    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    I find that I can use my reusable mug for other things, like oatmeal, instead of using disposable bowls. It also gives a warm and cozy feel to my breakfast!

    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    Thanks to help from my favorite design team, I was able to make the switch to two-sided printing. They alleviated my frustration from printing upside down and in mirror image!

    What did you observe while spending time outside -- through sight, sound, smell and touch?

    I noticed the sun sets farther to one side than it did midsummer.

    More of my senses are engaged: I smell the fallen leaves; I hear engines of oncoming cars; I feel the tug of my dogs' leashes; and as I reach the top of the ridge, I see mountains that stretch for miles and miles.
