I can see the beauty of your vision more and more in my own life, Lee. And I think we have thrown this notion around before in this group. As time goes on, I rely less on money in any conventional sense, and more on the flow of wealth in my life. Every dime is not necessarily earned by the sweat of my brow anymore, and I have more "things" coming to me than I can possibly use. I end up spending time to find someone else that will receive these things and find them useful, continuing the flow. Money often comes to me from unexpected places now, so that my past relationship between work and income is redefining itself before my very eyes. Not easy, in that there was a security in knowing the guarantee of an income while pursuing a career. Now, "knowing" that the Lord provides requires the quelling of anxiety within, and fearlessly stepping into what can be, allowing the path to form beneath my foot.
