What would you do if you didn't need the money?

I don't think I can actually post from here.  As in the iPad.  But hey. (Hey it worked!)  I wanted to write.  Sore throat is definitely on the mend.   Yesterday I had to get up and seek painkillers in order to sleep.  This morning I felt OK when I woke up.  Not that that lasted, and I have taken some now.  But hey.  It's better than yesterday!!  Always good.

What if money didn't matter - Alan Watts from Evoke & Evolve on Vimeo.

Last night, and for a few days actually m since I watched this video again.  I am going to have to find it now.....  (found it!! its here now) About what won of you do if money didn't matter.  It's a good question.  I thought I would sped a bit of time writing what it was that I liked to actually spend my time doing.  I was surprised actually as I came up with a list of things that I am doing.

Make Art
Make things
Going on art retreats
Cooking good food
Yoga
Getting involved in cool rejects
Meeting interesting people
Blogging
Hanging out with Bub
Travelling and visiting friends (ok I need to do more of this one )
Working on building a stylish wardrobe and having a nicely decorated home
Local baby sales
Art workshops
Supporting causes I believe in
Being greener

I can say that in all of these things I could do more.  But it was deeply reassuring that I am. O the right track.  These are the ways I enjoy spending my time, and I would enjoy spending perhaps more of my time doing these things if I were richer.  But I wouldn't change any of it.  Perhaps I would travel more, hire a cleaner, pay people to help me do up my house, or I won ld go on more art retreats, yoga holidays, have a bigger art studio, get solar heating etc.  but its all just more of what I am doing already.  I am actually on the right track for me.

Having said that.  This morning I read this....  Post from Gypsy Love Cafe, and felt really inspired.  So there is some part of me that also would pick up and take off and live a wild and feral life, doing yoga and art and finding my tribe.  Living outside for a while.  In the sunshine.   So.  Maybe that dream needs a little injection of practical action!!

I cant imagine not needing money. Without this you would need purpose as well as activities so I think that making life better for others would suddenly fill up a lot more space. Good, thought provoking stuff.
