A Letter full of Beauty

 Hello friends, 

For us here at insidewink, we consider true beauty to be soul beauty.  True beauty is the eternal essence within each of us that notices, elicits and expresses qualities that are life affirming and life enhancing.

Sometimes, when there’s so much apparent discord and strife we all need to take a moment in quietness and become aware of really all the true beauty that we are always surrounded by and that we ourselves emanate.

When we were developing insidewink, we knew that this website was to be an expression of the true beauty that people were sharing from their hearts out into our world.  

When we’re asked, “What is insidewink about?”  We’re quick to respond with the word, namaste. To us, that word demonstrates true beauty and that is what our website set out to communicate via personal stories, charities, good finds, recipes, artists and more…

Since my son Matthew was a little boy we have had a Winnie-The-Pooh plaque hanging in his closet… on that plaque is this lovely poem about Namaste. We are not sure who wrote it but we wanted to share it:

My soul honors your soul.

I honor the place in you where

the entire universe resides.

I honor the light, love, truth,

beauty & peace within you.

because it is also within me.

In sharing these things 

we are united, we are the same, 

we are one. 

Here’s what’s happening on insidewink…

Rachel Marie shares a compelling memory in her story, Finding Acceptance While Growing Up in Black Skin in White Spaces. 

With Summer in full swing try Jean’s delicious appetizer of Summer Tomatoes with Burrata and Basil. 

Cheryl Farrell’s story of imagining your dreams takes us to new lands in Dare to Dream – Not Just a Cliche.

And, of course, more wonderful recipes and personal stories too.

Much love,
Jean & Alison
