Wonderfully crafted! And so appropriate for today (last day of the slice and first day back to school with a fresh, new start.

So powerful! Yes, all of those things and more. Today I will use my words to comment, analyze, report and write!

Yes! All your pieces either had me thinking or laughing every single time. I almost want to ask if I can take this and print this? There something so artistic about it to me.
You are such an intelligent writer and you value words without question. I’m so happy that I followed you this month and I hope you’ll be there Tuesdays. Yours are one of my favs. 🙂

I think of all that we accomplished and learned as slicers this month with our words. This is a nice way to sum up the power of words, spoken and written.
