I guess we have skipped Winter and gone straight to the Spring here in North Carolina! :) This Sunday the weather was so pleasant that my friend Pat decided to take me for some sightseeing and some walking along with her dogs through Robbins and the neighboring tows... it was fantastic! One of the things that takes my breath away here in North Carolina is the sky... so blue, so clear, and so beautiful at night! As most of the cities around here survive from agriculture and raising animals, it's all woods, pasture... green. As a nature lover, it's paradise for me! Pat also took me to see the geographical center of the state - a town called Start - and after that, to an art field, with pieces made out of old machinery - where we were chased by 4 huge dogs that insisted on getting in front of her car... terrifying! All in all, it felt wonderful driving with no destination... the hours here feel more and more like "goodbye". I have peace, though.
I can sense that my time here in the United States is coming to an end. I can feel God doing something greater than I could ever explain in my life... so I'm trying to enjoy what's left of time for me here to the fullest!
May better, brighter days come!

Impressions on marriage - children. :)

These impressions on marriage by kids are too hilarious for me not to share! :D :D

Globalization in a relationship!

In a modern fairy-tale, my heart and I, one coming from Europe - Czech Republic, the other one coming from South America - Brazil, meeting in Georgia, USA to return to that same Europe to share a life... God is good and faithful!

People of Walmart.

Lovely people,

Since I've posted about Walmart and a little bit about shopping here in America, time has come for me to share with you my latest - and addictive discovery: the website 'People of Walmart'. Nowhere in America you're going to see so much diversity and freedom in expressing themselves... while they are shopping.

To keep up with the website, I'll also post a video my dear friend Pat Wallace has shared with me, with the song for the absolutely hilarious pictures while people were shopping for their groceries - while exhibiting all their 'style' - in Walmart stores throughout the country.
To end this, I can say is... ENJOY! :)

Cuteness of the day!

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook today... it was taken in Malaysia. Certainly one of the cutest things I've ever seen!

China or Brazil?

Hello, everybody! Happy New Year!

I want to start this year sharing an article that has shocked me by the similarities of what we've been facing in Brazil for several years... be it due to corruption, lack of education, a system that privileges the wealth - it's our reality!
Let's increase in knowledge and be more active in making the world in which we live better. I've been made more aware these past years that knowledge brings responsibility. Our education is not for ourselves, but for serving others and improving the society we live in!
Read this, think, reflect on what you can do to change this situation...

Much love and blessings,
                                     Helen :)
