Do you have pleonexia?
By Valerie Weaver-Zercher
Page 8
Beyond the media, who or what influences my desires and choices about purchases?
What is it about a particular item that draws me to it? How else might that desire be satisfied?
What value might it add to my life or to the life of others? What might it take away from me, others, or the planet?
How much of my time and energy will be required to acquire it or maintain it?
How does this item support or detract from my calling?
By Anne Kaufman Weaver
