Sunday: Eco-Sabbath

Sunday's challenge was to "Take a break from everything.  Ohm shanti."

I didn't anticipate it, but this was the crown jewel of the week for me.  I went to a potluck brunch with the group I participated in the experiment with, and Julia Butterfly Hill paid us a beautifully inspiring visit.  The rest of the day was about the simplest of creature comforts for me: curling up with my cats and a good book; napping; baking delicious banana blueberry muffins...  It reminded me of how important it is to unplug from work and obligation and truly take time off, even if it's just one afternoon a week - not for the sake of entertainment or media absorption or to catch up on any number of other projects, but to just BE.
