    I can improve on slowing down my response time. I tend to think and speak quickly, which isn't always effective in healthy communication. I liked the tip in one article about LARA (Listen/Affirm/Respond/Add) to help with making sure you are listening and communicate with your friend/partner/coworker and still getting your own needs met.

    May our soil be rich with nutrients and our lives nourished.

    The healthcare challenge has helped to stay focused on how I use the resources in my daily life and make changes where needed.

    What makes your day a fantastic day?

    I participated in the Rush Green Fair yesterday and it was amazing to see so many employees interested in sustainability. It was fun to give my plant clippings and seedlings a new home and now I have 2 new plant clippings to watch grow.

    Happy Earth Day!!! May our footsteps be gentle and with care.

    I worked on this with my partner; he is particularly vigilant about expiration dates, so it was good to update him with the recent data/information about them. We were able to review our stock of food and keep some things longer, while placing expired food in the compost bin and recycling the packaging.

    One day until Rush's Sustainability Fair. Are you ready? Stop by, share the information, and bring someone along. You may just be the winner of the raffle.

    Ready for the weekend? What will you do to make it sustainable?
