The VG Daily: 021 – Funday Monday: Picking A Partner!
On the 2nd ever Funday Monday, I decided to talk about something a friend recently asked me: how do you pick a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife? How do you know they’re the one? So I came up with an analogy that I think perfectly fits the bill!
The VG Daily: 020 – How to Make Meaningful Changes
So we talked about why I’m quitting meat: the emotional and logical reasons, but how do we go from deciding to do something, to acting? Making changes to your life is hard, so what we can we do to maximize our chance of continuing to do something we decide to do? Today I tell you how.
The VG Daily: 017 – I’m ECO. Now what?
