You do your thing and I do my thing. You are you and I am I. And, if, in the end, we end up together... it's beautiful.

You can't help but feel her pain

TV quote

People say everything happens for a reason. These people are usually women. And these women are usually sorting through a break up. It seems that men can get out of a relationship without even a good-bye, but apparently women have to either get married or learn something. Why are we in such a rush to move from confused to confuscious? Do we search for 'lessons' to lessen the pain?

Sacrifices

A wise man once said you can have anything in life, if you sacrifice everything else for it. What he meant is, nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle you better decide how much you're willing to lose.

New beginings

It's not a day on the calendar. Not a birthday, not a new year. It's an event, big or small, something that changes us. Ideally, it gives us hope. A new way of living and looking at the world. Letting go of old habits, old memories . . . What's important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning. But it's also important to remember that amid all the crap . . . are a few things worth holding on to.

"Most of us are just about as happy as we make up our minds to be. "
William Adams

To my Carrie

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away."

Don't diss the juju

Superstition lies in the space between what we can control. Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck. No one wants to pass up a chance for good luck. But does saying it thirty three times really help? Is anyone really listening? And if no ones listening, why do we bother doing those strange things. We rely on superstitions because we're smart enough to know we don't have all the answers. And that life works in mysterious ways. Don't diss the juju, from wherever it comes.

Just to laugh a little bit

Book of the week

Uma mulher dividida entre duas culturas e dois amores.

O trágico e apaixonante romance entre Hernán Cortés e a índia Malinalli (a sua intérprete durante a conquista do império asteca), num livro que nos desvenda o mito fundador da cultura híbrida do Novo Mundo e nos conta uma extraordinária história de amor.

Quando a índia Malinalli conhece Cortés, assume que se trata do próprio Deus Quetzalcóalt, que regressa para libertar o seu povo. Os dois apaixonam-se loucamente, mas esse amor será destruído pela desmedida sede de conquista, poder e riqueza de Cortés, um dos mais importantes conquistadores espanhóis. Audaz e engenhoso numa época de grandes heróis, Cortés foi o único que chegou a conhecer a fundo os indígenas americanos. O grande valor estratégico de Malinalli, sua tradutora e intérprete, converteu-a numa personagem-chave na colonização da América e nas relações entre a coroa espanhola e os diferentes povos indígenas. A história do México acabaria por reservar a Malinalli outro papel, o de traidora do seu próprio povo, mas as investigações históricas recentes mostram que foi sim a mediadora entre duas culturas, a hispânica e a nativa americana, e entre duas línguas, o espanhol e o náhuatl.

Com a queda do império asteca como pano de fundo, Laura Esquivel desafia a mitologia tradicional através do retrato apaixonado do Adão e da Eva da cultura mestiça: Cortés e Malinalli.
