Lost in Brazil...found by a sister.
Sao Paulo, Brazil April 10, 2011
For the last 10 days I have been working non-stop in Brazil...and by non-stop I really mean it - Saturdays, Sundays, midnights, all-nighters, the works. The hardest part is not the stress, the tiredness, lack of sleep or scattered meals... the hardest part is realizing all the things I've been missing for 10 days...from my weekends at home, waking up to a fresh mug of coffee, Murphy jumping up to bed and hubby by my side to my cousins singing with me out loud, laughing, planning, dreaming.
The feeling of control over my time and actions, lost. Routine dictated by the endless tasks, trial and error, pressure added by impossible milestones...it's like I've been living in a non-stop deja vu...like waking up in the middle of The Groundhog Day movie.
And yet today, I found the nicest surprise: a fellow blogger passed on a blogger's award...The Sisters of the Quill award...I am touched. She passed this award to (and I quote) "deserving writers, to women whose talent needs to be recognized" - wow...now I feel commited to keep up the huge faith my dear Sioux has on my amateur writing...thank you very much!
The proclamation is to spread the sisterhood! I would like to pass it over to five fantastic writers that always impress me, inspire me, move me and create a connection with their words, heart and soul:
Green Monkey Tales to her wit and sensibility
F8hasit to her poignant realism and brave heart
My Daily Spirit to her poetry, romanticism, faith in life.
Everyday Goddess to her tales, stories and fantastic imagination
Becky Povich to her humor, energy, good vibe...to her generous soul.
Pass it on!!!

Hibernate/ /Restart
Procrastination is taking over my usual flow of inspiration
My source of stories locked somehow.
I have so many things to share… my latest journeys, dreams accomplished
People met, places visited, baseball and much more plans.
What to do when work is taking most of your usual enjoyable time?
Worst part is work used to be a pleasure…but is starting to feel like too much.
How to react when you need to take a break from taking breaks?
Where to start to force your brain to think again in full paragraphs
In rhythmic sentences and simple lines, or at least in short sarcastic remarks.My eyes are tired…my body aches. It has been a little bit too much.
Excuse myself for this humble exercise...my attempt to write, to write again
But here I am at least just trying, to break my dry spell for a day.
