I am priceless... Are you able to tell that to yo

I am priceless...
Are you able to tell that to yourself? Do you find any resistance? How come we struggle so hard with our self esteem? How come we believe so many times we have nothing or so little to offer to the world?
The willingness to hide and give up seems easier and to show up takes a lot of courage. I was deeply touched by @amandajolley coming out on her diagnosis of autism. Thanks to her I learn how to and how not to, priceless. Same with @aimeeirel appearance on @willa.wanders podcast. Those artists women are perfect in their imperfection and in that I felt this immediately trust and bound with them. Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress. Not giving up, showing up in our vulnerability definitely connects us with the OTHER.
Wish you a happy day from Santiago del 🇨🇱

Longing for those free times... seems years ago an

Longing for those free times... seems years ago and... it was only 2 years back in our little corner of paradise called #quadradotrancoso. We used to go at least once a year two if time and money allowed it😂. If you never been to Brazil it s one of those countries that are so special and magical. They speak Portuguese so of course for us it s easier, they are so friendly that the language barrier doesn't t really applies. Longing to walk on those endless beaches, drinking a caipirinha at sunset, coming back to the quadrado where there's no cars and assist at several weddings in front of the small chapel with the locals while having an ice cream. Priceless times unknowingly that it would take a while before being allowed to come back. Brazil is very touched by the pandemic feels it s never going to end and... oups have to go guys my India just vomit probably from eating too many plants in the patio😂.
Just one question what do you long for? Which countries or places do you want to visit first?

Just to show you what is on my worktable today...

Just to show you what is on my worktable today... almost finished a new passport journal. Absolutely love this process learned from @orlyavineri . While creating I imagine how was the life of Maria... It s written she was married, had the authorization of her husband to leave the country and live in Canada as an emigrant. It was a time where women had no rights to have a bank account nor to have a business in their name can you imagine?
I feel very grateful to those women who fought to give us the liberty we have today at least in the occidental world. I cannot imagine not working, not having my own money, not being able to have a bank account, not allowed to vote, asking for permission to my husband to leave the country ...
feeling very lucky
What is on your worktable today?

SOLD... Artist book I am grateful
Flying today to his new home.
I am happy with this wrapping. The vintage French linen belonged to my grandma, the old photo was bought in our oldest flea market called Feira da Ladra that is closed now due to lockdown, the metal is from the constructor who is building our house and was displayed among wood and furniture. What I love is always the question" what are you going to do with that..." which is a beautiful way to introduce those who are not familiar with the mixed media world and to start a conversation right?
How do you explained our world to those who don t see it, know it, get it?
