Italian Dreams

http://italiandreams.wordpress.com

I am just a girl who is doing her best to get through a divorce and heal from almost dying this summer at the same time. My blog relates the story of facing a divorce and almost dying in an Italian hospital. It is about healing on multiple levels, and it is about what opens up for me out of these challenges. Will I finally move to Italy?

This is an interesting blog about a pilgrimage, (or pilgrimages), through Italy with neat photographs along the way!
