Spring has sprung around the Communication Corner and Art of Eloquence so we have some brand new resources to share with you! 

For months I’ve been telling you that I’m going to be adding some new articles to the Art of Eloquence site.  You probably thought this day would never come but here it is!  How did this happen you ask?  Well, to be perfectly candid, I’m supposed to be writing some new eBooks but I hit a wee bit of writer’s block and I’m playing hooky from it for a few minutes.  I spruced up some of my old Tuesday Tips articles that were buried under mounds of old blog posts and popped them up on Art of Eloquence.  Violin!…I mean, viola!

I have a few of them up there for you, but here’s one I thought would be very timely.  With everyone trying to figure out this Twitter and Facebook thing, I thought I would point out one of my new articles that might help you communicate more effectively on social networking sites that allow limited space:  How to Say What You Mean in 140 Characters or Less!

Another great and FREE resource is my internet radio show, Grace Talk Soup.  Last Thursday was the first day of our new format with my new co-host!  The all new Grace Talk Soup stars Ethel the Editor and Lucy Linguist in “I Love Language”!  Don’t miss the fun each week!

Are you confident that you are being understood when speaking to your child's doctor?  Are you sure that they know exactly what you need when you finally get to the right menu option at your mortgage company?  Do you know why your small business isn't going where you feel it should?  Is it possibly because you aren't communicating skillfully and efficiently?
 
If it is . . . or if it even might be, you need to join us every Thursday morning on Grace Talk Soup for I Love Language, starring Lucy Linguist and Ethel the Editor.  Laugh along with these two crazy compadres of Communication FUNdamentals, one spoken and one written, while gaining valuable knowledge and important tips on improving your business, your family and your life, simply by refining your everyday communication skills. 
 
WHEN:     Every Thursday, 11AM Eastern, 8AM Pacific Time
WHERE:  http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/19736  
WHY?:      Because you cannot get through ONE DAY of your life without communicating something to someone!
 
Life is simply too precious to waste one more moment being misunderstood.  Lean how to say it and write it right the first time.  So if you are missing out because of miscommunication or not being taken seriously. . . or whether you simply love words, you will positively adore I Love Language every Thursday, same talk time, same talk channel!  Bring your kids, bring your husband, bring your friends.  Laugh and learn along with us!  We'll be waiting for you on Grace Talk Soup.  You can join us on the phone, in the chat room or both! 
 
 Remember:  Life can get a little spicy sometimes.  Just add a generous helping of grace, a dash of humor and Enjoy the Grace Talk Soup!
