  Fotografia di Jonny Kimber “Ho fallito molte volte. Ed è per questo che alla fine ho vinto tutto.” Michael Jordan Cosa dobbiamo pensare mentre stiamo correndo verso quell’orizzonte che ogni volta che sembra avvicinarsi, si allontana sempre di più? Facciamo squadra, alziamo di nuovo la testa e il corpo, contraiamo i muscoli dell’addome, rilassiamo le braccia e aumentiamo il nostro passo. Rusty Russell, un allenatore talentuoso di football americano giovanile, decise di spostarsi con la sua famiglia per dedicare il suo tempo ad allenare dodici ragazzi di un orfanotrofio durante la Grande Depressione e aiutarli a raggiungere la loro potenzialità, per far sì che fossero preparati e resilienti per i campionati e per il loro futuro. Una consapevolezza profonda di quello che si può realizzare con gli altri, lo ha spinto ad uscire dalla zona di conforto e dare tutto per una vita condivisa e ricca di generosità e unità. Rich Roll, un avvocato, faceva fatica ad arrivare in cima alle scale ...

  φωτογραφία από την Felicity Zucchi Ένα απόγευμα μιας Κυριακής, ενώ περπατώ δίπλα στον δρόμο στην εξοχή κοντά στο σπίτι μας στη Βόρεια Ιταλία, έχω συναίσθηση για την γαλήνη που με περιβάλλει αφήνοντας πίσω μου την φασαρία του κέντρου, και οι λόφοι ανοίγουν μπροστά μου. Η αίσθηση της ελευθερίας και η σύνδεση με το περιβάλλον, αφήνουν ένα χαμόγελο στο πρόσωπό μου. Ήταν η σωστή επιλογή να βγω στη φύση και να αφήσω πίσω μου όλα τα πράγματα που με πιέζουν, τουλάχιστον για λίγες ώρες. Γιατί αυτή η ηρεμία και το δικαίωμα να ζω δείχνουν τόσο πολυτελή; Γίατί υπάρχουν ξαφνικά αισθήματα τύψεων του να παίρνουμε χρόνο για διάλειμμα; Ποιος ακριβώς μας κυνηγά; Κάθε μέρα της ζωής μας είναι ένα δώρο, μια ευκαιρία να κάνουμε κάτι vέο, να αναπτύξουμε περαιτέρω το πάθος μας ή τα ταλέντα μας, ή να προσφέρουμε κάτι από μας, που μόνο εμείς μπορούμε να δώσουμε. Πότε θα αρχίσουμε να καταλαβαίνουμε ότι οι ζωές μας έχουν μεγάλη αξία; Κάτι πραγματικά που θα μπορούμε μόνο να βιώσουμε αν δώσουμε στους εαυτούς ...

  “That’s why I never became a prima donna. I came from a time when nothing was given to me. My philosophy was, never complain when things get tough – or tougher – just accept it, and keep going. Deal with what you have – good or bad – and find a way to make it work." Tina Turner Leaning on the end of the breakwater a man stares out to sea, watching the swimmers glide past; pigeons strut along the decking of the local café on the beach looking for a mate or a few left overs, snatches of conversation in different languages reveal the latest updates on how things are going for people at the moment. The calm deep turquoise sea reflects the beauty of the surroundings and the gazes of contentment shared between people show that as I have grown up believing, the best things in life are free. We can all enjoy them, but we need to get out of the mud, quit swimming in circles and start seeing the beauty, take our place in this life, we need to act now.  My husband showed me a video of ...

  Photograph by Felicity Zucchi “Realize that everything connects to everything else” – Leonardo DaVinci. Weaving through the bustling side streets in Parma, the market in full swing with bikes lining the walls of Teatro Reggio, people animatedly chatting over a coffee, others digging deep to find the latest bargains and store sellers dynamically serving and offering tips to clients, how much I would miss it if I were to change locations…the buzz of the city seems so far away as the train pulls up to a station in East Sussex on its way to Brighton. Flitting between countries, suitcases, planes, cars and trains, the looming question is how does it all connect, how does it finally come together? One minute you're taking photos for end of year school concerts from beautiful balconies in an Italian church, the next you're packing yet another suitcase and reorganising one house and off to another as a guest. Since I was eighteen and lost my mum, I have spent a lot of my life living ...
