If you are a seasoned subscriber here on Communication FUNdamentals, you will remember that this is something I had done on a weekly basis years ago. Much of communication is not in the words we use, but in our body language, eye contact, gestures, tone of voice, etc. To celebrate this, I want each of you to post a picture on your own blog or Facebook wall or wherever and come back here and post a comment with a link to it. It can be anything from a beautiful scene to a picture of your kids, a picture of you as a child, an animal or your favorite thing! Just make sure it's family friendly, please! Let's all share a...

Actually, I answer all emails as they come in, but each month I like to take a few and post them here because the answers to some of the issues and questions are beneficial to so many more.

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?
