A Nurturing Spirit

“A Nurturing Heart”

by Kim Dreyer

For your consideration……

No matter how independent or old we are, we each require nurturing. We can forget that sometimes. And it is easy to forget that all things need nurturing. We are all, at the same time, in need of giving and receiving the support, love and care of all other living things……nurturing.

The Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Those words of wisdom are about having a nurturing spirit. As in all energy, the more we give the more we receive.

How do we become good nurturers? It is all about the intention. It is all about the HOPE and love we put into our thoughts, words and actions or deeds.

This message originally came in as taking care of plants and expanded from there. We often joke about people who talk to their plants. But the reality is that the nurturing spirit is reality. It does help the plant. The same goes with taking care of our pets, landscaping etc. It is the intention of the energy we put into our walks around our neighborhood, through the woods or along the beach.

We have the opportunity to nurture everything, not just our children, spouse, friends and family etc. And in turn we will be nurtured by everything. Today we are being asked to expand our awareness and be generous with the smiles, HOPEs, blessings and love that come from our nurturing intentions.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…….

-Meditate/pray and know your true self.

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths. Inhale your gratitude and exhale your blessings for the Universe.

-Go play.

What made me smile yesterday……

-Ahead of the game, shopping and errands done.

-An absolutely beautiful afternoon.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
