Communication FUNdamentals

Reorganized my life at the request of my dh...

I thought you all might appreciate knowing why certain things will no longer be available and what things might be a wee bit different in the coming months.  After some soul searching and some discussion with my husband, this is the result.  So far the feedback I am receiving is pretty positive.  I have received many words of encouragement and several have indicated an agreement with my decision to honor my dh and his wishes as well as to put my family first.  Thank you all for your kind and gracious words.

  What's New at Art of Eloquence?

 

JoJo's Weekly Column 

 

 

 

Important News

This week has been an exciting week and a week of changes here at Art of Eloquence.  You may notice that the newsletter has had a facelift of sorts!  We pray this will make it easier for you to find the information you wish to read more about. 

 

The Say What You Mean Convention was a huge hit.  The feedback is that everyone had such fun!  We had 9 contests, 18 live events, 29 hours of instruction, 40+ audios still available, gave away over 400 ePackets of extra gifts to our registrants, and had over 1500 participants!  There are a few links to the right where you will find all of the audios and convention info. If you have any feedback on the SWMConvention, please email us at jojo@artofeloquence.com   

 

Art of Eloquence will be discontinuing a few things this month.  Over the last few years, I had built up quite a ministry which included a weekly podcast, a daily blog, 4 weekly newsletters, several Yahoo groups, weekly Foot in Mouth Man episodes, 3 annual online events,  one HUGE annual online convention to name a few.  At the request of my husband, I will be downsizing and simplifying many of these responsibilities in order to spend more time with my family.  I will continue to host the annual Say What You Mean Convention and my weekly podcast, however others will be done at longer intervals or will be eliminated.  

 

To that end, this newsletter will be the only one we put out. I will be incorporating elements of each of our 4 newsletters back into one weekly newsletter that will come out each Tuesday morning.  The newsletter will include a weekly column or article and links to various things I feel you would find enlightening: news items affecting the freedom of speech for Christians, a Friday Funny from my blog, etc. You can see this week's links on the right under AoE This Week. 

 

Foot in Mouth Man will go from weekly to monthly episodes and only the newest episodes and a hand full of past episodes will be available on his page on the Art of Eloquence website.  We have created a brand new eBook that is the greatest of FIMM in our new FIMMology 101: The Study of the Humorous Sins of Our Mouths.  You can read more about it by following the link on the right side under New Products.  See also our newest Online Classes! 

 

Lastly, Art of Eloquence will not continue selling hard copy titles after our current inventory runs out.  We will eventually be turning each of the following hard copy studies into an eBook version. We are having a 35% off sale in order to clear our shelves.    

 

Art of Eloquence Hard Copy Sale!

 

 

 35% OFF SALE!

 

Art of Eloquence will not be replacing our hard copy studies after our current inventory runs out.  We have a limited supply left of each title (one title has only two!) and we are offering 35% off each of them until they are gone.  Just order as usual and use voucher code 502093535 at checkout and it will automatically take off 35% from your order!

We are currently working to replace them as eBooks, but it will take us some time. There may be a lag time where some studies will not be available in either format.

I pray you enjoy the new look and the expanded content of the new What's New at Art of Eloquence eNewsletter.  I think there's something for everyone!

Feb. 10, 2009 - Congrats!

Posted by Anonymous
Am I aloud to say that? I applaud you (can you here my clapping). While I enjoy your podcasts, events, and FIMM, I am overjoyed to read that you have listened to what your husband said, prayed, digested, and then acted accordingly to what is best for your family. This is exactly what I teach. Downsizing & decluttering our lives of chaos may mean reducing or eliminating very good things from our lives. However, the priority list always comes first.

Thank you for being open about this. You may not know this, but by being transparent about the changes coming and why, you are ministering to us with the hear tof a Titus 2 woman. Thank You!

Thank you Leslie! Your comments are appreciated. I will continue my podcasts and but FIMM will be monthly instead of weekly. I do hope you all join me on Grace Talk Soup on Thursday. I would love to hear your thoughts as I announce this on my show. I have a great guest scheduled too!

Praise God for you too Leslie as you teach us to do these things that are sometimes difficult.

About Me

I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to homeschooling and sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll share news items, quotes, family friendly humor, tips, trivia, and my newest feature: Question of the Week. I invite you to come share your thoughts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more creative fun with JoJo you can visit www.ArtofEloquence.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." -Proverbs 25:11
