I Used to Hate on Florence, Italy.
Posted on September 20, 2017September 20, 2017

I Used to Hate on Florence, Italy.

I went to Florence for the first time during my second vacation in Italy.  I stayed for a couple of days. My second trip was a few years later during the first month I lived in Italy.  I couldn’t wait to leave both times.  The second trip was over nine years ago and I believed … Continue reading I Used to Hate on Florence, Italy.

Life in Rome – Ercoli 1928 Parioli

Life in Rome – Ercoli 1928 Parioli

I have lived in Parioli for a year now and love it.  When I told people I was moving from the Historic Center to Parioli, everyone had an opinion (mostly negative). “It’s so boring,” was one of the main criticisms I heard regarding Parioli.  Granted, it’s not as exciting as living around the corner from … Continue reading Life in Rome – Ercoli 1928 Parioli

A Belated Birthday Trip to Sicily

Ciao Bloggisti, I’m suffering from a bit of Sicily withdrawal.  Please bear with me. Thanks to a birthday present from my parents (thank Mom and Dad!), I returned to Sicily for a long weekend. There was an airline strike and my flight departed over two hours late. The weather was horrible. I rented a car … Continue reading A Belated Birthday Trip to Sicily

Life in Rome – Aperitivi at the Beach

Ciao Bloggisti, How’s the summer treating you so far? As I wrote in my previous post, I’m trying to improve my attitude and to be more social.  My friend Courtney and I had plans to meet for aperitivi on Saturday.  Instead of dealing with crowds in the Historic Center on a hot Saturday evening, I … Continue reading Life in Rome – Aperitivi at the Beach

Life in Rome – Where to go for Cocktails

Quite a bit of ink has been spilled recenty regarding how the cocktail scene … Continue reading Life in Rome – Where to go for Cocktails

My Ten Year Anniversary.
Posted on November 11, 2015May 19, 2016

My Ten Year Anniversary.

I’m not sure why I started blogging ten years ago today. The blogging world has changed a great deal since my first post POST.    Back then nobody was making money from blogging.  It was way to communicate, connect, and create. I rarely read old posts.  Some make me cringe (and not just because of all … Continue reading My Ten Year Anniversary.

Self-Promotion – How do it Without Alienating Everyone?

Self-Promotion – How do it Without Alienating Everyone?

Yes, the title is a question not a statement.  This is a road my entrepreneur/freelancing friends and I are trying to navigate. I was thinking about this while walking home after meeting up with some girlfriends. They are a dynamic group of women. However, one thing I have noticed time and time again (especially when … Continue reading Self-Promotion – How do it Without Alienating Everyone?
