Listen to myself without judging, be present with myself to be present with others. A fitting post for this era of digital turmoil and hyperconnectivity.
The irony’s gentle, but sharp: a post about listening that makes you feel heard.
This one doesn’t try to sell stillness as a productivity hack. It honors listening as a full-body skill—something you practice like stretching, not just perform to be polite. There’s a kind of emotional athleticism to it. Humility in the muscles.
Loved the way it pointed out how real listening feels like disappearing a little. Not losing yourself, but softening the boundaries. Letting someone else’s world in without needing to fix or comment or win.
It’s the kind of reminder you don’t bookmark so much as absorb. And then later—mid-conversation, mid-interruption—you feel it tap your shoulder: wait… just stay with them.
This is beautifully said—and so timely. Neuroscience tells us that true listening activates the same regions in the brain as empathy and emotional regulation. In a world wired for reaction, slowing down to truly receive—whether it’s another person, life itself, or our own intuition—is a radical act of presence.
I often write about this on A Little Bit Kinder—how deep listening isn’t about having the right words, but about creating enough space for the truth to land. Thank you for reminding us that silence isn’t emptiness—it’s where the most meaningful things finally have room to speak. 🌿🧠💛
This was beautifully written and so very true. As a culture, we have lost the art of listening.
Ah…
I hear you.
Petals. Flowers.
Hanging out around the house in spring.
Chatting with the other ladies as the birds chirp and the sunshine on your face brightens your mood.
The reminder of your child at your breast, close, comforting.
All for them, if not you own, for the other wives in your garden.
The eternal cycle of life is all its harmony and beauty, so close, gently wrapping around your shoulders.
Women.
Home.
At work, it can be so hard. Especially when they Dont talk they preach
Shift the balance from the outer world to the inner, learn to live from inside yourself, there is a balance there, a space you can hold

Thank you for this ~ listening is some of the best soul medicine we can offer ourselves & others ❤️
So so true. To learn to listen. Quite helpful indeed.

I love this! Such a wonderful reminder. Thank you!
“Listening isn’t about waiting to talk. It’s about making space for someone else’s world.”
Sometimes you learn the most when you’re quiet.
I want to learn that so bad, when you listen, you learn, you see, you know and you feel: the sigh or the shaku voice, tue hypocrisy, the absurdity

Here’s to making the world A Little Bit Kinder.
Wonderfully written and thought provoking. Thank you.
Beautiful, true. ❤
Yes. So important. So sacred. Ordinary and yet has become extraordinary. This was exactly what I needed to hear today. I am listening.
I am you, you are me. We.
Will be Black.
Not ok with that.
