Words Matter

9m · Take the Lead with Krista · 17 Aug 05:00

What is in a word?  - Letters of the alphabet - meaning outlined in resources like the Websters Dictionary - Long A - Hard C - Confusing J - I before E except after C... Sometimes! A word can be VERY confusing! A word can be uplifting! A word can be destructive! "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me" IS TOTALLY WRONG! Words matter! I believe that if each of us would make a small, incremental change it would in fact change the world! Words show that you see the other person, love begins with words!

The episode Words Matter from the podcast Take the Lead with Krista has a duration of 9:38. It was first published 17 Aug 05:00. The cover art and the content belong to their respective owners.

Don't Be Toddleric

OK I hear you through the pod… But Krista, I am not a writer. I get it. Not everyone is. But did you learn to speak when you were a child? Did you go to school? Have you ever written a paper of any sort? Then you might be a writer! And then there is this question… What do we say to toddlers when their emotions are exploding everywhere?

Journaling and reading are the topics of this podcast. I discuss leading self as the beginning point and 2 ways I have learned more about leading myself.

Doing the Work

September will bring a couple milestones for me. One is starting therapy for the 1st time in my adult life! No I am not depressed or even struggling. But I did determine that there are things I want to work through that I am struggling to do on my own. So I got a referral and off we go! I hope that you are well in all ways. We regularly clean our teeth, maybe we should look at therapy that way too!

Psalms 23

Sharing my all time favorite touchstone from the Bible. According to Wikipedia a touchstone can be seen as "As a metaphor, a touchstone refers to any physical or intellectual measure by which the validity or merit of a concept can be tested." I have used this chapter as a touchstone to measure my connection to my faith and God. In times of trouble, in times of gratitude, in times of confusion reciting this chapter is a physically spoken method for me to my faith in the belief that the Lord is my Shepherd. I pray you find your rest, companionship and sustenance. 

Knowing My Story

In my opinion some of the most important things I can do is to know who I am, what my strengths are &  where I came from. I have the first 2 categories in hand. However, the 3rd one is not something I know. I am making it a project/mission to learn about the Beverlin, Holmes, Barker and Goodyear families. History has never been my strong suit, something I haven't paid attention to. But now that I am adult, time to learn stuff :)
