What an incredible response to the "30 Day" challenge. Thank you all for your interest and support.
Some of you have indicated that you would be interested in joining, but September is not a good month for you.Addie had a good suggestion in the comments.
What a wonderful thought: people from all over fasting from consumerism every month of the year. If that sounds interesting to you, leave your link and the month you will fast at the discussion page. I will leave the discussion open and running as long as people are willing to participate.I'm thinking about doing this in October instead…. I wonder if there would be 10 more people and we could have one person doing it for a month for a year
Another suggestion (from Lyn) is to donate the savings (from all the things you aren't buying) to support a charity. A fabulous, compassionate idea that I think we will be doing as well.
On a personal note, I find that the struggle has already begun. I am fighting the urge to stock up and hoard for the weeks ahead, or buy things now because I won't be able to for a month. The urge to consume is insidious.
