Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 4 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I still struggle to get up as early as I would like. Last night, I didn’t sleep well. I don’t think it was due to the cold since the bed and bedroom are warm before I go to bed. Instead, I believe it stems from anxiety. I’m feeling quite anxious […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and rainy. It is my second day working remotely in England. It is good; there have been no hiccups until now. In the morning, I got up relatively early at about 7:00 a.m. It is not a time to Rio de Janeiro standards at 4:30 or five, but I may get there shortly. As […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold and rainy. It is the first working day since arriving in England. I wanted to go for a walk in the morning, but it was raining. The truth is that it has been raining all day- not heavy rain, just a drizzle, which has been just enough to keep me from going out. I […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. My mother had said the day before that she would like to buy me a coat, an anorak, because of the cold and rain due to the English weather. The idea was to visit the Marks and Spencer store at Merry Hill shopping centre to buy one. Maryhill is situated […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 6 degrees, cold, sunny and slightly overcast. I woke up Saturday morning after a deep sleep. I’m sleeping better here in England than I did in Brazil. Unfortunately, I missed my usual wake-up time, which is, at the latest, 6:00 a.m. I’m not sure if it’s due to the time difference or simply the accumulated tiredness from […]

This picturesque town is situated between the lush Atlantic Forest and the Atlantic Ocean, providing a stunning backdrop of green peaks and azure waters. Paraty is approximately 260 kilometres south of Rio de Janeiro and 330 kilometres from São Paulo, making it accessible […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29 °C, hot, sunny, stuffy and slightly overcast. Today was supposed to be a productive day. I aimed to prepare and draft three or four posts for the blog. However, that didn’t happen. I managed to prepare one in the morning, but I either got delayed or distracted for the rest of the day. Nalva thinks […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29 °C, very hot and sunny. At the moment, Tuesdays are my busiest days for classes. They are also the days I have to go to Copacabana to give a class to Dona Vera. Usually, there isn’t time to take Perola to the park. I was doing a workout. Most days, I do a lighter session […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27 °C, hot and sunny. It is precisely 1 month until I arrive in England on the 23rd of November. This morning, while I was taking a shower, I came up with a challenging idea: to lose 5 kilos before my trip to England. I haven’t weighed below 90 kg in seven or eight years. After […]
