Happiness in Italy

During this holiday season, the joys of spending time with family and friends, come to the forefront. And in the midst of a world sometimes seemingly gone off the deep end, it is time to remember to find joy, laugh a little, love a lot.

One of the reasons I created the Italy Retreat for Women experience was for that very purpose. Experience another culture, break out of our comfort zone, laugh a lot and manifest our heart’s desire. The Mediterranean sunshine and the turquoise waters added to the delicious cuisine, culture and beauty create an atmosphere of happiness.

Enjoy this video of Cindy, feeling the bliss and Happiness in Italy, during my 4th Annual Italy Retreat for Women to live la dolce vita. Notice the passion of life going on in the background.

Italian Desserts!

The sampling of desserts is from Miky Restaurant in Monterosso, one of the Cinque Terre towns.
I wish for all of you a holiday filled with lots of moments of happiness and humor as it heals any loneliness and hurt in your life.

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Buon Natale!

I agree wholeheartedly with Cindy about this trip to Italy with Lenora! I was able to travel with them in Sept. 2012, and it was as marvelous as Cindy describes here on the video. The colors, culture, cuisine and beautiful environment of Italy were fabulous. Every day was a unique and wonderful experience. Lenora’s expertise and guidance on learning to taste a little “La Dolce Vita” every day was inspiring and certainly helped create a great traveling experience with 10 women. Thanks again Lenora!

Mary Ellen, it was wonderful sharing Italy with you. Loved our group and all that we learned together. You were truly an asset to the Italy adventure.

All these months later, I still feel the same way. The sight of that turquoise water! It makes me giddy with happiness all over again! That’s la dolce vita, when just being is so delightful. Or being together, as the couple behind me was experiencing….is that hilarious and perfect or what? I LOVE ITALY!!!!

Right, Cindy, we could not have planned the background scene any better than the reality of love and the sweet life, (la dolce vita) in Italy.
Your happiness and appreciation of Italy is contagious! So great having you in Italy on this Retreat. You’re a bella donna, beautiful woman.

….and yet, the memory of watching cindy and jerri float around the Italian ocean waters, hearing their laughter and carefree words and the happy smiles on their faces makes me giddy!

This year I’m swimming at Portovenere like Cindy and Jerrie. I just wanted to keep my hair in good shape for our photo shoot!
