Last week I had the honor of co hosting a 15 minute segment of the Homemaking 911 Facebook party on Thursday night. I have seen postings for Facebook parties in the past several months and had considered it as an alternative to having our regular audio party on TalkShoe, but I had never been to one until last week. It was such fun! So now we have decided to put on our very own Facebook party in order to celebrate Art of Eloquence's 9th Anniversary in November.

We have a new feature here on Communication FUNdamentals called Interview with a Communicator. We all communicate every day of our lives and communication touches every aspect of it.

We've updated all our sample lessons! Over the last year, I have been working almost exclusively on new communication studies, especially the ones that you have told us you needed. Over the year, we have released: Say What You Mean Debating the Issues Say What You Mean Overcoming Social Anxiety Say What You Mean Beginning Debate Say What You Mean Avoiding, Reducing and Resolving Conflicts This past year has left me precious little time to do some much needed revising of our website...and you all know how UNtechie I am.
