Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.

Resilience is a trait that is needed in life. The capability to bounce back and rise up from adversity, from illness, and from sorrow and despair. As life brings us challenges, our resilience is what gets us through and allows us to start over with hope and trust in the future.

No matter the challenge, there is always a way through or around it and we get to continue on our life's journey. This week our featured articles look at various aspects and types of resilience. And of course we have numerous additional articles on a variety of topics with insights, inspiration, and information for your reading pleasure.

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.
