Words, they are the foundation of our lives. The Bible says that God spoke the world into existence.
If they are strong enough to create the earth they must have enough power to impact our every day
life. Not only can words hurt emotionally I think that they can shake a persons self image. Words are
so easily spoken with very little thought for their consequences. They can be used to inflict emotional
and psychological harm if not used properly. The effects of which can last a lifetime. Solution for
this unnecessary onslaught of pain. Simply consider the words that are coming out of your mouth. Do
they up lift? Can they be seen as something constructive? If the answer is no then just don't say
them. A lot of heart ache can be avoided by the proper usage of our words. Even if it seems as if
someone is not taking what we say to heart it's reaching them. A kind word can be the bridge
someone needs to get from a bad day to a good one and you could be the builder of that
steppingstone. It's a great responsibility that we have been given so let's consider our words before
we say them. We should hold ourselves accountable to what words we speak. Let's be that healing
touch that someone might need. While words have the capacity to do great harm they also can create
great beauty. For authors and POETS words are the lifeblood of their craft. We can use words to
create something breathtaking like Beethoven used notes to comepose his famous fifth Symphony. Or
like the paints that Michelangelo used to create his masterpiece on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel.
But wait! You may say, "I'm no poet I also can't write my way out of a paper bag". Don't let this hold
you back from creating your word masterpiece. Some of the worlds most beautiful works of art are
not captured on canvas or recorded on a piece of paper. Take the beauty of a sunset with its light blue,
oranges, and pinks. Or snow as it gently falls to the waiting blanket on the ground below. Here one
moment and gone the next let our words be like those works of art if not touching millions then
touching just one. Out of the thousands of words we say every day we can string a handful of them
together and make a difference. Isn't it our responsibility to do so? Let us not carelessly speak words
into the universe today, but making a conscious effort to speak only the words that are life-giving.
Add to the artwork of words today and write a poem or short story. Be brave and try your hand at
writing a novel. We are all artistic and it is time we started acting like the artists we are.

Dark places by Gillian Flynn
This is about a woman who is struggling with her family's murder, And her brothers corresponding conviction. Soon a family secret will come to light.
Why does this book so memorable, in
I did not care for her writing style. I didn't appreciate the way she described thing. I found myself not able to eat while I was reading her book. Although, her story line was solid. There was also a really odd twist at the end. I could not get past her description. I almost did not finish her book

Why was this booktubes so memorable
I thoroughly did not like her writing I didn't care for the main characters in her room on the lawn at one point I thought my iPad was broken because she kept repeating herself in her dialogue. Also the love triangle was gringe worthy. I know that this is not a very popular opinion. However, I must stick to my guns.
