"Come, my children, listen to me, and I will teach you to fear Hashem. Who is the man who desires life, to love each day and see only goodness in them? Let him then guard his tongue from speaking evil and his lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do what is good, desire peace and pursue it."    Tehillim 34

Shmirat Halashon literally means "guarding the tongue."  If we as women can learn the mitzvah of guarding our tongues, then we will have holy homes, holy communities and we will truly be wellsprings of life.
