Good morning my DU family,

Sticks and stones will break my bones but words won't ever hurt me.....is obviously an old line of BS that we know to be not just false, but damagingly so.

Please remember the power of your words, the importance of choosing them with care, and a reminder that criticism without love is cruel.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to use our words to help lift up others, encourage others, support others, and to compliment others. In other words, to love one another.

Have a wordswhile day DU.

Love, John
