La Dolce Vita ' "The Sweet Life" Day 10


Strolling around in the evening, we found two great bands.  Each taking turns playing classical and classic music.  They each had a beautiful canopy over them and plenty of seating in front.  Enjoying a gelato under the stars listening to beautiful music - that was a real treat.



Earlier in the day, we walked down the Bridge of Sighs.  And we did indeed, sigh.

 We walked past some amazing store windows.  (Notice the gown and headdress in the photo.)

 Of course, we took a gondola ride.  I did mention in passing to my family that I wondered if any gondola's ever tipped.  I never got my question answered and luckily I never found out.
Ciao ......  till the next post!

You know what? The moment I embraced who I was becoming, is the moment that everythi

Can you see your future?

I was coaching my client, Carolyn today.   She was stuck in a mindset of only seeing her present circumstances or even worse - the past.  She wasn't seeing her future .  Turns out, she never thought about it.   I asked her - W hat it would mean for your life once the paper piles are gone?  What it would mean for your life once the necessary repairs were made to the kitchen and bathroom?  What it would mean for your life once the dread, shame and weight off your shoulders was lifted?  She kept going back to how her home looked right now and the struggles she was faced.  She wasn't seeing her future.  But I was.  Carolyn is so close to having her home decluttered.  But she was still living in the past. I told her that I had a challenge for her.  I asked Carolyn if she would close her eyes and visualize what her home will look like when it is decluttered, when she can find what she needs and when the overwhelming tension has been lifted from her shoulders.  I heard a deep
