Shedding my skin.

Hearing tales of those out there that lose their families, their jobs, or their souls makes me quite nervous to place many of my thoughts on display for the hordes, but once in a while, I need to just brain dump. I plan on ridding myself of most of my material posessions over the next 6 months, and completely eliminating any debt that I have. I have discovered, thanks to this, that I don't need "things" to make me happy. I have been mistaken about this for I would say a good 30 of my 32 years. My faith, my Family, and my Friends are all that are necessary to make me smile.

I do enjoy what I do for a living, but I find that the more I work, the more I buy, the more I want...... See a pattern there? I made a friend this summer that has taught me so much about life through so very few words. I have been researching the voluntary simplicity movement for the past 2 years, and have realized that it is the path for me to take. I am not going to run out and join a hippy commune, or become a strict vegan, although I am already a vegetarian. I still believe that there are some things in life worth having, but going into deep debt for them is ridiculous.

Wish me luck, this is going to be quite a transformation.
