Power of WORDS

Where is your POWER?

Have you ever been bullied, belittled or talked down to? How did you respond? If this was to happen to you tomorrow, how would you respond?

A few days ago, a story was on the news about a news anchor's response to a viewer (bully) calling her fat. Watch the video of how she so gracefully responds. Bullying is REAL and it does not just happen to kids, adults face bullying that comes in various forms...

"...the cruel words of ONE are nothing compared to the shouts of MANY"

Many times we are forced to be silent, we lose our voice. Recent events in the news showed the bravery of speaking up. Unfortunately, many women around the globe have to be silent because their livelihood is threatened. In some situations, you have to choose wisdom over speaking UP or speaking OUT.

As women, we have so much power. I am daily inspired by the many "heroes" who are fighting to educate women, empower women and enable women to take a stand and make significant contributions to their worlds. We just have to unleash that power...and keep fighting for women who are in situations where they cannot show their strength yet...but they will!!! We will be the MANY shouting out for them:)

Often times in life, we have to pick our battles. Words are so powerful...they have the capacity to BUILD UP or BREAK DOWN.

Whatever you are facing in life, even though it is so much easier said than done, as women we have to hold on to this...
