Remember that old singsong saying about sticks and stones breaking bones? Yeah, I don’t buy it. I think it’s an outright lie. Words hurt. Often. They even hurt others when we weren’t trying.

If you’re like me (and I know I am), when I think of spring cleaning, I think of buckets, scrub brushes, rags, mops and the like. I also think of emptying closets and pitching clutter. However, we don’t usually say to a family member, “Look what I found in the back of my closet- a … Read more
