How Much is Enough

I am reading Dr.Wayne Dyer's latest book and the reading today was about staying connected to the abundance that is here for me/us. One needs to decide how much is enough and stop the consumption. With more stuff there comes the need to protect what one has accumulated and that brings with it another stress.

Over the past number of years I have consciously chosen to reduce the number of things in my life and to be respectful of what I spend my money on. I ask myself the question "Who's salary am I supporting by spending this energy?" As I accumulate new "stuff" for this adventure I am making sure that the material stuff that I am purchasing supports this question. Thus, I am acquiring a lot from Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC). I also bring green bags to carry my objects home as this will enable a donation to a greener planet by a donation from MEC in lieu of using a bag.

I really believe that small choices can make a huge difference in the world. As I continue to prepare for the trip and make more purchases I will continue to be aware of the effect my choices may have.

The countdown continues:-)
