    Instead of purchasing new shoes, I took some old faves to be repaired.

    Eating more veggies and less meat is better for our overall physical health and the health of the environment.

    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!

    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!

    It's so satisfying to buy something new, but most of us have many more items of clothing than we need. It can be fun to shop your ow closest. Browse Pinterest for ideas on how to rework the items you have. If you need something, consider a site likeThredUp or Poshmark, which sells used items.

    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.
