Hi, I’m Janice Sumner, and this is TheWildWords.com—my personal blog for the thoughts that don’t fit neatly in a box. I created this space because words can do two powerful things at once: they can tell the truth, and they can set you free.
The Wild Words is where I share reflections, lessons, and small sparks of insight from everyday life. Some posts are calm and grounding. Some are bold and curious. But they all come from the same place: a love for language, a respect for honest growth, and the belief that we don’t have to have everything figured out to begin.
What you’ll find here
- Personal reflections: real-life thoughts written with clarity and heart.
- Creative voice: words that help you see things differently and feel more connected to yourself.
- Simple life lessons: gentle perspective shifts that make daily life feel lighter.
- Encouragement without the fluff: honest writing that meets you where you are.
Why “The Wild Words”?
Because the best words are a little wild. They’re alive. They don’t always arrive polished. They show up when you’re brave enough to say what you mean and mean what you say. Here, “wild” doesn’t mean chaotic—it means true, untamed, and real.
A small promise
- I’ll write with sincerity, not performance.
- I’ll choose clarity over clutter.
- I’ll keep this space human, warm, and worth your time.
Thanks for being here. If you’ve ever felt like you had something inside you that needed words, you’re in the right place.
