I say ‘go gently’ quite a lot knowing it’s needed in a world, & my own head, which can have such sharp, inflexible edges. But it requires more than saying. I must practice breathing, slowing, noticing, choosing differently & connecting with ppl who also value #softening Go well😊

This👇🏼& the power of the human spirit to not just keep going, but to nourish the soil with pain & help each other grow with tears! In this #softening & vulnerability #together we can create conditions where our wounds can help #heal not harm! #Courage #Connections #Transformation

I end this week so #grateful for #softening in my life. For the respect, generosity & compassion I’ve repeatedly been shown. Feeling valued. For knowing I’m loved & those who willingly witness & hold space for my grief & shame. Unafraid. The armour dismantling is a precious #gift

#MondayReflection
As I begin another week I’m keenly aware of how my own resistance adds to my suffering. Leaning gently into, #softening, allowing more flexibility … opens #space to accept many things exist together in the #rhythms of life! And remembering I don’t walk alone!

#SundayReflection
So much #gratitude for a time of work, healing, companionship & #reflection on the Isle of Lewis. Remembering what was never forgotten & #softening into that infinite, undefinable space of learning & growth! The #earth in all it’s magnificence💙 #InterConnected

#ThursdayThoughts
I know when I’m hurting or unsure or wrestling with injustices ... in the midst of changes ... my armour can thicken. Yet I know this is false ‘protection’. Leaning in, #softening, is where #transformation & #quiet unfurls💙
