Bella Scipione

Bonjour, de Marseille, France!!! I am writing to you from Le Café de la Banque, a charming little café in the city. After what seemed like a long spring in London, I am happy to share that I have officially completed all of my Master’s courses, and will be working on my final dissertation throughout the Summer. It’s hard to believe it’s been 8 months since making my big move across the pond. I am totally falling in love with the version of myself that I am becoming. I have created an incredible network of friends, reconnected with my core values and passions, and discovered a new sense of independence. And now, I get to start yet another journey of travels, blogging, and creating more stories to share with those I love most.

Over the next four weeks, I will be traveling throughout the South of France and regions of Italy with my good friend, Jesse. Those that have followed along throughout the years may know the story of Jesse and the Aussie chaos that follows him. When G and I met Jesse in Rome two years ago, I would have never believed this is where our friendship would be today. The story continues and I look forward to the adventures that are ahead.

As thrilled as I am to share my travels with someone who has been a significant part of my past journeys, I remind myself of the importance of maintaining my independence and protecting my peace. “Protecting your peace” has come up frequently in recent conversations with my closest friends. The beauty of the phrase lies in its personal meaning, which varies for each person and each situation. For the current version of myself, it means finding calmness within my heart amidst the noise of the outside world. Energy is everything; it radiates from those around us and has the power to create magic. We are the creators of our universe, and the power of attraction lies in how we envision ourselves in the world. Protecting your peace allows you to embrace who you are and who you choose to become. This energy is sacred.

Over the next four weeks, I am making a promise to myself to protect this peace and continue on this path with an open heart and mind. As always, I am so excited to share what’s to come and lessons I learn with my Bella’s Blogs readers. Stay tuned! Thank you for staying on this journey with me and for loving me and my curious mind.
