Our responsibility is to do the inner healing and work to produce a new us in each new year.

Below I have insightful questions you can ask yourself to peel back the layers of patterns that keep you from walking into the new year as a new you. (To create a more in-depth experience, journal your answers to the questions)

1. What repetitive cycles have I carried into each new year?
2. What intentional steps am I willing to take to create change?
3. Who do I desire to become in the next year?
4. What am I willing to let go of (people, places & things) to become an extraordinary version of myself?
5. What one action step can I take today towards my future?

New Direction

Hello Everyone,

The Inspirational Corner has been on hiatus for quite a while and we are still working on our site. However, in spite of the final touches we have to make, I came to a realization that perfection is overrated. Although, we do not have a simplified domain it does not mean we should leave our readers in the dark.

In the process of simplifying our address it is my goal to continue to give you inspiring content that can uplift and empower you daily. In the last eight months, there have been many changes in my life but they all have been helping me evolve into a better writer.

I will keep you updated on the new direction that we will take for The Inspirational Corner Blog.  In the meantime, continue to Live Bold. Live Loud. Live Authentically.

Sincerely,

Stylicia Bowden, Founder of The Inspirational Blog
