Can't keep it in!

I cannot take it anymore! I am so damned fed up and angry with how people treat each other. It is not okay to be so selfish that you hurt others. You don't get to be an ass, not even if people were mean to you earlier in your life! As an adult, it is up to me to be better than those who came before me and to be better than I was yesterday. Its called GROWING. We learn from mistakes. We don't have to dwell on every little thing that makes us angry or frustrated. Let it out, say something, then MOVE. ON.

Also, don't choose sides when people break up. Support them. Love them both. They are both hurting and need support from everyone around them. They need to hear why your best friend just treated them like crap. You know something? Tell it to the one who needs the answer. No one is a complete victim and no one is completely to blame. No matter what the injured parties tell you - it takes two to work and two to mess it all up.

All right, so this challenge started in January, and now its November, but I'm jumping on the bandwagon anyway. I figure that if you want to see changes in the new year, that resolutions are a waste of time. Start them before you need them or call them out. So I'm starting now. :)

November has been a trying month and I feel like I keep getting further away from my garden goals. By working with the Challenge, I hope to find myself taking stock of what's really going on in my food life and thus my garden/urban farmlette by extension.

The first challenge of this month was to learn about gmo foods. There are a couple of ways that foods can be modified...did you know that ALL organic wheat is modified? Yeah, me neither.

The second challenge is to replace staple that you frequently buy in ready made form and replace it with one that you make at home. Good challenge! I don't buy a lot of ready-made staples (pancake mix eg) as it is anymore, but I'm sure I can replace something. I am awfully fond of those sugary, fancy pants flavored creamers. I could make my own flavored, sweetened half & half...and the challenge has been accepted. Off to make it!
