Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt you.

A familiar phrase we’ve known and heard, I’ve found it not to be true.

The right word at the right time is like a custom made piece of jewelry

Speaking life and light, making it the perfect accessory

After all is said and done,

We hold the power of life and death in our own tongue

Words can refresh our spirit overflowing from a well

Words can confine us, building ourselves into a cell

Words give hope and words can heal

Words reflect what our inner spirit want to reveal

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt you.

A familiar phrase we’ve known and heard, I’ve found it not to be true.

After all is said and done,

We hold the power of life and death in our own tongue

Your words can give the fruit of life or poison that can kill.

The choice is ours and the choice is your will.

Lessons From The Fire

"In the midst of it all, I reflected on the lessons we can learn from the fire—especially how we can show up and be present for those still recovering from their own fires, whether physical, spiritual, or emotional."

From childhood, my mother poured into me the power of storytelling—the importance of hearing, telling, and passing down our stories.

Each day is its own journey ….

“ … may we, too, speak affirmations that align us with our purpose and ignite the fire within us to make meaningful contributions to the world.”
