Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27 °C, hot and overcast. I was up early yesterday and again today, at 5:30 a.m. on a Sunday. I am arriving at the end of Leme for a workout, and I am astonished! What I forgot to mention yesterday was that there was an enormous temporary stage for Carnival, with speakers, steel partitions/railings, diesel generators, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29 °C, hot, sunny, and a little unstable. IT IS THE JOURNEY, NOT THE DESTINATION!!! The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes the destination changes, but the journey remains the same. It is what we have. Without it, we have nothing. When we overly focus on reaching the destination, we overlook the journey, where […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30 °C, hot, sunny and a little unstable. It is Friday, marking the end of the workweek for some people. I usually have fewer classes today, but completing them can be more challenging. Even though I will finish earlier than usual, the day and classes often seem to drag on. It is a psychosomatic response to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30 °C, hot, sunny and unstable. It’s Wednesday morning, and I have a 7 a.m. class, so I am doing a home workout that includes push-ups. Before class, I have to drop Yasmin off at the Metro station for school. I live in Brazil, and my mother lives in England. As I recently changed my phone […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 32 °C, very hot and sunny. The morning was typical, with exercise and classes. In the afternoon, I had to pick up some money from a student and pay Dona Vera at Belli Occhi Otica, an optician’s where I have been buying glasses for years. The shop is in the same gallery where I used to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 33 °C, very hot and sunny. Yasmin is with me, and I am worried about her and money. The truth is that I’m concerned about everything at the moment. I know it is just the moment, but I’m freezing about taking the next step. It is not just for me but for Yasmin, too. Taking the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29 °C, hot and sunny. Although I enjoy journaling and writing in my diary, I’m starting to fall behind and write less frequently than I would like. I need to organise my time better and prioritise my writing to avoid falling further behind. It’s a matter of responsibility and discipline, and I must make it a […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 32 degrees, hot and sunny. I couldn’t follow my morning exercise routine today, but it wasn’t a wasted day. It turned out to be quite productive. I spent my time giving many classes and immersing myself in online studies, eager to complete as many courses as possible in the first part of this year. My plan […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30 °C, hot, sunny and unstable. I will be migrating from Oi to TIM, and the reasons for this transition go beyond phone service. As many of you might know, Oi has been facing severe financial difficulties. In light of this, TIM has acquired my account, and the implications are personal. As a result, I will […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30 °C, hot, sunny and a little unstable. Today has been a great day filled with many activities and moments of reflection. I dedicated this day to taking care of my home and tackling various tasks that needed my attention. I started my day by fixing a problematic toilet and doing some DIY repairs. After that, […]
