Jenelle Shelvy 10/17/2017 1:26 PMIt's hard to not purchase anything but food and water when random necessities pop up and when self-care comes into play. I am willing to spend money on myself or those around me to promote self-care. #therewillbeotherdays -

Jenelle Shelvy 10/14/2017 10:25 PMWatched the documentary Forks Over Knives! I learned how much our food is affecting chronic diseases in America. This is causing me to be more intentional with the food that I eat. -

Jenelle Shelvy 10/13/2017 6:35 PMThis is probably the first day where I won’t complete everything. Makes me think about how work and school can take so much of your time. #itsokay-

Jenelle Shelvy 10/12/2017 6:02 PMIn Union City, my family has kept large furniture that we do not need in our garage. After researching where our nearest recycling depot is, I can go home during winter break and get rid of the clutter in our garage! -

Jenelle Shelvy 10/12/2017 10:12 AMY'all, I have been noticing how fast foods and grab-n-go restaurants uses a lot of disposable items which contribute to the excess trash we make. This is making me be more intentional with what/where I eat. Mind blown! #awareness -
Jenelle Shelvy 10/12/2017 8:06 AMThe first day of my challenges were great! My favorite part was eating outside and walking with my significant other. I missed being grounded by nature and I am glad that I am trying to fit it back into my life again.
