Ciao Amica Mia, Greetings to you on this Sacred Sunday! I hope you’re well and taking good care. Recently I began the monumental job of de-cluttering and sorting through old photo albums. While it feels spectacular when the task is completed, the process often sucks. As you can imagine, a lot of emotion tends to…
Ciao Amica Mia, I hope this Sacred Sunday finds you well. The photo above is a smart phone pic of a canvas wrap a good friend gifted me. It doesn’t do the art justice, but I wanted you to see and get a feel for it. My friend is one of the most creative people I know. I…
Ciao Amica Mia, Has this ever happened to you? You’re doing the dishes, standing in line at the grocery, preparing dinner, or paying bills when a memory washes over you. In a flash a seam opens, time stands still and you are right back in the moment. Well, that happened to me the other day. I was…
Ciao Amica Mia, This was another historic week in the States! Joe Biden chose Senator Kamala Harris for his Vice-Presidential running mate. I’m allowing myself to be happy. And, dare I say, even a little hopeful. And you know what else, I don’t care one hoot if Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris because it was…
Ciao Amica Mia, As life continues to flow one day into the other, I’m hoping you’re able to pause and enjoy the gift of simply being alive. Some days that’s not so easy. Trust me I know. Some days, what we’re now calling our new normal, feels overwhelming. Last week I’m convinced I picked the sucky-lucky lotto winner….
Ciao Amica Mia, I’m down on my knees grateful as I scroll through social media and see how the narrative is beginning to change. Even if only in small segments of the population. Shifting ever so slightly away from near-naked women located in exotic places, executing advanced yoga poses, to posts and photos that pull…
Ciao Amica Mia, I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t exposed to poetry while growing up. Instead our house was filled with music. My dad’s record collection was extensive, from the Big Band Era featuring crooners like Frank Sinatra, to Broadway tunes and opera. The walls of our home rang with the voices of…
Ciao Amica Mia, Did you know that I’m from the generation that as a child was threatened with having soap put in your mouth if you used a cuss word? It’s hard to imagine my sweet loving mother actually doing that. But on the other hand, she was a working woman with four rambunctious kids. So,…
Ciao Amica Mia, Greetings to you on this Sacred Sunday. I hope that you’re continuing to feel the auspiciousness of last weekend’s full moon and eclipse. It’s a perfect time to gain clarity on the vision you hold for yourself and the world. Earlier this week I posted on social media a photo of a rock I…
Ciao Amica Mia, Here in the United States, we’re celebrating the fourth of July and Independence Day. Plus, it’s a full moon and another lunar eclipse. Holy Cannoli, it’s intense! Unfortunately, this year mandatory mask wearing while in public in many states, physical distancing and stay at home recommendations make family barbecues and gatherings, that honor our…
