Gosh darn it, those are some beautiful photos! I can see now why you chose to live mindfully and minimally! I think you made a wise decision, personally. I commend you in your efforts. The Earth is such an amazing place and we are truly blessed to be alive at such a time as this. We should be more mindful in taking care of our Mother Earth and I think one of the suggestions I find valuable is to be careful in our consumption such as in the use of plastics. I learned recently that BPA is used in the lining of many of the foods we consume, and I thought about how it would make a world of a difference to stop using plastics that contain these potentially dangerous chemicals, not just for health reasons but as a means to show that I am Earth conscious when spending.

This post gave me a lot to consider such as what is most important to me, and what are my values. I value friendship most of all, and that's something that money can't buy. I value having time to enjoy the things I like to do which are painting and music, so I want to focus on those areas as well. I want to have the freedom to travel and enjoy spending time with others who are creatively inclined so having economic freedom is something I want to work towards, such as building up my skills in writing so that I can become a freelance writer instead of working a nine-to-five that I don't really enjoy. So, I'd say that I value being honest, too and living a life of passion according to my own beliefs instead of just going along to get along.
