Each person’s individual life is so interesting and poetic as
events unfold in their natural order. I
literally just wrote an email to Giada De Laurentiis the other day to inform
her that Tony Munafo, a good friend and business associate of her aunt Raffaella (“Raffi”) De
Laurentiis, had just passed away. When I
worked for attorney Jake Bloom on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills a small
percentage of my workload was administering legal affairs for Arnold
Schwarzenneger with his nephew Patrick Knapp.
The majority of my work was administering legal affairs for Sylvester
Stallone. I got to travel to Italy at
the time for the filming of a movie starring Sylvester Stallone at Cinecitta Movie Studio. Giada’s aunt Raffi
was the executive producer of the film and I remember laughing and hanging out
with her on the set like it was just yesterday.
Little did I know when I was emailing Giada that she was experiencing
her own serious life event. It is only
today that I learned that Giada is getting a divorce from her husband of
eleven years Todd Thompson.
Giada is the host of her own show Giada At Home on the Food
Network. She is a major Food Network
star. Viewers of the show all over the
globe have been captivated by how adorable she is and her seemingly perfect life
as she cooks for her family and friends at her beach front home in Malibu,
California.
Don’t we all want the storybook life? Don’t we all want to believe in the fantasy? The reality is that change is
inevitable. Marriages fail because love,
if it really existed in the first place, changes. And people
change. Some people are willing to accept that while others throw in
the towel on the quest for self discovery.
As you travel through the journey of life, be accepting of where your
life is each day and savor the beautiful moments for they will not last. Life is fleeting. Appreciate each day for with every tomorrow
will come change.
