Hello!
I am very excited to bring you the first in my
Change the World series. I began the series in 2018. We need it even more today. My premise is that each of us, individually, can make small shifts in our thinking, in our communication, and in our relationships. In so doing, we can initiate true, enduring change in the world for the benefit of all.
Being relentlessly positive is at the heart of my effort when I compose ArtFull Moments Messages. It takes a little extra effort to express myself using only positive words. The results are more powerful statements that can more readily be received by others.
Here's an example. One could say, "Do not be disrespectful and inconsiderate to others." Or, one could say, "Treat others with respect and kindness". The first is more harsh. The second is more gentle. The first sets up involuntary images of harm. The second evokes no harm at all, yet positively conveys the same message, more powerfully and in a way that is easier to accept and remember.
Be watchful, especially on the internet and mass media, and you will see much well-meaning communication that could have been strengthened through use of positive expression.
It is often very easy for me to begin my day in awestruck gratitude. This week's image was a sunrise in Gisela Valley, Arizona a while ago. I will never forget it.
Sincerely with love,
Emmie Derise
p.s.I hope you like the new format. It should work even better than before on mobile devices.
