    I am grateful for this challenge helping me to re-engage with concern about whole foods. Today I downloaded the Open Food Facts app after listening to the book Ultra Processed People, It's a long road back for me, but am hopeful about my ability to continue with healthy changes.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    At Home Needs Vs. Wants
    How is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?

    Practicing simplicity actually leads me to more creativity. When I clear away the "too much" in terms of physical or mental "stuff" more space opens up to make the connections needed to come up with the better solutions I am seeking. Something will become obvious b/c you are looking at/thinking about less, I love these "eureka" moments when I realize I already have what I need and can use the things I have in creative ways.
