Belief fuels our decisions - even when we are not clearly aware of those beliefs.

Nurturing is not complex. It's simply being tuned in to the thing or person before you and offering small gestures toward what it needs at that time.

At the end of a matter ask, "What will I learn from this to make me better?"

Extend your hand with the strongest reach.

I will move with the wind.

Speak quietly to yourself and promise there will be better days. Whisper gently to yourself and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort. Console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes. Offer comfort in practical and tangible ways - as if you were encouraging your dearest friend. Recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. Tomorrow comes more brightly.

In the garden of your days cultivate festivity, play and celebrations.
