Today, when the sun came out, I took the time to go outside and take in all nature had to offer me. In that moment, I felt refreshed and ready to take on anything that came my way!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Tend a Garden

Have you ever had a significant experience in nature that altered your perspective or focus? If so, please describe it.

Dannee Reaves 10/17/2024 11:07 PM

One year, in January, while hiking Trail #420 in the Columbia River Gorge, I slipped on the ice on the narrow trail and almost fell from a deep drop off in the Gorge. This altered my perspective on nature and on life. Life is too long to take it so seriously and nature is a beautiful, fierce force to be reckoned with.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Choose Two-Sided Printing

Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

Dannee Reaves 10/17/2024 11:03 PM

I think the best way to get others in my home to switch, is by making the font bigger. None of them can see well, let alone see two-sided prints well.
