Nurture the Source

Nurture the Source

At Lillunia, we believe all of the system of life on the planet begins with nurturing (from food, to love, to education, to play). We believe in nurturing our families and our animals, the people and animals with whom we share the earth and nurturing the larger environment that nurtures us all.

Do take time, however, to nurture the source: YOU. What does this look like? Well, it does not have to mean the "me me me"-centric version of "personal time" of the last 2 decades. There are ways to nurture yourself that allow you to remain YOU to your and to everyone else who needs you.

We just want to remind you that you too are a part of the big system we all share- if you spend all your time giving to everyone and everything else you will be 1) exhausted, and 2) lose the beautiful and independent you that is doing all the giving. So-simply - take care of yourself. Don't forget to sleep a bit later- perhaps take a long bath in the evening- buy a really nice bottle of wine- and/or dinner at your favorite place (for no particular reason).

So much is expected of us these days- jobs, families, second careers, hobbies, animals, charities, parents etc. - we must have the energy to handle it all or we will begin to resent. No good.

Keep doing what you do- there is a lot of work for us all in these endlessly changing times, and that is alright. We do it all and will continue to rise to the challenges, and continue to nurture our little ones, our spouses and partners and our shared environment.

Take a deep breath- we are all in it together...and that is awesome!
