I want money and power
But I'm a woman so I'm not supposed to say that
Money doesn’t grow on trees - and is not for the likes of me.
But I don’t want money to line my pockets and live in luxury on the suffering of others. I don’t want wealth built on the ground bones of those who had no other choice. I want money because money opens up opportunities for communities to connect and create and be empowered.
Power Corrupts
But I don’t want power OVER, I want power TO
I’d have to practice
I’ve never had much money
Or much power
.
I have far more now than ever before
But that doesn’t mean that I can’t have more
So, tell me, if you had more power and money, what difference would you make with it?

I think the human world is 90% obsessed by money now, which is sad. But I see what you mean.
I don't know. After paying off what we've borrowed, enabling us to get on with our plan.....With serious power and wealth buy up tracts of wild land and give them, with protection written in, to organisations who will look after the wilderness. Donations to proper humanitarian organisations to educate and empower the poor, especially girls and women.
Pay off the mortgage because I’ve not “worked” since I’ve had the kids and my husband has taken the financial burden on both our parts.
Find a great catsitter, buy or hire a campervan and properly tour Aotearoa NZ. The cost of living is obscene here so holidays are out of the question. Fortunately we live in a beautiful area, which is great when I have the capacity to leave the house…
Plead with Dr Stacy Sims to work 1:1 with me to sort my broken body out in line with gold standard exercise requirements, whilst still working frequently with my PT.
Replace our petrol cars with electric or hybrid vehicles.
If money were no object, design and build a passive house.
Fly my brother and his young family out to stay with us!
Have a hysterectomy and bilateral oopherectomy today, without worrying about paying for surgery nor subsequent hormonal treatment.
Employ a sound technician/audio producer to help me make a proper podcast, and interview experts for the benefit of the Auti Peri community.
Pay an occupational therapist to be a babysitter for my kids (I otherwise only trust family and very close friends in the homeschool community with their care).
Get some fucking respite.
What would you spend it on that would give you the most benefit? 🥰
