I was named one of the Top 50 Most Powerful
& Influential Women in Social Media!
I had not even realize I was nominated but my twitter
friends began pouring in the congrats to let me know
I had made this presitgious list! Number 39 of 50 and
being listed with these Super Women is such an honor!
Come See! http://ping.fm/gfE1U
and the best part is I know almost all of the other
50 and will make SURE to connect with those I did not
already know who made this list. Thanks to Amy for
nominating me and all who made this possible!
Got to see my now 5 month old CHUBBY ( 13 pound! )
grandson, Brayden, Tuesday - he is getting so big
and still loves his Grandma. He was "okay" with
being held by the others in the house but was
happiest when I had him, hmmm, wonder if he can
feel the special bond that ONLY Grand Parents
have with their grand kids? I am SO in love with
him and my turning three in January grand daughter,
Princess Madison. NOW I know without a doubt why
I exist. *SMILE*

10 Ways To Empower Your Communication
There is so much more to know about conversation than
most of us could ever realize. You can go learn from
watching talk shows, radio programs, clubs dedicated
to public speaking, ordinary conversations, etc.
Certain rules seem to apply when it comes to
interaction through words.
It may sound tedious, I know, but even though it's your
mouth that's doing the work, your brain works twice as
hard to churn out a lot of things you know. So what
better way to start learning to be an effective
communication than to know the very person closest
to you: yourself?
1. What you know.
Education is all about learning the basics, but to be
an effective speaker you must practice what you've learned.
We all have our limitations, but that doesn't mean we
can't learn to keep up and share what we know.
2. Listening.
It's just as important as asking questions. Sometimes
listening to the sound of our own voice can teach us
to be a little bit confident with ourselves and to say
the things we believe in with conviction.
3. Humility
We all make mistakes, and sometimes we tend to slur our
words, stutter, and probably mispronounce certain words
even though we know what we means to say. So, in a group,
don't be afraid to ask if you're saying the word properly
and if they're unsure about it as well, you can make a joke
out of it. At worst it will make everyone laugh and make
the atmosphere more relaxed for all of you.
4. Eye Contact
There's a lot to say when it comes to directing your
attention to your audience with an eye-catching gaze.
It's important that you keep your focus when talking
to a large group in a meeting or a gathering, even
though to some, like ME, a large group can seem
intimidating.
5. Kidding around
A little bit of humor can do wonders to lift the tension,
or worse, boredom when making your speech. You'll get the
attention of the majority of the crowd and they'll feel
that you're just as approachable, and as human as they are.
6. Be like the rest of them
Interaction is all about mingling with other people.
You'll get a lot of ideas, as well as knowing what
makes other people who they are.
7. Me, Myself, and I
Admit it, there are times you sing to yourself in the
shower. I know I do! Listening to the sound of your own
voice while you practice your speech in front of a mirror
can help correct the stress areas of your pitch. And while
you're at it you can spruce up as well.
8. With a smile
A smile says it all, much like eye contact. There's no
point on grimacing or frowning in a meeting or a gathering,
unless it's a wake. You can better express what you're
saying when you smile. Most people DO react to a smile.
9. A Role Model
There must be at least one or two people in your life
you have listened to when they're at a public gathering,
meeting or maybe at church. Even if they read their lines,
taking a mental note of how they emphasize what they say
can help you once you take center stage.
10. Preparation
Make the best out of preparation rather than just
scribbling notes. Some people like to write things
down on index cards, while other resort to being a
little more silly as they look at their notes written
on the palm of their hand. Just be comfortable with
what you know since you enjoy your work.
And that about wraps it up. These suggestions are rather
amateurish but I've learned to empower myself when it comes
to public or private speaking and it never hurts to be with
people to listen how they make conversations and meetings
far more enjoyable as well as educational.
I, personally, am much better at one on one conversations
and not really comfortable talking to more than a few
people I know well so tend to focus ON the one or more
persons I DO KNOW and kind of ignore the group over-all.
This might not be the best way, but it IS my way, lol.

Positive Quotes
I love the man that can smile in trouble,
that can gather strength from distress,
and grow brave by reflection.
-- Thomas Paine (1737-1809) British-American Writer

Rely on the ordinary virtues that intelligent,
balanced human beings have relied on for centuries:
common sense, thrift, realistic expectations, patience,
and perseverance.

Feedback
Although I am very new to Rim Digest and really enjoy
reading it, the thing that drew me to it was Jan herself.
I found Jan (or she found me) on Twitter. I immediately
could tell she had a heart of gold. The thing that I so
appreciate is that she cares about what she writes and she
really cares about us, her subscribers. I know that I can
trust whatever she includes in her e-zine, which is huge
in this information age. As a result Jan has become my
e-zine mentor. Thank
you Jan --- you're the best!
