A história continua...
A emoção nao acabou. Talvez tenha esfriado.
Não a deixe acabar. Não deixe de fazer a vida brilhar com seu modo
mais simples de ser feliz. Não deixe de reconhecer o que há de bom
e de perceber o que ainda há para ser vivido.
Deixe ser o seu ser. Deixe ser o que mais precisa ser na sua trajetoria.
Que os dias que estão por vir, sejam dias não necessariamente melhores, porém de motivos de reconhecimento e aprendizado. Que as lagrimas derramadas lavem a alma e proporcionem alivio. Que as gargalhadas sejam longas e prazerosas, e que as palavras sejam sinceras e significativas. Não resuma sua vida. Viva-a por inteiro!

“Believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.” 

- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

There is an invisible force that we may not realize, we may not understand.
The emotion not judged, not torn, the freedom of being;
The expression of who we are, every moment, without guilt, without fear, without competition. Just be ... That's the beauty of the soul.
We encounter challenges, uncomfortable situations, perhaps incomprehensible injustice; disappointments, doubts, pain, loss, falls...
But we also encounter understanding, kindness, some certainties, irreplaceable people, profound lessons, unforgettable passions; Achievements that give us strength, losses that allow us to find ourselves.
In each experiment, in every gesture, in every word, we show who we are. We express our individuality, not finished, not completed...
The "me" that may wish to be polished, explored, expressed in many other ways, endless ways.

*************************************************************************
Há uma força invisível que talvez não percebemos, não entendemos. A emoção não julgada, não dilacerada, a liberdade do ser;
A expressão do que somos, a cada momento, sem culpa, sem medo, sem competição. Simplesmente ser... Essa é a beleza da alma. Encontramos desafios, situações desconfortáveis, injustiças talvez incompreensíveis;
desapontamentos, dúvidas, dor, perdas, quedas...
Mas também encontramos compreensão, gentileza, algumas certezas, pessoas insubstituíveis, aprendizado, paixões inesquecíveis;
realizações que nos dão força, perdas que nos permitem nos encontrar.
Em cada experiencia, em cada gesto, em cada palavra, mostramos quem somos. Expressamos o eu individualista, não acabado, não completo...
Um “eu” a ser lapidado, explorado, expressado de muitas outras formas; infinitas formas.

Dare to be an expression of your soul.
What do you find meaningful in your life?
What meaning are you giving to your experiences?
Time goes by, we pounder, we assess, we doubt, we trust.
​Our heart speaks to us, even when we don't want to listen.

Sometimes I picture the world as if I was watching it from outer space, having a bird’s eye view.
It gives me a more compassionate – and inspiring- perspective of human beings and their behaviors.
Each person living his/her own life – getting up, working, eating, driving, running, writing, crying, laughing, dreaming, singing, playing an instrument, making love,  giving a hug, longing for belonging, longing for a change, making a change, making a difference, making a choice…
I then observe how people connect, in person, online, mentally or spiritually… and I find it so amazing and orchestrated, as if it was meant to be, for a reason, for a purpose…
What we do, what we think, what we say can make a positive impact in our lives and even the life of others; Or it can also be disempowering.
Every new day can be the beginning of something new that we choose to do, but having a choice isn't really freedom, making one is…

Deep Gratitude is one of the most life-giving feelings a human being can experience.
It allows us to stop for a moment and truly appreciate the people in our lives and the contributions they make (or had made) to our journey.
Gratitude allows us to perceive the precious that might go unnoticeable, to connect us to our inner selves, and foster inner peace.
What are you grateful for today? Acknowledge it.
And if you don't want to keep it to yourself, share it with someone you love.
- Renata

"What you will do matters. All you need is to do it." - John Keats

Don't give up because it's hard.
Is it your passion? Is it what you love to do? Is it what makes you feel alive and connected with yourself (and others)?
Then keep doing it! We can serve others when we are at our best, and we are at our best when we allow ourselves to fully, simply be all that we are meant to be.
- Renata

A Simple Plan to Reconnect with Your Authentic Self

• Still your body and mind. Commit to just five minutes of meditation and build your practice from there.
• Maintain focused attention on your breathing and honor the task at hand.
• Witness your reactions to get to the core reasons behind your emotional response.
• Take time daily to write down (or simply remember) little moments of gratitude, love, and awe that happened throughout your day.
• Remind yourself that you have nowhere else to be other than where you are right now.
