NOURISH TOGETHER - WEEKLY NEWSLETTER - 6/27/24
Note from Jamie
I like to share things that light me up, fill me with joy, and make my life easier. Nothing is sponsored. These are just things that are helping me along my journey.
I thought you'd enjoy the following excerpt, Trust the Process of Growth, from one of my favorite meditation books, Journey to the Heart by Melody Beattie.
Be patient with yourself. It takes time to work out issues, to work through things. It takes time to learn lessons. The more important the lesson, the longer the cycle to work it out and work it through.
We may live in a technical age, but our souls aren't technical. They're still connected to nature. We grow and change as nature does. Learn her ways. Study her seasons and cycles, and know those same seasons and cycles are in each of us. The process of change is like planting a seed and watching it grow and bloom into a flower.
What are you trying to develop? A project? A change in yourself? Is there something new you're learning, trying to do? Are you trying to adjust to a major change in your life? Is there an old habit you're struggling to let go of? A love relationship or friendship you're hoping to begin or attempting to end?
Each stage of the process of growth and change is important. From those first moments when we see the idea, or the change begins, to those long moments of nurturing and nourishing the idea, each stage counts. Is there a change in your life that's begun, one you've started to notice? Are you thinking about it a lot, talking about it a lot, but not quite ready to take action? That stage is important too. You're nurturing and nourishing the seeds of change.
It takes time for nature to change things into what they're becoming. It takes time for things to develop. Be patient with yourself and life. Trust the process of growth.

Jamie
Inspiration
Nourish Pick of the Week
After a visit to Urgent Care on Sunday for a hang nail gone rogue, I've committed to taking better care of my nails & cuticles.
Our all-natural Nail & Cuticle Roller Blend strengthens & lengthens nails, softens cuticles, brightens discolorations, reduces inflammation, and keeps nails healthy & beautiful.
I'm adding this to my nightly routine. Join me.
Recipe of the Week
My teammate, Beth, shared this week's recipe.
Beth commented, "I was delighted to learn of this healthier option to replace the popular sandwich. If you are pressed for time, a good Thousand Island dressing is a great substitute."
Enjoy!
Live well. Be kind.
Jamie
