    I'm getting used to living more and more like a minimalist and closer to Nature. More than a decade ago I left the race for the American dream of owning more and more, I started abandoning the consumerist habits of everyday life and worrying more about my physical and mental health, as well as our animal and plant relatives.
    I've improved a lot, but I can still go further! ; )
    Thanks so much for this really useful lesson! Much appreciated!
