Monday Q of the Wk. Here’s how it works: Each Monday I ask a thought provoking question about life. Pose the same question to your blog readers on your own blog along with your answer to the question. Then come back here and post a comment with a link to your blog post so we can all read everyone’s answers! It’s been a lot of fun getting to know my readers and their readers and so on and so on… This week’s question: Have you ever seen/been a FIMMpersonator? FIMM (Foot in Mouth Man) is the Art of Eloquence mascot and resident MIScommunicator. He sticks his foot in his mouth so often he has Athlete's Tongue! He is a cartoon...

Want a unique and special gift for Dad this year? Tell him exactly what he means to you! Words...it's...
Today is a very special Grace Talk Soup show (8am PST/11am EST) where we and our listeners will be sharing how to talk with someone who is grieving. Grief comes in many sizes and shapes. Having almost lost my daughter to a heart problem, a miscarriage and the miracle birth of my son which might have resulted in a lifetime of illness or death, I still cannot fathom some of the grief others go through.
