A few pictures so you can see what it's like (and me too for that matter).



Mum and Dad,
We found a place! 100 metres from the main square in Lille!
Pics of the apartment (Living room and kitchen...with the previous tenants personal effects...although the furniture belongs to the apartment).
Now...must get through the bureaucracy!

TELL ME A STORY...
was the title of the event. The story: 'Little Red Riding Hood' in English (!) at Ubik bookstore in Cosenza, Italy on Sunday, May 23rd 2010.
The team:
Nica Federico (Little red riding hood), Laura Gennaro (Wolf/Grandma), Fragolino (Fragolino aka Stelio Marano) and Kate Price (Narrator/Mother).

As Nica, Laura and I headed to the bookstore to meet Stelio, the rain poured down.
"Well, if no one shows up, we'll eat the cookies and read the story to the walls" we joked.
BUT, when we got to the bookstore, set up and sat down...the pitter patter of little feet overcame our sad whispers.
The day was a success!
Tonnes of kids, parents and wolf-shaped cookies!!

Thanks to our team and to my Mum and Dad for always reading me stories...you were the inspiration for this day and it rocked!

Changing what you have, Kate, comes from changing who you are.

And changing who you are comes from changing what you think.

Which is why I made the latter so easy.

Hey, I think it's Friday...

The Universe

Because changing what you think, Kate, ultimately changes your words, your actions, the kind of music you listen to, the movies you watch, the places you visit, the friends you hang out with, and, yes, even how you look in jeans.

I'm really far behind...on posting photos for my Mum...on communicating...on...on...on...it feels like everything.
Hope that in this new year I'll organize time well enough so that I can do all the things that make me happiest ie) REST, talk to my family and friends, read, play the guitar...

and now I back-track...

"The Law of Love" moving us to action...

http://www.saintjameswestminster.ca/sermons/090201.pdf

It's Saturday afternoon and I'm home alone...DANCE PARTY! Err...I mean, I need to clean the bathroom, iron a mountain of clothes and vacuum. BUT, before I accomplish the impossible at home today, I'm relaxing and reading.

I'd love to be able to take a drive with my Mum on Sunday morning to London to visit St. James and take part in the service... alas, Cosenza is a bit far for that and so, I'm reading a few of Father Ken's sermons online in PDF format...yay for Father Ken and technology!

I'm reading "Serendipities and surprises" and thinking about how we all have those days where we get a piece of news and are unsure whether it's positive or negative and so, in a state of fear, we panic and feel like a mega death bomb is being dropped on our happy little bubble...obviously, yes, I am talking about myself. Instead, if we attempt for a moment to be rational, we can live the serendipities of life as the unexpected blessings that they are.
