Day 24: Supporting Local Growers

Today I took an idea from my sister and Mom and went to our local Grower's Market in Corrales. In all the time I have lived in New Mexico, I am sad to say, I have never been. It is a chilly day and is getting pretty cold here so there were not many stands or an overabundance of produce, but there was still some great stuff and some very nice growers! I took my middle son, Calon, with me this morning to pick some food to support the growers for my Good Human Act. He loved going to the stands and checking what they had, he also loved helping me pick out the tasty snacks we were going to buy! It was a really nice time. We ended up getting a pound of tomatoes (hand chosen by Cal), a really nice white onion, a small container of fresh, low sugar, strawberry jam and a larger green tomato jam, that tastes like apricot- yum! I can not wait to go back in the spring and summer when the stands are brimming over with fresh goodness.

You will love the farmer's market in the summer! I've been going regularly for years now and the Corrales market is the best - on Sundays in the summer they even have live music and burritos and so many stands packed full of goodness. The Los Ranchos market is pretty good too.

You should check out Los Poblanos Organics! We get a box delivered every week of local organic fruits and veggies and even bread made in Santa Fe (they even have meat ;)...it is so wonderful! But, it is fun going to local farmer's markets too! -Megan

A Good Human Movement

My name is Angela. I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys, ages 6, 3 1/2 and 1. I am a good mom, not perfect by a long shot, but good. I am married to my high school sweetheart, we have been married for 8 happy years and been together for 12, I try to be a good wife, some days I surpass that and unfortunately others I don't quite reach it, but in general I am a good wife. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother, not all with whom I am extremely close, but all of whom I respect for their individuality and love tremendously, I am a good sister. I have a small group of friends that I could not be happier to share small adventures and activities with, I am a good friend.

I am about to be 30 and have recently found myself having a 1/3 life crisis. I feel like I am missing a piece of life that I should be focusing on. I am a good wife, mother, sister and friend. But I have found myself wondering, am I a good human? All of the things I do in my life are centered around myself and my family, which is wonderful, but I feel like I can do more. I need to help the needy, maybe my neighbors, perhaps the planet. I need to use what I am good at and help where I can. I am not trying to save the world, but I need to do my part to make it a place worth living.

I have decided to try my hand at a new idea to make this a reality. I want to put my desires and efforts down permanently so that it will be easier for me to follow through and not just talk a pretty picture. I am going to try to be a good human daily for 100 days. Being a good human can mean a million different things and I am going to try to tap into those and do 1 thing a day. For myself, I am going to start A Good Human Movement. I would love if anyone wants to join me in this movement or would like to share their ideas on what I can do.
