Gena writes: Last night sitting in the cooking class with Chef Cappecci, I barely noticed the heat. It struck me that I thought I knew what living was, but I realize I hardly have an idea of what it is. The reality is, living in the moment is so important to realizing all of what life has to offer. The experience of being in a class learning the ways of an Italian chef teaching us real Italian food shadows what I have experienced in our country. Rather, the numbing sensation of the heat and the reflection time have really shined a light on how much living I want to do.

Gena - What an insightful reflection! As parents and teachers we are so proud of our kids when they start making connections & realizations such as yours! Continue "living in the moment" and inspiring those around you. Have fun!!
