Make a small change this week!
3/16/2025 Sunday Hope For Us All: Small, Individual Actions Do Matter!
Over the years, I have found that a very small change that is made by individuals do make a difference in their lives. Just decide and do it today. I was speaking with my youngest sister earlier today and she has done very similar things as far as reading labels carefully and making her own meals and gardening! We live several states apart, so good to hear that we have so much in common!
Today, I want to help others to decide if there is just one change that you want to make this week. Just deciding what you want to change is a great way to start. One very important one is stopping use of single-use plastics, often described as microplastics. For us, this took some planning in the financial and just habitual sense but once done- it was easy! No sandwich or storage bags at all, anymore. We use pint or quart jars and have a freezer set off Pyrex containers as well. We also wash and reuse glass jars that food came in! By far, I found that giving up single use plastics was by far the best thing we ever did.
Today, I want to pat myself on the back for no longer buying from certain companies any longer. I have also given up many subscriptions over the past year as well. We now spend less and get better quality! Yes, I know that buying from a very inexpensive store may seem good but I have found that the poor quality goods and also that their workers are often treated poorly also helped us make this decision. Below are some links that may help you decide.
Here is a link with a list of suggestions:
I want to comment that I worked many years in home health and often found ways to help persons make changes in their cooking and shopping decisions and often these small changes helped how they felt and they also learned how to ask questions about their health with their doctors. OK, get ready: often persons felt better when they gave up processed foods and fast foods and switched to cooking their own food in slow cookers. Yes, this helped hundreds of persons and that is why I continue to share this. If you are amused- OK, I find that there are many that live on processed foods and eat them daily. If that is you, I challenge you to try giving these up for one week and notice how you feel. When we gave up fast or processed foods and then we happen to eat one meal- we feel “off” after eating. Yes, it was a challenge to change eating habits. I also wrote down how I felt and that sure helped.
Below are some links to articles that I read today and hope you enjoy them, too!
“We don’t believe that trans people are only allowed to exist when they poll well. We don’t believe that there’s a binary choice between supporting broke American citizens and immigrants. We don’t believe that feminism is an attack on men, or that anti-racism is an attack on white people. We don’t believe that justice and peace for Palestine is mutually exclusive with protecting Jewish communities from antisemitism. We don’t believe in either implicit or explicit eugenics for our disabled neighbors. We don’t believe that only some of us deserve healthcare or childcare or a decent education or healthy air or communities free from violence. We merely believe that we all deserve a country that loves us for once. We believe that there is enough to go around, but only if we choose it.
We recognize, of course, that something has to give if all of us will be free, but that has much less to do with punishment than redistribution. There are a handful among us who have far more than they could spend in a million lifetimes. There are even more who’ve built fortresses when we should be welcoming others onto our front porches. All of us still have much to learn about how to live together. We’re not saying that the world of our dreams won’t require changes or challenges.”
“Or, considering the recent coup in my county, which has essentially ended nearly 250 years of a Democratic Republic. And which has created an organic and growing resistance.
We don’t know, at this time, how bad things will get. We don’t know if all or any of our endeavors will work to take back the country.”
🧐DID YOU KNOW?
Tesla pays $323,000,000 in China for taxes.
In the United States 🇺🇸 they pay NOTHING!
I’m once again here to demand that we finally get money out of our politics. Billionaires should not be able to avoid paying taxes.
There are people making 40K a year, that pay more in taxes than Elon Mush

“Whether it’s securing important documents, strengthening your financial situation, or building a local support network, small actions today can make a significant difference tomorrow.”
“I try to keep things focused on nature and gardening, but today I’ll share a quote from my 78 yr old mom who lives in deep red eastern Tennessee. We were discussing why Congress seems so afraid to buck the horrific dismantling of our government. Her response?”
“WE NEED TO MAKE OUR REPRESENTATIVES MORE AFRAID OF US THAN THEY ARE OF TRUMP.”
Damn, I’m proud to be her daughter.
