Dear Friends,

Grazie, grazie mille, tanto grazie, grazie di cuore! Thank you, all of you, from the bottom of my heart. My little blog has experienced a surge of new visitors and followers recently, which has been quite a thrill for me. As a faithful follower of Dianne Hales’ blog for several years, never did I imagine that one day I would be honored with a guest post on her site! I am humbled. Sincere thanks to Dianne for sharing my story, and to all of you for taking the time to visit Prayers and Piazzas and read more about what’s important to me.

This has been a pretty amazing month in my world. First and foremost, my family is happy and healthy, which paved the way for all these joys: a spontaneous trip to Italy; meeting the lovely, gracious and talented Dianne Hales; the decadence of five days in Florence; having my writing featured on Dianne’s site; bloglove from you all. Truly, my heart is very full, and my spirit is thankful and joyful.

Here’s a little e-dolce to thank you for being so sweet to me. You all inspire me to continue sharing my passions, and I thank you for joining me on the journey!

Tante belle cose (many beautiful things),

Stacy xoxo
