Start Date: December 11, 2013
In November, I went to Time Out For
Women with my Mom and sisters. We heard from Hilery Weeks,
who is one of my favorite people in the world. She told us about this rice
experiment. Basically you cook regular white rice and measure an even amount
into two jars. We labeled one rice Love jar and the other Hate jar.
We put one jar in the dinning room window and the other jar in the kitchen window.
Every day for 3 weeks, we have been talking to the rice.
To the Love Jar, we have been saying loving words. "I Love you Rice. You are beautiful
white and fluffy." The the Hate jar we have been saying hateful things to the other jar.
"You are ugly. You are brown. No one likes you."
Over the three weeks, the once identical jars changed dramatically.
End Date: January 1, 2014
Words and thoughts really can and do change people.
Here is the link if you want to hear it again....and even try it!! This experiment has changed
the way we speak to one another at our house. Calmer, quieter, and kinder voices!
