Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, warm, sunny, and stormy at the end of the day. It is Wednesday, the middle of the week, and I am waking up with a woman beside me. A beautiful woman is lying next to me in my bed, and all I want to do is do the things I like to do every morning. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. I got laid again!!! Up at 4 am, a series of exercises at home and out in the street by 5. A heavy workout at the end of Leme until about half past six. Home again for seven, a shower and a change of clothes, and a green tea to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, sunny, and slightly overcast. The first day of the week is a simple morning workout as I have an early class. When you have a good weekend, the week begins well. There is no remorse at the beginning of the week; let it come. The good vibes from the last weekend overflow into the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Part 2: What I did on my birthday: there were some ups and downs, which is life itself; we never know about tomorrow. Even though it was my birthday, I was up early and out to exercise at 5 am. It was a little chilly, but as the day progressed, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It is my birthday, and there had been many expectations from the last two. My birthday last year represented another big change in my life. In spiritualism, significant life changes usually occur at a multiple of seven years in your life, such as 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, etc. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, sunny and slightly overcast. Thursday, the day of action and in two days, my birthday!!! I am up at 4 am and in the street by 5, exercising until seven and giving classes at 8. Classes the whole morning until 3 pm, then after a shower and a change of clothes, I caught the bus […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, cloudy and rainy. Three days to my birthday, a little self-doubt and despair continue. Now I have all of R$30 Reais to my name, which is U$6 Dollars or about £5 Pounds, to eat or buy something for me or the flat. There was no exercise out in the street today as I had an […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, a little hot, sunny and slightly cloudy. Tuesday, four days before my birthday, and I am still broke. I have R50 Reais to my name, basically U$10 US dollars or £8 pounds. This is an internal battle that I am facing at the moment, well, for a long time, to be exact. Approaching 57 and […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, a little hot, sunny and slightly cloudy. Beginning the week broke, but well!!! No time to go out and exercise in the morning, but a short session at home is good enough. We live in a world of two extremes, where it is or it is not, where there seems to be no shades of […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, a little hot, Sunny and slightly cloudy. This Sunday morning is a little chilly, with overcast clouds threatening for it to rain. As I am broke at the moment, there is not a lot I can do. Working out at the end of Leme is cheap. A coffee at the local baker’s is cheap. Going […]
