Born and raised in Florence during periods of political instability and fragmentation, Dante Alighieri, a devoted White Guelph and poet, became very familiar with the conflicts rising between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines––and between the Blacks and Whites.

Living a life to meet these standards in itself is, well let’s just say, difficult. Saint Zita of Lucca is one person who has achieved this amazing acknowledgement. Throughout our lives, the struggle to be close to God is always present and persistent. A very small percentage complete this journey and Saint Zita is that exception. Her early life was

He came into this world right as summer was starting. Family has always been one of my very top priorities. Especially what he is to me in the family. Lucca is literally the cutest baby anyone will ever meet. He can bring a smile to your face in half a second. His huge, round cheeks make me want to squeeze them so much.

for employment (Henry & Lucca, 2004). Individuals with mental illness face stigma from multiple sources surrounding employment such as care givers, employers, and coworkers. Mental illness care givers are often contributors to stigma surrounding mental illness, and can cause low self-esteem in those they care for.
