Hello Montepulciano, Tuscany

 


From the hustle and bustle of Roma, we enter into Montepulciano, Tuscany. It slows way down here. It is incredibly peaceful and sacred.

The video is from our balcony at our Airbnb. Do you believe it? It is truly surreal. Every place you look is a postcard. 

We arrive a bit earlier than expected and the drive was easy to get here, approximately 2 hours. The vibe is WAY different than what we have experienced so far. I like it. Our Airbnb host meets us at the church of San Biagio. Wow. 








I mean...wow. It is so quiet as I walked around the church, taking in the hot Tuscan sun. I take a moment to look over the landscape and my breath is taken away. Am I really here? I have dreamt of this moment for so long. We are finally here. 

We walk up to our Airbnb, which is about 20 meters away. Our host is incredibly hospitable. We get settled in and pop open a bottle of Tuscan Champagne. Perfecto!


I love this place. I am mesmerized by its beauty and majesty. I want to savor every second and take in every moment.

Tuscany, it is really good to meet you. 

Alla prossima (until next time),

Ciao bella,
Claudine

Trading Snow for SUNSHINE! Our journey to Florida...

Image
We made it - to the beautiful SUNSHINE STATE ! Apparently, we made it out just in time as the winter weather showed up right after we left! Truthfully, I don't miss that AT ALL! It has been almost a month since we have arrived, and it has been wonderful.  Let's briefly chat about our journey to Florida, shall we?  Getting here was...well...challenging.  It all really began on Thursday—the day before our closing—when we loaded up the truck. It didn’t help that it rained most of the day, but somehow, we got it done. It took all day, every bit of energy we had, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of our neighbor, our daughter, and her friend. Truly—thank you. That evening, sitting in an almost empty house felt surreal. This was the home we had lived in for more than five years, now stripped down to bare rooms and echoes. We had built so many good memories here, and as I sat there reflecting, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude—for the time we spent, the life ...

What would you do if you did not have to work for money....

I recently came across this question in a book that I was reading, and quite honestly, that question stumped me at the time. I don't know about you, but I am nearly reaching my "mid-50s" and still trying to figure out what to do with my life (career wise). 😉 Since moving to Florida...ok, let me just get this out of the way...it is all that I wanted it to be and more. Our home, gosh, our home is our sanctuary. When I get off work, I am LEGIT weaving in and out of traffic trying to get home as quickly as possible...like I am going to be late for a date with my home or something. Truly, I am beyond grateful for it, and I am so glad to be here. Chasing sunsets and sunrises are some of my favorite things to do. 🌞 Oh yeah, where was I going with that? Since moving to Florida, I have been going through some changes. What changes, you might ask? Well, internal - specifically, spiritual changes. My goal this year is to get connected spiritually. I mean really connected. To sto...

When it's time for a change...new adventures are knocking at our door, and we are busting that door wide open!

Image
                                                           Knock, knock. Who’s there? Opportunity. Opportunity who? You’ll never know unless you open the door. …and that’s where the adventure begins.  Isn't that the truth?  I have always tried to be a positive, look on the bright side kind of girl. However, there has been a restlessness in me that has awakened months ago...I am going to go ahead and blame it on Italy...yea, that is a good idea. 😉 So, here is the deal. I am a Sagittarius. I am also an Enthusiast (Enneagram). This is who I am. I adapt to change. I encourage it at times. I love adventures. I love my life, and I want to live it to the fullest. Don't you?  You get this one chance at this beautiful thing called life...and I don't know about you, but I don't want to blow it.  Have you...
