“It is our inward journey that leads us through

“It is our inward journey that leads us through time – forward or back, seldom in a straight line, most often spiraling. Each of us is moving, changing, with respect to others. As we discover, we remember; remembering, we discover; and most intensely do we experience this when our separate journeys converge.” - Eudora Welty

Today on what would have been Eudora Welty’s 112th birthday, I wanted to share some of her words since her words have accompanied me on so many steps of my life. Much more than a muse, her writing and photographs have been there at both key moments in my life and also so many of those quieter everyday days in between. If you’re not familiar, Welty was one of America’s great writers. If you love a good short story, she was a master. The words above are from her memoir “One Writer’s Beginnings” - one of my all time favorite books. Remembering, we discover.

These spring days have been so beautiful and calm

These spring days have been so beautiful and calm in Amalfi. Yesterday walking along the port the water was so clear that we spotted all kinds of fish from teeny tiny ones to big ones with white spots on their tales and one that was long and skinny and about two feet long and silvery in the sunlight. I don’t know the names of the different types of fish here , but it was so relaxing to watch them for a little while. 💦

Buona Pasqua! Happy Easter! I hope there are sweet

Buona Pasqua! Happy Easter! I hope there are sweet moments in your day. Today we’ll enjoy a touch of sweetness thanks to the delicious chocolate egg from Gay Odin in Naples. And ... even ... better (yes better than chocolate for me!) ... inside there’s a Campania Artecard 365 Lite. This card gives free entry to many many cultural sites and museums throughout the region and is valid for a year. Do check out all the museum and tourist passes (3 and 7 day available) offered by @campaniartecard for your next trip. This isn’t an ad or sponsored. I just love this collaboration celebrating the historic chocolate maker @gay_odin and the rich history and culture of Campania with @scabecspa and @campaniartecard!

PS: The chocolate egg is delicious! We might have cracked it open a day early ...

Easter is usually the kick off to the busy season

Easter is usually the kick off to the busy season on the Amalfi Coast. The piazza would be full and usually the first major traffic jams of the year would be taking place. Last year Easter was surreal in complete lockdown. This year is just bizarre. We’re still pretty well locked down, but we can go out for walks and exercise now. After a year it’s the same but so different. I wonder what next Easter will be like. Thank goodness last year we didn’t know that this year would be so much the same!

Here’s my olive branch from Palm Sunday last week. I’m hoping that next year we’ll be together again with my husband’s family for Easter celebrations. Buona Pasqua! 🌿

Hello weekend! I think the colors of Amalfi yesterday might just have been perfect. It fully felt like spring has arrived! 💙

Today for the first day of spring we woke up to rain here in Amalfi but a dusting of snow up in the mountains of the Amalfi Coast. Did you listen to episode 1 of the @rediscoveritalypodcast? I shared about the change of seasons and how much I love it here all year long. I didn’t get any photos of the snow today, but here’s one from earlier this week on a day when everything seemed just that little bit brighter than usual. That’s my hope for all of us for this spring season to come. May it be a little bit brighter than we all expect!
