Where to start...

Logically one would start at the beginning, but I don't know if I am ready to delve into the past just yet. It has been a tough couple of years. Present time I am finally happy; a little confused, but happy. This blog will hopefully offer its readers a love story of epic proportions. More realistically, it will chronicle the life of an ordinary Canadian girl who finds herself in a struggle with society and her inner expectations. She had been fighting a losing battle for a long time. Her thirtieth year has been an awakening.

This blog will discuss love, career, friendship, fear, belonging -- or lack thereof, adventure, and most importantly, life. Mine is a life worth living. It has taken me a long time to realize this, but life is worth living. Life. Is. Worth. Living. After much heartache I find myself in the middle of a wonderful adventure. It is an adventure of love; an adventure of finding oneself; and an adventure of not succumbing to the pressures of marriage and children in attempts to fit in.  

For all those who are wondering, yes, there will be "amore in italia". Yes there is a guy who awaits me there; a guy who surprises me and excites me and warms me all in one. A guy who I would never have met if I didn't open my mind and heart to the possibilities of life.  A guy who might change my life forever.
