One month of no "screen time":
Aside from what's required for work, this means zero television or internet. This challenge will force me to fill my time with other (hopefully more productive) activities and also find alternative ways to stay in touch with friends. I've never been a big telephone person, but I will do my best this month. I'm also considering bringing back the lost art of the handwritten letter.
One month of no yelling:
As Cindy stated: For 30 days every action and spoken word must be done with patience, sympathy, postive tones, and kindness.
So now I'm up to 8 months of challenges. Keep the ideas coming!

I think April hosts a week of "turn of your TV" that is a national challenge. When the biggies were in elementary school I always hosted an ice cream party for their whole class after we did a pre and post "no TV" discussion. All kids participated, no matter. And, some kids really gave it a try. Just thinking "months." Oh my, you are inspiring me. It feels like this one would be super tough for my family since we're really plugged in. Ouch.
off..I know how to spell
Perhaps a month of living locally? Buying local foods. Frequenting local establishments. Visiting a local farm for eggs. Ooh, or visiting your own backyard for eggs. You know you want chickens. ;)
If you are feeling braver than I. One month, no car...
I've definitely been thinking about doing one month, no car. I'd have to do some serious problem solving to figure out the logistics of that one.
I love the living locally idea. And I really do want chickens, but I learned that my city actually has a ban on backyard chickens. There's a small but very vocal group who's trying to lift that ban. We'll see.
A third idea I'm tossing around is a one month road trip to visit as many people as possible.
You should become a beekeeper. Less poop.
There are intro to beekeeping courses everywhere. You should go to one and find out.
And then, because I like to help, I will accept your first quart of honey - just to make sure you are a good bee farmer.
