<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Ok, let’s do it!”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">I wasn’t scared by all the practical problems, the dealines and the actual feasibility of the project. I wasn’t worried about the technical constraints, the difficulties in choosing the themes and the messages we wanted to convey, nor was I worried about the frequent meetings and constant updates.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Long ago I decided to focus only on the projects I truly believed in, and to work and create with other women.
The Sacred Feminine is definitely a key topic in my life, both personally and professionally, so I felt immediately involved in what Ilaria B. was suggesting. Moreover, my partners in this adventure are two of my closest friends: we’ve known each other for almost 10 years now. We met at the time when we were all taking the first steps on our paths and we’ve been walking hand in hand ever since.</span></span><br />

And while we were beginning to create our dream, step by step, the deep, starry sky of Tuscany was watching us curiously from above the quiet countryside.</span></span><br />

ignited mine, and unleashed my imagination that was already raring to

talking fast, ideas and proposals running freely as the clouds in the
sky above us.</span></div>

<span lang="en"><i><span style="color: #0b5394;">It was the second day
of our training with Miranda and, during a break, Ilaria Sunita and I
left the beautiful room in which we were working and entered the
hall. We stood in front of stall with all the books and the gadgets
on sale and I remember looking with curiosity at a calendar
illustrated by a woman who had worked with Miranda in Spain, I think.</span></i></span></div>
