The World Needs More Of:

1. A more heartfelt, soulful definition of “enough”

WOW factor: “Simplicity, Small Joys, Financial Independence.” I wrote this down on a napkin as I was flying back from spending a year abroad studying at Oxford University 1990-1991… reflecting upon what I’d learned and what I wanted to use as the core anchors for my life. 28 years later, those three touchstones remain the same and have helped me at points of confusion, overwhelm or crisis… more easily identify (even from a list of really sub-optimal choices!) what next step would bring me back closer to those guiding principals.
