A journal in the making
Ordinary days, written down
One ordinary woman, three draughty old Italian houses, and the moments in life worth keeping. Written slowly, mostly in my little corner writing nook.
What to expect from my blog
Hundreds of bilingual posts, in English and Italian, most of them short. Written not to impress, but to help you realize that, even during your ordinary days, God gifts you with many special moments truly worth noting down and remembering.
Write it down while it’s still fresh. You won’t remember that morning, only that it happened.
