My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day 24

Day 24! Hmmmph... isn't today the premier of 24, or a marathon or something? Ahhhh, just the universe telling me that I am on the right track again. God is good! After all, He made the universe. I will honor Him today with a donation to my church's building fund. Our pastor was talking about his very generous relative who would sell her million dollar home in order to fund our building renovation. I wouldn't want her to do that, so that is where my $2400 would go today.

The rest of the money would be spent on my office. Heh, heh, heh! The transformation would be a big one. I would first have to hire an organizational person, (if not team) to get my office into shape. I know just the person. Just met her at a business card exchange in Morristown. She updates me with her e-mails, so she will be easy to grab. I would paint the whole room, get a real desk, new flooring, new furniture, get rid of a LOT of stuff, get a new computer, and top of the line items to be able to record from my desk, both audio and video. I would have Elizabeth come in again to organize my closet, get new windows in my office, but add a bay to it with a window seat. It is so sunny in my office in the morning and it would be so nice to be able to sit there. I will get those windows with the blinds already built in so that no child could get to it. I would get new doors, one fot the entry and one for the bathroom in my office. I might have some left over money though. I am not sure it would cost quite $21,600, since I am a thrifty shopper. I would join that place, direct buy so that I could save on my purchases, so I am guessing there would be some money left over. I would take that money and get a massage, pay a babysitter, and take my hubby out for a movie and dinner since today is our anniversary. Yep. 18 years, baby. I would also buy him a nice electrician to install the speakers he bought with his Christmas money. :)
All the Best,

My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day 23

On my 23rd day, I will take $2300 and give it to the Mt Tabor Historical Society since I love this town so much and it brings me a great deal of joy. I just love it here and wish everyone could feel the same way about where they live! :)

Ok...with today's remaining money, $20,700, I am going to pay for the finishing touches on the studio. I paid for the land to be cleared, the actual building itself, the permits and all that jazz. Some equipment was purchased, but now we need the insulation and the lighting for the recording room, fixtures for the bathroom, a nice desk for the recording equipment, a keyboard, flooring for the room, furniture, pictures, headphones, a water cooler, computer programs to work with, electrical work....all the fixings to make it perfect. My studio is almost done. So excited! I am going to paint the walls a neutral with a touch of purple and have someone come in and feng shui it for me, too. It is shaping up to be the sweetest recording studio ever! In my own backyard. :)
All the Best,

My THOUSAND Dollar experiment...RESULTS

I am just amazed. Yesterday, the tides turned. I really know in my heart that this exercise is truly making a difference. Spending money might seem trivial to you, but there has got to be something to this whole thing. I have been allowing myself to spend money that I imagine I have and suddenly, money is really coming into my life as if the universe is hurrying to speed me the money to catch up to my dreams. I love it. I just got a job with a man who is giving cash away for people's gold. He has asked me to partner with him and his 27 year old business, run by him. I can't think of a better place to make money for myself than the man that is giving money away like its nothing.
He is even connected to another dream in my life....performance. My passion is to sing as many of you know already. Two fulfillments in one. Pinch me. The life I have always dreamed of is on its way. Including a stack of money. Now I will be able to stay home during part of the day (which I do want to do) go out during part of the day (love to do), make great money, (LOVE to do), perform (ADORE to do) and live my life on my terms. (The BEST!) Here's to dreams come true.
All the Best,
