My Crazy Life and The Blessings Within: Communication Series

Communication Series

When I studied communication in college, I found it completely fascinating. I loved learning about each little detail. As I get older, I love seeing those details come to life in my real adult world where communication is not just fascinating, but also necessary. Wait, let me correct myself, where EFFECTIVE communication is necessary.

I love this quote. I am going to take a minute to let you read it and really let it sink in.

Did you read it? Read it again. Now think about it for at least 30 seconds. Now that you have thought about it, are you reminded how important communication is?

I feel so strongly about this that I want to write a series about communication. I want to write about listening (a favorite topic of mine), understanding, writing, talking, non-verbal communication and who knows what else. I just want to help anyone who wants to read my thoughts and listen to anyone who wants to share their own.

I am going to start with listening and hope to have my thoughts posted by tomorrow. I touched on this topic on my post about Being the Right Person in your Relationships, but I am excited to really delve into it.

Over the next month, please check back in to see what I have added to this series.

Who Am I?

Who am I?
Isn’t that one of those questions you ask yourself in your mid-twenties? You think deeply about it and come up with some philosophical answer that defines you and your path. Well, at this point, I am not sure that I have the time or the desire to define myself with a deep philosophical definition. What I can tell you is that my mind has taught itself to think in a much simpler and direct way. So, who am I?

I am a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend, an aunt, a Godmother and a coworker. I am someone who puts in a load of laundry and may forget to hit the start button because the baby cried or a math homework problem needed some assistance. I am someone who loves that my son plays sports but still prays for rain every once in a while because we really could use a quiet night at home. I am someone who stays up later than planned because I am chatting with my older sister or I finally have the time and energy to clean the bathroom. Let’s not kid ourselves; I may also be up because I recently caught a Candy Crush addiction. We all like to think of ourselves as originals, and in some way we are, but I also know that I have many of the same joys and challenges as others. I hope you find that makes me relatable.
