Snow Day in the Village

Wellness Loud
About this episode

Our story tonight is called Snow Day in the Village, and it follows up on the recent storm that blew threw Nothing Much. It’s about checking on neighbors as the drifts pile up, shovels and thick socks. It’s also about banana bread, puppy paw prints in the snow, books and blankets, and small acts that connect and protect us.


We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Veganuary. Working to encourage people worldwide to try vegan for January and beyond.
