"Imagine what our real neighbors would be like if each of us offered, as a matter of course, just one kind word to another person. There have been so many stories about the lack of courtesy, the impatience of today’s world, road rage and even restaurant rage. Sometimes, all it takes is one kind word to nourish another person. Think of the ripple effect that can be created when we nourish someone. One kind empathetic word has a wonderful way of turning into many."

I truly believe words are very powerful and can be used in a positive or negative manner.....I hate to admit it but have participated in gossip and spreading rumors like others at work, etc.....I have experienced the positive effects as well as the meanness & pain of unkind gossip & jealousy- but no more!!

I NOW CHOOSE NOT TO GOSSIP, SPREAD RUMORS OR BE PART OF THE PROCESS. I CHOOSE THE OPPOSITE- I CHOOSE TO SHARE AS MUCH VERBAL KINDNESS AS POSSIBLE...WORDS CAN HEAL!!!

Words Can Heal is a national campaign to eliminate verbal violence, curb gossip and promote the healing power of words to enhance relationships at every level. (check out website wordscanheal.org). Below are a few of their slogans which have been made into signs:
