…And Who You Will Meet
Years ago, when I had my two toddlers in the bath, I received a call from a Florence-based Australian photographer looking for a writer. The call came completely out of the blue. The girl's name was Carla Coulson and once we started chatting I simply couldn't hang up. Her energy, love of life, love of Italy, beautiful images, her drive and yes, ambition, glued my phone to my ear. As the kid's bath water grew cold and their skin goosebumpy I wrapped them in towels, popped them into their pyjamas - all with my phone awkwardly crammed between my shoulder and ear. I loved this girl on the end of the line! Yes! I would totally meet up with her to talk about working together.
That phone call led to a lifelong friendship and collaboration between Carla and me. It was one of those moments, one of those calls, that you remember with great clarity because it was such a beautiful connection.
Carla's life has been an inspiration to me. She is a woman of enormous integrity and creative drive. But more than anything, she shares everything she has learnt throughout her creative journey.
Here follows some words from Carla on how writing has changed her life.
