   Hello Lisa,

   We sold our house out at D’aguilar last year with using the Law of Attraction and the principles of the movie -The Secret.

   We had a photo of our house printed out and wrote SOLD across it in red texta, then we put that photo in a book with other images of what we wanted our life to be like after we moved on.

   Fingers and toes are crossed that your house sells asap so that you can move on, and start your life in Italy. Thinking of you and your family.

   Cheers
   Lisa

     Hi Lisa,

     Funny how things work out. Sam and I took the Landmark Forum some years ago and I take those principles into all areas of my life. I totally agree that we can create unexpected results. I love the idea of the photo of Saint Joseph sent by our friends as it is so Italian and he has journeyed so far to be with us. When we first planned to move to Italy the first time we were listening to a lot of Anthony Robbins and had photos all over our office of the places we’d love to visit. A SOLD sign would be wonderful!

     thanks for all your support
     ciao for now
     Lisa

   Hello Lisa,

   My fingers and toes are crossed for you! We sold our house last year out at D’aguilar by using the principles from the movie “The Secret”. We had a image of our house, taken and printed from our computer. And then we wrote “Sold” across the paper in RED texta. Then we put that into a scrap book with images of what we wanted to do once the house was sold.

   It worked – and we sold it for a record breaking price! So here is to your house selling asap and you can move to Italy and start afresh with more renos.

   Cheers
   LIsa

     Thanks Caterina, we now have multiple agents on the job and creating in my mind that it will sell this week. Planning everything from this and gearing up for the big move back to Italy. Our house has to be constantly ready for inspections. Yesterday an agent came and didn’t realise we were actually living in the house, he nearly fell off his chair when I told him we not only were living here but with two children under 10. How are things with you??
     ciao for now

   Ciao Lisa, I was in a town called Monfalcone, right on the Adriatic. Not terribly picturesque but my nonni lived there. I did first year of elementary school (my parents moved back to Italy for a few years) then I went on my own primarily to learn the language (rather than dialett mixed with English) and completed la terza media ( last year junior high). I miss Italy so much 🙁
   I love the top terazza and the view from your new house, it is breathtaking. We were in 5Terre in October last year and I wanted to rent a room right in Manarola and stay there for a month and just “be”. my husband (who is half Maltese but learning Italian so perhaps we can live there one day) also loved your house and blog, said to me “do you think you could go through renovating a house?!” He is not such a handy man as your Salvatore appears to be.
   Nice to meet you too and I look forward to reading about your adventures.
   Ora a letto
   Ciao ciao Paola

   Dear Lisa,
   I am from Melbourne and happened on your blog via Facebook and wow, I read every post you have written. I LOVE what you are doing, terribly brave but exciting. I loved your little house in Piemonte (though it looked freezing) and I wish you all the best with the house in Liguria. I do hope your Brisbane renovation sells very very soon and you can start your journey.
   I am of Italian heritage (I have family in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto), have spent a few years at school near Gorizia. My husband and I talk of living in Italy in the next few years, who knows how, when and which part, it is all beautiful though I am more familiar with the North. Chissa come, quando e dove succedera’. Your renovation is quite inspirational, I look forward to showing it to my husband (I hope he is as enchanted as I am by it!).
   Thanks for your postings, I look forward to hearing about your next step
   Saluti

     Hi Paola,
     Great to meet you, thanks so much for your kind comments. We are also originally from Melbourne, last living in Warburton. We moved to Qld nine years ago (and had two in Italy) and just waiting for a buyer for our house now. It’s hard to be patient when we want to head off so badly. The house in Piemonte wasn’t as cold as it looks, although we had minus 20 and a meter of snow we were about the cloud level so got all the sunshine. Sam would often drive down to the village just with a t-shirt to find them all rugged up.

     I looked up Gorizia, were you at Primary or high school then? Is your husband Italian? Sorry lots of questions, as you say the entire country is just beautiful. My husbands family is from the South. The house we have bought in Veravo will be a wonderful challenge, I can’t wait to get there and actually see it for myself. Say hi to your husband, and hope he wont laugh at our next venture it’s a big job.

     thanks again for your best wishes I value them so much
     ciao for now
     Lisa

     What’s life without a bit of stress, we should be used to this by now having done so many. Just means we have to start thinking outside the box! Thanks LindyLou for your kind wishes they mean a lot!
