Hello everyone,

Thank you for visiting my blog. My goal is to share with you some of my "adventures & experiences" that life has so far blessed me with. Some days were not so bright as others, but I've learned to be grateful for every single minute, every hour, every day I am able to open my eyes and smell the coffee.

Speaking of gratitude.

It is a joyful and selfless expression of thankfulness from within. Whenever you are in a state of gratitude and appreciation you are in a state of natural abundance. Through appreciation and gratitude you are focusing your thoughts and energy on the beauty and abundance that is already present in your life. It is through daily appreciation and gratitude that I've been able see more more of the beauty of life and the lessons that it has for us. Through the process of gratitude you are sending a clear message to the universe that this is what you would like to experience more of. There is no greater prayer than one of sincere heartfelt love, appreciation, and gratitude.

A NEW WORLD.

This is a good place to start sharing some of my adventures, since it marked a new beginning. It was a long twelve hours flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil to California (Jun/8Th/1988), and soon I would be crossing the gates of this new world. Like a fish out of the water, I steeped into the new world, and looked around with indescribable amazement. It was too much to absorb, and for a moment it felt as if I was dreaming. The sound of people speaking in strange and incomprehensible language, quickly brought me back to reality, and I asked myself: "Now what young man?".

The answer came in this form: " If you are to become who you wish to be, you must demand silence in your own mind". The noise in my mind was fear, uncertainty and guilty. After much struggle, I was able to demand silence in my mind and reclaim the faith and strength I once had.
