Words matter (more than ever)

It’s fun watching my grandson Nathan figure out how to say his first words.

He’s so aware of everything around him.

As he scans the room, he’s soaking it all in like a human sponge.

When something grabs his attention, he emphatically points and grunts.

When he sees any truck, he squeals and points like crazy.

Occasionally he says the word clear as a bell.

Of course, he says mumma and dada a lot.

Bubba (his bottle) is his favorite word.

The other day he pointed at a Halloween decoration and said “SPY DER.”

He also tries to say witch, but most of the time the W comes out as a B.

Any day now, he’s going to put two or three words together and tell us exactly what’s on his mind.

Nathan will be a great verbal communicator very soon.

Communicating clearly is essential for all of us.

In our crazy, fast-paced world, communication is becoming a lost art.

For those of you who’ve been following me for a while know I’ve been on a mission to become a great writer.

I want to write great emails, sales copy and write great stories.
