I think it’s safe to say 2020 has been a major turning point in our lives. We have all been under some kind of depression, anxiety and fear from all the chaos happening around us due to the riots, pandemic and lockdowns. As most you know we are still in Italy and things are starting to open up more with the airlines, but still not many international flights are available with the borders still closed in many areas around the world. We have managed to book our flight back home to in early November. It’s been like watching a movie seeing all the chaos with the riots, fires and constant violence that seems to be escalating from America. We know many of our friends and family members are at their wits end and feeling the pain of all this. These things have inspired me to create a support system online for us to discuss our stories and I will start this in a live chat weekly that I have named, “Beyond 2020, Nourishing your mind, body and spirit.”

I have personally had my share of health issues recently with a heart condition called, “Pericarditis.” This came on suddenly and at first I thought it was just heartburn as it was a strange feeling that I had never experienced before and because occurred a few times, I made the decision to get myself checked. Luckily I listened to my intuition because if I had not, I would have most certainly have ended up spending some time in the hospital. I had inflammation around my heart and was told to have complete rest so that this flu like condition around my heart would disappear and not get worst. Many of us could confuse symptoms such as what I have been having as anxiety and I knew despite all the things I was seeing happening in America, I was relatively calm and didn’t feel I was experiencing anxiety. So it was a good thing I was aware of my body and got this checked.

Many of us have been depressed due to the lockdowns and the economic uncertainty that looms thoughout our world. We have had friends commit suicide, become reclusive and afraid to venture from their homes to see anyone and live in a state of fear and anger from feeling helpless. These are the reasons I want to take the time to help because we are indeed all connected as energetic beings. I am willing to share my own personal stories in hopes of helping others push through this crisis. I truly feel the only way to heal our world is by honestly sharing our stories because many people need to get these feelings out and see that no one is immune to what is happening currently in our world.

We must come together as one and get beyond 2020 and nourish not only our bodies, but also our minds and spirits with healthy thoughts and feelings to stay in balance. I have written about this in my book, “True Age, Timeless Beauty.” Many of you have told me how much that little book helped you get your lives in balance. I plan to follow this book up with “True Wisdom, Timeless Spirit,” that I will give to you for FREE once I complete it. Just sign up for my newsletters on my website if you are interested in receiving it. Balance in the key to surviving and thriving beyond 2020 and I want to do what I can to help in that area.

Moving beyond 2020 creatively has been the only way we have stayed focused. Ronn has been doing with music and his latest album, “Lockdown Lover.” Together we are producing our first movie, “Surprise Trip.” It’s been a miracle that we have managed to get this vision achieved during a pandemic year. We are now in the final week of shooting this romantic comedy and it is turning into something that we are extremely proud of. There is still much to do as producers once this movie is completed. Ronn is also doing the music for it and will be working on that along with monitoring the editing of it. I am in charge of sales and distribution, as well as, social media and will make a cameo in it. We are already working on the sequel that we hope to shoot in America because that is how good we think it is and can’t wait to share this labor of love with you all.

It is because of you that I also created “Devin’s Kitchen” for Youtube. This a live cooking show with emphasis on quick, easy and healthy recipes that I shared during the pandemic. I can see how much you seem to be enjoying this and hope to bring you more inspirational guests from around the world to share their recipes as soon as I’m back to myself, which I’m optimistically hoping will be this week! In the meantime, I hope you stay in balance physically, mentally and spiritually as we move beyond 2020!
