I believe that as women we are nurturers by nature. We nurture everybody else and forget that we need to nurture ourselves as well. Why do we feel guilty? I don't know. But I do know that it is absolutely necessary for joy, peace, and that zest for life. We deplete ourselves until there is nothing left and then we can't help anyone anymore. This is so absolutely necessary. Pride has two meanings. One is destructive and one is nourishing to the spirit and the mind. I think we can encourage each other to do that in whatever way works for us. I went snowboarding Saturday, that is nourishing to me. It was hard to do but it made such a difference. I love to scrapbook, but don't take the time for it anymore. I love to write. That is the way that I paint. I do it with words. LETS DO IT!
