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. Since Art of Eloquence uses humor to teach communication skills, we'd like to bring in some people who use humor in their business or ministry. In order to make the most of this...
A while back, I posted, Did you really want to say THAT on Facebook? so when an obscure Facebook "friend" posted this on my wall, the idea for Did you really want to DO that on Facebook? was birthed. It happens occasionally on Facebook. I call it the I've Got a Christian Cause so the Ends Justifies the Means Disease. This is where people send you a friend request and then never interact with you. They never reply to or "like" any of your posts, never answer when you post on theirs, never post on your wall UNTIL...they begin asking for help with their ministry/business. I don't mind if, once in a while, one of my Facebook friends lets me know...
August is National Win with Civility Month! With all the horrible things you hear people say to each other these days, isn't this a wonderful thought? How can we celebrate this month? What can we do to further civility in America and around the world? Let's not compromise our beliefs or leave unsaid the things that should be said, but let's find ways to promote civility this month. Not like these guys to my left here! lol I posted about this on my Facebook wall last year asking folks to repost it on their FB wall in support of civility and was disappointed it didn't get as much participation. This year, I'd love to get more support for civility and...
If you've been on Facebook for a while, you have probably come across a post or two that brought to mind the following question: "Did you really want to say THAT on Facebook?" I ran across two such issues this week. Sally Socialite: Posted on a Facebook group of about 4000 people was a notification that one of its members was leaving. She said she was a member of a few other active groups, one of them had to go and THIS one was it. She wished everyone well and informed them that she would formally leave in two days. While she had left a few comments, she wasn't the moderator or even a regular contributor. So announcing to almost...
Have you subscribed to Communication FUNdamentals’ RSS Feed? Don’t miss a post! x It's Communication FUNdamentals Week and I hope you've been enjoying many giggles over the last few days. Laughter is essential and not only to the learning process as we were discussion earlier, but to our health. They say laughter is the best medicine. You should have several doses per day! I love making people laugh. I do it with my kids. In fact, my son has gotten so used to it that he often says, "Mommy, say something funny!" No pressure or anything! ROFL Well, in case you haven't been reading my blog, my articles, my Facebook fan page, my newsletter or my studies, (shudder, the thought!)...
