O maior conquistador não é aquele que conquista grandes coisas, mas sim o que conquista as pequenas e as torna grandes!

“The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.” –Charles de Gaulle

“The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat.” –Jules Renard

“One small cat changes coming home to an empty house to coming home.” –Pam Brown


“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.” –Josh Billings


“An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.” –Martin Buber


“Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” –George Eliot

Rainwater Harvesting. Great Idea. Reap what you Sow.

Changing Seasons - the Mud Maid is a living sculpture by Sue Hill.
Depending on the season, the mud maid’s ‘hair’ and ‘clothes’ change when the
seasonal plants and moss grow over the sculpture.

What is Luxury?

Barely the day started and... it's already six in the evening.

 


Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.
... and the month is already over.
... and the year is almost over.
... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.
... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
and we realize it's too late to go back...
So... Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time...
Let's keep looking for activities that we like...
Let's put some color in our grey...
Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let's try to eliminate the afters...
I'm doing it after...
I'll say after...
I'll think about it after...
We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.
Because what we don't understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...
afterwards, priorities change...
Afterwards, the charm is broken...
afterwards, health passes...
Afterwards, the kids grow up...
Afterwards parents get old...
Afterwards, promises are forgotten...
afterwards, the day becomes the night...
afterwards life ends...
And then it's often too late....
So... Let's leave nothing for later...
Because still waiting see you later, we can lose the best moments,
the best experiences,
best friends,
the best family...
The day is today... The moment is now...
We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away.

NO SPEAKAH DA ENGLISH

A bus stops and 2 Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.

The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following:

Emma come first.
Den I come.
Den two asses come together.
I come once-a-more! ..
Two asses, they come together again.
I come again and pee twice.
Then I come one lasta time'

The lady can't take this anymore, "You foul- mouthed sex obsessed pig!" She retorted indignantly. 'In this country, we don't speak aloud in public places about our sex lives!"

'Hey, coola down lady,' said the man, 'Whooza talkin' about sex? I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spell " Mississippi "

GRATITUDE IS AN INSTANT REMEDY TO ILLUSIONS OF LACK.


You were born with the natural ability to
 manifest what you want.
 You have been given the ability to 
imagine and visualize
 your desired reality into existence.
Direct your energy towards what you want.
Speak and think it into existence.
Believe in it so much that it must show up.


Believe in miracles, and they will believe in you.


To live your life in the way you choose, you have
 to be a bit rebellious.
You have to be willing to stand up for yourself.


Sometimes we don't need to have a plan.
All that is needed is to trust, breathe, release and be 
available to what unfolds.



GOD when I lose hope, help me to remember
 that your love is greater than
 my disappointments and your plans
 for my life are better than my dreams. Amen.


Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater
 power than defending or hanging on.


If you can't receive help with an open heart, you're
 never really giving it with an open heart.


Sometimes catching a glimpse of God's faithfulness 
in a backward glance is just what a heart
 needs to keep moving forward.


Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:


1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
