Effective communication skills are important for everyone every day. Interview with a Communicator is a column I used to have here on Art of Eloquence many years ago to share how that works in the lives of different people around the world. Here is a recent interview I did with a Facebook friend, Tanya Art. Tanya leads a support group on Facebook she started three years ago. She encourages others, like herself, who deal with Fibromyalgia. She is an encouragement to others she calls Fibro Warriors. I find that most people think of communication only in terms of formal speech and debate so I asked Tanya what role does speech and debate play in her everyday life. I don't do a...

That's the love of our Lord and Savoir. x I pray you have had a blessed time this past month leading up to this day. Merry CHRISTmas from all of...
