One of life's greatest privileges in life is being trusted with another person's story.

Hold Stories Softly

One of life’s

greatest privileges

is being trusted with

another person’s story.

Every story deserves to be

witnessed with compassion.

Hold each other’s stories softly.

In my work, people invite me into the middle of their stories.

It is one of life’s greatest privileges to sit with someone as they entrust you with the parts of themselves they’ve carried in silence.

Why she went quiet.
Why he pushed people away.
Why they did the best they could with what they were carrying.

I’ve come to believe we’d all be gentler with each other if we remembered that every person has a story we cannot see.

A reminder to hold each other a little more softly, a little more kindly.

Sending love. 🤍
