    Thanks @EmilyLightfoot for the background. There are so many to chose from since I think it’s human nature to want to improve. One (among many) is thinking how we can positively affect education & teen/pre-teen development in areas that have a disproportionate amount of resources. What could be some of the constructive, forward-thinking aspects to talk about that could define an encouraging fresh look at a well-known topic?

    Reading this @etutill makes me think about the ways I do and don’t take time for myself. It’s interesting that it can be so hard to start a habit (walk, physical exercise, reading, meditating, etc.) but once you’ve done it enough (I’ve read about 21 day rule) it’s hard to stop/go back to where you where. You could see that as a (not-so-easy) matter of selecting the positive habits, and curbing the habits that don’t result in lasting satisfactory feelings.

    Of the many to talk about, I think the act of walking, exercising or just moving the body around in any way for a decent period of time (some say striving for 30min when you can is great) does magic for the brain and body.

    Will be great to hear about different experiences around the world! I imagine when people think of what makes up a culture they might think of the arts & science, music, cuisine, social contributions and more.

    I was wondering some of the foods that stick out in other cultures. Maybe even the obvious/well known ones. Like in the US some examples might be hamburgers and clam chowder, and in Canada maybe poutine and salmon. I got into mole the other year and had a new appreciation for Mexican cuisine! That sauce opened me up to endless flavor combinations with a dinner.

    Would be great hear more, especially if there are recommendations on how to experience it (and why).
