A moment can change you forever. Talk to someone or walk away. Turn left or right? Pick up a paintbrush, attend a dance class, buy a book, get married, decide to move to another country. The death of a loved one.
This blog is about moments. Some are funny, some are sad, some are forgotten and then remembered. It’s about Italy, cats, menopause, aging, dying, dancing, seasons, and just some stuff of life that makes one wonder how we tick.
So, in a moment…
thanks for sharing your moments…
ciao lisa
Oh Lisa…you are really inspiring/encouraging me! Thank you for this wonderful gift.
Hi Nina, I found your site through Renovating Italy. I got teary over your posts about your Mum. My Mum is 87 and still with me. I cherish our time together. I too love Italy. I look forward to reading more of your posts. Ciao, Jan

Hello Jan,
Thank you for your comments! I looked at your site–very beautiful! I’ll stay in touch through our blogs! -Nina
I am so happy to find your blog!
I love travel and Italy!!
How lovely that your dreams have come true.
We have talked about the thought of moving to Italy, but just a pipe dream~
Next trip we will have to check out Umbria.
Definitely check out Umbria. It’s quiet, green, full of history and hidden gems. The hilltop towns are irresistible. -Nina
Those are three powerful words put together Nina. I have just read your blog post on Lisa’s website. It was lovely reading part of the story of your house renovation.
Thank you, Cathy. It was an amazing project. More stories in my book, and I’ll be posting more excerpts to whet appetites, I hope! -Nina
Dear Nina, Me too! I’ve just read your story at Renovating Italy. I loved it. I love Umbria too. It stole my heart and I belong there still. I just need to make it permanent as you’ve done. Thank you for letting Lisa share your beautiful story. Janine
Hi Janine, Thank you for your kind words and your lovely blog site!! I’m going to put it on my blog roll. Your photographs are wonderful. Thanks to Lisa, I’m ramping up again with stories and photos. I hope you can make it over permanently. It’s not easy (the whole story is in my book, The Field Stones of Umbria), but it’s so worth it. We’ll be in touch! -Nina
Wow Nina I’m so happy to see familiar faces here, so many people just love your story and I think it is definitely time to ramp up!! To see such a lovely couple who have achieved dreams and so much more gives such a gift to those still chasing theirs. You have so many wonderful stories to tell and I think you could put together a book just of your gorgeous cats. With love lisa x
PS have you seen the book The French Cat by Rachel Hale/ McKenna http://rachaelmckennaphotography.blogspot.com.au/2011/04/french-cat.html every time I see one of your images I think of this.
Hello, Found your story on Renovating Italy. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Daniela. I look forward to seeing your site once it has been renovated! Looks very interesting!
Hello Nina! I am indeed in Umbria. Having a wonderful time…. I would love to meet you. Please send me an email…It’s janine@janinevasta.com. I hope we can find a half way point!!! I couldn’t find an email address for you. Possibly due to my excitment!
