Backing off a bit
I have been trying to make ends meet lately. There was the lack of money in my bank account. Running around ragged riding my bike through Florence to the Caserma(barracks) and then falling into a deep sleep on the train to Livorno. I have been keeping my eyes peeled for a job in Florence since the monthly train ticket to Livorno is pretty expensive. I really want to keep working in Livorno since it is good work experience. I just want to think that it will all work out for the best. Which I know each job I take will bring me closer to my dream job.
As I watch my Carabinieri boys build their vocabulary and put together great sentences, I feel AMAZING! I feel like I was meant to be a teacher all along. My philosophy professor, Dr. Poling was right. He had always told me to become a teacher. So did my parents. Even if it is English, I still feel great when my students start speaking and asking questions in English. I didn't know this would be such a good feeling.
So I know the Universe knows what I want. I want a job(s) in Florence, teaching both English and BODYFLOW. I want to feel like I accomplished a goal and/or challenged myself in one way or another. I want to be open to anything and everything that life has to offer. I want to keep the negativity out of my life and attract only Positivity. I want my heart to let go of any pain that still lingers within me. I want to understand people better and not get angry so easily. I want to be happy for what I have each day I wake up. I am grateful for this life and all that resides in it.
I WANT TO LIVE AND WORK IN FLORENCE!! (NOW do you understand, Universe!)
a presto amici!! 
I have been following your blog for quite awhile now, and what a change
I think you have always known what you want to do, but it was finding ways of doing IT.. Well done, I think you are there. What a great job teaching the Carabinieri boys. Keep going you will reach your goal for sure.
I need to keep reading your blog to give me confidence, to believe in myself, I think I might get there, even though I am a lot older than you.
I want to learn French.. it is a struggle, but I am sure I will get there.
