The function of turning words into butterflies, flying off the page and sending a message to all readers... Words from my book, A Child of Pain: My Secret Garden (an excerpt from Chapter 5)..."In my special secret garden, contained deep within, is a tiny wish. Such a simple request, that if I could have replanted my childhood, nurturing it with miraculously fertilizing foods (containing magic ingredients that would have made offshoots of a severely damaged parent plant into stems of healthy, strong blooming flowers) then my inner essence would now consist only of special qualities that were beneficial and pleasant and my life would surely have a more productive purpose; a more positive outcome." Words perform a function, so before you speak or write words, think about what you want to convey. Words are an important way to communicate and exact an appropriate response that is pleasing to the sender. #wordshavemeaning #wordshaveapurpose #beforeyouspeak,think #communicationisaprimaryfunction #achildhooddevelopmentstage (at Raleigh, North Carolina)
