Self Empowerment

The philolog's choice this month is the word,

empowerment.

Empower, a verb has 2 meanings: 1. to authorize, give power to; 2. to permit or allow.

This reminds me of enrichment, another powerful word.

Enrich, a verb, means to improve or make wealthy.

Example: I like to empower my clients to enrich themselves.

The Self Empowerment Class will take place next week, May 17, at 6:30PM at Unity Church of Palm Harbor. See Musinglog for details.

Thank you.
