My commitment is to meet you with kindness.
Even when, especially when, you’re hurt and fear is too much to find kind words and tone whether you're the stranger in traffic, a friend, a client, an email — my commitment is kindness. And, when I myself stumble instead over past resentment and unexplored fear {that actually has nada to do with you} -- I'll do my best to brush off my knees and try again. In kindness.
The world is unkind, unforgiving enough.
You don't need me to add to it.
