Living in gratitude is the opposite of living in crisis. When we live in gratitude, we avert crisis; when we live in crisis, we are disregarding the many reasons to be grateful. We live in present crisis in order to avert the potential crisis of the future, when what we need to do is live…
We Are Embraced
We may be the strongest person we know, but at our weakest moment, we are so incredibly blessed, that we come across the next strongest person we know; to carry us through, to guide us, to show us the light in the midst of our darkness.
Happy Anniversary!
Today is our anniversary! One year ago, PLAYING WITH WORDS launched its blog as a humble project of love. We started with a simple post and committed to posting daily for the first 365 days.

Affirming Our Abundance
As we get ready to go to bed at night, when we lay our heads to rest after a hectic day, let us verbalize the following words: "We are healthy, we are free, we are at peace." These words affirm the abundant life we enjoy, despite any other current circumstances. We enjoy abundance in the…

When we come together to celebrate our blessings, to express our gratitude, it's just an opportunity to emphasize what our hearts embrace every day: eternal gratitude for each other, for…
