This has been a quiet and restful week for me. Consistent with giving myself permission to be, as set forth in my 2026 New Year’s Resolution post, I’ve decided to treat myself to an “Allowed” list for this week’s Nurturing Thursday, as a helpful little reminder.

Nurturing Thursday was started by Becca Givens and seeks to encourage self-nurturing and to “give the planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy.”
