Inspiration for the week!

"This will also pass by"

I am not a very religious person, actually I don't really have a religion, but I do believe in God... For me he is a like strong energy that leads the world as a bandmaster leads an orchestra.

I've lived many moments, met people, heard stories that you feel that something is different, as someone wants to send you a message.

And as I don't believe in coincidences, not at all, I need to tell you that last week I lived one of those magical moments, when it seems that the world stops around you just at the time you needed it the most. And somehow you feel yourself capable of seeing things in an another way, you gain power and you remember that you should never doubt somethings...

It was a direct, simple and truly "I am hearing you".

At midday I was sad and distresses. I need to make a decision, need to help someone that I love more than anything in the world... I needed a clue of what should I do, I was needing help to be able to help.

So I sat in a park and while I was talking to myself expecting someone, somewhere, to hear me, a person came by and gave me a piece of paper. He said "something made me come here to give this to you", so he left.

The paper was written "This will also pass by".

The message speaks on its on, but for me, last week, a sad girl was visited by God in the middle of the day at calm and green brazilian park...

A couple missing US...

We have been thinking a lot about the past time and that makes us homesick... But in this case home is not Brazil, home is Minnesota and Alabama... Home is US. and all the good memories of all the nicest and sweetest people we have ever met in life!

You are family,

You are friend,

You are the reason for missing US.

You are what we expect to see again...

With love, for a great weekend for those special people!

How far is heaven?

I have been looking for... I hope it is translated into the future, but if someone has any clue, information about distance, maps or at least direction, please, leave you comment!

Have a great week!

The idea of the "yes"...

Follow Through
Gavin Degraw

Oh, this is the start of something good,
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet...
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
(...)

Just Perfect...
