Welcome to the simple Sophisticate Podcast, where intelligent living is paired with signature style.

I'm your host, Shannon Ables.

And whether you're listening on your commute, exercising, working in the garden, or sitting down with a hot cup of tea or a

cafe ole, thank you for tuning in. Let's get started. The Welcome to the 38th episode of the Simple Sophisticate.

Today we are finishing up a three-part series that we started back in March. You may remember in

episode 30 we talked about cell phone etiquette or mastering our cell phones being

able to take care and use it as a way to grow our relationships and foster them rather than

to be controlled by all those dings and pings and notifications. And then in April in

episode 34 we talked about email etiquette. So today in the third and

final episode of this particular series we are wrapping it up and talking about

texting a very very informal way of, but a very helpful way of communicating

if we do it right.

So today, what I'd like to talk about

are nine different ways to master our texting and making sure that we don't become overwhelmed by it or begin to build

relationships without substance by using it. But before I jump into those nine do's and

don't of texting, I want to give you a quick peek into what today's patie pleasure is.

It is one of my favorite afternoon snacks and it's simple but it will provide an

opportunity that will restore you so you can go back to the rest of your day and

finish it strong. All right let's get back to the third part

in the Life and Text series, Texting Eticate

101.

Here we go.
