The 5 best books I read in 2018, why I loved them and what they can teach you.
I had 39 fully written but unpublished blog posts. So I wrote another one!
So many things that came pouring out of my fingers to never see the light of day. To forever leave my mind, for I have no recollection of ever writing most of them, not to enter anyone else’s mind. I write as a way of expressing myself, of simply… letting my mind wander and rediscover …
When Time became our God, and anxiety our companion.
Time has become our God, it rules our lives and we wonder, how do people manage so much with so little Time?
How to find meaning and happiness in our lives.

My nonna and her stories.
My family, just like any other family out there, has some interesting history and things worth talking about and stories worth telling.
