"No surprise here, Words have power!
No, I am not just talking about those magical spells in the Potterverse that so many of us have learned to escape to, but I am talking about those every day comments that can enhance or tear apart one's very soul.
I am talking about some simple words and phrases that we use every day that have the power to make or break our connection with others.
"I understand," are the words that will bring connection and comforting warmth.
"You don't understand," bring the icy bards that separate and threaten connection in so many ways.
So much power in so few words."
