    How did checking in with someone strengthen your relationship or provide support? How did it feel to reach out and connect?

    I agree so heavily with the concept of this reflection question, connection is so incredibly important and I think that stressing its importance is vital to developing further as a person and devoloping real relationships with other people around you. Take for instance today, my friend's cat, Walker (named after the texas ranger) had a birthday. Now I would normally brush off such a post, its just a standard thing that every being goes through on a yearly basis; however, thanks to the ecochallenge I realized that this was a chance for a real connection to form between me and my friend. Because of this relaization, I was able to reach out with a good mindset and I learned importantly that walker is turning nine and is living a much more comfortable life than he was previously living, as in their previous place of residence their roommates cat would often antagonize poor walker and ambush him with attacks. Now in Walker's ninth year of life he is truly able to start feeling comfortable in his own home. I feel more connected both with my friend and her cat by extension and its all thanks to this prompt from the ecochallenge.

      That's awesome! Walker, the Texas Ranger cat, deserves a celebration fit for a feline hero! It's clear you've mastered the art of making birthdays purr-fectly meaningful. Here's to many more cozy, ambush-free years for Walker!

    I joined the ecochallenge as a way to prove to myself that we can be better. We can and must be better for mother nature and for all of her many inhabitants. Even though I may not be able to give up airplane travel, highly processed foods, or my love for snowmobiling/ four wheeling every day of the year, I feel like giving up these things for a month is something that I am more than happy to do if it could potentially improve the lives of so many. In a way, by really giving this cause our all, we can be heroes.
