In today’s episode from Florence, we chat about the dream we’re living now and how we got to this point. It was originally Marcie’s Impossible Goal and on JoAnn’s Someday List. Now we want to call it something else, but we don’t know what yet. But for the past week, we’ve been listening to Christy Whitman’s videos on the power of words. She takes common phrases we often say and talks through reasons to eliminate saying them and what to replace them with.  Instead of saying “I can’t wait”, she suggests saying “I’m looking forward to”. This small change makes a shift in energy from scarcity to positivity. 

We have some visitors with us and they gave us Daruma dolls. They come without the eyes drawn in so they are meant to be drawn in by us. Once an intention or goal is set, one eye is drawn in. When the goal is met, the other eye is drawn in. It is a talisman that will remind us of our goals. It is not meant as a wish, but as a promise to ourselves to achieve those goals. The shape of the doll suggests the doll will fall, but always land upright.

56. The Next Dream And The Power Of Words

As requested by our friends in Rosarito Mexico, We are sharing a morning in Florence with you. You will want to watch this episode on our Youtube channel - Have you heard of Marbled Paper? If you haven’t, it’s a beautiful craft that we highly recommend trying. We went and took a class with Riccardo at his store in Florence. At the time of this recording, the class was 30 euros. You can find him on Instagram and Facebook @riccardolucifirenze. He does demonstrations in the store and you can schedule a class to make your own design. The paper can then be used to cover a notebook, picture frame and he does have a variety of products to choose from like leather wallets, card holders, even earrings. He is patient, good natured, and what a delight it was to meet him and his staff. They have also been featured in Japan’s magazine Italia. It’s no surprise that the other side of the world already knows him! If you want to see a full demonstration, go to Instagram @younicornlens for the Live

57. As Requested, A Morning In Florence and Marbled Paper With Riccardo Luci

During our stay in Florence, we met people with great dreams and stories. Dominique is one of them. Listen to her story of a dream that unfolded in its own time. The process started in 2019 to get her Italian visa. She had the perfect conditions to be able to obtain this special family visa. Then the world shut down - she was unable to go anywhere. She still had the strong desire to move to Italy and improve her craft of singing opera so she took classes online and watched streamed performances from NY. She kept as close to her dream as she could even though she couldn’t make the move at that time. Having never been to Italy before and not speaking the language, she didn’t let that stop her from moving at the end of summer 2021. There were so many conditions that were influential to her successful transition. What a delight it was to hear her adventure and see how things worked out for her so far!

The final episode…for now! Marcie and JoAnn talk about what their next right dreams are - JoAnn will be stepping away from the podcast, but Marcie may do some rebranding so stay tuned! We filled in one eye on our Daruma dolls and when we complete our next right step, we will fill in the other eye. Marcie shares about her book idea and JoAnn talks about her Vision Videos. It has been a fun ride and gave us so many opportunities to connect with others all around the world. We wanted to learn, get used to speaking and find inspiration. Thank you for coming along on the journey. We’re still here so let’s keep in touch!
