We are such over-consumers in our society. It's crazy! I didn't shop on Black Friday- in fact, I did the Buy Nothing Day celebration.
I did do some shopping on Saturday morning for Small Business Saturday aimed at getting you to spend your money to support businesses in your community. My business? The local thrift store run by Catholic Charities- so the money goes directly to those in my community. Win-win for all of us.

About every other month I have this guttural desire to purge things. I sometimes give away things I'd wished I'd kept months later, but most of the time I don't mind the de-cluttering and purging.
