    How did you participate in the sharing economy? (Consider posting a photo!) What are the benefits of a sharing economy? How could a sharing economy change the dynamics you have with friends, family and/or neighbors?

    How did shortening your showers affect your awareness of water conservation? What other water-saving practices can you adopt in your daily routine?

    By doing so, I was able to conserve approximately 20 gallons of water, making a small but meaningful impact on water conservation.

    How did exercising each day impact your physical or mental well-being? What activity did you enjoy most, and why?

    I enjoy walking and working out in the gym. I like walking in nature to get some sun and see different colored birds--listen to their various chirps and how they are content. Spending some time stretching after is my most favorite because I feel so relaxed afterwards.

    Exercise helps keep me active, reduces stress, and helps me build strength. I shoot for a minimum of 2-3 times a week and do another day or two when I can. Consistency is key to seeing a maintaining results.

    I encourage anyone starting on an exercise journey to start off slowly and look for tips for beginners to prevent injury and to keep the motivation to stay on course.

    This was a little harder this time. I will make more of a commitment and personal challenge to try harder to eat more meat free meals.

      • Hi Dorothy: Personally, I am very proud you tried! Most people think they have to have meat with every meal. Years ago, at the Lent time of year my church does the "Daniel Fast" No Meat, No Dairy, No Sugar. The first year, I also famished. LOL. Now, at least twice a week my meals have no meat. My skin is much clearer, and I feel so much better. Good Luck enjoy all fresh foods and or health choice packaged
