I still have a job, but it's one I participate in with joy as I work at a successful family owned plant nursery and landscaping business. I also help a local artist sell art in exchange for using his car, and work on a small CSA farm in exchange for a small cottage to live in. I have student loan debt, so I still work, but I Am certainly moving more towards this model. It feel good to reorient priorities and create abundance and value in non-monetary ways. It's hard because the place I live could transform into a landscape that pushes out low income living and small farms, but I know for as many rich people as there are buying winter homes they use once a year, there are many farming communities creating alternative opportunities as well. The coming years will certainly play a pivotal role in the future of this planet and how we as a society choose to live. Because something's gotta change. Shift happens.
