Enlightened Etymology

Illuminating

I look around me and often see that people have forgotten the beauty and power of language and its ability to communicate our hopes and dreams and ideas. Some say they are just words, but all words have meaning. Our words can mark our greatest accomplishments and conquer our greatest fears. They can tell a story that encourages a heart or they can make up a story that destroys one. These simple letters added to one another have shaped history, love, and even creation. Join me as I celebrate the words that have shaped me and what they really mean.
