Also, Soft

An additional word for this year: softer.

A group of women gathered this weekend to celebrate my mum. They said a lot of wise things, and many will linger. But Nanny's words, that she wished she had been softer with her people and with her sweet self... that has lodged itself in my heart, and I find myself meditation on it these many hours later.

Yoga is a practice that asks for strength and softness to work together.

Softer. Stronger. That is what this year is going to require of me.

May it be so.

Those were good words about softness. Thank you for the reminder. And for the way you've expressed how they're sitting with you.
