So, what are you going to do with the rest of your
life? How many times have we told that
to our kids or heard others ask young people around us? For Linda and me, the question just got a lot
louder.

Maybe a little background is in order. Linda has been unable to continue her work in
the dental field due to a neck injury.
She has been on a mission the past 18 months to study nutrition and
holistic health with the goal of being a health coach. Linda is passionate about health and
organic food and a sustainable life. She is also an accomplished photographer
and shares my love of travel and new cultures.
For me, I have had a dream to live a more flexible,
significant life for a while. To teach
and coach executives, invest in interesting innovative companies and to also
create a more sustainable world in our sphere of influence.
AND, we want to live, teach, cook, study, share our summers in Veglio and
travel through Europe.

Sounds good but at the same time, I have been on a tread
mill job for a very large multinational three letter firm. In many ways, this job was a self imposed
hurdle to driving through the unknown of creating the work and life that we
both long for.
So, this past week, I made the decision to leave the corporate job behind and to go boldly in the direction of our dreams. And together with Linda, Alexandra, Kurtis and Alexis, we are answering the question: What are you going to do with the rest of your life?
Linda and I are now on to the business of creating our new
businesses. And to find out how we are
going to be able to spend two months a year in our little village. Oh and did I say that I sold my cherished
911 Carrera S! Simplifying our lives
must be more than a theory, so our German friend found a new home….to be likely
replaced by a old 4x4 Fiat that we can putter around in while we are in
Italy.
So we take another step in our Journey to Veglio.
