The power of words is easy to understand when you are reading a book that is written so powerfully that it brings you to tears, or when you hear the lyrics to a song that have a message so incredible it gives you chills.  Words have the power to evoke emotion, inspire, motivate, and even hold the power to cause injury when used as a weapon.

Today’s episode is all about the power of one word.  Choosing one word to be your power word for the year can teach you important lessons, unleash your inner strength as you are facing challenges, and help to keep you focused on your goals throughout the year.
