Let us touch the lonely and suffering at this time

March 30, 2020 by Lisa Gigliotti No Comments

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.

Chase after your dreams…no matter your age!

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!

Day Two of Four Days of Thanks-giving

November 28, 2017 by Lisa Gigliotti No Comments

I was blessed by Fruzi and Greti who greeted us when we arrived in Hungary this September, spoiled us with a home-cooked traditional meal of soup and stuffed Hungarian peppers, and who kept my mother Julia and grandparents Zoltan and Anna’s memories alive for me and passed to Eric. I experienced profound gratitude that I could once more gaze at the Danube River that flows through Budapest, Hungary with Fruzsi and Greti.
