The challenge before you will be to continue what you've already begun, weaving together the three great human strengths: our unique gifts, as expressed in creativity and diversity; our desire for community; and our need for individual freedom.

Financial Independence 
may be closer than you think!

Particularly when you adopt the 
"Light Footprint Lifestyle"

How do we achieve the elusive balance between time & money?  If we objectively analyse our situation, many of us have the means to take a step or two back from the daily rat race to consider where we spend most of our precious time on the spectrum of <BEING<-->DOING<-->HAVING>.   

This site is filled with links to practical tools and tips to help you design your own financial independence -- and it could be much closer than you think.  How are you spending your life energy?  What does it take to experience fulfillment?  How do you contribute to the greater good?

Create YOUR unique lifestyle
Achieve the Time/Money Balance

Learn when "enough is enough" for a fulfilling lifestyle.

What is abundance?  Here's my take...

I've always felt abundance, even when I've had few material possessions.  It's Jolly Toad, not Struggling Toad!  Time, love and money all fit  into the equation.  In the end its not about possessions; its all about relationships.  With ourselves, with others, with our possessions... and with the incredible abundance of the universe we live in.

Have Fun & Contribute to others!

Life can be a struggle.  But it doesn't have to be!  Some people have figured out how to achieve that delicate balance between having enough time and having enough money.  And I'm not talking about a lot of money!  That's one key...  knowing when enough is enough.  Self-sufficiency, not "selfish-ency."  (Ok, so I made that one up...  I like the sound of it!)

Some folks never have enough of either -- time OR money!  Now that sounds like a good description of hell to me!

How do we measure success?

What is true happiness?

What does personal fulfillment look like?

These are some of the "simple(!)" questions we Jolly Toads wrestle with.  And we pause for the occasional laugh!
