Who am I now?

I'm changed.

Consequences of doing it.....

The crazy thing.... It seems to be the things that matter less that blow up.  The things that you didn't think twice about because it was just whatever....like a recipe or an exercise regimen. How is it possible for those 2 things backfire.  Well, Susie had to go and make the damn recipe and realized she hated it and now, not only are you a bad cook, but a bad friend because you provided her with a recipe that was a mess and she can't believe that you would do that.  Now, this hasn't happened to me, but I know someone that is has happened to...  What the crap Susie, get a life and look on recipe.com or something... or better yet, stop asking people for recipes.  My point is that you never know what will tick someone off and how they will react. So, think about the things that you exchange before you exchange them.  Be proactive in your exchanging.  When in doubt, don't do it

How many time do you do it?

So, let's take my first question...

How often do we exchange things?  I would have to say at 10 times a day. That's crazy. Well, it is when you think about how people are always talking about be careful what you give people and who you give it to and yet we are giving away things at least 10 times a day.

Here is what I have exchanged so far today...

• A 10 dollar bill
• Schedule to set up a meeting (twice actually)
• Information on a particular topic
• Places in order to get to the other side of the room

...and it isn't even noon.  Now, I know all of these things are not super significant, but it does show that we exchange things all day long and don't think twice about it. Is is possible to exchange too much?  Whether it be ideas or phone numbers...  How often is too often? I'm not sure there is a magic number, but I do know that I try not to exchange things all willy nilly because it can come back to bite you in the back of the knee restricting your ability to walk.

It 's about time...

Last year, I created this blog for the sole reason of joining a challenge. As I was researching how to create, use, be effective with a blog... I was also at a point where I was exchanging a lot of things... clothes, ideas, items I bought... That got me to thinking about exchanging things. How often we do it, what it means when we do it, consequences, excitements, etc.
