Words Have Great Power

My company is called Up-Words.  My motto is:  “Offering Hope, Encouragement, and Inspiration One Word at a Time.”

This quote hit me between the eyes tonight. 

My step-daughter, Paula, gave me a framed picture.  Here it is.

I believe that, you know.  I’ve had words said to me that have been transformative.  In most cases, the speaker of those words was oblivious to my mental/spiritual/emotional state at that particular moment in time; nevertheless, his/her words reached me on a deep level and changed me.

That is what I intend to spend the rest of my life doing – using words to heal, restore, encourage and inspire.

Because my reading audience is diverse, I am going to split this post into two sections.

Section One will offer words of inspiration, hope and insight for common man/common woman.

Section Two will be for my readers who also appreciate words from the great book – the Bible.  Be encouraged today, my friend.

Actually I woke up one day and decided I didn’t want to feel like this anymore, or ever again, so I changed.  Just like that.
