I was fortunate enough to continue my wine education with a Master Sommelier last night, delving into the captivating realm of South African wines. This has led me to wonder: would a month-long journey in South Africa be a transformative experience? Is it something I should pursue?

Which of my friends has completed the Manitou Incline? I'm thinking I'm adding it to my bucket list of hiking. Best months (April? May?) Did you train?

I can achieve anything, I just haven't achieved everything.
Read that again.
That is why you hire coaches, guides, gurus, whatever you want to call them to help you get there. Success is what you can achieve. It's in you.
Coaches help you transform yourself to get you there. That's a Coach's value.

Adventure Coach Blog #1 | HERstory, part 1
I think I'll start blogging... but on Facebook. Here goes.
A new adventure begins (again) in my life, it's just a budding idea but indulge me and allow me to share. It's important to know because it will lay the foundation for all the professional and/or ridiculous posts that shall come from this page for the next several months (plus!)
It's the 50th anniversary of the day of my birth and while 2024 started out with much angst and worry, I've recovered enough to make some life-altering decisions and seemingly crazy vacation plans. We shall see how much angst and worry it begets, but I don't want to digress so fast.
I'M GOING TO SPAIN - FOR A MONTH
In my almost constant quest to drink the most delicious wines and have the most amazing days (no matter where I am) I have stumbled and then obsessed upon a grape variety called Monastrell. Specifically the Egos Bodegas brand... seriously, try the Fuerza wine, you'll become obsessed too!
And, now I'm taking it to the next level. As part of a branch of my businesses, I plan to bring wine country adventures to as many clients as want them, and smartly. And I mean through coaching. Hence, Adventure Coach
Since 2001 I have visited many different wine areas such as Napa, Temecula, Sonoma, San Luis Obispo, Ohio (Northeast) and really anyplace that has a winery I'm near, I visit - except Willamette Valley and dammit I wanted to, but my teenager wouldn't allow the detour on our vacation together - that's another blog post altogether and I digress.
I've decided to visit the homeland of Monastrell, which also gets me to the homeland of Syrah, Cava, Tempranillo and many other delectable wine varieties. Check out this map image! It's research. And, it will lead to development - so welcome the beginning of the research and development team to Adventure Coach!
I will use this page to post blog entries and pictures with my followers and friends, and friends that are followers.
Stay tuned my peeps, this could get interesting...
