Hello October! The international theme for October is SOFT.

Hello October! The international theme for October is SOFT. It was chosen by our Victoria chapter in British Columbia, Canada and illustrated by Leah McInnis, and is presented by Adobe.

The world feels hard in so many ways. Soft is gentle, empathic, and vulnerable. But being soft is not a weakness. It is a sign of deeper strength. Having the courage to walk through life without armor. 

Let’s snuggle up and let down our guard.
