Many of you know that I have an uncanny ability to wish things into my life. My fellow Mesa Verdians witnessed time and time again, times when I would mention that I really needed (or wanted) something and wha-la, the karma gods as I coined them would bring me my wish whether it be a 20" computer monitor, a bookcase or a cool wooden teak screen from World Market. They would always deliver it to one of the dumpsters and I would be incredibly delighted when walking the dogs, I would stumble upon my gift.
It has been years since I lived at Mesa Verde, however, luckily my gift has continued. Many times it happens the night before trash day while walking the dogs and with the invention of Craigslist and the "free stuff" category, I have a whole new way of finding my delights from the karma gods! With my current job, I drive all over town and have found many gifts for myself and others on the curb. Being a home owner with a limited budget, the karma gods have slowly been helping me with projects around the house. I'm also slowly building a photo album of my 'Curbside Delights' to share. Many of my friends and all of my family live far, far away and this is my way of sharing what has been happening around my little homestead. Enjoy!
