🎁A deal I found this week at a considerable discount.

This is only this week, Nov 20-23, 2024. (I am an Amazon partner, so I get inside info on deals!) I love a good metallic pen. Metallic markers, 40% off. I am getting these as art is so cathartic for me.

Mindful Moment 

As we wrap up this week’s newsletter, I encourage you to reflect on how our spending shapes our finances and well-being.

When we stop seeking constant gratification through purchases, we create space for more profound satisfaction, more intentional choices, and a healthier relationship with our finances and happiness.

Peacefully,
