Each week in 2012, I’ll post an Activity of the Week. They won’t be huge things, just something to move you in a different direction or give you a new perspective or shake things up in some way.

Here’s the Activity for Week 17: Shop at a locally owned small business. It can be a grocery, a restaurant, a coffee shop, a beauty salon, a boutique. As long as it's a small business and locally owned, it counts!

Accountability: I spent all afternoon Sunday with my living room window open. It was lovely! Plus, I finally caught up on past episodes of a TV show, watched the Netflix movies that had been lying around too long, AND updated my Netflix queue. All things I'd been meaning to do.
