It was hazy day in early July; I was sitting on a train, leaving a funeral, when this sensation came over me. It was my inner voice calling out to me or it was my soul reaching for an outlet to tell me my real needs. I got out my computer and begin to write. What I discovered was that I was sad, dissatisfied with where my life was going and what my soul screamed out to me was just what I had been looking for. She said “April, my dear, go find yourself. Go discover a part of you that needs to be unveiled. Follow your heart, embark on a journey and leave this place.”
The signs came to me and I realized that I needed to travel for a bit. My soul, my inner self, had been suffocated, tortured and held down for too long. I needed to breathe, scream and roam this world freely without a single finger holding me back.
One night I looked upon my wall and stared into a painting that had entranced me for so long. The answer was there, I needed not to look any further. The painting said to me “go to Italy”. Go to Italy, eat, find joy, experience life, roam freely and nourish your soul.
So now I sit here overlooking Lake Union in my sisters North Seattle condo feeling excited, worried, strong and alive because this is where my journey begins.

I hope that your journey brings you what you need. I can't wait to hear more about your adventures. Eat some great food for me.
April, I've told you before, but now all the world can know how much I admire you. You live your principles, which is very difficult to do in this world. And, you are possessed with a bravery at such a young age, that I didn't find until much later in life. I'm glad you are embarking on this adventure, and look forward to reading every chapter. Ciao!
