It is challenging to live outside of our cultural norms of spending and acquisition. Some of us live this way by choice and others are forced into this way of life. I am so grateful to you Brandy for leading the way holding a blazing candle – showing us how to live frugally with beauty and grace.Thank you for sharing your family, time, experience, knowledge, and energy with us.Blessings – Libby
