A kind re-start

“If my mind can conceive, and my heart can believe, I know I can achieve” (Jesse Jackson). Learnings of the week: “When my mind conceives too much my body suffers!”. Lack of balance between hours in front of the computer and hours of leisure, produces body, head and eyes ache, and difficulty to sleep and relax. Trust me! “Not everything our...

How to join

Initially the campaign will use only free tools available on the Internet; as well as the voluntary engagement of interested people and companies. Essentially everybody can join by simply being kind and present on a daily basis. However, those interested on going beyond may contribute as suggested below or as desired. People – as participants...

Main concepts

Three concepts are essential to this campaign: Choice: directly connected with the idea of ‘freedom’, choice is the basis of this campaign; that believes no change is possible without a conscious personal participation. Without choice, no kindness or presence will happen. Without it, people won’t embrace their responsibility regarding a better...

About the campaign

Certainly, most people agree they would rather live in a better World. In fact, there are plenty of them pursuing the dream of a brighter future through personal activities, projects and NGOs. However, change is often postponed for tomorrow; most people do not believe this change is possible to be experienced ‘now’. This campaign aims to...

Results and new starts

Well, Saturday was “Day to choose not to procrastinate and do what I have to do!” And I really managed to do it, but soon I found out a few things:- if this is your decision try not to unite: leaving all the projects from the week to this day and inviting a couple of friends to go to your place at different hours. You’ll end up exhausted,...

Thursday – Day to work on my presence and do one thing at a time!

Today was one of those days in which I can say with property that “easily said than done”! I can’t even say I started the day well. I brushed my teeth while taking the bathroom’s trash out... and that was the rhythm of the day; with few exceptions in which I really started a task and went all the way to its end. Even now, I’m chatting...

Online activism

We live in a connected world. A world where distance became reality to the size of our souls and disposition. For example, today I received an email from a friend advertising the petition of a human right's NGO called Avaaz. The petition was about a law in Uganda, that at first wouldn't affect my life at all. But as I believe the...

Procratination, a word I adore!

I don’t know about you, but I have a problem (in fact many, but I’ll share one at a time in order not to scary you too fast): I procrastinate! It is more or less like an escalated writer’s block with a perfect logic behind it! I sit my @$$ in front of the computer, but “since the inspiration didn’t show up in the first 30 seconds”, I...

A half-full-of-champagne glass

I’m sure you already heard the expression “glass half full or half empty”! It’s normally used to identify positive and negative people in a kind of plastic, selective process memorized answer type: “Oh! Me? I’m a ‘half full glass’ type of girl; always positive about everything!”. Argh, let’s be honest! The glass is half way and that’s...

Me

I’m sorry if you were hoping for a Profile or a CV. I have both, but I don’t think they translate me very well. I’m not what I do; although what I do surely impacts on who I am! I’m not a saint or perfect, I don’t always wake up in the right feet or in a good hair day. I have good and bad qualities, none of them define me; what I do...

Carpe Diem: Tempus Fugit...

"Whenever there are alternatives, be careful. Do not choose the convenient, the comfortable, the respectable, the socially acceptable, the honourable. Choose what makes your heart vibrates. Choose what you would like to do, despite all consequences." (Osho) The quote by Osho may seem strange, polemic, according to the way you read...

Kindness: a simple concept and a huge challenge

I'm not the only one to think that being kind is nice! Everybody I know likes when someone stops to let you in first on traffic or holds you the lift door! We are surprised and love when people are kind; and constantly complain about the lack of education, sense, citizenship, etc. Anyway, in theory the concept is simple and...

From where do we start?

From the beginning... the first step... the first text... the decision together with the action... from anywhere! What is most important is to begin!   This blog is an invitation I made myself to start something real to change what I believe isn't fine: NOW, RIGHT AWAY, IMMEDIATELY! I'd like to forward this invitation to you!  It's...
