I've been teaching communication skills both online and off since 2002 when I wrote my first study for homeschoolers called Say What You Mean for Teens! From there, I created this website where I have written several homeschool speech communication materials, several studies for adults, and written hundreds of blog posts! I've had several of my articles published by homeschool magazines like The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and Homeschooling Today and several of those articles have been picked up by Crosswalk .com and Dr Laura .com. Art of Eloquence materials have been awarded "Homeschool Approved" by The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and are endorsed by the Home School Legal Defense Association which links to my materials from their site.

We've been busy here at Art of Eloquence making changes in order to bring you even more incredible reasources. If you haven't been to the home page in a while, check out the changes there! But what I wanted to share with you today was this... x So I was sitting at my desk yesterday morning before church reading the Bible and contemplating what else I could do for my readers, subscribers and fans when the Lord put some incredible ideas into my head. They came one at a time to allow me to process the information and write it down. Isn't God amazing that way? Here's a short little blog post just to introduce them to you. x Brand...
We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog article series to bring you this Art of Eloquence special report! Guess who's had a facelift? Nope, not me. Though, at 49, it might not be such a bad idea. It's Art of Eloquence! Yes the brand new, redesigned Art of Eloquence website has finally gone live!
