Today is my very first blog. I have had this site now for 2 years and waited until the timing was right to feel pride in the journey. I have found my super powers through the exhausting process with books, blogs, podcasts, etc. I am back on a train in Italy…finding the treasures afforded me through travel, culture, and the joy and respect of fellow travelers, and the kindness of the Italian people….whose eyes smile when they say ´bon giornó or ´grazié´. In a time when we sometimes forget how that gesture can change a person’s day or outlook.

What is the wisdom that I would like to impart today…on my very first blog ever you might ask? Today I am asking you to choose you 100%. Push that 200 lb bolder aside and sit down next to it. Remember why you were chosen to be a woman and what that affords you: strength, will, the ability to rise above and keep on keeping on. Two weeks before I arrived in Italy and all I could think about was…how do I lose weight knowing that I didńt want to risk gaining even more with the amazing food in Italy. Walking anywhere between 15 to 20,000 steps a day and I am doing just fine. As I look out the window of the train, I am reminded that we deserve. Now where do I find the emojís ? Have a beautiful day.
