Cultivating inner knowing
A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
What are the options and possibilities for my dreams that I don't know? How can I find then?

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:
Seeing students in a university in Pernambuco, using my project Muda Jovem, for a college project, as an example of cultural access for low-income students in the Brazilian Northeastern. I was happy to see the impact growth beyond numbers and truly reaching real people :)

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:
Don't being able to submit all the college applications that I planned, trying everything to finish in time but still couldn't

Courage
Aligning action
Assumptions I'm examining right now are:
Time/Attention,Success

I originally assumed:
I used to think that every second of my day/week has to be destinated to my final goal
November 4, 2025
These assumptions are changing:
I'm still learning how to deel with this assumption, but I'm noticing that success requires pacience and that everything that happens in our way has a meaning. I'm trying to be courageous to rest, to breath and remember of all the possibilities that I can take.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
Going into the house my fater had in the interior of my city. Since he passed way I couldn't go there, everything was empty, very dry, the plants had died long ago without water, and it seemed as if time had stood still. It was hard to see that but I'm glad that I had finally go.

Lizzy and I had a call in August that REALLY helped me replan my steps and look at all the possibilities I had in my surroundings. She's been very kind to me this last month, reaching out to keep me engaged in the community. I'm very grateful for the kindness and accountability.

Magical Moments
Brazil's Independence Day

Sep 7, 2025
Last week, september 7th, it was Brazil’s Independence Day. From early morning, the city was filled with music and parades, a big celebration of national pride. What touched me most, the magical moment, was the diversity I saw on the main avenue, students and performers of different genders, races, body types, and backgrounds proudly representing their schools and towns. In the past, parades often highlighted only the “ideal” few, but this time inclusion and representation stood at the capital. Families gathered, elders watched with joy, and the atmosphere radiated unity. For me, it was magical to witness a Brazil that truly mirrored its people.
