Mindful speech

I picked up a Clean Speech St. Louis Workbook in the lobby yesterday, discovered it had a page for each day in March 2022, and started reading.  Page 5 shows that Crown Center for Senior Living is one of 37 participating organizations.  Here are the weekly topics:

Week 1:  Is it important to care about "clean speech"?

Week 2:  Talking about how we talk

Week 3:  Talking about how we listen

Week 4:  Sometimes you have to speak up

Week 5:  The end

Here are the daily subjects this week:

Day 1:  It's a Beautiful World

Day 2:  Words Create Reality

Day 3:  No Band-Aid Big Enough

Day 4:  Learn to Argue

Day 5:  Judge Others Favorably

Day 6:  Practice

Day 7:  What a Legacy We Have

I like the first sentences for the first day:  "This is not a book about speech.  It's a book about us.  Clean Speech St. Louis is not just about what we say.  It is about who we are. . . . If we remove negativity, gossip, slander, and divisiveness from our vocabulary, we automatically and dramatically improve our own lives and the lives of everyone around us" (p. 8).
