Have you been confused by all the hoo-rah about online communication? Are you baffled by the language you see being tossed around? Well, welcome to the new millennium. And rest assured: It is NOT you.

We are living in a time of tremendous change. You probably know that - but what you may not realize is that we have gone across a threshold and are now standing in a whole different era. The era we now live in has a new form of communication. And this new way of communicating is changing everything. It definitely qualifies as a paradigm shift.

The tricky thing is that most of us do not have a "brain area" which gives us a way to think about what's going on, and a way to participate. Once you realize that you are literally creating a new brain area when you learn online communication, it does get easier. It even becomes fun. That's a promise.

These new HubPages I am publishing will point you towards the easiest route to begin to include yourself in the vast conversation going on online. I am creating audio and video to help you through the learning curves, as well as some online courses you can download. But for now, I'd like you to take a deep breath, smile, shrug your shoulders and relax. We live in a changed world. It is natural to feel a little bit stressed about how to proceed.

The good news is that we have in our hands the technology to connect - in meaningful ways. We can connect around any topic we choose. You can use new media to job seek, for example. You can use it to attract a community of people around your product or your creative expression. Technology has finally become what it promised long ago: A streamlined vehicle for carrying our wishes into reality. Don't worry. That's as poetic as I will wax. It's true: we have a very good set of tools now, which just about anyone can access.

So you go do something fun right now. Give your brain a good break, and when you're ready, you can take a look at a few things on my menu here. I've created these all for you. I hope you will use them, and I sure hope you'll let me know how it goes. I want you in this conversation!

Back from your break? Okay. First I am going to send you to my "Google Profile." I use this simple tool as a way to display all of my offerings. Later on, I will teach you how to have one of these for yourself. For now, I want you to follow this link: My Google Profile -- And once you are there, look at the column on the right to find my audio. That's a great place to start. Then you can come back to my Google Profile and find more ways to learn. Most of them are offered at no charge to help you along with your process.

No worries, right? Just smile, relax, and take one thing at a time. It will all be worth it.

All the very best,

Suzanna Stinnett
