  • Live in a small, just-enough house with a big fireplace and land enough to raise chickens, grow my own veggies and raspberries, and have a swing and hammock.

  • Adopt foster kids
  • Host community potlucks, and music/open mic nights regularly.
  • Have a garden (permaculture design?) and at least a few apple trees!
