From Brazil, with love

Thursday, December 15, 2011


Seven years ago I bought an one way ticket to the USA to marry the man of my life. Behind I left many memories, people and favorite places. Yet, when it comes to the matters of the heart, there are no easy choices.

The country I left behind, Brazil, is still inside me. Like my husband says: you can take the girl out of Brazil, but you can't take Brazil out of the girl! So, when my radar detects the word Brazil, here in my daily life, I can't hide a certain pride: "They are talking about me!" Like when listening to the radio this week, the interviewed professor gives Brazil as an example of a growing economy.

Today I got a daily Etsy newsletter in my email box. (Etsy is the world's largest handmade online market) It was highlighting some products from Brazil, from all places. I thought I would share, as there is nothing more empowering than creative individuals being able to sell their work online. Happy shopping!
