I am continuously amazed how the small, seemingly insignificant decisions that we make in our lives can change them forever. A year and a half ago I made one of those decisions. At the time, it seemed to be of a little consequence. Almost the same as choosing what to have for breakfast in the morning. Then, for awhile, it seemed like it may have, surprisingly enough, been the best decision I ever made. Now, all I can say is that it was a choice that sent me on the biggest journey of my life.
It all came down to a simple plane ticket.

What do you do with that magical moment when everything makes sense - when all the random choices, experiences and encounters come together, and you find that rare instant of clairty?
Then what do you do when it all falls apart?
About 12 years ago I decided to take an Italian 101 course. That seemingly random choice has forever altered the path of my life. My strange connection with the language, culture and people of Italy started with love and joy and culminated with unexpected loss, grief and despair. While previously I was content to follow this unpredictable path, today I seek to understand the reasons and lessons behind my journey.
My journey towards understanding begins here.
