Rice Day

Very naturally, in the course of discussing her daughter’s impending first year at school, she said, “I will miss being able to connect with my daughter’s heart throughout the day.  Today, we ate only rice all day to help us [as individuals and as a family] appreciate the choices available to us and understand what many people throughout the world feel lucky to have each day.”

They made rice in the morning, put it in an ice cream bucket, and drank water from their bathroom because they usually drink filtered water and nobody likes the taste of bathroom water.

Her kids are all under six and there was no fussing.

I love that she did this all on her own [with her husband] without being a superhero and without a corporate cause.  She wasn’t raising money.  She was simply living a life of solidarity.  She was connecting and impacting with the biggest reward being that she connected with someone’s heart.
