Episode 138 It’s Disturbing And I Are One!

Okay, I have to laugh, it's disturbing...and yet it is what it is! Yes, I am talking about our obsession with our mobile devices and as disturbing as it is for me to always see people on their devices rather than talking to each other...I am guilty of being one of 'them' at the movie theater the other night...you have to listen to hear the whole story! Disturbing because it is causing us to dis-associate with each other rather than truly engaging.  You see it in the restaurants, people looking at their phones rather than each other.  I informed my husband had we been in this environment when we were first dating, probably would not be married today.  I mean he's always looking at his phone! Finally, I have him understanding that nothing infuriates me more than having him pull his phone out to check scores or to research something.  Now, he let's me know if we are discussing something and he pulls out his phone that is in direct response to that conversation... Yes, we're into our 17th year of marriage so not so much gazing in each other's moonstruck eyes any more, but just being present really goes a long way in keeping the home fires warm and the coals still embers at least!  You know what I mean! Okay, so if you listen to this show you'll know that I transition a bit and talk about the effect social media is having on connecting people, everything we do is mobile right including our social media connecting.  Well, my awesome friend Debbie Saviano who you'll hear from on the 15th has created a brilliant strategy on how to personally meet your social media friends.  Watch this recent Hot Tips For Biz Show and you will be soooo excited about the possibilities it might create for you, too!!!! AWESOME. Speaking of AWESOME, thanks for being an AWESOME listener, without you and your listening none of my stuff would mean squat! Passing On A Smile,
