It is very scary to think corporations control seeds and the means to sustain ourselves. It should be a sacred right to have access to seeds for food.

Dorothy Atwood 10/22/2018 1:21 PMBy decluttering everyday, I've learned my habit is to not quite finish a task. I bring in the mail, look at one or two pieces then put the rest in a pile. Now I've slowing down and taking the time to complete the task at hand, including, putting items away where they belong. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhat do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?
Dorothy Atwood 10/22/2018 1:16 PMWe eat lots of meat in North America because it is cheap. The true cost of meat is not reflected in its price. The price doesn't include environmental degradation, healthcare cost from toxics and too much meat in our diet. -

Dorothy Atwood 10/10/2018 9:25 PMI looked back over my gratitude journal. It is an eclectic mix of 'big' gratitude (e.g. my health, sunrises) and little ones (a warm cup of team, dancing to live music...). I'm grateful for my journal now too! -
Dorothy Atwood 10/09/2018 2:16 PMDecluttering was in the kitchen today. How many spatulas, turners, cutting boards and wooden spoons do you really need? Who knew the answer was so many!! Well now there are fewer, and it is easier to find the one you want in the drawer. -
