"I couldn't help but imagine what
my world might be like if I looked at the human beings I was closest to as holy." - Joan Anderson
Imagine how our homes would be, how our world would be, if we cultivated respect and kindness in all our communications.
There's a way to move in that direction.
Did you know that, for every unkind word or gesture,
it takes 5 positive things to balance the hurt, to heal the harm? It's called the "5 to 1 ratio."
During the week ahead, let's become more aware of our words, the tone of our voice, and our facial expressions.
When we catch ourselves being critical or sarcastic, let's watch for opportunities to be positive and practice the "5 to 1 ratio."
With love and reverence,
Charlene
Use your gifts well and you will discover others, among them a gift that is uniquely you.
