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.

The other side

Today in Brazil we celebrate the day of the dead… Time to remember the loved ones that left us earlier than we wish they did. Time of longing. I miss my dad and my brother. They crossed over to the other side and they are missed every day since. They are pure positive energy now and I´m sure they are well. It´s this side of the bridge that is less perfect… But we go on and try to make it lighter, colorful. Who do you miss?

How can something that gives such pleasure and joy be called “work”? I´m so blessed!

LITTLE GIRL BLUE

This painting was inspired on this beautiful Janis Joplin´s song…

“Little Girl Blue”

Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.
What else, what else is there to do ?
Oh and I know how you feel,
I know you feel that you’re through.
Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm, count,
Ah, count your little fingers,
My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah.

Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops
Oh, feel ’em falling down, oh honey all around you.
Honey don’t you know it’s time,
I feel it’s time,
Somebody told you ‘cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It’s gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they’re falling down, honey, all around you.
Oh, I know you’re unhappy.

Oh sit there, ah go on, go on
And count your fingers.
I don’t know what else, what else
Honey have you got to do.
And I know how you feel,
And I know you ain’t got no reason to go on
And I know you feel that you must be through.
Oh honey, go on and sit right back down,
I want you to count, oh count your fingers,
Ah my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue.
I know you’re unhappy,
Ooh ah, honey I know,
Baby I know just how you feel.

YES I DO…

WHO CARES?

There is this overwheming feeling of having to be able to do everything, you know? You must be strong, take care of the family, the food, the cleaning, the house, the world… Sometimes it just feels like escaping it all. Travelling endlessly into an imaginary fun world where only me, my son, my colors and all the nice people exist. Shutting my eyes to living and giving myself away to painting. Sometimes, reality feels like the real escape from being happy. So be it. Who cares?

Have you ever felt like…

people don´t give enough credit for your efforts?

someone is always taking your love forgranted?

whatever you do to please other people, it is never enough?

Well, maybe it´s about time for an attitude change… Self-love NOW! The only real change in life starts within.
