I don’t think there is anything better than olive oil and bread, it makes me starving even after breakfast.

I’m so glad u find the peace in ur heart and that Sicily changed ur way of living.

It’s always hard understand how someone feels from outside, the fact u are sharing this it’s extremely important.

A lot of people will find ur words refreshing and helpful.

Thank you so much. One of the reasons why I started this newsletter was to be able to delve a bit deeper into some of the topics that I speak about on social media like my own mental health. On the surface it could look like I am leading the "perfect" life but in truth I have to be disciplined and have daily practices that help me to happy. I don't always get it right and there are days when dark clouds appear. At the age of 60 though it finally feels like I am more conscious and aware of what is happening in my life before the dark clouds start to appear on the horizon. I am looking forward to sharing more of my journey and also helping others find their own version of "A Slow Life in Sicily". Thank you again for your comment, means a lot to me.

With this I’m exactly like this now 🥹u moved me a lot. Honestly D. I don’t know what I’ve done of good in another life to have the occasion to meet u and I can call u friend that it’s priceless. The first time I saw u I thought u are one of the most kind person in the world and at the same time u are one of the few people who saw the light even in the dark.

With the time I understood that u went though so many things, and that makes me thought that “seeing” the hell gave to u a different prospect and improved ur empathy.

This also made me thought we had different experiences but at the same time we are similar.

I had anxiety and panic attacks last yr (side effects of cortisol) this helped me to understand what people with this problem feels, I have some coworkers with the same problem and now I try to gave them some advice based on what I used to relax myself. And in the last period I finally feel like myself again.

Social are full of power in particular if good people use for good things.

And D. If one day u will see dark clouds write to me, I will always find the time for u.

Wishing u a fantastic day!

A big hug 🤗
