Like anything in life Denise, you take small steps to start. You run into someone you start with “Its a beautiful sunny day out isnt it?” or “Man, this rain sucks today huh?” Then the other person will hopefully fire back some kind of reply. Then maybe next time set your goal with same person to say “Hows your day going” Or if you meet someone new “Did you hear the news the other day about ___” Or keep your eyes open to what they are wearing. “I like your tattoos, gonna get more?” Or “Your looking in shape, you hitting the gym around here”.

The Goal is to think about new and interesting things to talk about. Over time it will get easy and you will be able to find out what works and what doesnt. “When picking up the heavy sword at first it seems difficult, but everything does at first”-Book of Five Rings.
