How lovely to have two places you love. Two places that are “home”. And the ability to spend time in both. Italy is the place I’ve vacationed more than anywhere, so I totally get it! I’d love to live there, too.

But if I’m honest, I know I’m exactly where I want to be ❤️

Alice, as I read your thoughts, so many of my own experiences come to mind. Why do we feel we must choose when we really do not need to. Life’s remembrances shape and form us into who we are.

As I read, I remembered you mentioning the unfolding. Your thoughts on Pilaz sound freeing; letting you become you, if that makes sense.

Your spirit runs so deeply. I am reminded of something my son once told me. How he feels so many things that happen around him.

Perhaps you are a sensitive soul as he is. Taking it all in, yet the deep intake of emotions that accompany these experiences can be overwhelming at times. I think that’s how my son feels. I try very hard to understand how he feels.

While I love seeing all of the travel and food photos you share, some of my favorites are those mountain photos of beautiful Pilaz. 🩵

Loved your writing on “what makes me who I am” ❤️ I love your moments of reflection & clarity. You are defiantly an empath 💖

I want to read that book. I know I try to recreate moments. It’s important that I always try to remember that was my experience then , my memory. And to look at it as a new experience to behold. Most importantly to be in those moments. Acknowledge what I am feeling and stay present in that new moment 🥰
