Dear Paulo,

this is the first time I will participate in your blog. “our blog”.

** You are not what you seem to be in moments of sadness. You're better than that .**

I like the idea, it is real. Moments of sadness are usually times of depression, weakness, and losing faith. however we are more better than this. we are the courage, hope and the force itself. being sociale, forgiveness, overcoming the sadness and our failures and start again.

I try to give my light thouse need more than me but this is also difficult but all we ‘ll win ,doesn’t it? I think it’s not an illusion it’s the true we want ,alltogether , bye bye ..

Gee, so true..! *is looking awestruck*
Because sadness is a product of the mind and the negative impulses of the outside… misinterpreted signs and emotions of the worlds and of the moments… The Heart is who you truly are, and the Heart is love! When you are happiest, you are very close to who you truly are, and in those moments we can say that we… our living OUR lives..

Como o poder das suas palavras pode influenciar tantas vidas? Hoje pela primeira vez,tenho a oportunidade em dizer o quanto estou agradecida a cada livro que ganhei seu.Tenho uma vida muito difícil,mais não me deixo desanimar,pois a minha vida não é só feita de tristezas,tenho momentos muito bons sim.Um dos momentos inesquecíveis é ver meus filhos folhearem seus livros para procurar a inspiração que tanto falo. Obrigada não só por essa frase,mais por você existir neste mundo.

It is hard enough for me to find myself in a world where everyone wants me to be a certain way. Thank you for letting me know that in my sad times, it means very little of who I am. God bless.

Wild winds strengthen the roots, trunks and branches of trees. So don’t cry because of leaves fallen on the ground, be patient and wait for the spring ;-)
