How many times have we said things we regretted? How many times have we wished we had phrased a sentence differently, or praised someone instead of berating them?

A little mini book came my way yesterday called “Watch Your Language” or … Why You Should Pay Attention to the Words You Use. The author of this intriguing piece of writing is Elena Consear Ramos who has obviously felt first hand the stinging blow of unkind and thoughtless words, as many of us have.

She takes us through how the choice of words can wound, insult, destroy, demean, and in many ways have a debilitating effect on a person’s life.

In her book, Elena carefully lays out the need to think before we speak, and in so doing shows by example that she does have a way with words.

Elena’s mini books can be found on her mother’s (Pam Consear) website: http://www.AllHandsArt.com
