Every week, I publish a “Word Poem” where I create a new definition to a common word.

As a corporate communications professional and creative writer, I always keep a dictionary nearby.

Did you know that there are over 1 million words in the American English language? Each word has its own set of denotations and connotations or semantics and pragmatics. And new words are being created every day! To count the total number of meanings would be like measuring the distance to the next galaxy. We can start with the words we use every day and explore new usages to communicate more clearly, effectively, and honestly with each other. The perfect word to describe your current mood or feeling may not even exist yet, but it will.

For a list of words further defined and explored here, view the entries from Julia’s Dictionary below.
