Hill Girls

Last month I spent a fantastic week with 17 beautiful Hill women.

We talked and laughed, drank lots of coffee in the morning and wine at nite.... we ate and giggled and shopped and told stories and posed for many, many photos.... We rode scooters on islands and climbed lighthouses and smoked cigars and had campfires and hugged tight and wondered why we have let all this time go by without at trip like THIS.

Dollars, Sense...

Lately I've thought a lot about money.

Not about how much I have (or really, don't) or want or need (or really, don't), but just about how money determines pretty much everything. People who have money have not only their basic needs met, but they have access, they have choices, they have worries who only go so far.... they can afford to dream, they can afford to vacation, they can afford healthcare. They can consider education and they can sleep at night. People who don't have money are lucky to have their basic needs met, but have no access, no choices, no vacation, no real healthcare, no sleep. No rest.

Money can build and destroy. Money can bring unity and divide nations. Everyone needs it, everyone wants it, everyone works all day to make more of it, just to spend it and have to work again to earn more of it. It kind of blows my mind to consider that a basic unit of currency sets the world in motion.... And I wonder... Was it supposed to be this way?

This photo shares some beautiful thoughts on money.... from the amazing (and impoverished) Tanzania. Great (free) food for thought....
