Miss Diane Porter

"Words are Spirit; they can create, give life to; cause things to come forth out of nothing, cause you to fulfill your dreams, cause you to grow, create happiness, and fulfillment,etc., Words are swords; they can cut, mutilate, permanently scar, stunt your growth, stain your brain, stick to you...forever. Be careful how we wield our words. Which will we unleash today on ourselves and on others?"-Mari Walker
