Paulo: This is so neat, to be able to comment on your blog of today. Is today a special day, April 24? It's special, to be the second to pose an entry!!
I think it's so important to travel to see other places and find out about other people. If you can't, then there are books, thank God!, that can take you to other places and to read others' thoughts, and experience what they have seen or know.
You are the second Brazilian reader that I have read. The other is the incomparable Jorge Amado, who I find was a great romantic. Does anyone write like that anymore? Your styles are so different, but you are now the great Brazilian realist. Am I wrong?

Dear Thelma, thank you so much, you very very kind. Is true, is really stubborn, but very linked to the family. Wish you a wonderful time. Take care, Love

My theory on caring (my blog post on October 19, 2007 – 4:16am)
“When I witness the few times when people care, I feel hope. Like the other day, a co-worker I hardly know, voluntarily picks up packets of sugar with me after I spilled hundreds of them on the floor…or maybe the time my parents’ neighbour, Brad along with his dog Niko, stops to chat with me on the street about random things. Usually, I encounter co-workers who are too busy complaining about how their life “sucks” or worse, I get unwelcome stares or none at all from strangers I say “Hi” to on the street. It seems like people in our society have turned a blind eye to their neighbours and made our world an impersonal one.
For me, caring was always something I wanted to do…not because something great came out of it in the end. It’s because I feel like there isn’t enough in this world and people who don’t care – deserve to be cared for the most. I’ve always been lucky to be loved so much by family and friends that the act of caring is kind of like an outcome. It’s like a feeling of so much love that you have enough to give. Maybe that’s what the world is missing… ”
love, Maia

My lovely sister works at MNG. So when I arrived at work today there was a bag with the T-shirt, “We are all master of our own destinies.”
Keep it real all you lovely ones out there!!

Dear Alexandra, Happy Birthday to your father! A good father, Taurus! My loving father was a Taurus too. Connected to the family, to good life, good food, passionate, tender.. and a little stubborn, my mother used to say so!! ;]
LOVE,
Thelma.
Olá paulo
Escrevei um artigo chamado: “e isso tambem é uma questão de opinião” para tentar concluir o quanto vale a vida humana.
Provavavelmente um mestre como você não irá ler mas mesmo assim já estarei honrado se aceitar o comentário para que outras pessoas possam refletir.
abraço

I wanted to post some poems very interesting,but could not get them translated. I see that maybe I must improve my English skills and do that by myself.I will search again,maybe I find something.
Just thinking that would be interesting to come up with the association about “the apple”. I dont know if it were already. For sure we will have many answers.
Today my father has his birthday. He made me laugh, telling that is approaching the worlds end.How? I asked him. He said because all the beasts are loving each other, in tv he saw the news that the enemies parties now are like friends…
Dear Carolena Sabah,

Who can trust the politicians?? ;] The system !
Have a nice week-end, in … hot L.A.
LOVE,
Thelma.
LOVE from London!!!
A quote also from my blog :-)
——————————
If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair.
We’d never have a friendship.
We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical.
Well, that’s nonsense.
You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

Hi, thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
I would just like to share my thoughts about your lovely book The Alchemist, as excerpted from an article I wrote in my blog. These are, of course, merely my own thoughts and others likely have had a different experience with the book, and so I would enjoy hearing other people’s thoughts about what the book meant for them.
My full review.
Today, April 24th.
In remembrance of the 1.5 million Armenians killed during the genocide by the Turks in 1915!
I pray this stops everywhere and never ever happens again!
Picture of today on my blog :-)

No love at first sight!
After 3 years of a beautiful and lovable relationship with her, i have understood one thing very interesting,if not others. To me there is no love at first sight.The first sight only causes an impulse to be in other person’s company. The company grows into a relationship.And with the growth to that relationship, love evolves. Love is not the impulse because if it were, it would end as soon as it comes into being.Love takes time to grow.
Love grows.
Its you and the person on whom your love depends.You both have to be, so that love is there.The efforts of both are needed in order that love may find expression.Its always there in your heart, you just have to bring it out.

REFLEXÕS AMBIENTAIS
A IN-SUNTABILIDADE HUMANA PROMOVENDO SOLIDARIEDADE
Impossível falar sobre causas ambientais, perda da biodiversidade, aquecimento global, quando nosso vilão comportamento nos colocou no topo da cadeia com o maior prejuízo já visto na história do planeta “A PERDA DOS REAIS VALORES HUMANOS”.
Quando tratamos das causas ambientais flora e fauna em extinção, estamos sem duvida tratando da alma humana, pois reside nela a real causa de tantas calamidades ambientais e consequentemente humanas.
Foi o modelo capitalista que gerou essa imensa vala entre os seres humanos e a deterioração do ambiente natural de nosso mundo, foi o oportunismo apoiado ao modelo cartesiano que avalizou durante anos o comportamento de nações e indivíduos a adotarem como padrão humano e social desenvolvido a falta de valores morais, éticos, solidários e afetivos.
O aquecimento global é a ponta de um imenso iceberg de problemas em nosso mundo, pois na eminência do fim da biodiversidade do planeta e aqui estamos inseridos somos todos obrigados a repensar o viver, somos projetados a olhar a miséria de alguns povos e a riqueza miserável de outros.
Ao entrarmos na seara da atual situação de nossos recursos naturais, vamos-nos defrontar com nossas irresponsáveis atitudes diárias, com nossos descasos e inevitavelmente com seres humanos em situação de profunda miséria que em algum momento na história da humanidade foram deixados de lado, pois suas nações não ofereciam matéria prima há ser explorada pelo universo capitalista no mundo.
O momento atual de nossa situação ambiental no planeta nos oferece a dádiva maior da vida, O APRENDIZADO DA SOLIDARIEDADE HUMANA.
