As we reflect back on 2013 and look forward towards 2014, I thought this quote from Jackie O. was most appropriate.  There's the old saying often sang by schoolchildren "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" but as I get older I find that it no longer holds true.  Words have the power to inspire--or hurt--in a way that nothing else on this planet can touch.  The pain from a paper cut or a broken arm is quickly forgotten but the pain from a hurtful letter or the joy from an unexpected email can last for years.  Come join me in 2014 by thinking on words: yours, mine, all the words that dance around us each and everyday.  I hope that mine can inspire, enlighten, inform, and plain old entertain all those who swing by my little corner of the internet.  --Kiki
