Words can soothe or strike, it depends on how you use them. The words themselves are harmless, no matter which words they are. The intent matters, and the way they're used matter even more.

Words
People can be real clever with their words, but often words just fail us. They're a clunky way to communicate, filled with double meanings or not even conveying what we mean at all. But, since we can't read each others' minds, our words are our best bet. As they're supposed to be the expression of … Continue reading Words
Speak It
Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Remember that words have power, so be careful with how you use them. Sure, you can always say you're sorry if you lash out. But, even still, whatever you said before that will not be so easily forgotten. Speak only about what you want. And above … Continue reading Speak It
Words
Words try to help, but they don't fully get the job done. Words can even send you down the wrong path, intentionally or not. It's best to take care with the words you use. Be impeccable with your word, as Don Miguel Ruiz advises. Words may not be a perfect communication devise, but, so far, … Continue reading Words
Careful
Be careful with the words you say. And, not only the ones you say to others, but the ones you silently say to yourself. Words have power. They represent the thoughts you think and the feelings you feel. Be careful with how you use them. Because, even if you apologize, and say that you didn't … Continue reading Careful
Words
When it's all said and done, you realize that words are so vastly inadequate. But, they're the best that we've got for now. So, be sure and use your words when it's your time. Speak up. Communicate. And say what you need to say.
Voice
Use your voice to speak your truth and get your point across, even if sometimes the best use of your voice is silence. There can be so much said in silence. And nothing said in a sea of words. There's no set way how to do it, you just have to be sure that you … Continue reading Voice

According to the saying, sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. That's a nice sentiment, and it's meant to give you encouragement against gossip and criticism. However, I believe that words do have power. They can create or destroy. They do that by encouraging your own beliefs. So the … Continue reading Words
Just Love
When you can't think of any words that will help, perhaps you should stop worrying about what to say, and just love. When you're not sure what to do, sometimes the best thing you can do is to just love. Even if you are clever enough to easily know the right words, or the right … Continue reading Just Love
Communication
It seems to me that in the debate over religion, those arguing against it, are relating it to an ideology, and yet those arguing in defense of it, are relating it to spirituality. So really, the debate itself might boil down to a simple failure to communicate. I mean, of course they can't see eye-to-eye … Continue reading Communication
Words
I love words. Obviously, I do, as I'm a writer. But words can be used deceptively. A person's actions speak so much more clearly about their character than the words they use. And their energy is actually much easier to read. People can try to spin a story with their words, but if you pay … Continue reading Words
Show, don’t tell
Actions speak louder than words. It's a true statement, but looks funny written out. After all, words are what we use to communicate. But they often fall short in telling an effective story. Isn't it a picture that's worth a thousand words? That can mean that a picture is an extremely valuable source of information, … Continue reading Show, don’t tell
