Dairy, Italy and A Day in Milan

I am sitting here with "SO Delicious" Coconut Creamer in my coffee, and my egg burrito laced with "Almond Cheese." Yes, almond cheese. I dream of dairy. I do. I am giving "no dairy" a temporary shot for six weeks to see how I feel.

A year and a half ago I was in Italy over-dosing on dairy and white flour and loving every minute of it. I felt fantastic, but alas, I was in Italy. That seems to cure all ills for me, except for the fact that my legs looked great from hiking around the hill towns but my belly (hidden strategically behind draped fabric) was that of a beer drinking couch potato. As I wrote to my friend Caroline on a postcard while drinking cappuccino and eating a pizza, I had become "Buddha on chopsticks."

I have uploaded another musical photo slideshow to YouTube. This time of Milan. I had one day on my own in this amazing city. The whole reason I decided to stay over night was because I wanted to see The Last Supper (Which, by the way, was aMAZing if you've never seen it! Completely lives up to the fame and hype. I cried. Seriously.) but the whole day ... it was simply magical.

My Day in Milan September 2008 (only 2 1/2 minutes!)











How do I say "Thanks for visiting!" in Italian?

Assisi

This video is a slide show I made on iMovie. I finally uploaded it to YouTube!
It's set (mostly) to the music from Cinema Paradiso by Ennio Morricone ... my all
time favorite movie!

I am planning a trip to Assisi in the spring and I am beyond words! SO excited!
I love it there. Are there places where you've gone for the very first time and felt
completely at home? Assisi is one of those places for me. I felt completely
connected.

"Open your heart to receive comfort.
Learn to give it, too.
Comfort touches and heals our souls.
Take it with you like a favorite blanket wherever you go."
~ Melody Beattie
from Journey to the Heart


Where do you feel connected?
Where do you find comfort?
