Women on the Verge - Power of Words July 2011 Hot Topic

Tucson, AZ, July 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Online community Women on the Verge announces its July Hot Topic: "Power of Words". WOTV members and newcomers are invited to share on the site how words, written or spoken, have helped transform their lives. WOTV founder Ana Lewis notes: “Simply reading this press release could be the initiation of your own personal transformation.”

Author and Nobel Prize winner Rudyard Kipling once said: “Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.” Language has the power to both divide and unite people, to engender dissatisfaction or to increase understanding.

A Wikipedia article on language development reveals infants can read lips and distinguish speech sounds as early as four months of age. The article notes further that the earliest learning begins for the fetus in utero, where it learns to recognize the sound of its mother’s voice. In most cultures, children attain fluency in their native language by age three. Thus, an understanding of the power of words, whether positive, negative, or neutral, is fundamental very early in life.

A recent Amazon.com book search for the key phrase “power of words” garnered 2,903 results - many of these books profess to help the reader transform their experience at work, enhance emotional or physical healing, communicate in positive ways with their spouse, children or co-workers, or rewrite the vision of their own future.

Ana Lewis invites current and new members to share how words have changed their life, or the lives of those they’ve touched, on the WOTV blog. She suggests that “by connecting on the WOTV website and radio show, women can support each other in a way that leads to better health in mind, body and spirit”.

Women on the Verge is a fresh, growing, free, global, online community of women (and a few men) encouraging and supporting each other to speak and let their voices be heard.
