Making Healthy Habits Stick
Now ask yourself how many times you forget, or fail to brush your teeth on a morning? I’m guessing (and hoping) the answer is almost never. When something is a habit – a part of our daily routine, we don’t have to persuade ourselves to do it – it just happens without thought.

A Plastic Free Pledge!
Plastic is a problem. It doesn’t just disappear; it hangs around in the environment for hundreds of years.

The difficulty is my ego can have (not always) a problem with it. It’s so far away from the part of me I would have owned in the corporate world. The part of me that’s always been conditioned to value logic, reason, evidence, hard work over the intuition, the magic, the connectedness, the act of surrendering
