Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
We usually think of miracles as wonderful things that happen... either to us or others. They are usually happy occasions, marvelous, fantastic, mind-blowing. But miracles come in many shapes and forms.
This week we shed light on other events in our life that can also turn out to have miraculous end-results... the death of a loved one leading to a connection with the afterlife, a divorce developing into a renewed friendship, a change of perspective and attitude that can change everything.
Miracles can be something that starts out with a sad situation, but ends up as a gift. In my own life I can think of several situations that seemed disastrous when they occured, and that then turned into miraculous scenarios. -- Marie
