Why “words with care”?


“Words with care” means care of self and world through the words we choose. How we use words in our thoughts and in our written work shapes the world we live in. Why not choose to use them carefully, and to show care?

But words with care is about more than writing. It’s about editing, too. When I edit, I want to lavish care on your words. As in deep listening, I’m paying attention for the heart of what you’re saying. It’s “soul care,” but for words and their writers.
