About

Hello world. I’m Catie, mother of two young kids. Despite having a healthy salary, I have a hard time controlling my spending. I want to learn to relish the blessings I have and find peace and joy in the romance of every day life. I want to train myself out of that nagging feeling of want for material things that seems never to be satisfied. And I want to share my progress with you! Follow along as I rewire my brain and learn to pay attention to my children laughing, the warmth of my morning coffee, the sound of rain on the leaves outside. Attention, and where we choose to place it, can be so powerful.

I know that debt is something so many of us struggle with and in our hyper-consumeristic world, it’s so easy to acquire debt that ultimately harms your relationships and robs you of your most precious resources: time, peace, choice. I currently have a huge amount of debt. As I write this, I don’t even know how much exactly. Day by day, I’m going to work through it, sharing savings strategies and grounding practices that help me grow my gratitude. I’ll keep you updated on the numbers as we go and I hope that you’ll share in my learning and progress along the way. I will record the hard days and my inevitable slips alongside the wins.

My hope is that anyone out there who may be struggling too and is looking for a way to simply content and at peace with money and possessions finds a home here. Deep breath… here we go.
