Kathy, I love this video! It's so wonderful to both see and hear you on this video! You inspire me with your gracious combination of wisdom, kindness, passion, and centeredness. Your remarks today remind me of some of the wise ones I've been blessed to accompany (and be accompanied by), especially in the past fifteen years. Until my mid 60s I lived in a church bubble - I should say, "affluent, white, mainline Protestant church bubble." During my years in prison, and since then, I've been privileged to rub shoulders with people I would not otherwise have met, and it's been amazing. People who survived unspeakable childhood and adult trauma, yet who are able to laugh and live and be kind.
These days, more than ever, we need wisdom and kindness. I am inclined to lead with reactivity, with outrage, resentment, and hopelessness. Thanks for showing a better way.
