The Power of Words ... Again


The Power of Words … Again

I’m reminded again of the importance of the right word spoken at the right time.  I use words in writing, in speaking.  Are they good words, wholesome words, enlightening words, uplifting words?

Attorneys are keen on words.  The right words in a contract or in a court case can make or break their success. 

And the words I say silently to myself are of top priority.  My self-talk matters, for I am listening.  What images do I hold of self?  What do I imagine of my capabilities?  What do I like about me?

I even looked at my blood pressure cuff and blood sugar kit yesterday and thought, “These are tools for my well-being.  They are my friends, for they tell me how I am doing.  I embrace these tools as good in my life.”

Our words matter.

Always have.  Always will.


This is my
morning reflection.

Behold the Naked Woman and Man


Behold the Naked Woman and Man

This blog has one mission – to get you naked.

I want to see you naked, bare, exposed.  Show us your good and ugly parts.  Yes indeed.

I’ve been naked before.

~When I write and press “Publish”, I’m naked.
~Admitting that something is my fault – I’m naked.
~I’ve given speeches before.  I got naked.

Got an idea?  Good.  Own it.  Tell us about it.  Now you're naked.

Seth Godin says this about ‘naked’: “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing naked, alone, boldly.”

I simply wanted to grab your attention.  Now, go and do something worthwhile with your gift and imagination.


This is my
morning reflection.

I'm Taking My Turn, Again


I’m Taking My Turn, Again

I had to take almost four months off from my writing.  Life demanded that I do that, and so I did.  And now, I think it is my turn, again, to write with the voice I’ve been given. 

Honestly, it’s kind of scary.  Writing is like a muscle.  For me, the more I do it the stronger I write.  And I wondered if perhaps I might have lost some of my muscle. 

Regardless, I will write again.  I’ll write because it is something I enjoy, and it’s what I do.  I believe in myself enough to know that the thoughts will come back, the editorial insights will rise up again, and the thoughts will flow as only I can make them flow.

Really, this is an encouragement blog for you and for me.  Have you had your day in some kind of craft or skill and then found yourself having to shelve it for a season?  Well now, perhaps, just perhaps, it’s your turn again. 

Just imagine that.  There is life after a season of inactivity. 

Here’s the key.  Just start.  Let the good, the bad and the ugly come out.  You’ll sort it out in time. 

That’s what I’m doing and I’m sticking to my story.


This is my
morning reflection.
