News and Movie Precious

I miss writing and I am full of excuses when it comes to sit down and decide on something to write.
This year I have decide to start cleaning some of the items on my "Bucket List" and next monday I start a new "Cake Decoration Course". I am really looking forward to it and will keep you posted on my new adventure.

Life has been pretty nice to me considering the world condition and I guess you just have to face it and fight. This is what where I spend my energies, in getting as much as I can out of my life, working hard to make my world balanced.

News , Bia has lounged her own blog, just starting but I am happy she is slowly getting the pleasure of writing and specially train her English. She writes about women...suddenly I have a women at home!!

Daniel is still fighting to find his way, as sweet as ever, he makes my day with his melancolic eyes.

Little David has come as a blessing and works as my spiritual aid. Thank you God.

Last sunday decided to make a day on the movies and must tell you about PRECIOUS, it was a long time since I felt such a strong pump on my heart. It is a powerfully emotive story filled with hope and optimism.
The story of many young girls that have nothing worth for them to fight for and how a special environement can make them feel part of a world and not just an alien somewhere in the society.
As a mother, I was moved by the story of a mother that repeatedly tells her daughter how stupid and worthless she is and she has become hardened and heartless, lacking education and social skills.
But good things can happen in this world and Precious is blessed with an indomitable spirit that refuses to accept the negative.Through her efforts, and despite resistance from her mother, she finds an alternative school where is she feels part . It is a caring teacher and classmates who, although anything but perfect, possess enough compassion to become supportive friends. It turn out that the world can be a pretty good place.
DO NOT MISS IT!

Glad to be back.
