Are Your Words Toxic?...

Through the years, most of us have heard the benefits of fasting for our overall health and well-being. We know that backing away from the table can be a good idea not only for our waistline but really can become a form of detoxification. Moving away from the constant need to process and assimilate food gives our bodies a much needed rest and a sense of renewal.

I believe we can apply the principle of fasting to other areas of our life as well as see huge benefits. What would happen if we applied the principle of fasting to our conversation or words? What would be the benefits? What would happen if we were intentional about eliminating toxic words from our vocabulary? I believe our lives would radically change.

Let Gratitude Change Your Life...

I received a card from a friend that really touched me. It’s not the first card I have received from this friend, I call Evie. Evie likes to reach out and touch with a card. She seems to have a real knack for knowing when to send a card and how to say the exact thing to encourage and lift your spirit. This particular card seemed to hit a real soft spot with me and was just the word I needed to hear.

A card may seem like a very small thing to send but its impact can be huge nonetheless. Just a few words of thanks or expressions of kindness mean so much. They really do warm the heart; and in a world where real connection with people seems harder and harder to achieve, how we need more people like my friend, Evie and definitely more cards!
