How ... it starts with food.
It feels like I haven't done a theme week of posts in forever ... but here goes seven days of daily randomness with an underlying tie-in to food, ostensibly because it's that time of year where we all partake of our Thanksgiving feasts so food is on the mind, but really so that I can plug "donating to your local food bank" seven times in a row.
Look, I don't want for food. (If I did, I might not be on my current weight-loss journey.) Later this week, that fact manifests itself in a table of bounty that often has multiple main dishes and so many sides that we have to add a card table just so that there's enough room for the three different kinds of stuffing. And those of us that have excess should never forget that there are multitudes who have little. There are many ways to contribute to the cause ... throwing a few extra items in the shopping cart that you drop off at your local food bank, making a monetary donation, volunteering your time, or even inviting someone less fortunate to your holiday feast.
Let's be clear -- it's easy to keep this front and center in your mind during this week of the year what with the holiday festivities ... but the need is year round. Accept this challenge this week and let it become habit forming so that your food-based generosity extends throughout the months ahead.
After all ... it starts with food.
