The Power of Buzzwords

Buzzwords are a form of mental prompts that empower you to look to yourself for answers and propel you to action in a positive and proactive way. As we greet the New Year, I want to share a special buzzword from my book’s Children section. Recently, I came across an inspiring interview by @connectwithgrowth titled “Little Philosopher Explains Love”, in which a young child expresses the importance of self-love. She is blessed to have found this truth at such a tender age, which will strengthen and guide her throughout her life.  You can watch her insightful message here:  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bYvQyiiAxd4. Now embed this buzzword “I Am Loved” into your mind, your heart,.........

This December, I share a buzzword from my book’s Health section. While the holiday season is often a joyful time of celebration, it can also bring present-day challenges that weigh heavily on the heart. For me, when I witness a sunrise, it gives me strength and reminds me of a quote attributed to Francis of Assisi, “Where there is darkness, let there be light.” May this buzzword, “Fill Me with Light” be one to call upon when you need to refuel and renew your spirit.

Buzzwords are a form of mental prompts that empower you to look to yourself for answers and propel you to action in a positive and proactive way. For November, I bring you a buzzword from my book’s Relationship section. After watching Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’—a masterpiece of art, with its gorgeous set design, costumes, cinematography, and outstanding performances, I had to watch it a second time! I was moved by the film’s portrayal of a father-son relationship and their emotional challenges, highlighting the importance of forgiveness and belonging. With this, I share the buzzword, “Forgive Them.”

This month’s buzzword is:

In this month of October, during Thanksgiving, I share the buzzword, “Be Grateful” from my book’s Life section. I have found that Thanksgiving can be more than an occasion to celebrate life’s blessings—it can be an everyday state of mind grounded in gratitude. By welcoming an attitude for gratitude, being an ongoing state of deepening your appreciation for the present moment and everything within…it will enrich your life…. “Be Grateful.”

In this month of September, I share a buzzword from my book’s Parenting section. With the start to the new school year and everything it brings, I thought this buzzword would be the perfect choice for parents looking for support…smile. For many households that have been freewheeling over the summer, it can be hard to transition to structured routines with chores, homework, regular meals, social activities, and the big one, bedtime.

This month’s buzzword is:

Pivot

When I set my mind on something I can be like a dog with a bone—laser focused on achieving that goal. Yes, at times this helps me stay on track, but other times, it can be detrimental when change is needed, and I resist. While others can adapt and reposition like a fine-tuned athlete…I’m not one of them. I just don’t move that quickly…in body or mind..........

For this month of May, I share a buzzword from my book’s Relationship section. With the most recent meeting of our Prime Minister Mark Carney and the United States administration, we saw firsthand “the art of diplomacy” as our PM held his own navigating what he needed to say (or not say) while keeping his integrity and remaining positive and proactive. As we’ve seen, not an easy thing to do in the Oval Office. In your own personal life, when you feel that you are going into a “lion’s den,” use this buzzword to keep you focused on .........

With this month of April, I share a buzzword from my book’s Relationship section. There are times in our relationships, when compromises are necessary for the greater good. Much like the dynamics in a family, our Provinces and Territories may not agree with all plans put forth. Nonetheless, it is important to unite our national interests—our “true patriot love,” with the common goal to build one country…one Canada. May this buzzword help to align our purpose to strengthen the ties that bind us.
