Sally Field aside,  it’s nice to be liked, and it’s not nice to be “Unliked.”  You get to hear just how geeky we get about social media, and how we deal with flaming or annoying posts while at the same time wondering how we might have accidentally created an annoying post ourselves.  (Are we paranoid or what? Typical!) Personally, I like to quote Bette Midler: “If they can’t take a joke, f*ck ’em.”  Please comment and give us how you deal with this issue.

Human beings love to gather stuff.  We like to be surrounded by things that inspire us and make us feel good.  But at what point does that wonderful eclectic collection of favored items become a mass of clutter ?   How much is too much ?   Does clutter give us a sense of security or does it keep us from moving forward.  And what about other peoples’ stuff ?  How do we release the stuff in a way that makes us feel good? What’s your prospective ?  Join us as we sort through our stuff. I Wouldn't Call It Clutter !? (Show #117) Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (3)
