Never Too Late Italy Experience

In April 2027, I’ll be hosting my very first Never Too Late Travel Experience in Tuscany.

Seven nights. Ten women.
And yes — we’ll be staying at the Bramasole made famous by Under the Tuscan Sun, right in Cortona, near where Frances Mayes began her own unexpected chapter.

Spring in Tuscany is soft and alive — open-air markets, long dinners under the stars, wisteria climbing old stone walls.

Everything is taken care of.
Beautiful accommodations. Thoughtful gatherings. Unhurried meals. Time to explore. Space to find yourself.

Only ten spots. Add your name here and be the first to know when the doors open.

A Perfect Movie for Valentine's Day

Well it is a bit of a theme this week. Why not pour yourself your favorite beverage, get out your best dark chocolate and enjoy the wonderful movie Under The Tuscan Sun.

Let this be the sneak preview for next years Never Too Late Italy Experience.

A Perfect Song for Valentine's Day

Or any day for that matter. I used to use this song as a cool down in my presentations and everyone always asked me what the song was.

The Olympics Ice Dance Drama

I just finished watching Glitter & Gold: Ice Dancing on Netflix, and wow—talk about artistry, ambition, and pressure on ice. What makes it even more gripping is that the French couple ultimately took gold at the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics—and all three of the featured pairs ended up on the podium. Incredible. And yet… it’s hard not to notice the chatter around the scoring. A French judge’s marks tipped things in a way that has people questioning whether it was clean or just a little too convenient. If you watched the Ice Dancing and haven't watched this three part series yet - its a must as it gives you all the juicy backstory.
