Communication is the very life blood and foundation of a good and solid relationship, but it comes in two parts.
It’s sad to say that the latter part is often neglected, because we only listen to respond and often fail to hear or understand.
“Smash bash bang crash crunch
Time passes in slow motion
Still alive breathing”
Normal I like Fridays, but yesterday was definitely an exception.
My 9 year old daughter was knocked of her bike by a car on the way back from school. She escaped with a few scrapes and bruises which was good. I’m so glad we’ve made her wear a fully face downhill style helmet. It saved her chin and face from sliding along the road.
When we are in the middle of a heated debate, it’s tough to stay objective, especially when it’s about behaviour and starts to feel like a personal attack.
We all have to accept that unfortunately people are not perfect and that includes us, our partner(s) or partner’s partner(s). We are all by our human definition creatures ruled and driven by our emotions.

I book marked this piece for a repost many months ago. It struck a deep cord with me, take a look and see what you think…

It’s time for another communication post and this one can be a very unpleasant experience.
“Other peoples shit”

Quite some time back I wrote a post on this subject and it’s actually been one of my most viewed posts ever since. Not a day goes by without it being viewed.
Do you know how to spot a drama llama?
Do you know exactly what a drama llama is?
Well for those not familiar with the term it’s commonly defined as a person who randomly throws their own personal dramas on others, in the same way that a llama randomly spits.
“Oh no, here comes the drama llama! I haven’t finished cleaning up from the last time they spat their drama on me!”
This is the third post in my communication series and probably likely to be considered a little contentious. That’s not a problem in itself and I hope that it makes anyone that reads it think twice about how an emotional feeling develops inside us all.
Emotions are sometimes simple and other times mixed up and extremely complicated. What they all have in common is their source. All emotions come from within us and are driven by a combination of social conditioning, past experience and our own personal natural view, perspective and inclinations.
