The food we put in determines our health. I guess this means pay more for organic?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Whole Foods DietMichael 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?

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Have a Garage SaleBuilding community is good for your soul and fun to do! What were some of the positive outcomes that came out of your group garage sale?
Stacey Bonham 10/21/2019 10:39 AMMy neighborhood has under gone a huge revitalization in the 16 years I have lived there. With that revitalization came a lot of new neighbors. This garage sale gave me the opportunity to met people new to the neighborhood. -
Stacey Bonham 10/20/2019 11:54 AMWatched "The Game Changers" on Netflix last night with my SO. After 8 years, I think I (okay, the documentary!) FINALLY convinced him to go vegan! Highly informative without being judgmental. Check it out!-

Agree! So good! Congratulations on convincing your husband. I'm still waiting for mine to watch the show.

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Limit Social MediaSocial media can keep us connected with loved ones, make us laugh, and help us to learn new things. It can also take more time than we realize or intend to give. After doing this action for a few days, how do you feel? What do you notice?
Amanda Holloway 10/16/2019 2:32 PMThough social media helps me stay connected to family and friends, I feel a little calmer with a reduction in my social media time. My evenings have a bit more breathing room. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Reduce refined sugarBefore you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now?
Andrew Murray 10/15/2019 8:02 AMNo, as I have reduced my sugar intake. It has served to increase my awareness though. -
Stacey Bonham 10/14/2019 12:42 PMI am getting my Masters online and I love how all of the materials are electronic so no books and no paper waste! -
Cinthia Shireman 10/14/2019 8:43 AMI drive a 2003 toyota camry with 220,000 miles... Boy oh boy do I WANT a new vehicle. My husband and I did some major reflecting on my "Need vs. Want" for a new vehicle. We decided to get new tires on the car and keep her. Now we have our fingers crossed she makes it to 300,000 miles.-
Amanda Holloway 10/21/2019 9:16 AM300,000 would be a huge milestone! Needs vs. Wants can be so tricky when we're told via advertising, social media, etc. that ditching the old for something new and shiney will make us happier. Kudos to you for resisting!

Stacey Bonham 10/13/2019 9:11 PMI had a birthday party yesterday for my daughter. I tried to choose as many Earth friendly options as possible but there was still a lot of waste. I am going to brainstorm ideas so that next year we will be sending less to the landfill. -
