Style has nothing to do with money. Anybody can do it with money. The true art is to do it on a shoestring.
-TOM HOGAN
Since the world, with very few enlightened exceptions, does not celebrate thrift shop chic, why don't we? There are five Simple Abundance strategies that are essential to elevating secondhand skills to new-to-you savvy (they apply to both fashion and decorating): (1) Save. Seek. Find; (2) Understand scale and proportion; (3) Trust your instincts; (4) Train your eye; and (5) Take your time.
1. Save. Seek. Find. Or, as the ancient Vulcan sages put it, "Live well and prosper." If you save while seeking what you really love, you will eventual¬ly find it and have the money to pay for it. (This is how the Universe dress¬es and decorates.) It may take longer than a week, but it will happen. Years from now, we'll meet, probably in a thrift shop, and we'll know each other by the gleam in our eyes. We'll acknowledge each other with the secret slogan, "Save. Seek. Find." I just hope your hand isn't on the mirror I've been eyeing for over my mantel! Oh, go ahead and take it, if it's perfect for you. I know that my authentic good is on its way.
2. Scale and proportion. The real reason that your room or outfit doesn't look like the pictures in a magazine has less to do with your choice of fabric, color, or style than with scale and proportion. Tom Hogan, co-owner of the sassy, thrift-shop-chic home furnishings shop Chartreuse in New York, believes the secret to a great-looking room (or outfit) comes down to striving for balance. Not symmetry, so much, as the visual weight of scale and proportion. For example, if you have one big, hffiy piece at one end of a room, you need to balance it with another bulky shape at the other end. If you want to mix modern and rustic for an eclectic look, go ahead, just make sure each style is represented in the same proportion.
3. Trust your instincts. You know what you love. Don't be guided by "friends, fads and fashion," advises Tom Hogan. If you do, six months from now you'll be so tired of the item, you won't want to walk into the room or your closet. "That is money wasted."
4. Train your eye. "Your eye is used to a certain look, so anything different is going to look funny," says Tom. Before you order twenty yards of a new fabric, live with a sample draped over the furniture for a couple of weeks. If your eyes don't adjust, you know it's not for you. In the same way, your eye may not be used to seeing a piece of furniture, so give it a chance to fit in. After a week you might realize that the table that doesn't work in the living room would be perfect for the bedroom if you painted it white.
5. Take your time don't be in a hurry to pull it all together. People make the mistake of doing it too fast and then they end up hating it," Tom counsels. The best rooms and wardrobes seem to evolve gradually They don't spring from your head or a store in finished form. And always leave room for inspiration. You may never know what "find du jour" you'll discover tomorrow.
Next time you head out the door on a shopping expedition, just remember: authentic style has nothing to do with money and everything to do with trusting your instincts. Class dismissed.

Golden Opportunity
Few motivational talks have influenced or inspired as many people as the famous Victorian lecture that was known as "Acres of Diamonds." Russell H. Conwell, a former newspaper correspondent and minister, delivered his speech more than six thousand times between 1877 and 1925. When it was published it became an immediate best-seller and a classic in inspirational literature.
The story Conwell told in his lecture had enormous appeal. It recounted the life of a Persian farmer named Ali Hafed who sold his farm and left his family to travel the world in search of wealth. He looked everywhere but he could not find the diamonds he lusted after. Finally, alone and in despair as a homeless pauper, he ended his own life. His search for riches had consumed him. In the meantime, the man who bought the land from Hafed was grateful for every blade of grass that was now his and lavished love and hard work on his farm. At night, surrounded by his family and eating the fruits of his labor, he was a contented man. Finally one day he made a remarkable discovery. In the backyard that Ali Hafed had abandoned was a diamond mine-literally an acre of diamonds. The simple farmer became wealthy beyond his wildest dreams.
To Russell Conwell this story said, "Your diamonds are not in in far distant mountains or in yonder seas; they are in your own backyard, if you but dig for them.
Conwell used this parable to illustrate an extraordinary and wonderful message: within each of us lies a wellspring of abundance and the seeds of opportunity. For each of us there is a deeply personal dream waiting to be discovered and fulfilled. When we cherish our dream and then invest love, creative energy, perseverance, and passion in ourselves, we will achieve an authentic success.
Where is your acre of diamonds? If you could do anything in the world, what would it be? Yes, that very thing right now that you believe is impossible! Would you open a store, nurture a family, design a dress, write a screenplay?
We all have an acre of diamonds waiting to be discovered, cherished, and mined. We all have a place from where to begin. Let your imagination soar, for it is your soul's blueprint for success. On the Simple Abundance path you will discover that your own opportunity for personal success, authentic happiness, and financial serenity is as close as your own backyard.

Daily Gratitude Journal
There are several tools that I'm going to suggest you use as you begin your inner exploration. While all of them will help you become happier and more content and will nurture your creativity, this first tool could change the quality of your life beyond belief: it's what I call a daily gratitude journal. I have a beautiful blank book and each night before I go to bed, I write down five things that I can be grateful about that day. Some days my list will be filled with amazing things, most days just simple joys. "Indy got lost in a fierce typhoon but I found him shivering, wet but unharmed. I listened to Pavarotti while cleaning and remembered how much I love opera.
Other days-rough ones-I might think that I don't have five things to be grateful for, so I'll write down my basics: my health, my family, their health, my colleagues, my home, my friends, and the comfortable bed that I'm about to get into, as well as the fact that the day's over. That's okay. Real life isn't always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgment of what is working in our lives can help us not only survive but overcome our difficulties.
The gratitude journal has to be the first step on the Abundance path or it just won't work for you. Simplicity, order, harmony, beauty, and joy-- all the other principles that can transform your life will not blossom and flourish without gratitude. If you want to travel this journey with me, the gratitude journal is not an option.
Why? Because you simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.
I have told you that the Abundance path is a transformative process. We're going to work on one principle for two months at a time, trying to weave that principle into the fabric of our daily life.
Let's begin today with gratitude. Select the prettiest, most inviting blank book you can find for your gratitude journal. Make a pleasant outing for its selection. Or, you can create one Gratitude Journal folder in your yahoo or gmail accounts. Or, if you want to share it with the world, put it on Facebook or your Twitter sites. One of the most valuable lessons Abundance has taught me is that it is in the smallest details that the flavor of life is savored.
As the months pass and you fill your journal with blessings, an inner shift in your reality will occur. Soon you will be delighted to discover how content and hopeful you are feeling. As you focus on the abundance rather than on the lack "in your life, you will be designing a wonderful new blueprint for the future. This sense of fulfillment is gratitude at work, transforming your dreams into reality.
A French proverb reminds us that "Gratitude is the heart's memory." Begin this day to explore and integrate this beautiful, life-affirming principle into your life, and the miracle you have been seeking will unfold to your wonder and amazement.

Blessing our Abundance
After accepting our present circumstances, no matter what they are, we must learn to bless them. Right. Bless misery? Through your gritted teeth if necessary. Usually we don't know why something has occurred and we won't until there's enough distance to take a backward glance. However, blessing whatever annoys us is the spiritual surrender that can change even troublesome situations for the better. Blessing the circumstances in our lives also teaches us to trust.
Over the years my easiest and most joyous lessons have been learned through blessing. If you're sick and tired of learning life's lessons through pain and struggle, blessing your difficulties will show you there's a better way.
A powerful set of blessings that I read from the teachings of Stella Terrill Mann, a Unity minister who wrote during the 1940s, encourages us to greet the morning with the affirmation "Blessed be the morning for me and my loved ones," At noon declare, "Blessed be the day for me and mine," and in the evening, invoke this prayer: "Blessed be the night for me and mine." As you go about your work at home or in the office, affirm, "My work is a prayer for good for me and mine." These affirmations of good will bring many blessings into your daily life, as they have in mine.
Then start to count your blessings. Start today. Make a spiritual inventory of all your blessings. See if you can't get to one hundred. So much good happens to us but in the rush of daily life we fail even to notice or acknowledge it. Writing it down focuses our attention on the abundance already within our grasp and makes it real.

Good cheer and prosperity
My grandma used to tell us when we’re kids, “Don’t frown or quarrel inside the house.”
If we take that literally in a funny way, we can do what she’s forbidding us to do outside the house. No. Seriously, what she meant was we should avoid wearing a long face wherever we go and whatever time of the day. Why? She said that if we looked grumpy, God’s Angels of Blessings would get scared to come near us, then we wouldn’t get any of those blessings. So, she said, “Be cheerful all the time!”
As I grew older, I began to understand her meaning of the word. Cheerfulness means poise, serenity, a sane wholesome, well-balanced outlook on life. The cheerful person knows that there is much misery in the world, but that misery needs not be the rule of life. If one has more cheerfulness in life, it means one has more happiness, more success, more efficiency, more character, a larger future. The cheerful person does not cramp his mind and take half views of things.
More cheerfulness will help one all along the line of life. It will help bear one’s burdens; it will increase one’s courage, strengthen one’s character, make one more effective, more popular, more helpful. It will make one a happier, more successful person.
Have you ever noticed that it is the cheerful, hopeful, optimistic people who succeed and who’s got plenty of friends? And those who’s got sour, gloomy natures fail, or drag their feet along in mediocrity, who never amount to anything? A habit of cheerfulness enables one to change obvious misfortunes into real blessings.
At life’s onset, Orison S. Marden, a writer, says , a cheerful optimistic temperament is worth everything. A cheerful person, who always looks on the bright side, who is ever ready to seize victory from defeat, is the successful one.
Everybody avoids the company of those who are always grumbling, who always scowl, sarcastic, who are full of “ifs” and “buts”, and “I told you so’s.” We like the person who always looks toward the sun, whether it shines or not. It is the cheerful, hopeful person we go for sympathy and assistance, not the despondent, downcast, gloomy critic, who always thinks it is going to rain, and that we are going to have a terribly hot summer, or a fearful thunderstorm, or who is forever complaining of hard times. It is the bright, cheerful, hopeful, contented person who makes his way, who is respected and admired.
Gloom and depression not only take much out of life, but divert greatly from the chances of winning success. It is the bright and cheerful spirit that wins the final triumph.
So, my grandma used to say, “Be cheerful, and Prosperity will follow.” Thank goodness, she was right!

The Laws of Creating Wealth and Abundance
The Laws of Creating Wealth and Abundance is a result of practicing the Laws of Prosperity. For now, we should focus on how we can have that wealth and abundance in our life.
The power of thought is an instrument for success or failure. Failure is basically the result of failure thinking. The right use of your mind could become the key to healthy, happy, prosperous, successful living.
You've heard much about positive thinking. Now, we'll use the new term - prosperous thinking. 'Prosper' means to 'flourish, succeed, thrive, to experience favorable results.' Prosperous thinking gives you the power to make your dreams come true, whether those dreams are concerned with better health, increased financial success, a happier personal life, or a deeper spiritual life.
Years ago, a salesman used the power of prosperous thinking, although he may not consciously been aware of it. When people asked him, 'How's business?' he always gave his standard answer: Business is wonderful because there's gold dust in the air!' For him it certainly seemed to be so - every contact became a sale.
1. You cannot get something for nothing
The basic law of prosperity speaks of sowing and reaping, or giving and receiving. Emerson described it as the law of compensation, whereby like attracts like. When people do not give or sow in terms of prosperity, they make no contact with God's lavish abundance, and so there is no channel formed through which the rich, unlimited substance of the universe can pour forth its riches to them.
2. You can always give something
There’s always something a person can give, either tangibly or intangibly, that will put him in touch with God’s rich supply. You can donate some of your money to the church or to your favorite charity. Or, you can teach a colleague about how a new computer program works, or you can give up your seat in a bus or train for an old man or pregnant woman.
3. Radiate and you will attract
I have observed in talking to hundreds of people who have gone from failure to success that it is what we really think deep within ourselves most of the time that unconsciously attracts like results to us. There is an age-maxim that says, “We are where we are because we are what we are, and we are what we are because of our habitual thinking,
4. Mental preparation comes first
All things can be accomplished within the mind first because it is the connecting link between the formed and the unformed world. It’s up to you to claim your great good over everything and to dare change or reform your world as you wish!
5. Be deliberate about your wealth
What you do radiate or deliberately entertain mentally you constantly attract. Instead of fretting about whether the law of radiation and attraction is working tightly in the lives of others, proceed quietly to prove the law of prosperous thinking for yourself.
6. You are Magnetic
Each of us is a magnet! And as a magnet, you do not have to force success and prosperity to yourself. Instead, you can develop that exalted, expectant, prosperous state of mind that is a magnet for all good things of the universe to hasten to you. Stop thinking that people, things, circumstances and conditions have power to hurt or harm you. Start realizing that nothing can stand between you and that good that you dare to choose mentally and radiate outward through your thoughts, feelings, words and expectancies.
7. Outer steps will come easily
Of course, I do mean to imply that you simply entertain and radiate the mental equivalent of the good desired, and then do nothing more. Wealth will not fall magically onto your lap. Often you have to take definite external steps as well. But you will discover that, by working out the mental concept of the desired good first, the outer steps will then unfold easily – almost automatically at times – without strained effort on your part. The more you turn your mind in rich directions, the more you have a way of going forth and producing right opportunities, events and circumstances for prosperity and success.
8. Put your best foot forward
Another way to ‘look up’ regardless of financial appearances, is to put your best foot forward. Wear your best clothes; look your best. Live as richly as possible on what you already have.
9. Make room for your good
We all want better financial conditions and we should have them. Here is one way to obtain them: Do not talk about financial lack, but begin thinking in terms of the rich, universal abundance that is everywhere. Do not talk about other people's lack as you are emitting negative thoughts to them which you will attract back to yourself. Instead, pray for them. Then learn to let go, to give up, to make room for the things that you prayed for, worked for and so strongly desire. As you give up old ideas, attitudes, old possessions, and put in their place new ideas of prosperity and progressive achievements, your conditions will steadily improve.
10. Write down your desires
The law of creative prosperity is to take your deep-seated desires, and instead of suppressing them as impossible dreams, begin expressing them constructively through deciding what they really are. Keep yourself a journal, or a diary and make a list or draw up some kind of potential plan, which you should feel free to change, revise, reform and rearrange as your ideas about it unfold. Your writing out your desires and formulating a plan on paper clarifies the desires in your mind, and the mind produces definite results only when it has been given definite ideas through which to work.
