Oh Brasil

Oh Brasil!
Being in another country, surrounded in a new language and culture invigorates me in so many ways. I get to experience that nervousness and frustration of not being able to express myself, the joy and triumph of sharing my thoughts and feelings, the peace of being alone with my thoughts when I turn off the sounds around me, and the immersive language class I get to attend when I turn on and pay attention to my surroundings.

During this past month, Brazil had me feeling luscious, rich, intrigued, liberated, inspired, and loved. I see the luscious greens that surround me and feel how much life there is to experience. I feel rich in my relationships, connections, opportunities, and experiences. I feel intrigued by all the new things to learn about and all the different ways things can be done. I feel liberated in my coyness and get permission to be seen, admired and to show some butt cheeks 😜

After my 3rd time visiting and almost a month living in Rio de Janeiro with Vitor and his family, I’ve gotten more & more comfortable and seeing how many places we get to call home.
