If you haven't heard Part I yet, please go there to familiarize yourself with the societal complications of Greece, and the beauty that you will find in a small town. In this episode, you will hear more about the culture. I hope you will enjoy it! 

What to hear a little more about small towns in Greece? Well, you will be introduced to a hotel worker who operates a family hotel in a small town called, Kavala. You will hear us talk about immigration, race, and societal life here. We open the interview with me buying a traditional bean salad from the small meat and deli market across the cobblestone path where people walk through the shops. I think you will enjoy hearing about their life and wonder here, and my questions as a traveler. 

Thanks, and make sure you check out the other episodes during my journey abroad in Greece and Europe. 

I made it. I beat all odds that bet that I wouldn't go, and I did. I was scared, but I traveled anyway. It was a beautiful experience, and I am happy to share it with you. In this podcast, you will hear some of the adventures that I took while in Ancient Corinth. That's right, where Apostle Paul was writing to the Corinthians. I hope that you will stay with me as I journey through Europe, meeting new folks, eating different foods, and walking the streets for hours! 

There aren't many people that I know who don't like chocolate. I love it. I make it, and now, I have seen how to grow it. I feel so blessed and honored to share at this moment with people from El Salvador...and now you can see it as well. Hopefully, you will meet Anita and Augustine real soon through these podcasts!

I have to thank my friend who I met in France for sharing with me the importance of knowing about how chocolate is made.

While in El Salvador, Anita, whom you have to meet if you have not already, arranged for us to visit his farm. What a surprise to find his work, his views, and his family all creating and living sustainably. It was a beautiful experience, and I'm happy to share it with you. This podcast is not the full recording, nor is it an interview. It is a recording that I took, that he allowed me to share, and to help bring context I have included my voice as commentary and discussing with you as my audience what he discussed with us when we visited. 

I hope to have an exclusive interview with him soon, so please stay tuned!!

He created this video on Youtube, please take a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh1wya85V_0

I spent all of January 2023 traveling in El Salvador. I mainly spent my time with a family in a community in Morazan. You might have heard of this region, as it was the region where the civil war took place back in the 80's that ended in 1992. 

Welcome to my journey of exploring the life and culture of the people in El Salvador. 

Wrapping up 2022 never felt so good and promising. Hallelujah. I share three lessons that I take away from 2022. 1) Lessons related to love 2) Lessons related to life, and 3) Lessons related to being in relationship with others. 

I'm glad you could join me on this part of my journey. Thank you. 

An interview with one of my favorite people who I glean wisdom from, Fly Girl. This is someone who wants to remain anonymous and is from a small tobacco city in NC. You will hear about four areas of living that are important to her: Spiritual, Mental, Physical, and Financial. I hope you will enjoy this podcast as much as I did in talking with her. 

We tend to wrestle a lot with whether or not we are hearing from God. We need to settle this in order to move forward with clarity. Here is an excerpt of a conversation where I challenge my friend and I to settle that in our hearts, for our own sake to help diminish the amount of pain we cause ourselves because we are wrestling with that question. 

Shoveling never felt so good. Until I got sick. That is a different episode. But for now, enjoy the steps to shoveling horse manure in preparation for your compost pile!!
