In what ways can you increase the positive impacts and decrease the negative impacts of your financial investments?
Kim Smith 10/22/2021 12:51 AM
Mutual funds are complex, as they have so many different stocks represented. I had to really unpack and dig down into the specific aspects of the company's goals and strategies to make sure that they aligned with my values. I think that I will need to make a few changes.

How can Restorative Justice help foster the well-being of both people and planet?

What's your favorite activity(ies) in which you experience joy while being active and moving?
Kim Smith 10/13/2021 11:37 AM
I love being in nature and find that gardening and taking reflective walks while noticing nuances in the changing seasons bring a lot of peace and joy. Another favorite activity is Nia. I have missed taking Nia classes, which allow for flowing movement to lovely, energetic music. This reminds me that I could do Nia in my own home, with streaming content and some DVDs that have been gathering dust.
