Wordsley, Stourbridge: 7 degrees, very rainy, cold and wet. I had tried to get up early, but it was impossible. It was raining outside, so I couldn’t really go for a walk. Instead, after the delay of getting out of bed, I went downstairs, made myself a cup of tea, and exercised in the back living room. Now I have […]
Monday the 1st of January 2024: “Starting the New Year with Hope and Purpose”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge: 9 degrees, cold but sunny with clear skies in the morning. Wishing everybody a sincere, happy, and prosperous new year!!! Coming into the new year has been pleasant and straightforward with my mother—the first time in a long, long time. Being accustomed to the chaos of Rio de Janeiro at Réveillon-New Year, having a quiet New Year without […]
Sunday the 31st of December 2023: “Reflections and New Beginning on New Year’s Eve”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, rainy, grey and shitty. It is New Year’s Eve, and I am reflecting inwardly after my disastrous visit to my brothers in the north of England. I’m grateful to Stephen for hosting me and showing me around, but the rest of the experience was disastrous. Perhaps I was naive or foolish, or during all these […]
Monday the 25th of December 2023: “Christmas Day in England”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, rainy and dreary. My mother and I had prepared the leg of lamb on Christmas Eve. Essentially, it involved taking it out of its plastic, cleaning and drying it, covering it with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil, and making slits in the meat to insert small slices of garlic. We also placed […]
Thursday the 21st of December 2023: “An End of Year Reflection”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, warmish and very windy. Today was a quiet day. I woke up early, followed by a hard workout in the living room. I had just two classes during the day, and the rest of the time was spent feeding the ducks and swans, taking a walk and doing little else. I have no more classes […]
Monday the 18th of December 2023: “Contemplating Future Possibilities for the New Year”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, grey and rainy. It is one week before Christmas, and I am beginning to wind down. The truth is that classes have been slower than usual since the beginning of December, but now they are even slower, and I am uncertain whether I like it or not. My lazy side likes it, but my […]
Sunday the 17th of December 2023: “Reflections on a Cold Sunday”!!!
It is cold; the day feels like night due to the darkness, and it seems to be trying to rain. Although it is not raining yet, it is attempting to. I was going to walk along the cut- the canal until I reached a place where I used to work for a man when I was 10 or 11 years […]
Saturday the 9th of December 2023: “Memory Park and Manifestation”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 13 degrees, cold, cloudy and slightly rainy. My mother had an end-of-year event at her spiritualist church, which she frequents. My mother is a medium. She studied and trained for many years and has lectured in different countries, not just in England, about spiritualism, clairvoyance, and mediumship for over twenty years. She’s doing less now because she […]
Tuesday the 5th of December 2023: “Generosity and Resilience”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, overcast and rainy. I went to bed worrying about money and woke up without any problems. The morning was very foggy and extremely cold; I could feel it in my bones. I had a short walk to the canal to feed the ducks and swans. When I rattle my plastic container with their food, […]
Friday the 1st of December 2023: “Reminiscing on Past Relationships”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 1 degrees, cold, sunny, overcast and rainy. I’m trying to get up early here, like in Brazil, but it isn’t easy. At least the last two days, I have slept well. Instead of going out for an early walk and not wanting to get confused by class times clashing with the time differences between England and Brazil, […]
