A word or two about Nurturers

Teachers are a special family for certain. 
The opportunity to support, nurture and empower those around them would seem to define their purpose. 
Enormous hearts overflowing with love cultivating future generations, teachers have a unique and special gift. 
No matter what is being taught, it is a powerful offering; an act of giving.  The concept of balance needs occupy space within the life of 'the giving soul'. 
 At a time when a need for direction is so evident, these 'bright lights' shine brighter with the intent of reaching as many people as possible. 
The danger facing the nurturer is in giving so much that a type of 'spirit malnutrition' can occur.
It is vital to provide oneself a compassionate sanctuary to rest, feed and love within. 
Instinctively, those born to lead, inform and care for others do so tirelessly.  Demand a portion of your love to be yours. 
Allowing joy in your own life will ensure that your heart remain strong, and that the hands to which that heart speaks  will be around to offer support for ages to come. 
Caring for countless souls demands we start by loving just one; our own.  I do not share these words from a place of mastery but rather from membership of a large number of souls seeking balance.
