    It was such a beautiful day for a walk outside. A nice way to end the challenge. I will do my best to continue this habit, though I can't guarantee it will happen every day through the fall and winter. I will work on being opportunistic and trying to get in short walks when the weather is cooperating though!

    It's great that we can now see our "team impact" (below the team news feed). We're doing a lot of great things during this challenge and our small daily actions are adding up.  We are also pretty close in points to the Multnomah County team. Way to go everyone!

    I was happy to get outside today for a nice walk during a break in the stormy weather. Not a bad way to tackle one of my challenges today!

    I'm excited about the new health challenge options. The link between wellness and sustainability is fantastic!  I just added one more daily challenge that will pair nicely with my goal of developing a mindfulness practice. Yay!

      Good for you! If anyone is looking for a great local resource on mindfulness here in Hillsboro, please let me know. I'd be very happy to recommend Brant's course at Yoga Hillsboro.

    I'm ready to do something totally different from the past few years. I'm going to focus on getting outside for a walk each day (undoubtedly a few rainy and windy days) rather than conserving resources. This year it's about balance, activity and connection with nature.

      Great idea! Let me know if you'd like to take one of those walks at Jackson Bottom one lunch time. Happy to help (and get up from the desk).   :)
