    I learned that it is easier to not buy random things in the store than I thought it would be. I also learned that walking outside helps when you aren't feeling well. Nature is a beautiful thing that I have not really lived in harmony with... I am hoping that as I continue to walk outside and spend less on trivial things, I will learn to...

    If you are ever looking for a good charity to donate those gently used, and reuseable items you weeded out during your simplicity challenge. Below is a link to the Purple Heart Foundation that help those military  veterans who were injured during war time combat actions. just a simple phone call is all it takes to arrange for a pick up, and the...

    This eco challenge has been more successful for me than previous ones - I feel by focusing on small actions I have developed new habits I can continue to pursue, rather than something larger that I stop doing after the challenge is up. In particular, I really enjoy setting aside a single time to check social media each day - it's brought me...

    I was able to check my last goal off today! Working from home for the low carbon win!

    It has been a humbling experience keeping track of what I am grateful for, realizing that even though there may be things that I want, that I am certainly not lacking!
