And I don'...All the best in your journey Wendy! And I don't believe that there's such a thing as failing in this journey - just opportunities to learn more about ourselves.<br /><br />I found at the start of my no-brand-new year that I had to renegotiate so much of my life - including relationships with other not like-minded people. It was amazing how big a part consumption played in how I related to others!<br /><br />Eventually (and after a long time) we found other ways to relate and its no longer stressful. It does get easier.<br /><br />Wishing you all the best in your journey!Eilleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234465657790552289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415053333659807656.post-51184869818010976552009-08-04T07:28:20.596-07:002009-08-04T07:28:20.596-07:00Thank you for your comment and suggestions!

We found that we love Dollar Stores and save so much money buying from them for paper goods, etc. We carefully research what is a good buy and what isn't.<br />My standard question before buying anything now is: Is this something we really need and will really use (or eat)?<br />I found that if I go shopping only when we NEED something and don't "window shop" we really buy a LOT less.....<br />And, we cleaned out a lot of our closets and dressers. It makes me feel so much more organized to only have in the house what we will use or need.<br />The rest went to charity, which also made us feel better.<br />It is living with integrity,like Oprah talked about....<br />So, good for you for attempting this project. I think the cleansing will help you and your entire family.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.com
