I knew when I started writing I wanted to inspire people about Italy and my passion for this country but more I wanted to arouse the inner spirit of the people who read it and remind them that everyday is their TODAY & Tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us. If you want something you must seize the moment.

Many people read my blog & send me comments both public & private and this is my inspiration & motivation. Possibly more than I can put into words. I do not have a big family and my heart breaks for this factor but God blessed me with amazing friends who are my family & have seen me through the good & the bad. I love them deeply!

Now the shocker … One day, this past February I received an email from this woman named Susan. It took me several minutes to digest and about an hour of shock BUT this was my cousin whom I have NEVER had a relationship with in my life. We had only met a handful of times & I was young. Once composed, I responded to her email. Since that day, tears, laughter, photos & PERSPECTIVE (which was the post I wrote & posted on her birthday & how she happen to find me) have been shared.

We email & skype like little girls and so many times we are both in awe that we share the same thoughts. All the years we didn’t have together we are making up for TODAY!
Susan was nervous to send me the email she sent. I was nervous to respond but once we let go of the fear & opened our hearts, the greatest gift of all was revealed … LOVE!

Tomorrow Is TODAY … Make the MOST of it!
