Perfect Mother’s Day Gift during social distancing time? – A Coraggio gift set filled with encouragement delivered to her door!
I am happy to add the loving touch of signature and ribbons, and love you up with $2 off each book plus combined shipping.
My all-time fav Mother Teresa quote is:
“Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.”
Day after day Mother Teresa personally encountered an unyielding number of poor, sick and unwanted. Yet, she relentlessly extended bodily and figurative touch through her deep well of compassionate love, returning to God when needing to replenish her cache of goodness. At this time of global illness and isolation, let us heed her call to see and touch the lonely, suffering and unwanted all around us, by whatever means we are able.
I always look forward to the gift of a rose on Nonna’s birthday.
Sure enough, right on time did this beauty appear.

Chase after your dreams, no matter your age!
I am thrilled to have met Italian Director Katia Bernardi and Co-producer Davide Valentini, who brought this message alive in their film “Funne.”

Their heart-warming and humorous story follows a group of older women
from a remote, picturesque mountain village,
in pursuit of their dream to travel to the sea.
Bravo Katia and Davide!
Grazie organizer of the Italian Film Fest Carmen De Lorenzo!
Celebrating a new www.WithCourageICan.com website in time to honor Mother’s Day and the inspirational examples of courage my Nonna, Mother, and Nagymama showed me. Those lessons formed the Coraggio Book Series theme: Be Happy ~ Be Healthy ~ Take Charge of Your Attitude ~ Take Charge of Your Health ~ Have No Excuses ~ Have a Gratitude Attitude.
Check out the 30 to 60 second videos for each of the books and a 5th as overview of the Coraggio message. http://www.withcourageican.com/about/ I humbly ask: Would you share the WithCourageICan.com website with friends and those you believe might need a dose of Coraggio inspiration and hope?

On this day we honor the courage of those who protect our nation’s freedom. As this year’s St. Thomas More Award recipient I wish to also honor those whose Moral Courage protected our freedom to express our belief in God and openly worship in Houses of Faith.
At Red Mass, Oct. 2014
Tuesday’s Funeral Mass was a beautiful celebration of the life of mio Papa; a father who imparted to his children the importance of Faith and Famiglia.
We will miss your vibrant stories.
We are grateful for the lifetime of Patience, Wisdom and Love.
For those of you who struggle for hope this day…I reflect on the hope of the rosebud outside my window. As darkness fell each night this week I yearned for it to bravely endure despite frosty air. At dawn’s first light I rushed to glimpse—Yes! Vibrancy amid the grey!—its endurance brought me amazement’s inspiration.
A Rosebud’s Hope
The hope of the rosebud, that no matter how dark and despairing the night, it must continue, to bring the full potential it bears. For the bud knows that by its mere existence at the break of the dark, desperate struggle, its exquisite beauty and miraculous endurance will shine inspiration upon all whose gaze it greets. Hope. Always Hope. Spero sempre.
