So much from the soul-so well written! Thank you, Katie! Softness has a power and strength of its own. In these next four years, we need to embrace and accelerate that.

That was some beautiful, and thoughtful writing. Thank you so very much, I feel a little better about the world now, with this reminder about softness, it’s the same as what the Bible extolled as meekness gentleness, humility…. And much needed today
