This is my friend Wendy Thomas’ blog – “Lessons Learned from the Flock” check it out! Thank you for this opportunity to be a guest blogger, Wendy!
Kristin Skarie is a friend of mine whom I met through my son when she did workshops at his college. Like me, she also loves to do life experiments and one of her finest was going a year without buying anything new. It can be done, she’s even written a book about it! Here’s Kristin to tell you about what she learned when she didn’t buy anything new.

Hello and thank you Wendy! In 2010, I made a decision to buy nothing new for a year. A friend had shared her recent nothing new experiment so I decided on the spot to give it a go – no preparation, no stocking up, no plans. In many ways this was an answered prayer to remedy a BAD 2009 (don’t ask!) and it gave me a welcome distraction – an active, positive focus on the pending adventure.
