Interesting, but there is no way I could take the time off work (have to save all my vacation days for when school is out AND for my sister’s wedding next year).

What a charming blog! I share your passion for Italy–and also for Italian. After twentysome years of studying it, I’ve written a book “La Bella Lingua: My Love Affair with Italian, the World’s Most Enchanting Language” (coming out in May) and created a website and blog. Please come visit. Maybe we can find some ways to work together to make the world a little more Italian.
Grazie,
Dianne Hales

I firmly believe in what you say, Lenora! It’s all about putting what you want out there in the universe and surrounding it with the positive energy needed to manifest it into what you want. I am living proof. Can you tell I may have had a run in or two or ten with a life coach?! And you are very welcome indeed :)

Grace, I see your Mom has had such a positive influence on you. As my Mother would remind me….*The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree*

Robin, thanks for the post about my Italy Retreat. The part about breaking free to more possibilities is that whenever we have a desire, and then, immediately think or say, “BUT…I can’t afford it, I’m too old etc., we can pretty much figure there’s a limiting belief operating. Of course, I know the money thing could very well be a fact. But I encourage everyone (myself included) to stop for a few moments everyday to focusing on what we want, and make a practice of writing a Blue Sky List — “Just a list of desires if you could have anything out of the clear blue sky, what would you welcome in your life?” You don’t have to think “HOW” you could manifest it. That’s one way, we can all get in the habit of creating more of what we want, seeing more options or possibilities, than just tossing them aside without stepping outside our comfort zone. So, my daughter, Grace, is wise and one of my teachers! Thanks again.

Robin, so glad you were able to connect with my mother and preview her retreat here. Coming from her daughter (who is equally as passionate about Italy) she has been wanting to do something like this for years. I finally told her, let go of those inhibitions about money and planning and just do it. I’m so proud of her for getting it together and offering her services of letting women break free of limiting beliefs. I hope other women find her passion equal to their’s and are able to join in. Grazie!

Hi Robin…If I could afford it, I would sign up for this like a shot…Something I really need to help in certain areas of my life….It is in my favourite part of the world, and just around the coastline from where my husband and I spent 10 days last year for our hols!!
