“This is a journey that, for me, began many years ago and continues still. It involves faith, love, hope. It includes travel, food, naked people, courage, real life, holidays, new friends, and new traditions. It’s about work and play, community, daily rhythms; it’s about the moments that make up a life. It’s a journey to presence. To going off the grid and living life with intentionality. To choosing peace over chaos, little by little turning down the noise, one discovery at a time. It’s a journey to quickening the desperation for contentment and inviting the good, true, and beautiful. Let’s walk in this together. Lay down the chaos and be prepared to get your breath back.”

“The point of this book is to learn the money habits that will enable you to live the life you want. In order to do that, you’ve got to know what you value. That’s right—what you value, not what your friends value and not what the culture says you should value. Your values are up to you, but too many people never take the time to figure out what’s really important to them. They just go with the flow and chase the life everyone else is chasing without ever stopping to ask what they want for themselves.”
― Rachel Cruze, NOT A BOOK: Love Your Life, Not Theirs: 7 Money Habits for Living the Life You Want

“It made me realize how important it is not just to be aware of your habits but also to take control of them if you want to truly take control of your life.”

“It’s time to revisit lessons I’ve learned, time to take them further. It’s time to inspect my baggage again, to see what has snuck in there since the last time I cleaned it out. It’s time to ask the harder questions, to cultivate deeper contentment. It’s time to confront what I’m afraid of, what I feel I’m entitled to, and that comparison that plays nasty tricks on me. I’m prepared to be unpleasantly surprised, to unearth stuff that I thought only existed in other people. I’m prepared to find something sparkly in myself and in the offerings of a God who loves me. I’m prepared to do hard work, to reflect, rethink, repent, and rejoice. And I’m prepared to laugh at myself and other people, because, after all, the human species is comedy at its best.”
