    I usually don't come around to following through on my New Year's resolutions until sometime in February, so I'm not too surprised that it's taking me a while to get going on some of my more ambitious challenges. Old habits die hard.

      Good for you for declaring intentions and working to meet them, Andrew! I really admire that as I'm not good at putting myself out there unless quite sure I'll be able to complete what I've said. Thanks for sharing with us. P.S. Hooray for wholefood and meatless meals :)

    I once heard a climatologist in Yosemite say "It took a million billion little decisions to get us where we are today, and it will take a million billion little decisions to get us where we want to go." LET'S DO THIS
