I hope you manage to get the chance to contribute too. Jeanne, thank you. I do believe words can change things - but only in that they lead to us behave differently out there in the 'real' world.

Jeanne, thank you. I do believe words can change things – but only in that they lead to us behave differently out there in the ‘real’ world.

Thanks for sharing, in such an inspiring way, the thought that, as critical as words can be in the fight against poverty, we can't stop there. Just as well-chosen words can give our thoughts wings, causing our readers to soar to new intellectual, emotional, and ideological heights, action can give those thoughts arms, legs, hands, and feet with which we may get out among the suffering and really make a difference. Jeanne Joanna,

I'm going to store that one away for future use! Cath, thanks. I enjoyed your piece too. As consumers get more concerned businesses get more sneaky, which means we need to keep a really close eye on what they're doing to make sure we're not having the wool pulled over our eyes Yasmin, I know what you mean. I think Mandela's words have some of that same power. I'd say it was because they were drawing on a very powerful source (of belief, faith, hope, strength) coupled with a very powerful vision of how things could be different. Jan, and thanks for mentioning your post. It's tremendous. Here's the link everyone http://cartierpaintingaday.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-did-you-last-show-anyone-how-to.html Oh, and hello :-) Ellen, that's a good question. I think mine is 'invite'. Quiet invitations can work wonders. Robyn, verbal capital – what a great concept. I’m going to store that one away for future use!
