We moved in to our house about a year ago and did a sweep of LED bulb replacement. For the eco-challenge, we did a survey of all of the light bulbs in our house and found we still had 7 incandescent bulbs and several CFLs in little-used rooms! Needless to say we have swapped them out and I was able to check off an item from my list! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth & Well-beingConsider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?

I love shopping at my locally owned bookstore. It's full of nooks and crannies- I can always find a gift there for anyone on my list. They also host a monthly book club that is wonderful, and I always buy the month's selection from the shop to support them. This month's book is Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell, and I purchased a copy to help meet my local/diverse business goal for the month, -
