One day a few weeks ago I was yearning for my beloved Firenze so bad. As a temporary “pick me up” I wrote on my calendar - December 27th go to Firenze.
I walked around for a few days with the pretend trip giving me that wink wink moment and it put a skip in my step. I loved the skip so much that fantasy quickly turned into intention, and I started taking some action steps. Just for the heck of it, I began glancing at apartments, thinking about the various neighborhoods, and which one I’d like to live in this time around. It was so much fun that I thought, why not take a quick look at some schools...maybe instead of taking the next semester of Italian class here in NY, I’ll go study in Firenze. Hmmm and let me just peak at airline tickets.
I knew exactly what I was doing. I know how powerful the Universe is. I’ve seen this before in my life and know for a fact that when you start putting action behind your intention, magic always happens.
And it did! Yes, I am headed back to Firenze and I cannot stop skipping or smiling! Soon I will be walking along the Arno and sitting on my bridge - Ponte Patrizia - actually it’s called Ponte Santa Trinita, but those in the know....well....know. I look forward to reuniting with dear friends, and making new ones, and finally meeting my social media friends face to face. I look forward to studying and speaking Italian, to eating the delicious (non GMO) food & drinking Prosecco. I look forward to seeing Christmas decorations in Firenze - a first!
But most of all I look forward to the rhythm, il ritmo, of the city that I love so much. I love it as if it were a person. And I look forward to sharing my experiences with all of you, through my photos and this blog.
I leave you with this - listen to that little voice in your head. It’s your true self guiding you. Then set the intention and take action. Magic will happen - I promise you.
