| :: February 2019 :: |
We had a lovely weekend in Serole, enjoying all the snow - some snow shoeing, snow angel makin' and some head standin'. I have been practicing my head stands and really love them. That feeling when you raise your legs up and find your balance - it feels fabulous. I am still practicing - sometimes I still need a wall and sometimes I fall over or backwards (below). But I am getting better. We enjoyed good food and wine and cozy fires. 1-3 February 2019 Serole, Italia |
| One of my two Barcelona trips this month. Full, full days - half day teaching Growth Mindset 2.0 in the morning and afternoon of Belong at HP (neuroscience of inclusion and bias) Also, connecting with dear colleagues - this is Cami, she just relocated from Bucharest to Barcelona - I am so proud of her and honored that I can be part of her amazing journey. Spontaneous let's have wine on the beach and chat and catch up. And I met a dog. He was walking with his owner and then just came and parked it by me like he knew me. I love him. 4-8 February 2019 Barcelona, Spain |
| Another perfect weekend in Serole. My FAVORITE place. We went to Alba and had cheese and wine. Practiced yoga, had a bonfire and Joe did some shootin'. We also met with a contractor about digging up the ground floor and redoing the foundation. Mamma mia. We have known that we needed to do this - but what a pain because the floor is basically built on a think bit of cement and dirt without any type of real foundation. It will be a big job and we will probably not start it until next Fall. Only because said contractor is too busy at the moment and he needs to find an army of people to do the hand digging because there is not enough space to get a industrial digger in the house. Off to Barcelona next week. Zaven passed his written/ theoretical driving test! Yahoo! Next is passing the actual driving test - he has 6 months to do so. The written driving test is difficult for mother tongue Italian speakers so we are so proud of how hard he worked to pass! 15-17 February 2019 Serole, Italia |
| It's been gorgeous and sunny. A walk in the fields with Baci Zeccone, Italy 13 February 2019 |
| Sheesh February is almost over. Zaven had 5 exams this last week - uff - but he did fabulous 30/30 - and two 29/30 yay Zaven! Joe had a week at home working on his doctorate - I admire his tenacity, grit and scholastic aptitude - the last bit I don't embody and am in awe of. I got home Thursday morning from Barcelona and we headed to Serole. It is weirdly warm for February (global warming duh)- ~ 20 degrees, so we decided to go snow shoeing at Prato Nevoso - skiing would be slushy and icy and dangerous. Lot's of beautiful views and vitamin D. I visited my dad's tree- it is healthy and ready for Spring. Even though we didn't live by each other for a long time before he passed I still miss knowing he is on the earth so I love visiting his tree - just sitting, remembering him and being grateful that he was my father. 21-24 February 2019 Serole & Prato Nevoso, Italia Besides passing driving tests, final semester exams, doctorate programs and yoga, yoga, yoga...
