Nurture as a part of Nature

Anyone can provide shelter, food and clothing. Anyone can transport a child to school and back. Anyone can bathe, brush teeth and moisturize the skin daily. But it takes a truly special one, to nurture. By definition Nurture means: "The act of nourishing or nursing; tender care; education; training; The environmental influences that contribute to the development of an individual;" [wikipedia]

I'm honoured that God has blessed my womb with not one, but three human beings, three more persons to shape society, who can and will alter the future, pave the way for others who'll come after them.

I teach Shylah that she's special, unique. I encourage her to dream big, aim above the skies, so that she'll land among the clouds. This gives her courage to try new things, allows her to be exposed to many other opportunities because she won't be afraid to step up or branch out. I praise her everyday, tell her she's pretty, she's super-intelligent. This builds her confidence and SELF ESTEEM. A man/boy would have to bring his A+ game to catch her eye. He would have to be outta-dis-world to garner and keep her attentions and that's the kinda man I want for them, [cause Angelique will grow similarly.] The BEST there is.


And my son will be one of the BEST there is. Shame to say, I was more excited about GJ's birth than any of my girls. I have the opportunity to affect so many more lives through my son than my daughters. He WILL be the ladies' gentle-man. Sweet, suave, kind, patient, and chivalrous. He will touch each girl's life and teach them, they DON'T have to settle. They only have to set standards and keep them. I already see where girls will ask him continually, "man like you still make?" Oh boy oh boy oh boy I can't wait!
