Brazil, Life and Perserverence!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Thursday and nearing another weekend. I will have to go to Copacabana today and give a class to Dona Vera. I do not really want to, but I have to, and this is one of the responsibilities of an adult: to do things we do not want to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warm and Sunny and slightly overcast. It is the middle of the week, and it is just Yasmin and me. Nalva is travelling for work in Sao Paulo, and until now, nobody has died. Two are a company, but three are a crowd. It seems to be something like that, and probably, in some ways, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warm, overcast, rainy and stormy. After a perfect Friday and Saturday, it would be asking too much for Sunday to be as good as the last two days, but it was all right. It was more of a simpler, easy-going day than one of wining and dining. I was up at 6 pm and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warmish and sunny. As I mentioned, I typically arrive on Fridays, I prefer not to have such a packed schedule. I need time to relax and turn off after a long week of classes. Sometimes, I have to give a class to Marcelo, a top bankruptcy lawyer on a Friday evening, but luckily, I gave […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish and sunny. It is Thursday, and as usual, I have a lot of classes today: twelve classes from 7 am to 7 pm, including one class with Dona Vera in Copacabana. So, I am up early and taking a long walk in the cold of the Carioca winter, only 16oC in the early morning. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. It is already Wednesday; half the week has already passed, and that is a good sign. Like anything else in life, if it is going slowly, there is something wrong. When it is fast, things are usually going the right way without too much stress. The classes are going well, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. This morning, I walked about 7 km but did not exercise. I am still feeling some effects of the cold, and returning to normal is a little tricky because I had broke my routine. However, it is essential not to stop completely. Even walking without any exercise is better than […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Monday is the beginning of the working week, the new month, and the year’s second half. Now, it is less thinking, more doing, and the need for much distraction control. If we allow it, life will easily drag or entice us away from our goals and dreams. We need to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Sunday, and I do not want to do much today. I need time for myself and to think about everything happening in my life. It is the second day of the new semester, and this semester, I want to focus on the changes I have already made. I […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and overcast. Thank God it is Friday, even though it has been a good week. I resolved my Brazilian ID and will receive my new glasses tomorrow. I am tired and have not spent enough time developing the sites. At least I have decided my priorities for the next six months: my teeth, the […]
