...and Autonomy Is Better than Money (although I have nothing against money...really.)

I've never had a wealth of cash. I own my own business and get to schedule my life around the people I love and writing. It's a trade-off. I've been offered some sweet jobs, too. Jobs that would make me a comfortable living, but I would give up something too precious to me: freedom.

Someday I'll figure out how to keep the freedom and have the wealth. Until then, I consider myself fortunate.
