Episode 51: What We Say Matters

The reason why I choose not to say the "F Word" will surprise you. It has to do with a House Swallow.
That's right.
A House Swallow.

Today's episode is the 5th of the "It Matters" series I have been covering over the last few months. We are not just passive bystanders watching life happen to us.  Let's own the fact that we are free agents actively engaged in our lives; and what we think, eat, watch and say matters!!

1. What we think matters.

5. What we say matters.

1. Words have power: They can heal or hurt.
2. Sociology 101: Cultural context gives words meaning...and we are part of a worldwide culture.
3. A hike in the red rocks: How we say words MATTERS...soo much. To me, just as much as the actual word culture assigns meaning to.
4. Invasive species & fast food: Have certain words taken over your vocabulary and what is your conversation full of?  Cheap additives & fillers of meaningful context?

How do we change our words? 

1. The 4 principles of Buddist Right Speech 
2. 5 Things you can do today to change the words you say and how you say it.
3. One last thing that I don’t think I articulated in the episode as much as I wanted to.  Like I have said, words and the energy behind our words does matter. NAMES MATTER.  I will absolutely respect what words someone wants me to call them or their organization or their church or race (or not call them)…because it matters to them and that matters to me!  For example-I will call you he/him/she/her/it/them/they…whatever honors you my friend, because I want you to feel respect and love.  The end.
