Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 23 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast It is the middle of the week, the middle of the month and the middle of the year, and I feel I am at a turning point in my life. Obviously, I know what has passed, where I am, but more importantly, where and what I want in […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 23 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast Half the month has passed, and I have already been in Rio for more than a month. I arrived on the 7th of June, Yasmin’s birthday, and it is already past the middle of July. Time literally flies. Sometimes we think it is slow, but really it is […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 22 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast At the moment, I am loving Mondays for a few reasons. Principally, because I do not have an early class, I have the first part of the morning to myself to exercise without rushing, usually a walk, skipping, TRX straps and elastic, besides the usual aerobic exercises. It […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 25 degrees, hot, sunny and with blue skies. It is Sunday, and I always like to say that Sunday morning is reserved solely for me. Nobody knows my name. It is not Dad, Richard, love, etc. Nobody can call me or ask me to do anything. It is my time, and it is good. It […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 25 degrees, hot, sunny and stormy at the end of the day. It has been 2 days since I went no contact with Julie. I feel guilty, but I also think it had to be done. I am not proud of it, but I felt I needed a break, and the constant sense of being […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 22 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. I am still a little shocked by what happened yesterday between Julie and me, and to make matters worse, I went no-contact with her. I could not take any more of the stress, the lack of peace and respect, and the feeling of being both manipulated and taken […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 23 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. A Monday of difference, two major decisions, and upsets in my life. One is both good and bad, and the other is very good. Firstly, I finished with Julie. We had been talking since last Thursday, and although it was OK, it wasn’t the same since I have […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 24 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Today has been a delightful day spent at the Rio Yacht Club with my daughter, Yasmin, and friends. Early in the morning, both Yasmin and I got up and went out to exercise. Before going to the park, we stopped by the Portuguese bakers for breakfast. We both […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 28 degrees, hot, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Friday again, one more day in my life. It is good because it shows that I’m still alive and still fighting for what I want. Yesterday I had an online meeting with Alex, the web designer and programmer, so from now on he should be putting […]
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 19 degrees, warm, overcast and with rain. It is the end of June, the last day of the month, and the first half of this year is over. Tomorrow, 1 July, will be the first day of the second half of the year. Has the first half of the year been good for me? On […]
