10 Types of Moms that Suck
I just started reading the article in the link above and the line I highlighted inspired some thought for me. There have been so many times I have caught myself telling my five year old a word is bad. I say caught myself because I don't consciously believe words are bad. I find there are really great words and good words and no words are bad.
I have attempted to explain to my extremely verbal child that we should think before
we speak and acknowledge that with speech comes responsibility. I attempt to live by Speak with and from Integrity. It's not always easy, especially if I let my emotions get a hold of me and I forget to pause.
I explain to him how language is so powerful. I drive home the notion that there is a sort of mysticism when you are able to create a tapestry of color and light with only words...it's not alchemy, it's MAGIC.
Nevertheless, I hope I can teach and coach my son to thrive. grow, and love in all healthy ways. Also, I pray he remembers Words are worlds, worlds are created by our words and I hope he remembers all words are either good or great. :)
Love transcends all things. Trust in the wonder and power of your dreams.
Thank you for reading and Sharing.
Sharing is caring!
Love exists and Life is a miracle, treat it all as such.
Namastè.
In possibility,
