It’s that time of year, Lent is upon us. All good Catholics give up something or do something to better their life.
Let us get one thing straight. I’m not Catholic. I am a Christian, but not Catholic. Not that being Catholic is bad, I just wasn’t raised to be Catholic. Since I wasn't raised to be Catholic, there are a lot of things that I don’t get about that sect of faith, but I feel like Lent is a good practice for a person in general. If it’s going to help you better your life, then what is the harm in doing it?

I could have gone the easy route. I could have given up chocolate (yeah right) or cussing, but I decided to make this year extra hard on me. I gave up shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories.
YES! That’s right no more shopping until April 25, 2011.
This is hard for me because I shop as a source of entertainment since there is not a lot to do where I live. There really is not a lot of places to shop, but of all things I could be doing, shopping is the easiest to attain.
We will see if I can make it to the end of these 40 days without buying a single new fashion accessory.
