Words matter...
Yesterday, my Irish friend Ciarán emailed me to say, ‘Words matter.’
Yes, they do. More than we realise…
WORDS MATTER
Your words and
who you are to
say them, matter.
Your voice,
your posture,
counts more than
you realise.
Choose wisely,
ripples spread.
+ Sue Heatherington
Pause. See differently. Re-story…
~ Ciarán was responding to my post For Wisdom – a midweek Pause for Peace, on a day when international words mattered.

9 个月So true Sue, and one of the important people to take care what we say to is ourselves. My mom used to say “be careful what you say to yourself. Your brain hears you.” So no put-downs, no I-can’ts. Be your best cheerleader. When you’re kinder to yourself, it’ll help you be kinder and more accepting of others too.

9 个月It never fails to amaze me Sue Heatherington that we make ourselves understood to another with words that carry meaning differently depending on who is speaking them and how. The desire to be seen and heard runs deep in us humans.

9 个月Words, tone and energetic frequency all combine to create a message. We need to be mindful of them all if we want to even come close to ‘saying’ what we actually intend to!
