Today, I have gentleness on my mind. In my life, my gentleness has been criticized. I've been told that I am "too soft", and not effective in my efforts because of it. In the face of recent current events, where I watched someone be bullied in front of the entire world, I've been thinking about the great power, and gift that gentleness actually is. Gentleness, kindness and concern for others is, in fact, a superpower. We can choose to be kind. We can choose to uplift. Self-care and kindness are crucial to me right now--and I'm going to say to all of us. Self-love means that when we see things that hurt the core of who we are, we act in such a way that we create a force counter to it. Kindness for myself means I have kindness to give to others. A wave of kindness is a force to be reckoned with. We will care for each other with open hearts. We will do what we can to uplift and support each other--this is the counter-effect. When we see cruelty, we conduct kindness. Love yourself first, then love others.
