That was beautiful to read Eve. I felt something similar this year. Before I quit my job in December, I was always on the hunt for "more". Now I don't care for material things, so I saved up a nice safety cushion. And now that I am finally doing what I love most, I am much more relaxed, even though my income is nowhere close yet where it was before and my "logical" self tells me I need to be stressed... . I am relaxed because I live each day doing what I love.
