I read this article earlier this year. It was an impactful one.

Last weekend I used the word - and instantly my listener called me out on it, "She's not JUST a ..."

I corrected myself...and then it lingered and lingered...for days and I found myself frustrated that I even used it as I had - to describe a powerful, intelligent, move-moutains leader with the word "just" before....

I instantly remembered your article - and I winced at how I didn't recall the lesson you presented here. So I know I will be so careful moving forward and learned a valuable lesson.

I wanted to come back and find this article and tell you that what we write matters -- we create ripples in other people's lives we will seldom ever hear about.

I wanted to be sure and remind you - you are not just a writer. ;-) You are a gifted writer!
