Welcome to my blog!

In this space, I share my experiences of faith and missionary life overseas. As an empty nester with family scattered across the globe, I also discuss the challenges of aging, loneliness, and yearning for loved ones.

At the heart of this blog, though, lies my passion for the ‘Dolce Vita.’ Which, to me, means aspiring to live a quiet, peaceful life, being satisfied with what one has, loving others, and seeking God in the everyday spaces of daily life.

Per me, questa è la vera dolce vita — che si trova solo nella gioia di camminare con Gesù. Anche tu puoi sperimentare questa gioia — perseguiamola insieme!
