A favorite post from February 2012…
At the European Parliament, in Strasbourg, an 18-month old girl votes on the Eurozone debt crisis.
Victoria, the daughter of Licia Ronzulli, has been in attendance with her mother, a Member of the European Parliament, ever since she was a baby.
“The picture of modern motherhood, Ms Ronzulli, from Lombardy, Italy, took multi-tasking to new levels as she carried her daughter, addressed the parliament and checked her Blackberry.”
Licia Ronzulli has an impressive resume, besides being a dedicated mother, now 36 years old, she is a member of the environment, health and food safety commission in Strasbourg and has also worked as a nurse in Milan and Bangladesh before becoming a hospital director and then turning to politics.

We always attract into our lives whatever we think about the most, believe in most strongly, expect on the deepest levels, and imagine most vividly.
The more positive energy we put into imagining what we want, the more it begins to manifest in our lives.

It’s not easy to quit your day job and pursue your passions, and that’s what writer / photographer Nichole Robertson has done, with much success.
When asked, ‘What do you enjoy most about not having a day job’? the creator of the popular website, Little Brown Pen, replied, “As a copywriter, I worked very hard to help build someone else’s business. Now I work hard to build my own. That’s a really good feeling.”
And the advice she would give someone considering a similar path? Nichole says “I think the most important thing is to be passionate about what you do.”
So true.
After moving to Paris in 2009 with her husband and two young sons, Nichole started exploring the city and took photographs, away from the tourist crowds. By ‘happy accident’, she caught on to a theme of Parisian colors, which she now calls the ‘Paris Color Project.’
From there, Chronicle Books published Nicholes first pictorial book earlier this year, ‘Paris in Color,’ and her Etsy store, the Paris Print Shop, offers a showcase of fine art photography from her Project.

- Focus on your ‘goals’ and ‘shoot’ for them.
- Build long-lasting, trustworthy relationships with others.
- And most of all… Have fun.
