Can 25 Words Change the World?

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 25 Words that Connect Us Project. It was another amazing example of the power of writing. It was also another challenge to make this one shine as brightly as the words.

Here’s what you wrote.

    Hi Kelly!
    I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. Everyone said such meaningful things that putting them together was almost a breeze. 🙂

    Oh Liz, I love it! You’re the bestest slideshow maker ever. What a big job, being the most creative 25-word-putter-togetherer on the planet. And you DO make it look very breezelike (even though I know first-hand how much time and thought these kind of projects take, and breezelike isn’t the first word that comes to mind). But I’ve gotta say, you really did make this a connectifying project, because I feel more connected to these folks now (even the few I didn’t know before), being glued together in the lizaverse slideshow with them and all. 🙂 But, um, what happened to all of YOURS??

    Hi Amy,
    I made two new ones for this slideshow, just as I did for the last one. I don’t think I should muck up a beautiful project with too much “me” stuff. Folks can find plenty of that my blog. 🙂

    Thanks for the kudos. 🙂

    Finding your words very interesting. While spending a few mornings wandering around checking out the various blogs while sipping my fair trade coffee – it would appear we certainly have sparked an interest and volume of folks to get start making a difference..

    I found a YouTube video (http://www.reviewfuse.com/blog/2008/10/how-you-say-it-is-more-important/) that I wrote a blog post about that illustrates the power finding the right words to connect with people. How you say it is much more important that what you say.
