What A Wonderful World

How did we get here? In the matter of a year I have had more conversations, bordering on arguments, about things that I never thought in 2018 I would have to be defending. Gay / Trans rights, equal pay and treatment for women, CONSENT, Immigrant and Refugee rights, and the list goes on and on and on. Last  weekend was the one year anniversary of the Women's March as well as one year since hate, racism, intolerance, xenophobia, and ignorance has taken office and a hold on this country. Some days it feels exhausting to fight, but fight we must. 

In other news, I've been continuing on my journey to help my sister address her difficulties with eating healthy -- a project focused on helping me prepare for the process of writing a final graduate thesis. 

Essentially my sister is not a fan of vegetables, feels hope that there is a vegetable out there she would enjoy, is wary about trying new things. The themes of unfamiliarity, reducing waste, and accessibility came up when discussing her difficulties with keeping a healthy diet. 

I think at this point it is important to discuss and further define what healthy means for her. I think healthy can be such a relative term, different to all. If her goal if to be "healthy" isn't it important to first have her define for herself what that means?
