Brazilian Heart
May 2011
Since 1998

The fragrance and the feel of the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean reinvigorates me. The sensation that I experience is imprinted on the memory of my cells and it definitely gives me a sense of new life and energy! Here's one the mandalas I created to celebrate Life! : )

BOOK
“The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas”
Woody Allen said: “The book was charming and interesting. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe  that he (Brazilian author Machado de Assis) had lived such a long time ago. One would think that he had written it yesterday. It’s so modern and interesting.” http://www.amazon.com/Posthumous-Memoirs-Cubas-Library-America/dp/0195101707

Can you read in Portuguese? This is a must if you like History and Brasil. “1808” by Laurentino Gomes.

FOR YOU
“Há duas formas para viver a sua vida:
Uma é acreditar que não existe milagre.
A outra é acreditar que todas as coisas são um milagre.”

There are two ways to live your life:
One is to believe that there is no miracle.
The other is to believe that everything is a miracle.”
Fernando Pessoa

Peace,
Katia : )
