Mt Etna….. March.2021

Man Im behind on posting….. It happens…

This one tho, when we finally made it to the Mountain….

Every day we visit her from our neighborhood- Us and the girls on the walk with the dog, waving from afar, saying ‘Hello’… From the clear days when she looks massive to the ones she hides behind the clouds to the shows she puts on, lava spits and dragon smoke, its like we’ve become friends… There is scientific proof that people have an endorphin effect from staring or being among the Mountains- this rings so true for Me.

Eddie Vedder said “Sure as I am breathing, sure as I am sad, Ill keep this wisdom in my flesh… I leave here believing more then I had, this love has got no ceiling.” I found this quote to resonate deep with me…

Falling for Sicily.....

Welp, Im finally finding myself falling in Love here. It has taken some time, some healing, some surrender- Maybe it was the light rolling across the super green hills or the sounds of cow bells, maybe just Him holding My hand while we drove into the countryside. After 13 years he still knows how to make my stomach swarm with butterflies…..

Markets in Catania....

Catania.

The very first place we visited post quarantine was the Piazza Carlo Alberto market, followed by the Pescheria (Fish Market) in Elephant Square on a early Saturday morning with new friends… The Markets were something I have dreamed of since we first found out Sicily would be our new Home. I imagined brick and cobbled old streets, lined with booths of fresh produce and spices and breads, freshly washed laundry hanging from tiny terraces above… Architecture and birds and the sounds of the incredible language shouting from vendor to vendor….

Mt Yufu--- Take two.

Our last trip to Yufuin was this past Summer… It was honestly a perfect day, the weather was misty and warm, the mountain almost empty, lush and green, and deer were everywhere! But I wasn’t well… So we weren’t able to do much climbing. Since then, this beautiful trail has been on my mind, I had been itching to go back and reach the summit, take in a new view….

Mt Tenzan- Japan

I cried on the way to and from Mt Tenzan last weekend…. Husband made fun of me as we cruised along listening to “Death Cab For Cutie” saying Im like Ben Fraiser in Bedazzled, ya know, when he is the sentimental version of himself, crying while looking at a sunset “Its just so beautiful!!” ok, I wasnt like that, at all… But lately I cant help but feel emotional every time we get out to these Mountains and Coastlines as a family… It may be the last time we see this. So Im embracing every moment fully..

My Crazy Medical Story of 2020- Must Read Ladies.

Wow. 2020 has been a BITCH.

Ive been wanting to write this post for a bit now, but, as always, LIFE took over and I just kept putting it off….. Its long yall, bear with me. But if you know me, then you know Iv been going through it this last year, so here is why.

I feel my story NEEDS to be shared, especially after conversations with my fellow LADIES, and there NEEDS to be a change in the way we take control of our Medical Care…. I wont go to into that to much, but this is a post that any of you women who have an IUD MUST READ!
