Laura Vitale Instagram – 25 years ago on this very day, late afternoon to be exact, I arrived in America, and as they say, the rest is History. Moving as a fresh 12 year old (almost a month to the day after I turned 12) to another country where you don’t know anything and barely anyone is no small task. But if you know me in real life you know I’m tough, very tough, very determined and have no patience for excuses. The road wasn’t easy, it was like the backroads of Naples, bumpy and full of potholes holes but if the last 25 years have taught me anything is that life is what you make it, your mindset will make or break you. I’ve worked hard for what seems like my whole life, wasn’t always easy but the end was worth it. I know, deeply in my heart of hearts that I was meant to go through all of that, to lead me here, with a strong backbone and even stronger mindset. It’s those tough years that allow me to be so appreciative of my life, love what’s in my 4 walls so deeply and remind myself every day that sacrifices lead to beautiful destinations. ❤️
