Breast Cancer AWAREness?

Continuing with my series, “What Does Your _____ Say About You?” Here is another article I wrote a while back that addresses the example we set and what we communicate even if it's for a good cause.  What Does Your Post Say About You? Breast Cancer AWAREness? by JoJo Tabares Every year around this time, I receive an inordinate number of private messages from Facebook friends about Breast Cancer Awareness. So many apparently see this as a fun way to promote a worthy cause, the elimination of breast cancer which affects many women, so why do I have such a problem with it? 1. It does NOT promote awareness. A few years ago I was asked to post the color...

Are you a good Christian Example on Facebook?

I'm starting a new series on the blog called, "What Does Your _____ Say About You?" I'm going to highlight some of the things we may not think about when we consider communication. However, this is especially important as we consider what kind of Christain example we are as we go through our day.  Here is an article I wrote a while back for Examiner.com.  So...What does your Facebook Page Say About You? Are You  a Good Christian Example on Facebook? By JoJo Tabares “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part...

It's Innovation/Discovery Week!

Today is Columbus Day which is celebrated annually on the second Monday of October and remembers Christopher Columbus' arrival to the Americas on October 12, 1492. His travels to America was a testiment to innovation and discovery so I've declared this week to be innovation and discovery week here on the Art of Eloquence blog.  I can do that; it's my blog! ROFL Today I'm going to share a few innovations of my own, but before that let me tell you what's coming up this week: On Wednesday, I'll have a post celebrating another innovation, the anniversary of the very first two way phone conversation.  If you're a homeschooler, you'll love this one as I have a video coming explaining...

Is there such a thing as a stupid question? I think there is and here's why.

Yesterday was Ask a Stupid Question Day.  Which always gets me thinking.  There is a saying that the only stupid question is the one that isn't asked.  While I believe, if you truly seek to understand, there probaby is a place for your question, I beg to differ that no questions are stupid. There are, indeed, stupid questions that should never be asked, questions that actually hurt others.  Here's what I mean.  There are three main types of (stupid) questions that should never be asked: 1. Questions that seek to show someone up As a homeschooler for over 13 years, I've been asked some really dumb questions. Most of them where from people who didn't approve of homeschooling.  They weren't...

Support an Author Day

A most beloved author, Dr. Seuss,  died on this day in 1991.  As I reflected on how much joy this author brought to me and my children over the years even after his death, I found an obscure blog post by an author who dubbed a day back in August as Support an Author Day and asked everyone to like his Facebook Fan page.  That's all it said, but it got me thinking. Do you know an author?  I'll bet you do. Even if he or she doesn't have an agent or get paid for his or her work, you've seen them on Facebook and Twitter. These are folks who take the time to write up their own, unique insights...
