“Practice makes it perfect” A step closer to my dream

I am at a big turning point in my life. 

Kids are going to school and for the very first time after 7 years. I‘m having some free time on my own. 

It is strange how I don’t have anyone to look after but myself. It fells like a big new chapter of my life is just began.

Before I became a mother I worked as Fashion Model. I travelled the world with my job. I have been on magazine covers, I have worn the most luxurious brands and visited the most fantastic places. Today I could be back in the industry but for many reasons, I don’t want to be a model anymore.

During these intense 7 years, I found what I really enjoy doing; and this is to use the creative side of my brain. 

I enjoy drawing very much and if I had to do something without being worried about the money it would be that. I can draw all day long. However, I find it difficult to get into the flow and often I get distracted. Often I end up not drawing anything at all.

This is why I decided to set this challenge. I will be drawing every day for 100 days and I am going to be posting either a video or a picture on my Pinterest account. https://www.pinterest.it/GiadaGJC/

Check out my day 1 drawing and let me know what you think about it!

I felt extremely inspired to watch this video the other day while I was making dinner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCg8g6buE3M

I have lots of ideas and this is my first step to make my dreams come true. 

May this project will help me to understand better where to move.

With Love

A new feeling is invading my head space.
A feeling of the sound of void inside my heart.
Something is missing.

I miss you and I will always miss you.

A solid column in my life collapsed and suddenly a void appeared.I surrender to God’s will and find peace; it is difficult to accept it but I battle to accept it. You are gone and I won’t be able to be with you anymore.

With the grace of God, I pray to Him to forgive your sins and to accept you in the highest place in Heaven.

May your soul rest in peace

I never enjoyed school. I did the bare minimum to keep going without losing a year. It felt like a dreadful chore, I found no meaning behind learning and it felt like I was walking blindfolded. 

I grew up in one of the most beautiful regions in the world, Tuscany but felt hopeless. Among my closest peers, no one was inspired to a better education. We only knew that we had to get our high school diploma and so we did.  

Only after I started to travel (about 19 years old ) and found the things I was interested in, I discovered the joy and the sense of freedom that only knowledge can give you. If I had more time now, most of it would be dedicated to educating myself because other than drawing, nature, and spiritual practice there is nothing more enjoyable than acquiring knowledge.

I sometimes wonder if, when I was a little girl full of dreams, hopes and questions, I had any sort of aspirational guidance or word of encouragement. I would probably and most definitely would be somewhere else. I can’t remember anyone telling us at school WHY and HOW education would make our existence more meaningful. I am very grateful for where I am today and I wouldn’t be here without the life choices I made but I truly believe that education is the only thing that sets us free in this world. 

I constantly remind my children why it is good to have an open mind and how learning can help you understand and enjoy this life every day a bit more and never the less how many great opportunities you can lay ahead of you.

Yes, if there was a thing I have to teach to the next generations and anyone in general is to be greedy with your knowledge the more the better. 

Yours sincerely

Recently, I’ve been finding myself criticising myself for the endless number of things I should have not done. 

Things that I am not proud of, things that show how insecure and unaware I might have been, and things that make me think and re-think how much time I wasted. 

When I am in that flow of mindset I feel empty, sad and at failure. 

I bet you know it is not nice if you have been there. It is a horrible place where guilt predominates over everything and feels impossible to cope with all those acts that felt so right once but not anymore. 

We know we can’t change the past but we can change our way of thinking and live our present life with more intention.

The other day, while I was washing the dishes I couldn’t stop thinking about several mistakes I made in my life. I was blaming myself for how I was not capable to understand and see things in the way they really were.. and suddenly, something came up to my mind, yes is true, those things happened, I wish I didn’t do them but I can’t change it now. But there is something I can do and this is to think about the things which I am proud of, those actions that made me change my path, the path which is definitely much healthier and richer.Leaving toxic relationships for instance has been a life-saving act. I can’t think of myself still being there.

Quitting smoking and drinking habit has been one of the best decision I made. That’s a good step, and I congratulate myself! 

What are the decisions that makes you feel proud of yourself ? I would like to hear about your life-changing decisions

I choose to think about the good things I did and by doing so I feel better and inspired to do more good.  

I hope this article helped you

Warm Regards
