I was asked to write an article for a magazine: Cocktails Fiction and Gossip magazine.

Love is What Remains

I dedicate this post to my sister-in-law, Mary Lou, who has urged me to publish it for two years now in hopes of buoying the spirits of thousands of hard working Americans that have suffered as a result of our failing economy. Now that my family has moved successfully through this unexpected and painful chapter, I am emotionally able to give this essay some well earned wings. Please feel free…

A Special Book.....

Just in time for the holidays I would like to share a book with you that is near and dear to my heart. It’s called Oil and Water and Other Things That Don’t Mix. This is an anthology of stories, poems, and recollections from 27 authors. The pieces all focus on the theme: “Conflict…Resolution Optional.” This book will make you laugh, cry, think, and may even make you angry. The volume includes work from award-winning authors and… Continue

A Little Bit of Lovely

A friend of mine, The Scottsdale Fashionista, does a post each day called “Today’s Little Bit of Lovely”. Because I love it, I am going to do her the great homage of stealing the title (just for one day…don’t worry, Karen!) because it captures the essence of risseu, the centuries old art of stone mosaic found throughout Liguria.

I stumbled upon risseu, quite literally,… Continue

Thankful Thursdays

I had no idea, as I was slogging my way through a variety of drafts, that writing a book was the easy part. Marketing the book is a different animal altogether, and I was unprepared as I did not come from a business background. Ask me about how to run a classroom and cajole seventy eighth graders into writing and public speaking and I can talk your ear off for days. Marketing a book? Well, I know now.

This Thankful Thursday goes out… Continue

Why Book Signings are Sacred

For the rest of my life the phrase “Saturday from 1-3″ will hold a tender significance. Some authors loathe bookstore signings. They warned me that they can be lonely places that do nothing but reinforce your deep fear that nobody really cares about your book.

“Bookstore events are a thing of the past,” they’d say. “The sale of a few books is not worth your time and travel expenses. Use the internet. It’s cheaper and reaches a larger audience.”

Perhaps there is truth to… Continue

The Camera's Are Gone...Now What?

From:

Oil and Water and Other Things That Don't Mix...

http://oilwaterdontmix.blogspot.com/

What happens after the cameras are gone? Sadly even though the oil spill story has died down, and lets face it, pretty much gone away, the disaster is still very much a reality for those that are left behind. Lives are torn apart, people continue to suffer, businesses die, and families are… Continue

Colori

I have come to understand the importance of color to the soul. I had always decorated our houses in tasteful neutrals and creams with accent colors to liven things up. The calm beauty of it, the reflection of magazine pages on how to achieve elegance in the home, felt safe. Deciding to put sailor blue tile in the kids’ bathroom was a walk on the wild side, but I was careful to balance it with white.

Over time, the lack of color… Continue

Art Shots - Part One

I am not a photographer. I know nothing of that particular art. However, I could barely take three steps in a row in Liguria without being overcome with the sheer loveliness of it all.

This is just your basic storefront. (I know. Not as eye-catching as the local Safeway or Albertson’s around here, though I do give Fry’s some credit for clustering baskets of mums together next to the employee break bench near the front door.) We passed… Continue

The Great Italian Laundry Mystery

Scenes such as this captured my heart. Laundry raised to an artform.

Early on, however, we noticed something mysterious.

In this lovely land of tomato sauce and pesto, we never spied one stain. Not a smudge! So, because we are a family that loves to play games, it became a contest. Who would be the first to… Continue

The American International School of Genoa

When Tim and I were tossing around the absurd idea of moving to another country, I remember saying to him, “If there is an American International School in the area, I will consider it.” As luck, or Divine Providence, would have it there was one a few towns away. After an afternoon of searching (which involved a pool boy, a sweaty-palmed train ride, a panic-filled trek through downtown Genoa, a bevy of helpful bank employees with an English… Continue

A Secret Passageway to Somewhere Good

A few yards to the right of the front door of our apartment building we found this secret stairway descending into town. Sure, I could have walked along the winding, narrow paved roads that snaked down the hillside, but the stairs held a mystery. Like the soothing, protective notes from Orpheus’ lyre, the orange trumpet flowers called to me.

At middle age, I needed this secret passageway to somewhere good. I needed to walk to… Continue
