What's On My Mind

Why we buy too much stuff...
Something that has been on my mind is why we, some of us, buy too much stuff. I've contemplated the reasons, and have come up with some pretty solid ideas. Take me...my morning routine consists of rolling out of bed, letting the pup out, starting the Keurig, and taking my coffee to the couch where I sip and scroll on my iPad . You see, I don't want to think about much, I just want to look at pictures of pretty things, and for that, I go to social media, and next I know, I've succumbed to the temptation and bought something ,or at least added it to my cart to save for later. It's entertainment, a little dopamine rush! But now, my rush is finishing my coffee, making the bed, and getting upstairs to this pretty little desk by the window and working on this site.
Here's the thing...yes, buy things to help organize your home, buy things that add a special touch to your mantle. Buy the cozy throw, the cute pillows, the perfect tray and vase. Design your home until every room feels just right, and then, find your purpose, explore your vision, listen to your repeating dreams, and build a life thats interesting enough to be the only dopamine rush you'll need! We got this! (To see more of my blog entries, "BLOG" at the top of the main page). Thanks for visiting with me.
