Hai mai notato quanto le tue emozioni influenzino come vivi ogni singola giornata? La vita di oggi, con la velocità delle informazioni che cambiano continuamente e il carico emotivo sempre più pesante, è diventata una gara a chi si sente meglio. L'ansia e lo stress sono una delle principali cause della nostra insoddisfazione.

Hier zeigt man ihnen zwar die Schafhaltung, nicht aber die eigentliche Wollfabrik, denn die Herstellungsverfahren seien schließlich streng geheim.

Il cuore di un uomo può battere per molte donne, ma solo una lo può catturare. David l’avrebbe riconosciuta tra mille. Nonostante fossero passati anni, avrebbe riconosciuto il suo viso, il suo profumo, ovunque. Francesca era per lui come un quadro di Botticelli. Lineamenti angelici e una bellezza vera, intrinseca e non artefatta. E poi quel suo sguardo innocente, quella purezza dell’anima, vivace e indomita, che non aveva eguali.
