My dear readers, friends, fans and followers!

Recently, it’s been a challenge for me to keep up with my blog, writing, traveling, and my other creative adventures that I love so much, due to some health issues. I believe that when our body asks us to stop and rest, it’s exactly what we’re meant to do, and I’m going to listen.

I’ll be back soon with some fresh ideas and fun stuff!

In the meantime, I invite you to listen to my Chique Travel Show and meet fabulous travelers and adventures who write about the beauty of our magical world.

And if you haven’t read my charming Chique books about Italy yet, make sure to do so. They will take you to Italy in the blink of an eye, and I promise you will love them!

 
Talk to you soon! And as always, when life gives you twists and turns, Chique Yourself Up in Italy!

“You want more because you are more. There’s more in this lifetime for you to become.

Anyone who feels made to do one particular thing in this world but is unable to do it becomes, in a sense, an unreconciled key.

I urge you to stay true to your integrity. I urge you to listen to what only you know inside. You dream big because you’re called. It doesn’t matter if you feel like a frightened beginner, a star-spangled fool, or a beaten, wilted cabbage in the sun. It’s not about knowing how to make it happen or being “worthy”. You didn’t choose this dream. It chose you. Say yes to your only reality and unimaginable adventure. Say yes to the ride. You belong in the life of your dreams. And you don’t belong anywhere else.

You discover who you really are by following what you really want.

You have to believe you’re called. You have to choose to see yourself as called to be the most alive self you can be – a self that knows you are meant to succeed in what you’re meant to do. You will return to this knowing again and again. It’s a practice and a launchpad.

Reblogged from The Displaced Nation:

Greetings, Displaced Nation-ers! Ready for a little more intellectual stimulation?

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Great Thinkers who can help with task of embracing the well-traveled life and teasing out its deeper meaning, in the new year.

And today I will address the needs of those who have resolved to tackle a major writing project in 2013.
