What is Nurturing Thursday, you ask?
Think about it … In our amazing but highly competitive and aggressive society:
- How many of us truly feel good about ourselves?
- How often do we extend to ourselves … the same courtesies, considerations, nurturing, forgiveness and understanding we bestow a loved one, a friend, or even a stranger?
With the ongoing intention to accept myself with an open heart rather than label myself as “good” or “bad” OR a “success” or “failure” … I challenge myself, and I challenge YOU to treat ourselves with the same kindness, caring, and compassion we show a good friend. My goal for this year continues with striving and thriving in an atmosphere of self-compassion and self-kindness in my life. What about you?
To “give this planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy” … I dub Thursdays as Nurturing Thursday.
If any of my readers are interested in joining the nurturing, I applaud and welcome you to do so … the more the merrier!!

Yes, even the jerks can teach us something about how to deal better with jerks, or how to avoid them more effectively. Happy Thursday!

I think that depends. I don’t think the man who raped me or my abusive exe– had anything to teach me. In fact I’m still trying to throw off the fear, triggers, anxiety, distrust and panic they taught me. Some things you don’t want to learn. Sexual assault affects you for life. I’ve never been able to establish a loving, giving, supportive relationship with men. They took away my ability to have positive relationships, to trust, to believe and to have faith. Been trying to get back to normal for the last 40 years.
