"Are you getting through?"

Recently my email malfunctioned. Only I didn’t know it.

You see, everything looked fine on my computer. I received email from others great. I get lots of email daily including documents from coaching clients who are working on their assignments for our next time together. And I replied to each of them in turn, responding to specific questions, and answering requests.

But then a couple whom I’m coaching to Stay Married Forever wrote asking about their Conflict Management Inventory results when I knew I had sent them. A business coaching client wrote to repeat a question I had responded to earlier. And a Life Coaching client emailed about rescheduling despite the fact that I had replied with a new date.

What I discovered was that while everything appeared fine—my replies were in my "sent" box—my email just wasn’t going out.

Today, you’ll try to communicate with someone and your message just won’t get through. You’ll understand what you’re saying, but that person won’t. Say it in a way that makes sense to the other person and you’ll make a life today.
