The power of words November 1, 2009
Two frogs
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.This story teaches two lessons:1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path.
The power of words… it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way.
Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times.
Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.

Collage Card MOJO110. October 30, 2009
I found myself really challenged over this card and for some reason it took almost 2 hours to decide what colors and designs I wanted to play with. Although I work best under pressure. Today was an awfully sad day. Bilal is unwell and I am almost pissing in my pants in anticipation of his blood results. which will take 5 days. I took nearly 3 breaks from the session just to check on him, which I wouldnt do ordinarily. Why do I have such fantastic kids, even in sickness, they want to please me !! I am really emotional today. Maybe its my hormones, having a salsa today !!
I’m including this card for the papertake weekly challenge too for the theme Spots and Stripes. Incidently that is my favorite combination. Lets see how I fair there.
Anyways here’s the end result of the challenge image of the card. Nothing like a beautiful collage of colors, patterns and designs.
