shoQue topiX

There are some things in this life that are not so comfortable to broach. Rather than discuss, we skirt around them. When we realize all are consumed with being ill at ease, a new topic will surface. The elephant in the room continues to advance while the distressing subject recedes the same space. Recognizing thatContinue reading “shoQue topiX”

iTz onLee reLatyve

When something is said, the meaning varies from one person to the next. It’s really interesting that the area you are from may make a conversation different. Certain verbiage is spoken in one place that is not spoken somewhere else. These two people could be having a conversation, and coming away with two very differentContinue reading “iTz onLee reLatyve”

konVursashun pEesce offirWreng

‘Just making conversation’! This phrase is said when an awkward moment comes up, or something odd is voiced. During those times when a person is not sure what to say, say nothing! There is not a thing wrong with that. Also, there isn’t anything worse than making a comment and immediately regretting it. The wordsContinue reading “konVursashun pEesce offirWreng”

Nd uV discussChun

Why is it when one person has no more to say, the other individual will not stop talking? This is a prime example of being on two different pages. Some believe if they continue speaking, they’ve ‘won’ or they are ‘right’. Not true. Seeing eye to eye with someone else truly is a rare conversationalContinue reading “Nd uV discussChun”

koMeCon gamE

You’ve heard the saying, “I’m just kidding”, right? There are so many bluffs when it comes to conversation. The embellishment or fabrication brings so much more ‘flavor’ to communication than the actual boring facts! Isn’t that interesting? So many people are seeking a juicy story. Most would rather dress up a situation than to tellContinue reading “koMeCon gamE”

traYne Uv thaWght

The mind is a very serious thing. We are constantly in thought. So many issues consume our attention. When in conversation, we are talking and reasoning simultaneously, words thoughts and actions get jumbled! I’m sure you’ve said or heard another person say ‘I lost my train of thought’. This is due to our brain multi-tasking!Continue reading “traYne Uv thaWght”

woTch yUr moWth

We say things sometimes with absolutely no thought. It can often be distressing to another individual. The issue with that is we can’t ‘un-say’ it. Once something has been put out into the universe, there is no reverse! We can say “I didn’t mean to say this or do that”…what’s done is done. The careContinue reading “woTch yUr moWth”

RetUrn two cEntre

“I lost my train of thought”. “What was I saying?” I don’t know about you, but I ask these and other questions to myself (yes, I talk to self…such a treat). I sometimes ask the same questions when engaged in conversation with others. We should remember to be centered in our being. Once we moveContinue reading “RetUrn two cEntre”

Swept uttEr the wRugg

There is a code of silence about some concerns with people. Under no circumstance is this subject to be broached. It is essentially removing any and all conversation pertaining to the topic. When a subject of such secrecy is referenced, all who are aware knows what ‘not to do or say’. No one wants toContinue reading “Swept uttEr the wRugg”

RebelL withOut b-Cause

I can recall a time questioning something on a job, and was told I was a ‘rebel’. That concerned me because I was merely inquiring. Defenses can be put up against so many things. As a result, so much is distorted in conversation. Individuals mostly want to discern the information before them. A mis-understanding canContinue reading “RebelL withOut b-Cause”
