It’s been 4 weeks since I made my way to the Italian Consulate here in Toronto to submit my application for recognition of my Italian dual citizenship. It feels like it was forever ago!!

I haven’t heard anything from them as of yet so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s a good sign. That anxious feeling is growing with each passing day. I feel like a kid at Christmas time counting down the hours until it’s time to open presents. It’s so close, I can almost touch it. It’s an incredible feeling and I know that it will open up new paths for me to potentially explore. My mind wanders with what I could accomplish once I get that piece of identification. Maybe it will finally bring me to the place in the world that I need to be, should be, and want to be more than anything else. It’s been really difficult being away from Italy. I know that I’m not the first person to feel this way about Italy and most definitely won’t be the last.

I find so much courage, hope, and drive from many fellow bloggers who have answered Italy’s call and found their place there. It gives me confidence. It reminds me that this is possible, I can do it and it isn’t some crazy harebrained idea.

Thank You for allowing me a sneak peek into your lives, stories, and experiences. You may not be aware of it, but you have all inspired me and taught me in your own unique ways. I am grateful!
