THE GREATER GOOD CHALLENGE! Refocus

STEP 3 – Refocus: April 5th, 2010 – April 26th, 2010
Category 1: Living like a minimalist
A Calgary couple didn’t buy anything new for a year and so I am willing to try my best at this challenge for the next 21 days and see if it is doable in my life. If something breaks that is non-essential I can either a) fix it b) buy it used/on sale or c) barter to get a new one.
Category 2: Healthy Living
I drink a lot of coffee and I want to see if I can minimize my caffeine consumption and have switched my coffee from regular to decaf and will only allow myself to consume a maximum of 2 coffees a day....this is my intervention!

Category 3: Pay it ForwardI was coming out of the grocery store following a woman who was walking with her lunch in her hand that she had just purchased. A homeless man standing outside the store asked if the lady had any change. Without any hesitation, she instead handed him her lunch and continued on her way. I don’t know what she ate for lunch that day, but I thought what she had done was admirable.
