I have a friend who I've known for a really long time. If I ever needed something: a ride to the airport, help with a flat tire, an opinion on a career issue, even a pair of extra hands on moving day, I know he would be there. However, there's one thing I've really noticed about him, and many others I'm acquainted with: their communication skills have fallen victim to our non-personal technological age.



Here's an example: I was sitting at home the other evening watching the NBA…

How often do you ask for what you want? Better yet, do you get what you ask for? We as women have a module on the power and importance of asking for what you want.

Walking Away

There are no rewards for walking away,

And only through staying brings a brighter day.

Patience, endurance, preservation and resolution,

Is the only sure way and the only solution.

There are no rewards for walking away,

Why does it appear to be easier than stay?

Only to leave and be so far apart.

There are no rewards for walking…
