The Challenge: Loving My Body, Loving My Lord, Loving My Earth
1. Happy Organs
After reading the Kind Diet by Alica Silverstone, I am intrigued to see the affects of cutting out meat and diary products from my body. For one month starting Monday Feburary 1st, I will not consume any animal products including diary. *Though due to nubiness and finances, I will not be cutting out fish from my diet and I will do my best to sustain from products that contain diary. However this experiment is directed more towards milks, cheeses, ice creams etc.* This means no chocolate or cheeses. My next period is going to suck. Also, I will incorporate running and yoga into my daily reigmen.
2. God's Gift
Its is by no means chance or luck that I got a part time job and a temporary place to stay right before I came back to LA. It is all GOD and it has taken me all too long to realize. During TOMS, I was excited and moving. I was distracted and thrilled by working, but I wasn't feeling. I wasn't using my heart. I wasn't listening. But by God's Gift and grace, I now have a place to listen, to FEEL and to slow down enough to realize what I wasn't doing and thought was okay. You can't put GOD off for 5 months because you have a kickass internship. Now I am speaking daily and will continue my devoution through Feburary and through.
Currently, I am doing a daily QT from the book, Grace for the Momment by Max Lucado. Its simple and perfect for my journey. Check it out.
3. Tree Hugger, now my favorite shirt will mean more than just a band
Making the daily activities of my life more earth conscious: activities, thoughts and dollar. Not sure to the extent of changes I shall make, but this will elvolve with my month I am sure.
I'll will keep you posted on month's long journey. I am certain there will be meaty lows and ice cream weakness, but I will survive* I think.
Feel free to join in or offer up some change some love for the month of FEB. in your life.
