Y’all I have been making more than $50,000 all year for the first time in my life and I feel like I found the cheat code. Easier to donate, save, and less stress. It is almost like being paid a fair wage for my labor is the answer to many money problems 🤣

Just because I'm #exvangelical doesn't mean I'm ex-spiritual. If anything, I'm trying to discover the sacred and profound in the midst of everyday life.
For example, I find open source to be a very spiritual practice. Creating shared value and giving it away is a religious act.
