“The money it cost me, the time it cost my family and business without my presence—that is all behind me—but the change in my soul and in my mind will forever be priceless. The art, culture, traditions, and mortar of Italy itself will live in me for a lifetime. I could eat the food! I could feel the world and feel present in it! There is so much history and so much culture! And so much time for me to reflect on all of the reasons I was even there at all.”
— Peggy A.

It feels now like a reason to keep living! To keep fighting for myself. Fighting for a longer life with my family. Living To live! So that one day I have a history of my own. One as beautiful and as bright as the poppy fields of the Tuscan countryside. So, if you are reading this, show up for yourself. Say yes to your life. You only have one. Stop making excuses and JUST GO!!
