Lent, in a Word

Add one word during the next 40 days in order to bring serenity to your home.

 

For those of you who celebrate Lent, it is popular today to, instead of giving something up, add something meaningful to your life.  If you are wondering what in the world that could be, I have a suggestion:

“No.”

Don’t add any words before or after it.

“No.”

It’s a complete sentence.

“No.”

That simple word can create a sense of serenity in your home.  

“No.”

Deliver that one word with a calm, firm voice.

“No.”

Try it for the next 40 days.  And please, let me know how it goes!
