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. With this month of October, being the season of Thanksgiving I bring you a buzzword from the Spiritual Chapter. What I have found over these years of living with buzzwords is how exciting it is to have them appear in so many ways…and places. Sometimes they feel heaven-sent for they come in a time of need. That is the beauty of buzzwords! Once you open your mind to these empowering tools, they can augment and transform your life in such an amazing way. May this buzzword enrich you, and the relationships around you.

This month’s buzzword is:

Our voice…our vote matters! May this buzzword empower you to know that ‘you matter’ in making this world a better place.

This month’s buzzword is:

Journal

There was a time in my life when I thought no one understood me. Hey, that was probably true because I did not understand myself either. Different voices were telling me what to do, say, wear, and above all, how to live. They were so loud I could not hear my own voice. I needed to find my voice to find my own life, so I did something that helped: I started to journal. I put pen to paper and shared my inner thoughts, fears, troubling events, achievements, ......
