Day 14: Consumerism is a voracious monster...

Elizabeth petting a dog in Haiti. She's so cute in scrubs. (I'm probably going to get in trouble for this).

I started the audio book today on my way to work, "Consumer Detox". It was written by a British guy from a UK perspective which is, well, it's identical to the US perspective on consumerism. We aren't alone folks.

Big issues the book has covered so far: 1. dissatisfaction with our stuff even though we have way more stuff than we need. 2. we are all constantly bombarded with a multi-billion dollar marketing machine and are pretty much helpless to defend ourselves against it.

Okay, so not a happy start. I'll update you when the news is good.

In other news, I've had no sugar, tons of coffee and maintained social media silence since arriving home from work! Yay! Freedom!

I'm going for a walk. Peace!
