REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Learn the Truth About Expiration DatesHow does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?
Tammy Paschal 4/22/2020 2:12 PMI now understand that these open dates are not about the safety of the food product, but more about the quality of the food. I will be more intentional about buying food and letting it go unused after the open date shown on the package. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Spend Time OutsideRachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
Tammy Paschal 4/17/2020 3:24 PMYes this statement rings true for me. I'm so inspired when I spend time outdoors. Especially now that we have a large background with a garden. Sometimes it's just hearing the birds sing, or watching how the grass goes dormant to a lush green. The inspiration is everywhere and reminds me that I'm a part of a much greater existence. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Connect While Social DistancingHow does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?
Tammy Paschal 4/17/2020 3:18 PMConnecting with others demonstrates a level of togetherness that can not be felt otherwise. It can support others by allowing others to feel that they are not alone, are thought about and valued/loved.
