My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day 32

On the 32nd day of my experiment, I am donating money to the Lakeland Hills YMCA. They run a great program called "Give a kid the Y" or something along those lines. Obesity being the problem that it is, giving to the Y is perfect way to give back and I do get a lot out of it myself when I am there. So, $3200 to the Y. They will appreciate it.


We could take a helicopter ride to see the volcanoes, take rides on the famous waterslide at the resort, I will take a full spa day all for me, (with my cell phone and a book, of course!) make leis, go to a luau, everything!! It would be a trip of a lifetime!
All the best,
Alicia

My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day 31

Today is the 31st day of my thousand dollar experiment where I "spend" $1000 virtual dollars a day and add $1000 each day consecutively.....

I have been blessed to be a part of a group that chooses to grow forward. Our group is involved in a 30 day mental cleanse and is studying the book Think and Grow Rich. I have read it before, but to have an online book club to review it with a genius, helps you understand it better. We are on chapter 11 this week and our mentor pointed us to a You Tube Video that made me just cry for joy. This video, called Playing For Change:Song Around The World "Stand By Me."
was so amazing to see. You just have to see it for yourself...it is a world collaboration of a song...it is quite incredible. This is where my tithe money is going today; to help this organization thrive. I am sure they will appreciate the $3100 donation and put it to good use.

The remainder of the money, $27,900 will be spent on one of the most important pieces for the studio. I want to purchase a baby grand piano to sit in the center of it all.

Model RX-3

6' 1" grand

Beautiful polished ebony finish with matching bench.

Which comes with a price tag of $20,000. I will also add to the piano by including a QRS system which allows one to connect thier i-pod with a bose sound system. The installation will cost $6000. I am sure there will be shipping costs and added expenses that will equal the rest of the money needed to be spent for today! :)

My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day 30

One month since I started the experiment. Wow. How time flies when you are having fun! My life is heading toward matching my experiment every day, closer and closer. It is very exciting to see it unfold. I think one of the keys to the success of the experiment is the clear and definite plan that I am creating through the experiment....words, matched with pictures, and a purpose with an expectation through clarity of thought. Anyway, I am going to start today off with a donation ($3000) to an organization called Concerned Women of America in honor of the unborn children of America and the world. Here is their mission statement: The mission of CWA is to protect and promote Biblical values among all citizens - first through prayer, then education, and finally by influencing our society - thereby reversing the decline in moral values in our nation.

The remainder of the money, $27,000 will go to putting a down payment on a house that we could rent out in town. It has always been my dream to have as many of my children living in the same town so we could be close and help each other. There is this really nice house up for sale in town now that I would just love to own. It is just so pretty and it is right on the park where it would be so nice to live there. It does not have as many bedrooms as my house does, but it has so much going for it. Besides, when we get our home addition, we will need a place to stay, so we can rent it out until the money comes for the addition. Then, we could stay there until the house was done without too much disruption. :) Below is a picture of a fountain that is steps away from the house. It is such a charming place.
