I love the way you guys have chosen to live your lives! My husband and I also hope to one day achieve the same and we constantly ask ourselves if what we are doing is bringing us closer to our goal. I was looking through youtube the other day at documentaries on how to live a simpler life and all the tips were based around spending less on this and that, but nothing about providing for yourself, which is ultimately what it boils down to. I think we are all looking for a way back to the earth and for spirit to guide us, but it takes a huge wake-up call to realise it. You are so right, simplicity is not the same as laziness! Peace and love to you all <3
Yup. Spending less is not the way through this. Providing for one self and others is the way. It just so happens that when you accomplish that goal, you spend less. I've told people for years, if you want to figure out where your dependencies are, follow the money. Because it is too much of a leap for most people, I tell them to find the smallest 'expense' and find a way to replace it yourself. Then use the money you save to tackle the next item on the list. Eventually you will be able to UNGRIP and be much more free than ever before. Hard work indeed. <3
