I’ve always been profoundly fascinated by the power of words.

Yes, actions are equally important and often have a greater and more noticeable impact on your life, but, as minor as may seem, words are the unsuspected pillars of deep, resilient human relationships. Words are what makes you feel truly understood, seen, met, cared for and cherished.

Many of us free speech advocates roll our eyes at that sometimes – in a “toughen up” and “millennials are too sensitive” type of way. But it’s not about being considerate and “nice”, it’s being more effective and choosing the course of growth that you share with someone else. It’s semantics until it has to do with a relationship that really matters to you.

I’m going back to Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. It truly is a language of life. 🎁
