Men of honour
Hello world…I have been very quiet in the the net these last months. I traveled to India to Easter islands and those trips were quite remarquable and fulfilling. I needed time out of the studio recharging the batteries searching questioning myself…a lot! What it is that i create? What is the purpose? One of my clients told me recently that my art comes from the heart and it makes him feel connected with his beloved when he offered her one of my albums. It was an unique and special gift one that she will remembered and treasured. I felt quite empowered. How priceless is that for an artist? Tears come to my eyes and…THANK YOU was my answer. THANK YOU for the trust THANK YOU for the feedback THANK YOU for the connection HAVE FUN ENJOY XOXOXO
When a man loves a woman…
Latest album ordered by a beautiful woman for her wedding. At first the album was her special heart gift for her husband to be but i sense when creating why not make it a surprise for them both? So they had their wedding in the midst of the forest(how cool is that?) along with their three children, family and friendsand in the next morning they opened the album which celebrates their mutual love. Here is just a glimpse of it of course as the fotos are private… Hope you enjoy it. Have a nice week end xo
Momento Mágico…
Recebi este mail lindo e queria partihar. (Sorry for those who don’t speak portuguese, received this magic mail from a client and was touched to tears. Beautiful written…someone with a true soul) Olá Alexandra!Conheci o seu trabalho há uns dois anos através do seu marido.Explico-lhe como se passou:Era Dezembro e fazia frio. Andava a divagar pelo Chiado aquele sitio que nao esquecemos pela luz e vida incrível, aquele lugar que nos trás algumas lembranças e memórias de infância, aquele Chiado que está sempre diferente a cada momento, que nos transporta para fora de nós e nos faz sentir livres por sermos quem somos.Andava a divagar depois de uma fim de semana romântico em que celebrávamos,como sempre, os anos do S, deambulava pelas ruas olhando para tudo e para nada.Mas de repente parei porque nao consegui andar mais.Parei numa pequena banca com coisas lindas, cheias de história e histórias. Fiquei vidrada.Reparei que pertencia a um Homem com ar distinto e afável e por isso perguntei:“É o senhor que faz?”Ao que me respondeu com um sorriso eterno nos olhos: “Nao, é a minha …
A woman in love

About Hope…
It seems that i have only questions without answers those days. In this moment of huge crise in Portugal what can we do to help one another, to give support, to listen and still be positive? The state is cutting everywhere, people struggle to remain afloat but it becomes more and more challenging each day to just survive. Some go to the beach to regain energy, i do whenever i can but i like to gather down my thoughts, my dreams in my “make a wish journals”too. I follow Julia Cameron’s advice( the vein of gold, a journey to your creative heart) to write down every single day with no exception 3 pages who will help you to become more centered, balanced and alert. Easy to say when it seems there is no way out, when you found only close doors ahead of you. No need to reply doors will open one day, have to be patient blabla bla… And ye,t you soon realise that human beings have unlimited resources within them after moments of complete despair HOPE arise again …
On compassion…
Sorry guys…been rather lazy on blogging lately! This album was a special order from a woman in love. What is there other than being in love? Love for your man, your woman, your kids, your pets, your friends(should have put the friends before the pets but one is never deceived by pets!) Love is what we all seek, yet it can be hard and challenging but in the end is what we’ll take with us. Just open randomly the Dalai’s Lama book ” the art of happiness”quoting… In generating compassion, you start by recognizing that you do not want suffering and that you have a right to have happiness. This can be verified or validated by your own experience. So… let us meditate on compassion today. Begin by visualizing a person who is acutely suffering, someone who is in pain or in a very unfortunate situation. Try to relate that to yourself, thinking, “that individual has the same capacity for experiencing pain, joy, happiness and suffering than i do”. Then, try to allow your natural response to arise- a natural …
On trust…
I haven’t blog for a while…which is not a good thing say the experts! One must write a page at least once a week…I am not a professional blogger and won’t become one because the web world is not what thrives me…so the issue here is accepting the fact that maybe my blog will not be highly ranked on google. My inner voice keep whispering, don’t push yourself too much things will come in an easy and smooth way, and you know what? I will do just that… cool myself and trust God that he will take me where i should be. I realize over the years that one of the most difficult things we human have to deal with is … TO JUST LET GO TO TRUST How difficult is to trust When to act When to remain quiet How can we let go something that we want so much? How? Advices are most welcome! Have a good week Feel blessed Thank you XO
