Try Softer gives us hope for a different way.

In a world that tells us that we’d better be crushing it or killing it if we want to make it, Aundi Kolber has a revolutionary approach—trying softer. With grace, wisdom and candor, Try Softer gives us hope for a different way—lives of connection and attention instead of competition and distraction. If you’re weary of trying so hard (who isn’t?) then try softer. You’ll be glad you did.

Such an important quote from @diane.langberg — and Such an important quote from @diane.langberg — and I might add, that it’s not only in churches, but in non-profits, families, parachurch ministries, goverments, NGO’s, the publishing industry, and any systems where we don’t consciously and actively make it safe for survivors to speak up. 
.
As Dr. Jennifer Freyd notes regarding institutional courage: “We must cherish the whistleblowers.” Indeed. 
.
And to the survivors: I honor you. I’m sorry you’ve had to be so strong. ❤️‍🩹
.
May you be surprised by the mystery of healing. 🌿

"Just as I am the Beloved, so is my body. Just as "Just as I am the Beloved, so is my body. Just as my psyche deserves compassionate attention, so does my body. My body is me."🌿

Trauma fragments us. It fragments our ability to be with ourselves; including in our bodies. Yet, we can--at the pace we are able--find the way home. And so if these words from “Try Softer” feel like a resource to you, take what you need. 🫶🏻

As I've finished the edits for my newest book, I'v As I've finished the edits for my newest book, I've said this again & again: "As I shape the book, the book is shaping me." Isn't it wild that sometimes we pour ourselves into something and almost without realizing it we come to understand how it's also shaping us? Oh, the Mystery of creativity and healing. I don't always understand it, but I'm grateful for it. 
. 
In the coming months I can't wait to tell you more about this labor of love, but today, I want to honor the creative alchemy that happens when we are willing to attune to our pain; allowing it to be seen and honored. 
.
Tending our pain & ultimately metabolizing it, is in many respects, a creative work. Not because we have to be artists in the classic sense, but because we are participating in creating something new; and until that newness is produced in us, it becomes something we work *with.*
At the pace we are able. 
God willing, with some tenderness.
God willing, with some compassion. 
God willing, until it becomes "our creative offering." 
May it be so.
