    I spent some time in the woods towards the Gorge looking for chanterelles on Tuesday. No luck finding them this time but the rains are coming!

    It has been my goal to decrease the amount of "Stuff" I save. There seems to be some kind of emotional attachment to my stuff, but using creativity to figure out how to simplify my space has been kind of fun. I now dedicate 2 hrs per weekend to go through a small area of my spaces and have three boxes; Consign, Donate, Sell on Ebay. So far, taking the time to simplify, I have filled 3 boxes for consignment and two boxes to donate. The best part, is I'm making money getting rid of my stuff and my rooms are starting to feel clearer and more open to be in.

    I have increased my telework days by two days per week. I am lucky that my job tasks allow me to work from home.

    Howdy, EcoChallengers! How is your challenge going? I'm motivated to continue research into climate anxiety as Multnomah County's Office of Sustainability is currently hosting a variety of workshops this October based around strengthening mental health and wellness, and turning our climate anxiety into hope for the future.
