Loving and loathing a tree
I have a strong emotional relationship with our cherry tree. My husband gave it to me six years ago at San Valentino and brought it home inside our little Fiat Panda, not a particularly big car. I'm sure you can imagine that at the time Cili was a tiny, shy plant with short, stringy arms. We used to decorate it with Easter eggs with my boys, and for a few years we managed to reach even the higher branches with the help of a chair. In the past few years Cili has grown into a m


Is your jar full?
What am I grateful for today? What are all the numerous reasons for which I should not complain, moan, depreme myself or indulge in self-pity, but rather rejoice, praise and smile courageously? If you stop for a moment and think, I am sure you will also find several reasons for being grateful.

How could you not love...
...the month of November? Full of that crisp, clean air and the sparkling autumn colors? Evening spent near the fireplace, sipping a warm cup of tea, watching the shadows dance in the ceiling? The fresh, delicious tastes of olives, oil, apples, pumpkins and pomgranates? There is so much to embrace and be grateful for during this season of harvest.
