A LITTLE REMINDER FROM CHAPLIN :)

Here's one of Juliana's favorite texts! To respect yourself, you have to LOVE yourself!

"As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today I know “THAT IS LIFE”! " 

- Charles Chaplin

BOI BUMBA!

To all Brazilians in NYC ( and those who would love to know more about the Brazilian culture) this weekend we celebrated the Festa Junina (June Festival) - the Brazilian part in celebrating the nativity of St. John the Baptist! These festivities, which were introduced by the Portuguese during the colonial period (1500-1822), are celebrated during the month of June nationwide both in Brazil and Portugal. The feast is mainly celebrated on the eves of the Catholic solemnities ofSaint Anthony, Saint John the Baptist, and Saint Peter.

Juliana was invited by the Brazilian ONG, CASA PACA, to perform a play about the folk theatrical tradition "Bumba Meu Boi"! The tale is told through the music, the costumes and drumming involving a bull, which dies and is brought back to life. It was a beautiful celebration!

This is the 3rd year of CASA PACA's June Festival! To have more information about the party, please visit their Facebook Page or Website!
