REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity De-Clutter My HomeHow can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?
Rachel Zakrasek 10/26/2020 12:19 PMI hear a lot of advice that, every time you receive a new gift or buy something new, you can donate or regift something you already have. That seems reasonable to me! I think also, just being more mindful about what I really need will help, especially when there are meaningful projects I'd like to save money for. Instead of buying something that I'm drawn to, I can look around my household first and see if I may already have that item, but it might need repairing, or transforming. -
Rachel Zakrasek 10/21/2020 9:50 AMI saw a poster for a multi-family garage sale this past weekend and was very inspired! The group had gotten creative and was selling baked goods and halloween items in addition to their household goods, and was playing music! To complete my de-clutter challenge, I am going to try and organize a similar group garage sale/free stuff table with my neighbors! -

Kyle Billeci 10/20/2020 11:22 AMWe've had some family emergencies happen this week and I didn't know how to respond to a loss of life - so I've been doing my best to be engaged and present for people in their time of loss. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Healing and Renewal ForgivenessHow has the process of forgiving, or contemplating forgiveness, benefited you?
Rachel Zakrasek 10/19/2020 5:53 PMIn struggling to forgive others and myself for things in the past, I found I was still haunted by these people and experiences. Trying new ways of thinking about forgiveness, and going through a focused forgiveness process, helped me tap into pent-up anger I was carrying around with me. I learned a new perspective, which is that anger is the work of the ego to create separation between things. Working hard to see that all things are connected, and that experiences happen to help us grow, helped me to forgive and let go of anger.
