My theme of the month is SPEND OUT. I want to wear dresses even on weekdays, use up the markers and notepads I have stashed around the house, and make sure to eat all the delicious fruit before it goes bad. I want to finish up gift cards I’ve been hoarding and read the good books I’m saving on my shelves. I want to spend it all, these resources I have stockpiled and these things that I have somehow come to believe should only be trotted out on rare and special occasions. What am I saving it for if not to enjoy today?
ABUNDANCE! I want to live in abundance mentality, not in fear of scarcity.

Also, this wonderful little video is charming me today:

we don’t have no money / money makes the wheels of the world go round / forget about it honey
full lyrics:
“I Didn’t See It Coming”
Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms, I remember
We’ve been going transcontinental
Got no car, we just take a rental
But we don’t have the money
(money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms, I remember
Everybody’s talking about you
Every word’s a whisper without you
But we don’t have the money
(money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Trouble’s never far away when you’re around
I didn’t see it coming
I’m just not in the running
Take me on a train ‘cos I’m not flying
I can see the world from a different side
Read about us in the morning papers
When we make it alive
I didn’t see it coming
I’m just not in the running
And we don’t need a lifetime
We’re following the right line
I like living by this mentality also. I am this way now with my art supplies- no more yarn, fabric, paper, canvas until I’ve used most of it up; same with food in the cabinet and all my clothes.
