ABOUT NURTURING YOUR LIFE TODAY

Welcome to Nurturing Your Life Today.   Our logo is a symbol of a supportive hand with branches of flourishing lives. That supportive hand is who I am.  I am a Wife, Mother, Grand Mother, Great Grandmother, Massage Therapist and landlord offering Affordable Housing to “Nurture” you; so you can flourish. Throughout my life I faced a lot of disappointments, difficulties and challenges but there were several people (I call my Angels) who nurtured and supported me and because of them I survived instead of going out of my mind after moving to a state with no family, going through a divorce, then raising four children alone, going to college full time for the first time after the age of 30 and working graveyard shift.  Nurturing Your Life Today services are offered because I discovered family, bonding, and self care are extremely important and are what really matters in this human experience called life.

When my children were coming up I was a stay at home Mom.  Actually I was a married single Mom in that I was married but he left for work early in the morning before the children were up and he came home late at night after the children were in bed so I had the children and all of the responsibilities.  I thought I was covering all the “good Mother” bases.  I cooked the food, I cleaned the house, I washed and sewed the clothes, I grew the garden, I took care of the dogs, I kept the house clean and I was home but….. I was physically present and emotionally absent at the same time.  Then after 17 years of marriage and no job experience I got divorced and because I did not have work experience and did not make the six figure income their Father made; I was told I could not have my children because I could not provide for them and I was also told I did not amount to anything because I did not have a college degree so to keep my children I hit the ground running. I obtained 1.5 jobs.  They were low paying jobs so I added a full time college load to my already full “to do ” list, all in the name of love and providing and so I could eventually obtain a stable job that paid more money.  I pushed my body so hard I nearly killing myself with lack of sleep, lack of nutrition and lack of self care.  I knew how to work hard; so working hard is what I did but in all of that I missed the most important thing that was needed which was to bond with my children. I didn’t know anything about bonding. I had never experienced it or seen it until I took my first Infant Massage class.  By then my children and even my older grandchildren were adults and I had already lost children both physically and emotionally.  I don’t want that for you so I created this website and pray the services offered on the site are of assistance to you.  I also pray that no one else has to experience life on that level and that your life and your relationships flourishes sooner than mine did and with less losses.
