Delighted to share my book about how immersing myself in Florence has gifted me with more than beauty to capture with my iPhone, but also beauty to hold in my heart.

Clouds sashayed north as the cool winds circled around me. The ripples on the water whispered a soft melody. The sun permeated the southern clouds with a touch of color. A lingering kiss before it disappeared behind the buildings along the Arno.

Loss—of a person, a relationship, a job, or a chapter in our lives—encourages us to live with a greater sense of reverence. While basking in Florence’s energy, I learned to honor my wounds and stretch my heart open even more.

As summer transitioned into autumn, I walked through Giardino Bardini, strolled along the Arno, and spotted the Duomo down a darkened street. #Florence #Firenze
