naïf

empty nest

sometimes everything is just as it is supposed to be but we just don´t get it

our vision of life goes not much further than our eyes can see, but life is much bigger, and yet such a speck on the universe

sometimes gray skies, but inside the tiles are kept warm and colorful

because nothing is worth our despair

everything just needs our contemplation

understanding and letting go of all fear, all doubt

and finally surrender to inner peace, where time and space meet and let our existence make some sense.

Just breath, that´s the ultimate advice.

Família – Family – Famiglia – Familie

Familia Liba-Barbosa

This lovely family is composed of 5 amazing beings:

Carla, Ricardo, Gabriel and Gustavo (and Boris, their lovely chubby cat).

They are a bold mix of beauty, strength and sweetness. I´m proud to have registered this family.

I send them my love and all my very best wishes of a great year 2010!

Christmas is love…

Natal é amor.

Junto com o meu filho, todo dia é natal…

Merry Christmas! Feliz Natal! Glaedelig Jul! Buon Natale!

How to love yourself

Happyness doesn´t depend of anyone but yourself.

Love, recognition, support, kindness, simpathy, empathy, care should come from inside.

When you feel whole you don´t need anyone else to fullfill your life – then the right person comes along… and makes it even more fun!

friendship

Life without friends is like night without stars, summer without sun, gardens without flowers, cinema without popcorn, winter without snow, christmas without presents, birthday without cake, party without music… It´s just not right.

Relationships can fail (they eventually do), but friendships are essential.

Besides, it stands a better chance of overcoming time. No expectations, just acceptance. Freedom and faithfulness.

Thank you friends for believing, helping, supporting and definetely being there when the weak and the cowards choose the easy way out.

You do know who you are… Thank you all. What about you? What does friendship mean to you?

Happy Thanksgiving

I was thinking abot the things I´ve experienced lately and I found many things I´m thankful for:

– My friends: real friends never let me down.

– My son: he´s the light in my life. Real mening for unconditional love.

– My traidors: they remind me how strong I am.

– My pathwork: the family I chose, the journey to my growth.

– My family: mom and sister, examples of love. Niece and nephews, the ones that make me smile no matter how grown they are. Cousins, aunts, uncles, brother-in-law, thanks you all. My brother my safe harbor, now in heaven. My dad, who passed away on november 29th, 2 years ago. I´m thankful for having all and each one of you in my life.

Your presences, acts, gestures, love and words or even the sweet memories of your existances give me the strength to go on and be thankful for the daily chance of happiness. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

No names are required… if you know my heart you also know how Thankful I am.
