Consumer vs. Producer

Inspired by my pal Isrut's New Years  post in conjunction with an email from Ramit Sethi where he begs that in 2011 we: 



Stop blindly consuming in 2011. If you're not getting benefits from any blogs, newsletters, TV shows, WHATEVER, unsubscribe and stop watching. (Even my emails -- if you're not benefiting from my material, the unsubscribe link is at the bottom of this email.) Anyone can consume. Few can produce

I got to thinking...what have I done over the past six months (and stuck with) that makes me a producer? Want to be depressed a little more? Take a look at this little ditty. Any time you're consuming and not producing, you're taking a loss. Eeek.

Now, let's not let this get out of hand- we all have to be consumers in some way, we need to eat, some place to call home, clothes to put on our backs, etc. but the Amazon app on my phone (did I mention that I love how easy it is to use!?!?!) needs to collect a few cobwebs.

I'm going to give this yoga vlog thing another shot...but change it up (which rules, because I HATE the word vlog.) In it's original form I was pigeon holed into ONE kind of service. This way, I can leave the yoga stuffs up there AND post other things I'm up to. I've renamed it- Fifteen Stinkin' Minutes. (Plain Old fifteenminutes.blogspot.com was already taken...and I see it's being used for current events...jerk.)

So count em. That's three blogs. I'm too much...

I am all for being a producer and not a consumer. I even went so far this year as to only give hand made gifts for Christmas. It felt GREAT!!
