Sorry, I got distracted yesterday and wanted to respond to other parts of your great comment too. I am doing the Deepak Chopra Abundance challenge, as naff as that sounds, and though I'm a few days behind and know a lot of the ideas he's espousing, it has reinforced for me how I get so bound up with the money culture even though I KNOW it doesn't equate to happiness. We don't live beyond our means, don't have a huge mortgage or expensive cars, and like you say, I earn less to contribute more to the world by doing more important things! And I want to do more - I just have to let go of that nervous feeling of not having enough - and one of those things is flights. It's hard when your husband is British too and you kinda HAVE to have that money stashed for flights to go back once or twice every couple of years. But we'll figure it out I'm sure - step one is working less and earning less. Hive account@riverflows xx
