Mailbag Monday...On Wednesday!

I usually reserve the last Monday of the month for Mailbag Monday, but since I had a rather timely announcement to make this Monday, I decided to post Mailbag Monday on Wednesday and mix things you up a bit. Warning!  Reading Mailbag Monday on Wednesday may cause a feeling of Wednesday on Friday.  Do not read Mailbag Monday on Wednesday if you have a history of premature weekends or are pregnant as this may cause an unsafe drop memory. This month I posted a great deal of articles both here on Communication FUNdamentals and on my newsletter.  I've been beefing up my columns and apparently you all have enjoyed them.  So this month's Mailbag Monday (on Wednesday) is a sort...

Word Wednesday: I Sneezed a Sneeze

I'm starting a new tradition here at Communication FUNdamentals.  It's Word Wednesday.  Not to be confused with Wordy Wednesday or Wordless Wednesday.  This is the day I am going to post a fun use of words, new word, old word, fun word, or a creative use of words.  This week's entry is a video I found while scouring YouTube. Music can be another creative way to communicate our thoughts.  Praise and worship music are beautiful ways to express our love for God.  Ballads are a musical way to share our love or sadness.  And music can be used in a fun way to express our creativity, a chance to entertain and just have fun. This is called "I Sneezed a...
