The work of paying compassionate attention is, in a sense, learning to steward for ourselves what God already believes about us—that we’re valuable and loved.

The key to mindfulness is that we hold the things we observe with a posture of nonjudgmental awareness, simply noticing what is in our awareness rather than reacting to it.

“Oh hey there, beautiful human who is doing hard things in the world.

🌿

I see you making difficult decisions + leaning hard into the reality that you’re valuable even when the world keeps asking you to prove it.

🌿

I see you taking teeny leaps of faith that turn into big change over time.

🌿

I see you practicing compassion even though sometimes it feels like slogging through mud.

🌿

I see you trying again.

🌿

I see you practicing curiosity and leaning into wonder.

🌿

I see you—and it is breathtaking.

This post was inspired by the many, many brave folks who have shared how they’ve grown and changed as they try softer. What an honor to know even a slice of their story. #trysofter”

The process of blooming is as valuable as the flower it produces.

Because no matter how hard we try, we can’t hate or shame ourselves into change. Only love can move us toward true growth.

...beauty is an invitation and a resource to each of us. When we hunt for beauty, we learn to pay attention. We keep our eyes open for goodness and for cracks of light.

We are made for relationship—not just with others but also with ourselves.
