Welcome to Full Voice – a blog exploring, celebrating, and provoking more vivid expressions
What is Full Voice?
Full voice is having all of the colors and sounds available to paint your words with meaning.
Full voice means knowing how to listen to the essential cues underneath people’s words.
It gives you the tools to pay exquisite attention to all that voices say.
Full voice isn’t a skill you acquire.
It’s learning how to remove the barriers that block your true voice from emerging.
It’s speaking your truth,
singing your song,
stepping into the light,
and feeling wildly alive.
Full voice is also a key to transforming our relationships with each other and this beautiful planet we share.
Now more than ever, everyone’s gifts are calling to be expressed in service to our common good. Unless we give voice to these gifts – literally and metaphorically — they lie dormant and unexpressed.
So, welcome to Full Voice.
I look forward to hearing your voice here.
Barbara

Full Voice -- Barbara McAfee 
As someone who is just beginning to embrace the joyous possibilities inherent in developing my own voice (both literally AND metaphorically), I am astonished to find your blog! I’ve been silent for a long time, and your words give me courage. My voice is emerging through written journals, and I want to learn more spontaneity — I can always edit my writing; I want to be able to speak, unedited!
I’m happy to hear about your emerging voice! I started with years of journaling as well. It helped me find the voice inside so when it was time to put it into the world, I actually knew more about what I wanted to say. I look forward to more “conversation” here!
