Personal portfolio of Caterina Muscolino

Caterina Muscolino lives in Melegnano in the province of Milan.

Born in a small village in Calabria but moved at the age of 9, she has kept the love for her land, its traditions and its roots. Apparently it seems cold, actually knowing it you discover its warmth. In her lives a nice mix of Southern and Northern Italy and considers herself a citizen of the world: German in mentality, Scandinavian in skin, Parisian at heart, Oriental in vision and Latin in soul.

Professional employee and mother, she has always loved writing which allows her to express the deepest emotions.

Since his adolescence he has written poems and rarely some short stories. On every occasion of life she loves to give words to friends and relatives: letters, cards, special greetings. He believes that the right words are the nourishment of the soul.

In 2005 she was one of the promoters of a competition for young people held in the City of Melegnano entitled "TVTB when I try something for..." and she had the opportunity to meet the poet Milo De Angelis to whom, with great emotion, she did read his writings of the time receiving valuable advice.

In 2017 the unexpected arrival of a chronic disease led her to a journey within herself that still continues today. After an initial phase of suffering and pain, not only physical, she searched alone for the path towards which to walk with the awareness that despite the whole world she could not lose her beauty and uniqueness. Readings, mindfulness, yoga, therapeutic writing were the tools she encountered along the way and allowed her to continue to look at life every day with wonder and gratitude.

To describe his current creed and his spiritual path, he uses a phrase from the monk Thich Nath Hahn: "on the altar of my hermitage there are images of Buddha and Jesus... I consider them both my spiritual ancestors".

It lives on dreams that it carefully guards and on signs that the Universe sends.

Paulo Coelho is very fond of a quote that sums up this very concept: "the whole universe conspires so that those who desire it with all of themselves can succeed in realizing their dreams".
