I wish I could remember the name of the book, but there’s one out there that talks about getting to more mindful living in stages; not expecting that you will be able to suddenly do a lifestyle 180, but to take purposeful steps. It might mean buying products with less packaging, are more humanely raised, or are made by workers with fair labor practices. It also addressed diet, exercise, smoking, many aspects of “living life.” I found it encouraging because you can always keep moving along the spectrum. That said, I do have a coat that was my grandmother’s ca. 1960 and I do tell people it’s fake, because a) I would never buy a new fur and b) it is a style that is popularly copied now.
