With things rapidly changing from one day to the next, one thing that has remained constant is my gratitude for being
able to travel the world with a phenomenal group of amazing women. I understand that certainty is natural to humans with most of us wanting to know when something is happening immediately. I’m choosing to focus on gratitude, meditation and my task list….
Upon arrival to the former airline terminal turned hotel, we were greeted by employees dressed in vintage

Reading the New York Times travel section played an instrumental role in getting me started on my path to becoming a “savvy” traveler. It doesn’t mean I didn’t notice the lack of diversity in between the lines of its lavish descriptions, but this is another example of the importance of using the resources you have as stepping stones rather than letting what you don’t have be the obstacles that stop you when it comes to manifesting your dreams into a reality….

Ravello’s pinkest hotel & restaurant
While it was pricier to stay in picturesque Positano compared to some of the other surrounding villages, I loved how the central location enable our group to easily get around on foot as well as have easy access to both ground transportation and transportation by sea to visit Ravello, Sorrento, Capri and Amalfi (yup, there is also a town called Amalfi). Our days filled with the turquoise hued Mediterranean, lemon trees at every turn, hidden grottos and flowering wisteria; I will never forget my time spent in the land of Limoncello.
