  • Before we moved to Europe, my husband and I would take a pre-Christmas trip to Chicago. Staying at the Drake where families have gathered for decades, reservations at Lawry's Prime rib, Walking Michigan Avenue at night with all the beautiful lights, and of course Lunch with the Christmas Fairies at the Walnut Room in the old Marshall Fields dept. store. This picture was one of their dept. store window displays. (You can see our reflections in the window 😊) . What are some of your favorite traditions? . #christmastraditions #chicagochristmas #lanasorrento #passionpassport #afar #christmas🎄 #authenticity #christmasmagic #holidayspirit #xmasiscoming

  • One day I said au revoir to all those who told me I couldn’t do it. I would no longer listen to bad advice, negativity, and conversations that told me to live someone else’s life. I stood my ground and doubt ran 👟away. . I sped into a disentangled life in which, if I failed, would be of my own doing. 🙏This self-determining realization was the beginning of a life only responsible to my deepest needs. . There is no running away from a life you self-create.🧡 . #lanasorrento #selfcreatinglife #traveldeeper #passionpassport #afar #authenticity #womanhood #selfnuture #nourishyourlife #mindfulness #lifeinfullbloom
  • Living in the high humidity of🌴🐠Florida🐬🌴, there were many days I could have placed an "Out of Order" sign on the💧👧🏼 frizziness.💧 . There was a time when my life could have displayed the same signage. I imagined a quite different life but the sign said it all. One day, I woke up and realized my imagination could serve as a personal obligation to expand my life and I allowed it. . If I had a sign today it would say "life in full bloom" . #hiddenbeauty #truebeauty #selfcreatinglife #womanhood #lanasorrento #authenticity #traveldeeper #nourishyourlife #experiencelife #noregretsjustlove #lovethislife
  • Hidden beauty certainly elucidates the Florida key deer species. Full grown key deer are about the size of a 3 month-old common deer fawn. They are so darn cute! . Inspired and needing to see one in the wild, I embarked for Big Pine Key, Florida about 30 miles north of the most southern point of the U.S.A. My imagination had placed my mini-Bambi in a stand of pines with a Florida Bay backdrop. Unfortunately, three hours of 90 degree heat tracking deer prints through mangrove thickets, thatch palms, and dense salt marsh grass, brought my un-exposed Nikon and imagination back to my Land Rover and en route to Key Largo. A stand of pines near the road inspired me to stop. Muting every step, I sank further into the pines and thick brush until I was almost face-to-face with the tiny deer. I could barely pause my desire to hug the little bugger long enough to shoot this photo. . I am often reminded of the role hidden beauty has in defining my life. I have conditioned myself to be on the lookout for hidden beauty in people and places learning that I don’t typically go far to find hidden beauty. The perfect bay in Campania - deserted except for a tiny restaurant, 10 rooms and a beach club less than an hour from touristy Sorrento, the family in my own town that touched my heart with their passion for the food, wine and ambiance of their restaurant, and all people who warm me when I let myself see their true beauty. . I’m much better finding hidden beauty than I was a few decades ago. Back then, I didn’t really know what hidden beauty meant or that it was everywhere. It took becoming selfless and understanding my own hidden beauty to open the door to the beauty that surrounds all of us. . I still want to hug that little deer but that feeling is true now for many things in my life. . #hiddenbeauty #truebeauty #selfcreatinglife #truebeauty #lanasorrento #authenticity #traveldeeper #nourishyourlife #experiencelife #noregretsjustlove #lovethislife #personalgrowth
  • A new place is not necessarily a destination; it can simply be a new way of seeing things. The discoveries I cherish are not limited to new places; some were familiar places with new eyes. I remain alert for the hidden secret in every destination, whether real or imagined. In the end, I feel more than I have seen. Leaving these places, I think I want to stay but say “I love you” and go on. #immagination #passionpassport #afar #traveldeeper #selfcreatinglife #lanasorrento #alifealive #experiencelife #destinations #uncommontravel #wanderlusters #personalgrowth
  • I have pebbles from Lago Maggiore and red sand from Gozo’s Ramala beach. They are clustered with an uncommon vase I discovered one late night in Oritigia and a smooth piece of glass from the bank of the Yangtze river that feels good in my hand. . My Canfora sandals joined the party because these and most of my belongings are not trivial stuff. Stuff is what didn’t make it into the four suitcases that moved my life to Europe. . Rather than personal emblems or possessions, all of these are cues from my experiences. . What are some of your cues? #traveldeeper #lanasorrento #selfcreatinglife #passionpassport #afar #mindfulness #authenticity #nourishyourlife #experiencelife #womanhood #alifealive .
