“If one removes negativity, gossip, slander and divisiveness from one’s vocabulary, one automatically and dramatically improves one’s own life and the lives of everyone in one’s environment.” ~ Chofetz Chaim

* I am adding Shmiras Haloshon as a new category on this blog.  It is so important to “guard your tongue” and I think we can all use a reminder every now and then.  The above quote is from the book, Chofetz Chaim, A Lesson A Day by R’ Shimon Finkelman and R’ Yotzchak Berkowitz which is based on the Chofetz Chaim’s teachings.
