Leona’s Homecoming: The Love Letter Diaries, The First Year of Seasonal Festivals, 4 Novels Vol. I by Amor Milagre
In the pocket of a trusty travel bag fits a delicious novel and a sweet children’s book to savour on a train or plane, in a lamplit inn with the summer breeze kissing your robed cheeks, or swaying on a hammock in your back garden. ‘Il dolce far niente’ means the sweetness of doing nothing in Italian. Letting yourself find what you love nourishes and rejuvenates the soul. My books are for all ages and encourage authentic, kind, peaceful practices and ideas to try. I love rereading them with our family as I hope you do, too.
In this often chaotic world, I write ways to live beautifully and naturally. My characters help instead of harm. They are funny, sweet, thoughtful, and very real. I send love to anyone who must travel due to emergencies in their homeland. As I know too well, this kind of travel is not at all relaxing as a vacation would be. People leave to save their lives. They are trying to escape danger. All they had built is left behind, and they have to start over, usually with nothing. This is heartbreaking and incredibly dangerous. Precautions and safe help are urgently needed during times of war, natural disasters, and abuse. Every country must protect the rights of women and children. Re-abolish slavery for good. Replace the history of negativity with positive growth that benefits everyone. New beginnings are a chance to redesign for a better life. Although we all may miss precious things that were lost due to trauma, we can heal and rebuild a healthy future to keep all of the babies of the world safe. Peace is possible if we all choose it.
I include tragic misfortunes and terrible struggles in my books, but I paint up characters who help those in need of a positive solution to solve troubles that seem out of their control. There are too many large and small scale problems on every street and hill in the world. I write peaceful ideas in the hope that positivity will spread down those streets and over those hills to reach anyone who needs help the most. Any little bit of help can make the most important difference for one or many. I wish you a peaceful summer, and I urge everyone to do something that helps someone in the coming months. *Ask how you may help, and then listen. Work with people to solve and prevent problems. Ask if you did help, and listen again. Repeat forever.
I am working on a way for a percentage of each sale to be donated to an organization that directly aids those in need of help while searching for a safe, new home. Being forced to live a nomadic, uncertain life is cruel, dangerous, and terrifying. We all need a steady, safe home. We all can work together to help everyone have this basic need. Our world must get out of this constant survival mode and change into a deep, lasting time of healing. Equality and safety is needed worldwide.
In my gift shop, I also feature artwork and photography inspired by my travels. Nature adores us always…trailing all the way from a rose wall in Tuscany back home to a sweet rose blooming in our New England cottage garden. Help, don’t harm. Preserve nature. Enjoy your unique senses of nature.

When you feel like you’ve done too much, it’s not time to do more. Pause, Stop. Rest… Unwind with meditation to remember how to truly rest all of you. Here are 10 helpful tips for calm meditation for all ages. Take gentle care of you. xoxo ~Amor Milagre
Eat fresh plant foods and hydrate. Stretch slowly to circulate any trapped chemicals in your body. Drink water to improve the flow.
Routines that build energy help you. Matching low energy with unhealthy foods and negative habits harms you. What is helpful? What grows positive habits? What gives you energy?
Breathe fresh air. See the leaves and seasons change. Harmonize with Nature’s rhythms.
A calm space where you feel safe and are able to sit or lay still and quietly is helpful to unwind into meditation. With practice, you can meditate in any place.
Open and unwind. If you’re unsure how to begin, try resting quietly, without added layers of sound. If you have trouble with this, a guided meditation can help you build a meditation routine into your memory to use any time you need to let go and refocus. Use something as low-tech as possible. You can even write your own guide and read aloud before beginning. Natural sounds are helpful for connecting to Nature, so open a window or visit a garden. A comfortable position, balanced for your spine and posture, and able to breathe in your best way, is helpful for grounding down into the Earth. If you can, go outside, remove shoes, and ground your energy down, energizing from the Earth’s core.
Keep a small and large perspective for a balance of calm reflection and revitalization.
A healthy skincare and Self care routine helps before meditation so you feel settled and fresh, ready to explore knowing your Higher and Inner Self. Unplug electronics for a quiet space. Low lighting is soothing. A soft eye mask or a cloth over your eyes can help block light, and with lavender or other favourite scented plants, you can ease into feeling your senses and awareness more naturally.
An hour to let go, explore, and open helps you to not rush or dwell too long. Release any pressure for specific goals or expectations. What will come will surface. Listen with your heart, open.
Maintaining a healthy meditation routine helps you to keep your energy, so you don’t dip too low, lacking energy. Humans’ ways and routines are often energy zappers for others, so be mindful to create your own unique routines for your unique needs.
You can heal your Self with breathing, processing, and letting go. Trust your Self to take care of you, and you can take care of your whole Self, your Soul, and the Universe.

Whether you’re a parent or a child at heart, remembering your favourite childhood memories is beneficial for a happy, healthy lifestyle at any age. How did it feel to fly down the street on your bicycle, wind on your face, and freedom in your heart? Here are just 10 things I’ve Loved since childhood. No matter what else was going on, Nature was my reverie for funny ideas and soothing rhythms. Speaking to your Inner Self and Inner Child helps you have fun every day. This practice also helps you to teach your children how to have good, simple fun, anywhere at any time. What do you like to do in your imagination of the senses? Happy Spring!
Swinging with my curly hair down in the breeze.
Walking up a hill, climbing a tree, and watching the sunset’s beautiful colours each night.
Carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating on Halloween.
Swimming in the ocean in light rain.
Drawing pictures of anything.
Running barefoot in the grass when it’s lightly raining in the summer.
Making up stories and silly games outside in Nature with a friend from down the street.
Dancing with the fireflies in the magical summer evenings.
Designing my ideal town of kindness with chalk on the driveway, and then wheeling around on the tiny roads.
Eating watermelon and tomatoes in the garden.
Of course there are some more, but these were sitting in my eyes. Everything I Loved then, still lives in my mind now, so it’s easy to have innocent, real fun because I’ve been practicing it since then. Remember, there is no age that you can reach that says you’re not allowed to laugh and play. So laugh, so play, have a lovely time today! XOXO ~Amor Milagre
