REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Joy Nicolini 10/15/2018 5:32 AMI try to make sure the meals I plan are scaled down to just us 3. Or possible a left over for the next days lunch. If I buy bulk I buy things that can be frozen or have a shelf life. I would rather use that money that would be wasted on savings or helping others. -

Joy Nicolini 10/15/2018 5:29 AMYou get to hear the sights, smells and sounds of the area, rather than the radio and air-conditioning of the car. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicityMindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?
Joy Nicolini 10/09/2018 4:45 AMYou can really taste the food and know when you are feeling full. Listening to the Qs of your body. -
