REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Needs Vs. Wants

How is creativity necessary for practicing simplicity?

Casey Shepard 10/02/2019 1:50 PM

Often there are many ways to repurpose something you already have to achieve whatever it is you need instead of buying a new item for the job. This requires creativity to fit your needs and simplicity to get by with homemade alternatives instead of going out for the newest, trendiest version. But keeping it creative and simple can save you money!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Whole Foods Diet

Michael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this idea?

Casey Shepard 10/02/2019 1:36 PM

Yes! I'd rather pay a little more for better quality food now than drown in medical bills in the future for eating too much crap.
