Money Money Money



I got a hair cut this week. The first one since around October or so. I am attempting to let my hairs grow out for as long as I can stand it!
I have been putting off blogging all week long because I haven't really felt inspired to write anything. I've been sitting at my desk for the past 2 hours thinking about what has been going on in my life that I can share with others to light a fire in their world. And then I remembered! I have experience and ABUNDANCE of wealth and joy this week. I have been living my life as if I already had it, I have been visualizing that it is in my life, NOW and then it showed up. Money pouring from the Heaven's rained down upon our household and I loved every minute of it. I know there is more to come and I am accepting it with arms wide open.
Here is a YouTube link to give you an idea of how to attract wealth and abundance into your life, believe me it works!

Lucky Thrift Store Finds!

I went to the local thrift store before lunch, "Soul's Harbor." I almost always find something I want that I am moderately excited about, but today I found eight awesome things for $8. I am redecorating my office/craft room and everything I have gathered is going to make an excellent accent. Most of the things I plan on painting different colors :). Here we go:

A simple, but shiny, pretty red vase!


Beautiful Geisha Figure! How I got this lucky, I have not a clue!!


Picture frame for pets with paw border(soon to be painted,) wood plaque: oh you'll see :), and a framed inspirational quote! Always good to have!


Otherwise expensive laptop case, that of which I do not have, that's right: $1!!


Fancy candle holder that matches my living room well!


DVD Stand, because spray painting this one is faster than waiting for Brawn to build me one :)


I am SO excited. :) Made my day! Hooray for thrift stores!
