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.

What should be an easy and natural thing to us isn't. You have used words brilliantly to open , direct and foster thought on it. Beautifully written Katie

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
