I keep coming back to the words. Both because I recognize how much damage they can do- we are all sensitive, after all. Some of us just hide it better- and because I recognize how much healing they can do. So many of us have been wounded by language. The right word, at the right time, can heal those wounds and revive someone's hope. I try to remember that. A kind word to a stranger, to someone down on their luck, to a kid who has yet to feel seen and supported, can change everything. Communicate something radically kind to someone you don't know today... Lets call it Kindness Thursday... And then, lets do it tomorrow, Kindness Friday... And then...- Jeff Brown

Words, so powerful. They can crush a heart, or heal it. They can shame a soul, or liberate it. They can shatter dreams o energize them. They can obstruct connection, or invite it. They can create defenses, or melt them. We have to use words wisely. - Jeff Brown
