Our InnerSelf wlcomes your inner self.

The word community is defined as a group of people with a common location or interest. Since we are all inhabitants of the same planet, then we are all in ONE community: Planet Earth. This week we look at different levels of community... workplace, ancestors, our body, and the world... What are our roles as members of these communities?

No man is an island, and no matter what race, political party, gender, religion, etc. that a person is, that person is still part of many communnities as well as the community of life on Earth. We are all in this together! And, individually, we make a difference, one by one.
