  I go walking with my buddy, a mortgage broker referral partner of mine, every Friday morning. We usually do 4-6miles. This time we started at the 36 bridge (took 1 of 5 of my mini-dachshund along), and then came back over the lift bridge. Found a couple of pieces in the snow, and took them home to recycle.

REFLECTION QUESTION

Great job on getting rid of your disposable cup habit! How does it make you feel? Are there any situations where you still struggle to use a reusable mug?

I love using my reusable mug, it's also a great conversation starter! It doesn't fit in my car well, but it's great for around the office!
