Empoword Community

Almost two years ago, the idea for Empoword (pronounced empowered) began to germinate. We knew it involved using a single word as the jumping off point for bigger things. We knew it was about creating your life, not just living it. We knew it was about using the power of thought to manifest change. We knew it was about being empowered.

We sent out an online survey to 120 people across the country ranging in age from 20 to 70. From a list of over 100 words, we asked them to pick the top 10 items on the list they wanted to be, do or have. The response was amazing. The shear number of replies stunned us (over 65%), but what was more dazzling was the number of unsolicited comments people sent along with their rankings.

Some of the comments were poignant. Some were very funny. A few actually took our breath away. People wanted to know more. They wanted to talk about the words. They wanted to talk about their choices. And they wanted to talk about how the words were defining their lives.

We learned a lot from the survey. Most of all we learned: words matter. Words make up the stories of our lives. They describe who we are. And they guide us as we create who we want to be.

We started Empoword because we wanted to create something meaningful, something that mattered. You matter. That is why the key ingredient in all Empoword products is you. You pick the words, and you give them meaning. Your positive thoughts turn single words, mantras, into life stories.

We wanted a place for people to tell their stories. It is our intention that this blog will be that place – a place to talk about the power of words and how they shape the stories of people’s lives.

You asked for a place to have a conversation about words. Here it is. So let’s get started, tell us your stories, tell us your thoughts, tell us about the words that matter most. Say it, think it, be it!
