Living As If …

Our next project is due to begin today.  The idea is to begin to live “as if” our lives were full of luxury, comfort, ease. We did find it to be true that What You Focus On Grows, so for the next 30 days, I thought it might be fun and interesting to focus on creating a home that feels, looks, and possibly even is luxurious, comfortable, beautiful, and rich.

So, for the next 30 days, we will be doing some home decorating centered around prosperity, wealth, luxury, comfort, and beauty.

Our project will be full of ideas for the following:

• Teas, brews, and beverages said to bring prosperity and attract wealth.
• Colors to surround yourself with.
• Simple and inexpensive DIY projects that give a luxurious feeling.
• Foods and recipes reputed to attract success and money.
• Incense, potpourri, and aromatherapy for prosperity.
• Ideas for banks, billfolds and purses.
• Turning your thrift store stuff into something beautiful and fine.

Sound interesting?

It occurs to me that it is important to have a soft place to land at the end of a hard day, that if we are surrounded by evidence of poverty, we will very easily fall into that flow of lack and discomfort. And, if we are living a luxurious life, surrounded by beauty, it’s so much easier to want the best for ourselves.

That being said, it also has to be affordable and within the realm of capability. So, my plan is to find inexpensive and easy ideas. I’m going to try to keep the budget under $10 for any given project. We may have to rely heavily of thrift store finds, recycling, free-cycling, and barter.

If you are interested in exploring these ideas and this concept with me, let’s get started now!
