Words Heal

Beaumont
Beaumont
Have you ever heard the expression, "Words wound"? Well, it's true, they do. But words can also heal. Words can give hope. Words can uplift, provide reassurance, calm, guide, validate... Words can do wonders. Let's share some good words here, making this a place you can turn to when you need something to occupy your mind, something to help drive out the bad memories, something to quiet the fears and doubts, something to hold onto when the nightmares come. I'll begin by typing a few quotations, and you can add anything you like.
