Michelle's morning routine has hit a roadblock, it broke down. When things break, in our culture, we tend to throw them away and make judgments about the broken item and also ourselves. What if, instead, we just noticed that a change is needed and make an adjustment. Today we're talking about that process.

Today's To-Go Cup Takeaway Question: Think about a time you’ve tried to make a change in your life and consider what happened when it didn’t work quite right. When it broke down, what did you do?
