The Power of Words

Someday we’ll be able to measure the power of words. I think they are things. They get on the walls…they get in your rugs, in your upholstery, in your clothes and, finally, they enter you.                                 – Maya Angelou

 The written and spoken word determines what we do in life and how we do it. And since words ultimately guide our actions, it is important for us to speak words of truth, love and every good thing we desire to experience into existence.                                                                           -Iyanla Vanzant

My written reflections are posted here for those eager to find their way to a deeper understanding of the universal human experience. Words have always been so important to me, the written word especially. But I never fully realized the power of words until the publication of my book, They Live On. I have since learned that change occurs from the inside out and that we influence our collective future one person at a time, soul-to-soul. I welcome your comments and stories as we together seek a higher consciousness. The pen is indeed mightier than the  sword.                                                    -Patricia A. Nugent
