There is just something about looking at pictures of Tuscany that makes your heart long to slow down and feel the tuscan sun on your face? Is that just me or are you dreaming of walking through a village in Italy too??
Angela Correll is the author of Village Life: Discover Tuscan Inspired Hospitality and Intentional Living which released YESTERDAY!!. She is also author of Restored in Tuscany, released March 2024, along with Grounded, Guarded and Granted, a trilogy of novels that became Amazon bestsellers and have been adapted to the stage for sold-out audiences at the Pioneer Playhouse, Kentucky’s oldest outdoor theater. Grounded has been adapted for film and releases in September of 2025 on Great American Family network and Great American Pureflix.
In the conversation we talk a lot about lingering and I have to say, it's something that we can all learn to incorporate into our daily lives. Can I be so bold to say... we NEED to incorporate. Life is so busy, something is always pulling for our attention the problem is, we don't know what slowing down even looks like. That's where taking some time and studying the habits of a slower paced life, like in this stunning book, helps us make the shift from missing out on small moments to being present and soaking it all in.
Key Takeaways:
- When we linger we leave room to experience the presence of God
- Lingering in a conversation allows for more depth and connection, lingering in rest is where God speaks to us and restores our soul
- In Italy, a meal is “the thing” they are doing, not just something to get out of the way before doing “the thing”, this mindset shift helps usher in peace
- Create space in your life where you can linger with the Lord
