Kathy's Story

I had a fabulous trip back to Italy this year after 49 years away. It was like coming home. My daughter, Tasha, went with me. We spent 4 days in Rome and 8 days on the Amalfi coast. We stayed in Praiano at the Onde Verde which was wonderful and took a few adventures out of there. I was surprised how moved I was by being in Rome and how quickly the Italian words came back. I had studied the past year in a language class for traveling in Italy. Also, the magic in stepping into my dream to return and the sense of a new dimension of life just by being there. No phones, no computer, no work. Just wonderful, beautiful people and great environments, food and wine! And precious time with my wonderful daughter. I want to go back and live for a year and travel and paint. Maybe take people on an Italian retreat?. It was absolutely fabulous. If you haven't been back, please go it you can. You'll feel like a teen ager again. My current work for the last 16 + years is my own business, Coaching, for a La Dolce Vita life and a WOW business.

y daughter back to school with me and to Parioli where I had lived. Wow, the memories that came back. The school has lost some land, and there are a couple more buildings for the lower school now. It was fun to hang out a little bit there and see the kids of today. Our High School area was so small. It had felt larger until I saw it again. The center of Rome... I could walk everywhere, but did not remember where we used to go to the German Beer Gardens down near the Spanish Steps. It it still very much La Bella Figura! Class! Elegance! Beautiful people and si friendly! Have you been back? I would love to hear your thoughts and stories on Italy today if so. What good times have you enjoyed? I moved to Seattle after Rome and lived there through college and my first marriage. Then moved in '78 to San Diego and closer to family and my roots of LA. San Diego reminds me of Italy, beaches close to me and Mediterranean climate. Are you on Facebook?. If you are, let's be friends there too. Please DM me. We can connect on my Business page, if the personal page is too full. Send me your info and I will connect with you. :) Looking forward to sharing memories of the Rome/Italy times. Ciao! Kathy
