This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being intentional. If you have favorite local businesses or suggestions, I’d love to hear about them. Together, we can make small changes that feel good and do good.

This means:
• Spending less time on TV and more time reading or engaging in meaningful activities.
• Choosing local shops, makers, and services when possible.
• Balancing these changes with what’s affordable and realistic for me.

While I can’t avoid big corporations entirely, I’m making a commitment to support businesses and practices that align with my values as much as I can.

I’ve been reflecting on the way I spend my time and resources, and I realize how often I’ve chosen convenience and comfort without thinking about the bigger picture. I’ve conformed to what’s easy—and honestly, who hasn’t? But now, I want to be more mindful about where my energy and dollars go.
