Is time money?

People say time is money. I can't compare both. If that was true I'd have spent some money to get extra time in the exchange store. Time is what I've been missing most and I guess I'm not alone.

Time to hang out with friends. To have fun. To enjoy the sunset. To relax. To work for pleasure. Time to write. Time to read. Time to pray. Enough time to be tired to have time. This is what I wish to myself and to everyone on Christmas' day.

Tomorrow I am going to the countryside where my parents were born. I haven't seen my relatives for 2 years. I am all excited! It's a tiny place, in the middle of nowhere... A place where the time goes slow... :)

Merry X-mas!

As pessoas dizem que tempo é dinheiro. Eu não posso comparar os dois. Se isso fosse verdade eu teria gasto algum dinheiro para comprar tempo na loja de câmbio. Tempo é o que mais tenho sentido falta e acredito que não esteja sozinha.

Tempo para se reunir com amigos. Para se divertir. Para curtir o pôr do sol. Para relaxar. Para trabalhar por prazer. Tempo para escrever. Tempo para ler. Tempo para orar. Tempo suficiente para se cansar de ter tempo. Isso é o que desejo para mim mesma e para todos no dia de Natal.

Amanhã vou para o interior onde meus pais nasceram. Não tenho visto meus familiares há 2 anos. Estou toda empolgada! É um lugar minúsculo, no meio do nada... Um lugar onde o tempo anda devagar... :)

Feliz Natal!

Changing your perspective

A few weeks ago there was this huge blackout in Brazil, caused by a technical problem in Itaipu dam, the second-largest hydroelectric power producer in the world ( Yahoo news here ). It was very weird and a bit scary to realize how dependent we are on eletricity. For hours there was no TV, no radio, no computer. Some cellphones weren't working and despite my notebook being ok, it seemed useless without internet. I was at home when it happened and I prayed for those people who were out of their homes at that time. I imagine how many of them were in the subway, in the elevator, at the office, alone on the street. I remembered people in hospital and all kinds of situation in which people are highly dependant on electricity. I took that time to think and I realized we should be always ready to live with little, even though the media keeps saying we need more and more, in this endless consumption world. I remember the day after the blackout some people would complain about missing a

My testimony

I can't forget their faces... Their way to look at me as if we had met before. Their request for my lap as if I were their mom. I can't forget their laughs... Their smiles as if their lives were only happiness. Their hugs as if we could stay like this forever. I can't forget that moment... With so much love for a stranger. A tough moment to say goodbye. These words represent exactly what I felt yesterday, when visiting (for the first time) an orphanage. I thank God for this opportunity, showing me life just the way it is (or it should be). When I left, all I could remember was a big lesson - of happiness , hope and true love .

What's the difference of being different?

Yesterday I felt like Shrek... not belonging to the world. I felt like a stranger and that made me feel really sad. But you know what? Today I see a positive side of it. I mean... what is the point of being like everyone? Being different doesn't mean, in the first place, being wrong. Being different means being yourself. How many brilliant and talented people have contributed to the world? Weren't they different? That's why they could make the difference. From this point of view, I kinda like the idea of being different. In fact, I love that! Check out what people think about being different... "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." (Coco Chanel) "Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." (Cecil Beaton) "Share our similarities, celebrate our differences." (M. Sco
