My wish is for everyone to have an amazing 2017. After the debacle that was 2016, everyone deserves new beginnings...

I have been considering how much words can impact someone's life lately. I can recall words spoken over me as a small child that had planted seeds of rejection, self-hate and insecurity. This reason has birthed in me over the years a desire to be more wholesome and encouraging in my words; perhaps because I knew what it was to feel inadequate and discouraged and that root still runs deep.

Pardon the Christian references for those of you who aren't religious...but,
Psalm 141:3: says: Set a guard over my mouth and keep watch over the door of my lips.

The mouth has the power of life and death. Growing up, I was taught something very useful when considering my speech: Is what you say useful? Does it build others up? Is it relevant?

We tend to speak words like daggers and sadly it is often to those we love the most. Part of my maturity has been to exercise self-control and I can honestly say for the most part I either don't speak at all or I deeply consider how I speak...

We need to be so careful that we are planting gardens of life and not seeds of destruction.

Words carry power and can completely shape how someone sees themselves. We need to heal and not hurt.

My morning inspiration and meditation.

My morning inspiration and meditation. __________________ How do you define courage? Is it the absence of fear? You might think, under the weight of your fears, "I am not courageous." But maybe you have the wrong perspective. Courage can be measured in many ways, and is not the absence or denial of fear, but the willingness to act vulnerably. When you're faced with the unknown and then you stand on the edge of risk, courage brings you to the point where you are able to take flight, though you might be unsure of your wings.
