    I'm so thankful for this EcoChallenge!  It has been a daily reminder to slow down, everyone handles situations differently and that is ok, even if they don't in turn give me room to grieve or celebrate in my own way.  I can only control what I can control and need to stop and think about what really matters at the end of the day.

    Vacation - asked waiter which fish were caught by local fishermen v. what was shipped in.  All the "daily catch" menu items I ordered were DELICIOUS!!

    Spent time at the beach - saw fish I haven't yet been able to identify (possible young gar) and watched young seabirds flying close to the rock outcrop where they hatched, and was within 3 feet of a large sea turtle!

    Went to Virgin Islands National Park Visitor Center and talked with a Ranger about how climate change is impacting the islands - every aspect of life on and around an island is felt, from increased strength and frequency of hurricanes to health of the reef systems - everything is interconnected.

    Equality was a linking factor across these SDG's, referring specifically to increased inequalities caused by the pandemic.  It is essential to promote equality for the global population, people of all ages, women and children.

    I have been able to complete my challenges.  It does take effort and work but it has created awareness which is what is important.

    What was it like to practice mindfulness? If this is a practice for you already, what was something new you understood in practicing during Earth Month?

    It is hard to shut my brain off.  It takes practice. I am getting better about not feeling guilty for practicing mindfulness.

    What was something important you learned about renter rights and affordable housing?

    I found a valuable resource that details all of the renters rights, and have always known the value of documenting everything in writing. 
    As far as affordable housing, I learned that there are more homes than people, but lower income buyers are pushed out of available homes. Developers build more high price units, and wages have not kept pace with the cost of housing.
