Do Your Eyes Light Up?
NHA News
I rarely watch talk shows, really never, but for some reason, I happened to be watching Oprah the day she interviewed Nate Berkus in 2013. A portion of the interview was so impactful that I tracked it down on YouTube and saved the link so that I always had it to refer back to. Sidenote: This was several years before I was introduced to Nurtured Heart.
I happened across the video link a few days ago and have watched it over and over and over again. I have dissected it frame by frame and sentence by sentence. It truly encapsulates what is at the heart of Nurtured Heart from profound noticing to the awkward “thank you” when people are profoundly recognized-
Some highlights:
“Do your eyes light up when I enter the room” (3:54)
“Do I matter?” (3:57)
“What every human being wants is for you to just SEE us. Not just for who we are, but for the BEST that we can be” (4:08)
“The first time it ever happened, I didn’t know what to do with that level of energy. It was really hard to receive at that moment” (4:21)
The entire 5 minutes could really be the foundation to the recognition section of the NHA presentation, but if you can’t invest that much time, the section that aligns with what Karla and I have been sharing each week begins at 2:40. Enjoy.

Challenge for the week: Make sure your child see your eyes light up when they walk in the room.
