Dearest Belle Violet, you always write from a place deep within your heart and soul. ❤️

I love it all. Praying for you guys every night to transition home without too much trauma. We’ve missed you all so much, but feel your reluctance to return from that beautiful place!

Great post - but oh! the horrors of having your home so desecrated! After that - I love that you included the last days in Venice too. And the visa horrors. Love that the screaming worked!

I feel like I'd follow you wherever you go - you are such an engaging writer. I've sent an email to many friends :-)

A fair following wind to you and your family!

Re: Perhelion, I hope you repeat the event as it seems to be something I could/ should do for me

Thank you for your writing! I still have a few of your earlier posts I have not yet read; trying to savor and stretch them out. Good luck with the transition and I look forward to seeing what is to come in this space. And AGREED on healthcare. Big sigh.

Wow how I have LOVED this newsletter! I've made a point to read and re-read (and re-read them again out loud to my partner!) every single one. I will really miss seeing the lagoon through your eyes, but I can't wait to support you in whatever you do next.

Ugh the visas...that’s part of what I’ve heard about as the reason never to move to Italy which is the bureaucracy! But you survived and have so many great stories... look forward to more of your writing even if it’s not about Venice <3
