Reading this story, I have hands down been one-upped. Have you? This story has two parts; one making you ponder the obvious question “where’s the weirdest place you ever had a meal?” The second is how Italy is turning around its prison system through teaching life skills and lowering its recidivism rate of minor offenses. They are paying intimates 1,000 euros (about $1,100) a month to work in the restaurant. It makes me wonder how America and other countries can lower the recidivism rate. To answer the question, though, I once ate an amazing fish taco sitting in a tree in Hawaii. I am sure that is mild compared to a prison and these other locations.

Fragrant Steam

How can I use herbs to calm down?

Peppermint tea: Health benefits, how much to drink, and side effects
I think even just the act of making tea, even with a tea bag, is medicine; cupping the hot mug in your hands, breathing in the fragrant steam, taking a few minutes to sit still. My favorite calming herbs are oatstraw, chamomile and lemon balm.

Values

What drives you to honor your values when it’s difficult to do so?

Image result for self-compassion

  •  My hope and belief that if I follow through with those values, I can help make the world just a little better.
  • I owe it to my family to be my best, because they rely on me.
  • Knowing that everyone is fighting their own battles
  • I want people to be honest, so I need to be honest myself.
  • Being true to myself and having self-compassion.
  • Remembering the web of connection: What we do to one person affects the others.
  • Love
