New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Today is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, a day that has come to be one of the busiest and most lucrative shopping days of the year. But it can also be seen as a day of excess and greed. Instead of falling into this pattern, declare today Buy Nothing Day. Make not one purchase; merely begin planning and list making.
Starting today and over the weekend, haul out all those boxes of winter/holiday decorations, even the ones you have not opened in years. Start a discard box, a go-throughagain box, and a keep box. Light a white or green candle with a holiday scent. Put holiday music or a movie on for background sound. Offer gratitude for blessings and request clear thinking. Keep up your strength; fortify yourself with a robust meal using any leftovers you froze from November 8th. Donate whatever items you discard to your local thrift store or craft co-op. |
