Communication is a funny thing. Ever since we arrived here on earth we have been Doing it. One could even argue successfully. Not me. I would argue we did it better before we “learned how”.

In the beginning, we didn’t need words. Our needs were made known clearly with a simple whimper or screeching cry. As we became older we were given words to help us communicate our needs. Shortly after that, we learned society’s approval or rejection of our needs and so we began complicating what we truly wanted to accompany the much sought after approval. This approval desire can become the life long struggle to true communication but that is another blog! That is just the beginning of the humor. It gets truly complicated. So where do we start?

We are all communicating, all day, every day, in myriad ways. EVERYTHING is about communication. The billboard and the pop up ad, the

So why is it we rarely give thought to exactly what we are communicating …much less how we are communicating it? Oh sure, we try to choose our words carefully, we rehearse in our head just what we are going to say over and over and over, we even write it down to make sure it is “right” but are we truly aware of the feelings our word choices have to the one experiencing them? Have we given any thought to the volume we speak them in or to our true intention behind what we are saying? Have we given credence to the place or time we choose to say them? Or are we verbally vomiting out our ‘feelings’ to another with no regard to theres?

So much communication that no one seems to be able to truly connect and resonate with another in person.
