Words are, in a sense, magic. Words have the ability to change anything and everything.
Imagine that words did not exist, that you had no words to reach for. How would you even begin to express yourself, your needs, your reactions to the relentless images and sensations of the world all around you? What would you do without words?
Words gift us the ability to make sense of the world in which we find ourselves, and to communicate with and perhaps even influence those around us. Words can change how others feel. Words can create or enhance understanding or clarity. Words can express or make others feel love. Words can channel, engender or enhance hatred.
Depending on how they are used, words have the ability to change anything and everything. Words might therefore be seen a type of magic.
There is no right or wrong way to use the magic that is always available to us via words.
Each of us has the unique gift to shape the words that we use and the effect they might have in a way that is uniquely us.
How will you use the words available to you today?
What are the magic words for you, for today and tomorrow?
May you be nothing but kind today, to others and to yourself.
May today be nothing but kind to you and yours.

I love words so much and yet, of late, I struggle to find them to either express complicated thoughts or to identify every day things. Your poste is a lovely reminder of why they are so important, but also why it can be so destabilizing to not have them. J

Great to hear from you, Julie, although I am sorry to hear that you find yourself struggling to find the right words at the moment.
The lovely thing about words is that they are always there waiting for us, even when – as happens to us all – they can at times be hard to find.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you while you are feeling this way. If you don’t want to post publicly, feel free to drop me a DM on LinkedIn (not always the optimal communications medium in my view, but I think it’s my only DM-able route these days, since I left Twitter).
Nothing but the very best of good wishes to you for today.
