Una Vita Bella means “a beautiful life” in Italian. I am not Italian, but I do love the romance languages of Spanish, Italian, and French. I love the idea of having a beautiful life despite its many challenges. I suppose some would say I have great challenges in my life and yet, in comparison to a large percentage of the world, my life is quite “easy”.

I am in the process of changing the direction of this blog a bit…as I have been focusing mainly on the chronic pain and mental health issues I deal with personally until now. I would like to expand the scope of this blog… sharing many different aspects of life and release myself from the idea that my writing has to fit into some kind of mold or be suited for a specific audience. I will most certainly still focus greatly on these topics, but will be adding to them and also change up my perspective a bit now and then. Broadening my horizons, you could say…

You may find me discussing a news story, a blog, or an article. You may find me posting poetry or gratitude lists. I am just no longer limiting myself to the same kind of format that I have been following. A beautiful life has variety, and I want to experience more variety, as well as bring you more.

I am in the midst of a transformation in my life, I suppose we all are, in one way or another. As I move through this transition and the many others certainly to come, I hope to bring more beauty out into the open by sharing my experiences, my beliefs, my opinions, my pain, my joys and my journey. I look forward to meeting you on the path.
