Just by reading this, I have counted so many things I am doing wrong! I suck at Thank you notes (especially since my sister allows my children to open there birthday presents without me in the room and doesn’t write down what she got!) I know I have and wear white shoes, do sandal or strappy heals count? And I have a candle burning right now that smells like apple crumble or pumpkin pie, or something like that! Wow, a real eye opener!
Katie,
That’s why I wrote this so we all are in the “know”.
I think that yes, it is important to fill peoples mailboxes with happiness instead of bills all the time, but I will say that you are not “elegant” if you are offended if you don’t receive a “Thank you”, if you give to receive, you aren’t giving for the “right” reasons. Give out of Love, and that is all. Love cannot be received, only given, and saying “thank you” is giving love too. I simply thought that it is such a nice idea to fill mailboxes with love, instead of bills.
As for white shoes, they don’t look good for long, so in these trying times I think that it would be best to invest in something that will last a little longer. So, the book says, don’t wear them unless it is your wedding or you are under 12 years old. There are beautiful shoes out there in all shades, but they should be an investment, you should LOVE them. If you LOVE white shoes and they make you feel sexy or powerful, GODSPEED.
As for the “food” candle, hey, it is your home, if you want it to smell like food, GO FOR IT. The smells are very sweet, and make some people (me) sick. The little pink book never mentioned what kind of smell, that was my opinion!
I am grateful for your questions and my heart is with you on your journey,
