Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 24 degrees, hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. It’s Friday, and I’m tired, but it’s a big day for me because I have a doctor’s appointment at 7:00 p.m. Well, I believe it’s a doctor’s appointment; it’s at the GP health clinic where I recently registered myself. It could be a nurse or a doctor; I […]
Wednesday, the 8th of May 2024: “Resilience and Struggle In Contemporary Brazil”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 22 degrees, hot, sunny and with blue skies. My usual early morning routine includes exercise, writing a blog post, and journaling, then I begin classes at 11 a.m., with additional classes today until only 5:00 p.m. It’s an easy day for me, which is both good and bad. Good because I can finish early and do other […]
Tuesday, the 7th of May 2024: “Embracing: Routine, Reflection and growth”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. Today is the day after yesterday’s bank holiday, Labour Day.

Monday, the 6th of May 2024: “Discovering Unexpectedly Hidden Beauty”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 19 degrees, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. It is a bank holiday in England, Labour Day. It was last Wednesday in Brazil, but any bank holiday in the middle of the week in England is moved to the following Monday. So, for me, it is a little complicated to juggle the same bank holiday on different days. […]

Today was no different; I exercised alone, worked upstairs in my bedroom, and basically just relaxed. My mother was pottering about upstairs, coming […]
