Words Are Power

Words are power.

Words spoken around our kids, by ourselves or others have real power upon their lives. It shapes them, their view of themselves and of the world surrounding them. Most of us are aware of that fact.

But do we practice? While we are conscious of not speaking ill of people of different color we need to extend that practice to gender and people of different orientation!

I have watched people whom are caring, loving adults allow others to speak freely in a negative way about gays, even if it is not their personal view - what about not in my house! I challenge you to speak out, to not allow anyone, no matter if they are family members or friends to speak down upon another group of people in your presence. Your children are listening. Words are power. They shape our future.

Blessed Be!
