This Week…Celebrating WORDS
When I learned that today is Wordsmith Day, I couldn’t help but think of our friend and master of wordsmithery… Michael Jacobs
“This day recognizes the importance of words and the skill of those who use them effectively.”
Be mindful when it comes to your words. A string of some that don’t mean much to you may stick with someone else for a lifetime. Rachel Wolchin
We use words daily, and like people, some are good and some..not so much. In writing our posts, we’re torn between choosing words our readers will understand and trying to up our game by using words we enjoy using.
Words are free. It’s how you use them that may cost you.

Where people may forgive a transgression, words are often less forgiving. My high school principal was always reminding us that…
A word said is a word dead.
Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Rumi
Our words can offer comfort to someone in need…but they also have the power to cut someone off at the knees. They can inspire others to dream big or dishearten anyone looking for hope.
My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel–it is, before all, to make you see.
Joseph Conrad
Did you know that the average person has a vocabulary of between 20,000 and 35,000 words???
Only 5% of the words people use during the day are unique words.
Have fun using your words this weekend!
