Mitch and i were not close in High School. Our interests never connected us. But 4-5 decades later, with social media, you can find some ‘connection’.

Words shape how we see the world.

Words shape how we see ourselves.

Some words are too common to escape.

Some words are poison.

Some words are the cure.

Some words are ours to choose.

Some words are ours to trust and bank on.

Sticks and stones may break my bones

Do words matter? WordPress meetup last night. Presentation by Matthew Montoya from Constant Contact email list services.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.

This was a phrase i learned as a child because children make fun of each other by calling out names like sissy, nerd, faggot, privileged, fat, stupid, ugly, etc.

The words we use when we talk to ourselves matter. Your words can encourage you. Your words can hold you back.

You have to decide what to do with this information.

Super excited about the powerful and intentional choices you make. Rock on!

You were born for greatness.

What if he would have said…

Martin Luther King
Last night on ABC Evening News, a piece remembering the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s death. Had to write down the essence of his speech and how profoundly simple his goal was and remains today.

 

Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech was delivered the day before his assassination.

His assassination happened April 4, 1968, 50 years ago yesterday.

What if Martin Luther King would have said…

I have a strategic plan.

A big part of our spiritual belief is manifested in our word choice.

i have a strategic plan for Mid Life Celebration, LLC.

i have a dream for Mid Life Celebration, LLC.

MLK was aiming for respect, fairness, and equality.

We are still aiming.
