How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
Covid pandemic was like the “Spanish” of the 20s of twentieth century; many died and the fear spread.
Then, tbc caused social problems, discriminations like after, aids.
It seems that history repeats itself, technology and medical knowledges are advanced respect one time, but why the treatments were not that effective? We were in front of new unknown virus or someone knew?
However, it results a global disgrace, with certainly generational consequences. I’m not negative, I’m realist…now in the 2024, is gotten a little light on.
Changes in the mind of people are the most heavy; fear distances one from another, creates groups of thoughts one against the other. I think that politics played it’s part, prefers the population to be divided.
Another change,( I speak for Italy, that I know anough) is “working at home”. For me is normal, but many was a big changing and now, that has been well accepted, maybe it will be removed.
Public health, in Italy, is no more so valid like a time. Very long waiting times for medical tests; the health insurance doctors are few, write prescriptions over the phone, without even knowing what the patient looks like. I think the “idea” is strengthen private healthcare.
On our trips to Portugal, during and after pandemic until this latter, Portugal, closed the free motorhomes areas and today the most, are still closed. There are many prohibit parking. This, in Algarve, the favorite Winter destination. Alentejo, is better, cause needs tourists. Spain has remained always very welcoming.
Morally, adapting myself to the situations, I live my life my way.💓
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
Thinking to wake up early morning… Oh no! It’s dramatic.
When I was a little girl,to go to school, I woke up at about seven a.m.and the first half hour, I still sleeping, in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet🥴.
Wake up in the morning, at 8.30/9.00 a.m. is ideal for me and fortunately also for Fiore and Grisú that is a sleepyhead too.
I know it says ” the morning has gold in mouth”, but I prefer afternoon.
Our first hour look like a relaxed, slow awaking, I sit on the sofa, Grisú near me, Fiore, give us water to drink,not more of 37°, with powder of ginger, turmeric and horsetail and little warm for Grisú too and with this habit, starts morning ritual:
Flaxseed to chew, rich in Omega-3, good to improve memory, fruit with fibers and vitamins, like apple ( vit. C and pectine) that there is always ” an apple every day, keep the doctor away”😄, avocado ( vit. B group, I, PP, A, potassium, fats), sometimes banana and beetroot, when we find it.
Oat flakes, jam and coconut butter with bread and long coffee, complete the breakfast that is, for us, a brunch, not much Italian, I know. Together, we help Grisú eating, while we talk a lot of many things.
We allow ourselves to take the morning in this way, because for our biorhythm is good. I think, is better follows own needs, if it’s possible.
The most of human beings, when, in societies, have the role of people, become standardised, to feel part of it, but often, putting themselves aside.
Fashion dictates rules, schools too; media such TV, shows how have to do…it’s difficult to be ourselves!
Everyone of us has a particular, for how it thinks, speaks and behaves, which distinguishes it from others and, is this particular, that make us unique.
Look for our own particular and we defend our uniqueness.😃✨=E+
More of one time,thinking about something, I laugh, for no particular reason.I basically, enjoy laughing at nothing.
Since when I was a child, I laughed at nothing. It was something funny for me, a game. When I was with a friend,too, we look each other in the eyes to make us laugh.
Laughing is good for health of the body and mind. Surely it raises immune defenses and it makes us brighter and more positive in the eyes of others.
So… I laugh at nothing too, because is good for me😂.
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
70’s advertising by the Ferrero company.
When I was five, I still went to children’s kindergarten, and I only thought to play.
I remember, I liked making things with my hands, drawing, and playing, at home with my little carton house, “cicocca”. It was certainly already there my creativity, that is the most important skill I have and I used in my life until today, but I didn’t think to the future…I started then.
I lived in the present, which I do today, after periods in which I was too projected towards the future or too tied to the past.
A child is simply and has all answers of life in your soul… It would be enough to keep ourselves like to live peacefully.💖
What’s something most the people don’t understand?
There are many things that we all, don’t understand; each of us is different, with needs, character, vision of life that distinguish us. It’difficult, step into other people’s shoes! But it’s important to know, that diversity is good.
Western society, nowadays, asks us to be all the same, like a bit of fashion with clothing, but our thoughts are part of us and we cannot change based on how others dictate.
I think, “Critical Spirit” is necessary, to safeguard the health of our life, and I think too, most of people don’t understand it.
Currently, to be critic compared to the demands of the society we live in, is a way to maintain own identity, but often, unfortunately, it is seen as an element of social disturbance.
My latest minimalist creation, copper and stone…”to feel the energy of earth”
In what that is my holistic work space, the activity that has been influenced by the advancement of technology is jewels production.
I like goldsmith art, drawing by hand and also producing in the same way; before starting to do this job, I was fascinated by the ancient techniques of artisanal production, and the art of a unique piece to wear, which also makes the wearer special.
“DIY” is my technique: few pieces, handmade, but if I wanted to be on the job market competitively, I should draw on a computer, 3D, and with advanced programs show my work to companies and to know the new technics of industrial production.
Then, now there is also Al, that I mean, he could be able design a lot of different jewels in a minimum time, without having to pay for it😶.
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?
I said no and I’m gone all straight on my path, when these goals of mine were very important; I speak of work, studies already started and love… For my parents, first of all.
When I was young, I was looking for approval for my choices. For lack of life experience, if a my idea was criticized, I questioned it, giving priority to things that , for me were less important to reach my goals.
And time passes, looking back, I would have done something differently, but this is my actual point of view, growing we see with eyes of maturity; experiences give courage to stand firm in your position and say no😃.
