The Journey to Here explores the twists and turns of life, business, and growth, sharing practical wisdom on Life Skills and Building success. Along the way, we learn valuable lessons that we share with you, as we create a life that blends technology with simple living. All with a dash of humor and real-life stories from our rural Southern European home.
We've decided to give this a second chance. And have learned again about value, friendship, community and wealth. We hope you are enjoying your journey to life and the beauty it may bring!

We all love something new, something different. We love change, now don't we? Not always, and too often when we change too many things at once we cannot decide which thing is making the positive diff…

Why is it so darn hard to get your thoughts to get quiet? We chat about why it is so important to be still, sit on that rock, and let your mind...wander...
...then someone else will. How can you be more effective with the time given to you, especially as you move through the different phases of life and a career?
We chat about how going "dormant" - taking a break, having a rest, spending time thinking...does not mean "death". If nature is taking a break to get rid of the dead wood - shouldn't you too?
Sometimes you have to follow a different route to get to your destination. And it is frustrating if it is not straight and easy. How do you navigate zig-zagging on your journey through life? Is th…

We talk about how each choice we make (or do not make) gives us an opportunity for something new, different, and another step in the journey.
In this episode we reply to a recent message we received. We answer the question about how we can limit the bombardment by media, and rather take control of personal growth and joy and development.

Name days, Birthdays, funerals and wine, for breakfast... A short episode about the importance of being there, for all the moments, as much as possible
We discuss how to create discretionary time by "blocking" large chunks of time out of your diary, and maybe get more productive hours out of the same day.
