Abundant Spending: A few days later…

I did indeed fall behind in my 30-days of abundance spending. Work and the story I’m working on have been distracting me. But never fear! Today I get to spend $102,400 - and I’m going to invest in a friend with that money.

My friend owns a defunct bakery, and wants to get [...]
