A Voice and Heart with Values

July 6, 2007 by Liz

I’ve been thinking . . .

about values.

Value. It’s almost hard to think of the word without a consumer voice: value-priced, value-added, value for your money.

Value in it’s truest sense means to hold dear and to keep precious. It’s a word once meant for our children, our heirlooms, our self-respect. I’m hoping that we might bring it back. How hard could that be?

All it would mean is to hold our values up for people to see. I value my family, my friends, my time with the people I care about. Not everyone has family. Some people are alone.

I value my freedoms, my rights, and my responsibilities, even when they wear me down, because they build me up too. Not everyone can do as I do. Some people don’t get the chances I got.

I value the luck I have to write every day and to be who I am. Not everyone gets to be who they are. Some folks are asked not to see what they see, not to know what they know.

I have a voice and a heart. They can show what values are.

A voice with values is stronger than value-added . . .

A heart with values is more than a precious stone . . .

I’ll value my time and spend it with people I love

because I value them.
