I wonder how many of us get up in the morning and say to ourselves that we will try to inspire someone today? We all have times when we need a bit of inspiration to keep us going…

Venice – where it all began for us!

I’ve been inspired by two wonderful women who I think of as my Venetian sisters: Terri has successfully submitted a15,000 word Honours thesis! Definitely not a task for the faint-hearted!

Sarah has achieved a milestone by successfully curating her first Contemporary Indigenous & Torres Strait Islander art exhibition and competition at the Parliament of NSW – a project she has been particularly passionate about!

This is their time to shine!

And me? Well, at present I’m a fledgling foreign language student.  But with two completed Italian language semesters behind me, I have gained inspiration also from a new friend, Angelo.  Angelo is from Brescia, a town near Milan, and he willingly gave of his time to converse with me in Italian. His enthusiasm and amazing ability to interpret my share of our conversations kept the fun and excitement of learning another language alive for me. Grazie milla, Angelo!
