To be content in my life means to give up my addiction to have material things, especially for the luxury of decorating myself and my life. The cost is that I do not get to have the entitlement to convenient shopping when there is injustice at the other end of the production. To be grateful is to use what I have been graciously given, even if I worked for it, and use it to empower others whether in time, conversation, or purchases.
Being an ethical shopper is very hard at times with finding products, having the money to invest in them, and to be consistent in it. I knew this would not be easy, but goodness gracious, it is making a difference.
