On the left hand column you can read an overview her mission statement. She is so inspiring and has really brought home to me the idea that you CAN live with spending less money if you are inventive and are not afraid to have less than most people in the Western world have nowadays. I don't think that at this moment I could live totally off the land in the way that she does, but I really enjoy getting the odd snippet of advice about how to create and recycle things at home, things that I would automatically go out to the shops and buy such as washing powder and cleaning rags. hope this helps, Lune I follow a really inspiring blog called ‘these days in french life’ by Riana Lagarde here: http://frenchtoastfrance.blogspot.com/

Life is giving you this wish in a beautiful way. If wealth is not growing strong, lasting connections with people and nature, what is? My very, very wealthy friend says, "Wealth is what you have when the money's gone." Lovely post, thanks Lacey. Well your wish is to live more abundantly.
