We

career’ and the wonderful people he got to know
in this career.” |

Julie
Lynch, St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, has
authored a book: Cherishing Sophia.. It celebrates communication
theory in the areas of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and listening
and takes readers into the rhetoric of silence, or contemplative
listening space in order to transform and affect others with
meaningful actions of love and compassion. Cherishing Sophia
balances academics with heartfelt, intuitive knowledge. The
journey refers to the International Listening Association
and is reviewed by Nanette Johnson-Curiskis, Executive Director
of ILA. It focuses on listening excellence and transcendence
in order to find authentic voice. It's been well-received
by students at College of St. Benedict and St. John's University
as a powerful means of classroom discussion. The book will
be available at ILA in March along with its discussion/study
resource. You may also view the book at www.cherishingsophia.com
Congratulations
to all as this month quickly moves toward March and Portland!
