnerSelf.com
We continue to always wish us all
