Nurture

     This past week's word of the week was Nurture.  I chose this word initially because I felt that it was something everyone could benefit from focusing on.  Nothing in your life will flourish if you don't take time to nurture those things that are important to you.

At the beginning of this week I wasn't feeling to healthy and half way through the week my moon cycle came on so first and foremost I had to take time to nurture my self physically with herbs and proper food.  Also rest was an issue so I mad it my duty to make sure that no matter what I got enough rest.  Thankfully this did not hinder any of the other aspects in my life.
The next important thing in my life I decided to nurture was my relationship with my boyfriend.  It seemed that we needed to work on effectively communicating with one another and I was amazed to find that simply the motivation to be great on both our parts was enough to steer us int he right direction.  Even, when we annoyed each other, we talked it out and re-assured each other that we were here for the long haul.  The thing about development is that ground always have to plowed and roots have to be uprooted... you don't look at the untoiled soil and say that you can't nurture the unborn potential (seed).
This week I also discovered the benefits of nurturing my business as well as my music skills.  I created another song this week... so I'm now averaging 1song/week.  I also am no twice as good on the guitar as I was. and all around in general life is better when I take the time to nurture the different areas of my life.
Neglect only births disarray.
