What's your story? What's your message? What are your facebook posts about? If you could gather a little audience to listen to you give a speech, what would you want us to hear?
My dad used to say "what the heck are you talking about?" I thought I was expressing myself clearly, but apparently not. Sometimes in astro sessions a client will say "could you say that again a different way?" I used to be offended when someone didn't understand me. Now I've learned that I am willing to find the words that work for my listener. I will say it a different way, because the point is not just to say what I think. Communication requires dialogue, give and take of ideas, clarification and translation. So that you get my message and I get yours.
It's essential that you know what your message is, what the story is that your life is telling. Life makes much more sense that way. And then you can listen well, and hear the urgent voices of the people in your life. Essentially, we are all saying "see me, hear me, respect and appreciate me". The message is: we love each other, and this is our life together.
