Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
— Mohandas Gandhi

Fast from sensory overload. For one hour use neither your sight nor hearing. (Use a blindfold or earplugs.)

Give some of your time to an organization for the blind and deaf (like Lighthouse International or Recording for the Blind )

Slipped up? Don’t give up. Start again and share your
struggles at our “Slip Support Station” on Facebook.
