There’s so much to unpack here Cecilia. Since becoming more aware of the state of our precious planet, I’ve completely shifted my mindset toward “stuff”. I buy very little these days and I don’t feel deprived at all. I’ve also been decluttering, realizing I don’t need half of the stuff I own and wondering why the heck I bought this stuff in the first place. My husband and I were just talking about our spending in the first few months of retirement and I commented that we’re spending less and living well. Fascinating!

Thank you, thank you, for featuring me!

And I have fallen victim to the big couch theory myself, as in purchasing a huge purple velvet one that was soooo comfy and also ridiculously big for my living room. Also, I agree with Deb, who says there is so much good stuff in this post--it is crammed full!
