The focus in this group is to establish a foundation for empathy in the written sense of the word. To use words that depict the empathy one can or cannot feel or experience, and to apply these words in everyday use. The very nature of expressing acts of kindness from the internal heartfelt thought, to the words used to express those thoughts to others in the form of gifts of kindness. One theory is that actions speak louder than words, however, it is my contention that most of the time, our being able to physically show acts of kindness to others in far away places, has been preceded by the act of kind, heartfelt words. It is with words, either spoken in person, or via the phone, the internet, or within the stamped envelope itself, which can speak louder than actions themselves. I will choose one word per week which will be broken down into terms that we will use to express our emotions, through words, in real-time everyday acts of kindness to family, friends, and most importantly, to complete strangers...... ~g6brandt~
