    On the last day of my Eco Challenge, I spent probably 75% of the day in my favorite place: The Mt. Hood National Forest! Unfortunately while hiking I realized that I had not followed all 7 principles of LNT, which was one of my other challenges, and was unable to finish the challenge with all 3 of my daily actions. Still, it was a great time...

    Forgiving myself... How should I put it? When you have anxiety, when you have insomnia, those are parts of yourself. In the course of my road to recovery over my anxiety, I've given it a name, Sterling. The thing as much as I hate Sterling - and believe me I hate him - I need to realize that he's me or part of me, and that in a way he's trying...

    https://youtu.be/RGkWI7c74oo https://youtu.be/pHNlel72eQc I watched these two TED Talks about food sovereignty and learned the importance of planting traditional foods that are linked to the land by having a relationship with each other for thousands of years.

    Today I made a vegetarian breakfast with a masa cake and scrambled eggs; tonight I will have a vegan meal of lentils and rice!

    Last day! Wow...okay...veggies went well...food sovereignty and water rights explorations went okay...but transportation was hard, because I had to talk to someone everyday, which wasn't realistic for me this year. I love that the ecochallenge pushes me and the 3 weeks is a great length to make things more of a habit! Thanks ecochallenge!
