Happiness
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
Food
Weekly Meal Planning
I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.
Simplicity
Needs Vs. Wants
I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

1. Yin yoga
2. Postcards in the mail to add to my giant wall map in my office at home. I love the postcards both for the physicality of getting something in the mail from friends and family, and for the dreaming of future places to visit around the world. Recently, I got postcards from Iceland and Hawaii.

1. My beautiful garden in the pre-dawn light.

3. Tanya Zumach, who's birthday is today. Tanya's generosity & hospitality is legendary from all the years of hosting Thanksgiving dinners for friends and family, to years of magical camping times at the land, and all those times she's showed up with amazing food, drink and pizzazz! Her trip to Spain on her 40th birthday inspired both Warren and me for a decade later to go big, travel far, and have amazing adventures especially when your birthday ends in zero. We're not done yet! Tanya, you continue to inspire and impact folks in a positive manner all the time. Thank you, TZ, for all you do, and may your birthday be blessed with laughter and love.
