Took a walk down memory lane

Last week I went to visit an old college friend who lives in the same town where we attended school.

She was getting married over the weekend and I wanted to spend time with her before the big day.

Walking down the streets and witnessing all the changes that have happened in the last 10 years was a gift.

I remembered visiting the library for the first time and using my local address to become a member. It was exhilarating!

Once I moved off campus and went to the recycling center, I felt so grown up and responsible.

Adjusting to a new place or developing a new skill might be overwhelming at first.

How often do we try to tackle every challenge in one fail swoop?

Instead, accept the overwhelm and embrace the opportunity to experience something new.

And once you've mastered it, try to take another baby step to become a master at that!

I'm here to encourage you that small baby steps—overtime—will sustainably get you where you want to go.

"How does it not smell?"

Talkin' 'bout trash... Back in February, I shared a video to portray the amount of trash we had accumulated in 8 months—it was less than a 13 gal bag. People have been going crazy over this video even though I had logged out of Instagram shortly after posting it. A few weeks ago I signed back into my account and was shocked to see the response. One question I received was, "How does it not smell?" The secret? We don't put any food in our trash. It all gets composted! For the most part, we are...

Let's talk about composting.

Are you ready? Clearly, they are not. My sweet mother recommended more discussions about in my email newsletters so let's do it! I love talking about composting. Using something that would otherwise go to the landfill to turn back into soil, amazing. What you need to remember about the process is to have more browns (carbon) than greens (nitrogen). What are sources of carbon? 💚shredded paper💚toilet paper and paper towel tubes💚wood chips💚dried leaves💚newspaper💚cardboard💚eggshells What are...
