“….Watching our guests settle into themselves throughout the week reminded me of something I have witnessed countless times through trauma recovery work. People often arrive carrying the pace of their lives with them. The responsibilities. The urgency. The endless mental checklists. The constant doing. Somewhere around day three or four, something begins to shift. Shoulders drop. Laughter comes easier. People start sleeping better. Conversations deepen. Presence returns.

It isn’t that they learned something new. It’s that they remembered something they had forgotten…..” read more

What is the key to abundance? Safety. You cannot think thoughts that reprogram a nervous system out of scarcity and fear.

After spending the day in Cinque Terre, our driver guides took us to a stunning coastal town, Forte Dei Marmi. A little Beverly Hills on the Italian Coast. Think high end shops, private beach clubs, swanky places, and everyone dressed their best for a casual dinner out. We definitely looked like tourists and enjoyed the mountain backdrops flowing into the sea, the beautiful weather, delicious food, and of course, gelato (some of the best we had all trip, and we had a lot 😂). The sunset was gorgeous in its golden radiance.

Never have I known a Father so dedicated to his children - from the changing of dirty diapers and staying up all night in the early years to the walking side by side in these young adulthood moments - is the embodiment of a Dad who loves fully and unconditionally. Watching him as a parent has taught me so much through the years. Our kids are beyond blessed by him, and we celebrate him always. Happy Father’s Day!

There is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss my Dad. Father’s Day is strange now. I feel his presence with me always, and see and hear him often, as my gifts allow. That said, what I wouldn’t give to sit with him over a cup of coffee and listen to him tell stories once again. This video was taken less than a week after his cancer diagnosis and a few days before chemo started. I was at the hospital with him, my Mom, and a friend who happened to be in town from Montana visiting. He was talking about his brother and his passion for quantum physics, astrocartography, and more. I know how blessed I was to have him as my Dad, and I also know this apple didn’t fall far from that tree.

I definitely have a favorite location type when I travel and where I want to live : rugged cliffs, seaside, trees. A waterfall added in for extra wow.. Cinque Terre was my favorite of all cities seen while in Italy. I will for sure be going back here and staying for much longer. Quaint, charming, stunning beauty, waters the color of what I believe heaven to be. Swimming in the Ligurian Sea was incredible!! I could have stayed in all day. Call me a mermaid if you will, I feel at home in and by the water. These gorgeous landscapes are breathtaking and the little towns were storybook perfect. A day that we added in later to the travel plans and for sure a favorite for many. Funny how the unexpected days become the most memorable.

I’ll be visiting here in my heart often.

From Rome to Verona to Tuscany (Impruenta) to Siena to San Gimignano to Florence to Cinque Terre and ending in Florence, this experience of two weeks in Italy was definitely the sweetness of life. All the work of many hours over 15 months of planning, coordinating, marketing, preparing - more hours than we counted - and facilitating for 10 days, led to a dream come true for many. The joy it brings me to see people happy and thriving as they say YES! to their life is abundant.

Here’s a little sample with more to follow. Italy surprised me in many beautiful ways. I embraced my Italian heritage and recognized how Italian I am. Made me laugh and smile often to understand more of where I came from. Different than Scotland, and special in its own ways. I’ll write on my substack soon about it all.

For now, I will reiterate this:

You create your experience of life. What are you creating? If you don’t like it, change it. We can’t always control the hard things that happen. We always have a choice in how we navigate them. Stop waiting for somedays. Life is happening now. Live it well and fully alive.

More photos and awarenesses to come soon.

Well… if the shoe fits 😂⚡️

As we were chatting with our incredible chef Kate told him she’s part Sicilian and Italian, Scottish, Irish, and English. He didn’t miss a beat: ‘So you’re an explosive melting pot!’ We all lost it. Laughing until our sides hurt and tears rolled down our faces. Four countries of stubbornness in one woman, and we absolutely love her for all of it. - 🌈
