Thank you, I love these ideas and way of looking at the world. Especially as I often feel like a failure for not fitting into the norm in many of the ways you describe.
YES! YES! YES! Thank you for articulating this calling to the smaller and more simplified but truly richer and more meaningful life so beautifully as a culture-transforming life purpose. I have been thinking about this for a long time and longing to create it. I did tons of research into this when my children were small—making a cob house from mud, growing my own food, going off-grid, building an intentional community, but it all felt so overwhelming to do alone. (Trying to organic garden by myself as a single mom was an abject fail.) You awakened this yearning in me to explore this again and made it feel approachable and actionable.

I think that may be your gift, to not fit into any of those systems :) I hope you can let yourself see it as such!
