I experienced a significant loss this week and have been working through my feelings since then. I come back to my core values today f kindness, rest, and integrity. Thanks for this, it’s timely.
Softness isn’t surrender. It’s defiance in velvet form.
In a world that shouts “perform or perish,” choosing tenderness is an act of holy rebellion.
I’ve armored up so long I forgot what it felt like to breathe without bracing. This reminded me that gentleness isn’t naïve—it’s brave enough to stay open when everything screams “shut down.”

In this realm, solitude is worth yearning for.
Spot on❗️

This was a read that came right on time ❤️
“I have come to a place,
and to a time.
Where I care deeply.
Deeply enough,
to let most things be.”

Excellent. Thank you 😊
And don’t we wish for and love gentle softness against our skin.
Yes! Be like water, hard in its repeated softness. Love this whole reflection on the strength of softness!
