Get Connected-No Strings Attatched

I've been noticing just how small our planet is. Google is a very common search engine, and many people (including moi) have typed their very own name into that all knowing white rectangle box. I came up on numerous social networking sites many that I had forgotten I had membership too. I also appeared on other people's sites as well, people I don't even know!!

For example, the following is a real link provided when I Googled my name --> http://explore.twitter.com/superfoodexpert

I'm not a super food expert! How did I get on their on site. Well despite my popularity on Google lol, I find it quite alarming just how willing many of us are to expose ourselves on the internet. Whatever happened to our childlike mantra of "stranger danger"? Now provided you are an adult, by all means you are free to be whomever you wish. But why only have such a cavalier attitude on the net?

I know that it's been said over and over again, but the power of a smile, handshake or even a hug is undeniable. These actions benefit not only the recipient but also the giver. Be the giver. We give ourselves to the net, people enter our lives through computer screens. Why not let them enter face to face. The next time you find someone staring at you, don't cringe or turn away. Smile and perhaps send a friendly hello their way. They were obviously hoping to take a piece of you, be generous and share. It doesn't cost a thing to smile or Google yourself.
Live Abundantly and in Peace
