I lack skills/practice in the arts of nurturing and/or being nurtured. I used to think it was a personality trait you were born with (ha - nature vs NURTURE), but I'm thinking actually it's a skill that a person can develop. Maybe it comes more naturally to some people than to others, but everybody can improve, right?

So, questions:

What does "nurturing" mean to you?

What makes you feel most nurtured?

How would you like best to be nurtured?

In what ways do you like to nurture others? Yourself?

What situations, books, articles, movies, beliefs, epiphanies etc have helped you become more comfortable with being on the giving and/or receiving end of nurturing?
