Mindful Souls Affirmation Card: Speak With Purpose
Positive Message: When I speak, I choose my words carefully, knowing they can linger long after I’ve said them. That’s why I aim to speak with purpose and kindness, leaving a positive impact wherever I go.
Today’s Challenge: Choose something meaningful to you. Write a brief speech about it.
We often think of words as simple tools — a way to communicate, connect, fill silence, or get things done. Yet every now and again a reminder like Speak With Purpose comes along to tap us gently on the shoulder and whisper, “Your words are not just tools — they’re seeds.” Seeds that take root in minds, hearts, and memories. Seeds that may sprout long after we’ve moved on.
I’ve long known words have power, influencing more than we realize. I was taught to choose my words carefully, and I try to live by that. Still, I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t always understand just how deeply they could ripple. It wasn’t until I began writing these blogs — sending my thoughts out to people I may never meet — that I felt the true weight and privilege of being someone who speaks and writes with purpose.
The moment I hit “send” on each post, I’m reminded that words don’t just travel — they transform. Not just my readers, but me. They reflect back what I value, remind me of what I’ve learned, and challenge me to stay aligned with my deepest intentions. I believe we all have this power to shape reality through the things we say and the way we say them.
Here’s my response to today’s challenge:
“I stand here today grateful for the opportunity to speak, to write, and to witness the power of language in action. Each time I share a story, a lesson, or a moment of truth, I do so with the hope that it uplifts someone in their journey — whether they are standing in confidence or finding their way toward the light. May my words remind others of their strength, spark their curiosity, and encourage them to become even more of who they’re called to be. I do not take lightly the gift of being able to empower another soul simply through language. May I always use that gift wisely — with love, clarity, and integrity — and may I always speak with purpose.”
This card reminds us that speaking with purpose is not about using fancy words — it’s about using aligned ones. It’s about asking ourselves: Am I speaking to be heard? Or am I speaking to make a difference?
So today, I invite you to take on this challenge with me.
Choose something meaningful to you — a value, a life lesson, a relationship, a dream — and write a brief speech about it. Let your intention guide your words. Let your words reflect your purpose. And then… watch how your energy shifts when you speak from that place.
May we all leave a positive impact wherever we go — planting seeds of purpose with every word we share.

Hello! I am Theresa Martinez-Shapiro; Wife to Robert. Founder of Flexible Being. A Master Reiki Therapist, Certified Oracle Guide, Spiritual Mentor/Guide, Intuitive Empath, Coach, and Educator. I am a fur mom to 3 cats and 1 dog – Sonny, Patches, Ryelee, and Winnie. We currently live and practice in Stockton, California. We operate three businesses – Shapiro Holistic Health and Chiropractic, Fusion Health APC, and Synergy Health MSO, where we seek to improve and change the lives of our patients and those we have the privilege of crossing paths with. My healing and mentoring journey began around 5 years old when I discovered that I was put on this planet to help others. I knew I was different, unique, and gifted. I did not see the world the same way everyone else did, and recognized I was meant to do so much more. I began to research, spending a lot of time reading & asking a lot of questions to anyone that wanted to share stories about their life experiences. I am a dreamer and had a unique relationship with the dream world. My very real, vivid & lucid dreams began turning into out-of-body experiences and unexplained occurrences. I began doing my own dream interpretations to look for patterns & a new way of deciphering life. Family members were part of many different religions, so I was educated in Catholicism, Buddhism, Metaphysics, and Native American culture & beliefs. Along the way, I took up multiple mentors that cultivated my growth and expansion of my gifts, allowing me to focus on my potential and purpose. As an adult, coworkers were unloading their life stories, internal secrets, and things that had not been shared or even spoken out loud. I began to share those experiences with my aunt & Reiki Master/Teacher, Carmen. In 2012, Carmen told me, “I think you are ready to walk the path I always knew you were meant to walk”. That saying began my obsessive journey into Reiki, Spirituality, Psychology, Intuition and Psychic gifts, Meditation and Mindfulness, Past Lives, Consciousness, Energy Medicine, Mysteries of the Universe, Moon and Sun cycles, Astrology, Numerology, Oracle Cards, Shamanism, & so much more. My journey has helped me to assist patients, clients, families, and friends discover who they have been, who they are, and who they want to become. I am expanding my reach and educating others by authoring Musings of a Flexible Being, and I look forward to sharing my journey with you. Thank you!
