What do you think of my new treasures?
It's kind of a ritual every time I visit Porto, I lunch with one of my mom's best friend then she takes us to @vintage_paredes. So many treasures there...one of the owners Paulo knows what I look for so I always come back with good stuff😂. Nothing makes me more happy then bookstores and vintage shops.
What is your favorite shopping?

Summer is here...
Feels like
Going to the beach
Do nothing and not feel guilty
Have a huge ice cream
Gather with friends
Enjoy the sunset... and the sunrise
Go to an outdoor movie
Drink lemonade
Have picnics
What does summer look like to you?

A bright future...
heading to his new home.
You'll notice I add the photos of this passport journal backwards. What would I do differently if I could change my past?
I would live fearless
I would love myself
I would value myself
I would recognize me
I would not compare me to others
I would feel whole
It took me years and I still stumbled sometimes to believe
I AM ENOUGH...
I bring something to the world.
My life matters...
Good week my dear heart/ art friends

Passport journal... almost ready love this couple

Passport journal... almost ready love this couple how they shine how happy they seem at least in the picture right? They left Portugal back in 1956 to live abroad, left their families behind in a time where travelling was expensive, probably they wouldn't t see them for a long time. No internet, nor Skype nor face time back then... Hoping that this new country, would bring them a fulfilling life. A different language, culture and
They probably work very hard, save their money, didn' t have much pleasures in life, dreaming of Portugal, stayed in their community. They were courageous, honest, resilient...
I deeply admire them.
I shall call this new book...
A bright future
What do you think? Any suggestions?

Yes day...
Nothing like a mom's advice to cheer up....
Go to the beach, bring your dog India along, enjoy the moment with Luis, say to each other how much you love the other, look back on what you have achieved, all the small steps it took to be where you are now, visualize your dream wood house as one day you' ll live in it, trust the universe, again look back, be grateful, write down before going to bed all the countless blessing of the day.
Thanks mom advice followed
