The day of departure is quickly approaching, and in two days I will be on a plane on my way to Salvador, Brazil. I am going to be there for about three weeks and will then spend four days in Manaus (on the Amazon) for a Cultural Immersion Program. The time in Salvador will be spent creating a new NGO to fight the effects of both climate change and new industrialization on the Amazon. I am planning to document as much of this one woman adventure as I possibly can in this here blog, and hope y'all find it interesting.
"Now here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to stay in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that."

It is the most gratifying moment to discover the richness of the world within, the depth of the soul of the child who in Mother’s eyes remains forever her little girl, but who somehow, somewhere grew up to become a woman of great substance. It is even more gratifying to know that in the course of raising this girl, even during the darkest times of single-parenting and emotional struggles, talking about life values, life priorities, outings to obscure off-Broadway theaters, listening to great operas, wanderings around multiple European locations, talks about art and literature, world history, however fleeting or just inspirational, took root and produced this multifaceted INDIVIDUAL!
I am proud of you!
MOM.
