The Privilege of Travel
I find myself on the train today. We are traveling from the Côte d’Azur Region of France, known as the French Riviera. we are leaving Nice, France headed to Rome, Italy.
I continue to marvel at the sights and the wonders that surround me.

In the south of France, picturesque Mediterranean quarters of ..... style, buildings 6 stories high, are accented by traditional French shutters and awnings of various colors.
Leaving Nice, we travel through Monaco and into the Italian countryside.
As we travel along the coast, we are blessed with the Mediterranean sea to the right and tree-lined sloping hills peppered with quaint villas to the left.

Deep in thought, I realize suddenly that we are living the dream. We are traveling off to explore a faraway country. For the first time, I am seeing Europe.
I pinch myself and know that it is real because it hurts like hell. The pinch on my skin rivals the pain of the gnarly mosquito bites in this region. Despite the humidity and the overwhelming need for air conditioning, I am still loving this adventure we are on.
On a side note: if you are traveling through Europe in the summer, consider mosquito repellant and look for air conditioning in your accommodations. Taken for granted in the U.S., A/C (and ice, got that matter) is a luxury here in Europe and NOT a norm.
All those years of schooling – learning about the history and culture, battles fought, wars won, lives lost, allies made and treaties signed – I am a part of, at once a guest and at present now, this land of magnificent and infamous souls alike that have roamed this region.

Uniquely and Distinctly Different, All Beautiful Nonetheless
Each country in this region, in any region for that matter, has a rich and distinct past. Even with history in the eyes of its own heritage and perspective, cultures and traditions passed on is memorialized from one generation to every descending generation thereafter. Great stories are told and romanticized forever. Hardships and challenges are integrated with lessons, heroes and villains are birthed and immortalized.
Living awareness to the extent of one’s consciousness, we become integrated with that to which we are mindful and give attention to.
Each individual, you and me alike, live a world unto his or her own self.
“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.”
Each nation lives in a collective consciousness and is capable only to the extent of its awareness of itself, and its place in the world. Each nation state makes itself the victor or victim, as each one of us tells our own stories.
It is through sharing thoughts that we communicate, both Nations and individuals. We invite others to share our individual world when “let others in.”
Sharing who we are is a basic human need for belonging and community. We let others in by courageously opening ourselves up. With courage and vulnerability, we speak our mind. Opening our hearts through communication of any means, we can actually authentically connect with others.

The Truth About Mindfulness In The Midst of Changing Times
Your life is what you are present to. When we practice getting out of autopilot, we become present, even for a moment, with what is unfolding in front of us.
Truth is, the present moment, right now is the only moment we’ve got. We no longer can do anything about the past. Each moment that passes is a fleeting moment: fragile, temporal, and never to be seen or experienced again. The future is yet to be, and if we attempt to focus solely on our future, we will miss what is in front of us, right here, right now.
Through the practice of mindful living, Elaine Gallagher shares how you can learn to live each moment of this precious life. More
