What if you could trade lives with a stranger for 24 hours?
Clothes, identification, cell phone, houses, partners, jobs, family and secrets?
What would you discover about them? About yourself?
While I was having my morning coffee, I was reading an article in the New York Post about a heterosexual, 28-year-old Italian artist that traded lives for 24 hours to be gay and Greek.
It made me think about how it would work in all our communities to discover how we could help one another.
What would someone feel after being me for 24 hours? Would they feel tortured? Bored? Happy? Sad?
How would I feel after being them? Would I appreciate my life more?
Would they enjoy Chanel being demanding all day for cookies? Would they think my time online excessive? Would they enjoy showing houses to strangers? Being an extrovert?
Why are we all so different if we are all connected at soul level?
Are we really that different?
Would YOU spend a day in Someone else's shoes?

That would be an awesome and challenging experience! I'd only hope not to have to trade with any of these people: David Voss, David Joyner, Carey Stintion; Bob West, Tim Dever, Duncan Brannan, Dean Wendt--all of which have helped bring Barney the dinosaur to life. But even then, I'm sure that the experience would not be a waisted one.

Nope, I don't think I could handle it. We have had millions of second, thousands of hours to get "used" to our own quirkee lives. The shock of having to adapt and adjust to someone else's would be overwhelming. I would love to watch though. Not that would be a great reality show! Nice post sista, well done! Peace!

Great post. I've tried to do this in a round about different way. I've been posting a picture a day in my Picture Gallery to let others see what life is like through my eyes. What would be interesting is to maybe take a picture an hour for 24 hours and see what that looks like.

I think this would be a blast! No matter if we could really exchange lives for a day or not, at least this makes us think about our fellow man!
