I’ve heard rumors for years that cell phones could possible be linked to cancer. According to this TIME ARTICLE I read yesterday, at least one doctor actually thinks they do!

The head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.

The warning from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is contrary to numerous studies that don’t find a link between cancer and cell phone use, and a public lack of worry by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me. But just in case, I might start using my hands free device.

I’m not too worried about getting cancer from my phone, but I am focused on reducing the “noise” it creates in my life.

I’m very excited to announce that starting this weekend I will not be getting work emails on my phone for the first time in years! Planning on making this a habit from here on out. Just one more step toward reducing the noise so I can become the person I feel God is calling me to be.

While we are talking about cell phones, I’ve got a couple of questions.

1) What kind of cell do you have? (I have an iphone)

2) How many minutes a day (on average) do you spend on your cell? (I talk about 90 minutes a day, usually in the car)
