Colosseum II

If you’re looking to bring a piece of Italy into your home or office, you’re about to get lucky. Now available for download to be displayed how you wish, is “Colosseum II,” an original photo taken on an October morning in Rome. “Colosseum II” is a wide angle view from the inside of the Colosseum. Seeing and wandering about the Colosseum was a surreal experience. This picture transports me right back to the very moment as I was breathlessly taking it in disbelief that I was standing before the Colosseum in Italy! It was a life long dream of mine to go to Italy and there I was, standing inside all of my art history, photography, and travel books in real life. I am so grateful that this dream came true. I am honored to share my personal experience of my trip to Italy through my photos. Colosseum is the first of many to be available for download.

With this download, you are at liberty to print this photo on any medium at any size you wish to fit the scale of your home or office. This photo is for personal use only and not for resale. Further rules are stipulated on the purchase page.

Enjoy this Italian journey through my eyes and heart! Grazie Mille.

“The Wim Hof Method is a combination of breathing exercises, exposure to cold and commitment that can help you regulate your stress levels.”

— Wim Hof

Wim Hof Method

Deep breathing resets stress hormones in the body. It’s best for the body to be more alkaline than acidic. Through deep breathing, the pH-value in the blood increases making the blood more alkaline and less acidic. The average pH-value is 7.4. This can be measured at home with pH strips.

To reset the nervous system and activate the immune system, take 30 deep breaths slowly and in a safe, comfortable place. Lightheadedness may occur so continue even slower and the sensations will pass.

Cold showers create a deeper connection to human nature and creates neurological pathways when mastered can heal the body.

Areas that are improved with the Wim Hof Method are; brain function, metabolism, inflammation and pain.

2022!

This weekend, after recovering from all the festive fun, grab something to write down 12 things you’d like to learn, experience or change about your life. One thing for each month of the year will be the practice for the entire month. So this means you have four weeks to learn, experience or change something about yourself and your life. To simplify this process, break each week into smaller doses of your chosen experience, then by the end of the month you will have fulfilled a commitment to yourself. Do the same for the rest of the months and weeks. This is your project and your rules so create the framework of your experience around your current lifestyle to ensure follow through. This will prove to be a very rewarding process. Have a happy new year!
