Anteontem foi o dia de dizer adeus a Doha. Foi uma despedida difícil e emocional, como foi, se pensar bem nisso, a nossa chegada - que capacidade incrível esta que nós temos de “esquecer” as coisas menos boas!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tivemos vários meses para nos preparar para este dia, mas só quando as mudanças chegaram, e levaram literalmente todos os nossos pertences, é que me apercebi que era real. Que ia mesmo acontecer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não sei nem como começar por sumariar estes dois anos e meio… </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fiz amigos para a vida e partilhei experiências com muitas pessoas, que mesmo não o sendo, me enriqueceram a caminhada de uma forma inexplicável. Questionei pre-conceitos que tinha. Descobri coisas muito importantes para mim. O nosso filho teve a oportunidade de conviver com praticamente todo o tipo de culturas. Adoptamos a nossa sweet Bonnie. Vivemos intensamente muitos e muitos convívios, como nunca antes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Memórias, tantas memórias que guardaremos para sempre. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Costumávamos comentar entre amigos, que a vida que tínhamos no Qatar não era real. Era uma bolha. Uma bolha muito confortável, extremamente confortável e glamorosa, que primeiro se estranha mas que depois se entranha. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não sei como vou conseguir encaixar-me novamente na minha antiga vida, casa, vizinhança, quando cá dentro me sinto tão diferente. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aguardo pela infalível lei do tempo, que tudo colocará em seu lugar novamente. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***************</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The day before yesterday we've said goodbye to Doha. It was a difficult and emotional farewell, as it was, if I think deeply about it, our arrival - what an incredible capacity that we have to tend to "forget" the worst moments and keep only the good ones!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">We had several months to prepare ourselves for this day, but it was only when the movers arrived, and literally </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(111, 168, 220); color: #6fa8dc;">took away </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">all our belongings, that I <span style="caret-color: rgb(111, 168, 220);">reckoned: This is it. This is real.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I don't know how to start summarizing these two and a half years...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I made friends for life and shared amazing experiences with many other people, who even though not being so, enriched my journey in an inexplicable way. I questioned preconceptions that I had. I discovered things that are very important to me. Our son had the opportunity to live with practically all kinds of cultures. We adopted our sweet Bonnie. We lived intensely many and many gatherings, as never before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Memories, so many memories that we will keep forever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">We used to say among friends, that the life we were living in Qatar was not real. It was a bubble. A very comfortable bubble, extremely comfortable and glamorous, which first looks strange but then guts in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(111, 168, 220); color: #6fa8dc;"> don't</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> know how am I going to be able to fit into my old life again, home and neighborhood, when I feel so different </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(111, 168, 220); color: #6fa8dc;">inside</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I'll wait for the infallible law of time, which eventually will put everything in its due place.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; text-align: justify;">Querida comunidade.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;">Demorei algum tempo a preparar este tutorial para partilhar com vocês, mas finalmente aqui está ele:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><a href="https://youtu.be/NgpULxmOWFU" target="_blank">A minha melhor receita de pão caseiro! </a></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Clicar, para ver o video)</span>.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;">Estou muito satisfeita com esta minha partilha, pois sei que quem experimentar, não ficará desapontado. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #1d2129;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;">Conseguir encontrar a receita ideal para o "pão nosso de cada dia", tem sido uma obsessão minha há, bem provavelmente, mais de uma década. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;">Já experimentei um pouco de tudo, na verdade: de forma, artesanal, convencional, baguette, integral, branco, de máquina, </span></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;">ciabatta, de queijo, de cereais etc, etc, etc. Contudo nenhuma receita resistia muito tempo porque, convenhamos, por muito amor que se tenha ao mundo <i>homemade</i>, na actualidade é muito difícil manter</span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;"> uma rotina que não seja prática, rápida e eficaz. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;">Porque é que gosto tanto desta minha receita: </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><b>primeiro</b> porque, não precisa de ser amassada;</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><b>segundo</b> porque, é tão fácil e rápida de fazer, que preparar pão todos os dias passa a ser uma tarefa que nem se dá conta - demoro menos de 5 mins a misturar os ingredientes antes da hora de jantar, a massa cresce durante a noite, só tenho que perder mais 5 mins a colocar o pão no forno de manhã e esperar entre 20 a 30 mins </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; text-align: justify;">que</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; text-align: justify;"> coza</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;">, </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; text-align: justify;">enquanto me arranjo para sair de casa</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; text-align: justify;">;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><b>terceiro</b> porque, sabe tão bem como os melhores pães que já comi;</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><b>quarto</b> </span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;">porque, usando a mesma receita posso variar o tipo de pão sem prejuízo do resultado final, </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">por exemplo misturando farinha integral à farinha, dita branca (ou refinada - que contem muito menos fibra) ou sementes, ou aromáticas...; </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><b>quinto</b> porque, ao contrario do pão de supermercado, eu escolho a qualidade dos ingredientes que coloco no pão que se senta à nossa mesa. Adeus à absurda quantidade de fertilizantes, pesticidas, conservantes, </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">colorantes e "<a href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_aditivos_alimentares" target="_blank">És</a>" que proliferam nas prateleiras. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="background-color: white;">Próximo passo nesta minha caminhada da fermentação: excluir totalmente o fermento químico, (cuja quantidade nesta minha receita já é bem reduzida☝️), e passar a usar a minha própria cultura, que não tem sido muito bem sucedida até agora... 😏</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="background-color: white;">Espero que experimentem e achem útil. </span></span></div>

Dear community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took me a while to prepare this tutorial to share with you, but finally here it is:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://youtu.be/NgpULxmOWFU" target="_blank">My best homemade bread recipe!</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Click, to see the video)</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am very pleased with my sharing, since I know that anyone who tries it won't be disappointed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Find my ideal recipe for "our daily bread," has been an obsession of mine for more than a decade.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can imagine, I have already tried a little bit of everything: loaf, conventional, baguette, whole grain, white, bread maker machine, ciabatta, cheese, cereal etc, etc, etc. However no recipe was long-lasting because, in present times, let us agree that no matter how much love we might have for the homemade world, it is very difficult to maintain a routine which is not practical, fast and effective.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why do I like my recipe so much:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>first</b> because, it does not need to be kneaded;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>second</b> because it is so easy and quick to make that preparing your every day bread happens to be a task which you don't even realize you're doing - it takes me less than 5 mins to mix the ingredients before dinner time, the dough raises during the night, I just need to spend another 5 mins to prepare the bread for the oven in the morning and wait between 20 and 30 mins to bake, while I get ready to get out of the house;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>third</b> because, it tastes as good as the best of breads I've ever tasted;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>fourth</b> because using the same recipe I can vary the type of bread without prejudice of the final result, for example mixing whole-grain flour with white flour, or seeds, or aromatics...;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>fifth</b> because, unlike supermarket breads, I choose the quality of the ingredients that go into the bread that sits at our table. Goodbye to the absurd amount of fertilizers, pesticides, preservatives, and "<a href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_aditivos_alimentares" target="_blank">Es</a>" that proliferate on the shelves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next step on my fermentation journey: totally exclude chemical ferment, (whose quantity in my recipe is already greatly reduced☝️), and start using my own culture, which has not been very successful so far ... 😏</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you will give it a try and find this post useful.</div>

Olá querida comunidade!<br />
<br />
Disseram-me esta semana que segundo a etiqueta francesa, até dia 31 de Janeiro, ainda vamos a tempo de desejar bom ano aos nossos amigos. Sei que para a grande maioria, a onda de saudações, resoluções, expectativas e pensamentos positivos já vai na sua corrente decrescente, mas eu sou das que prefere acreditar que o ano é feito de compromissos para 12 meses e não para os 7 primeiros dias, por isso permitam-me desejar-vos, a todo e cada um de vós, nestes últimos minutos do dia 31 de Janeiro, um feliz ano novo.<br />
<br />
Quanto às minhas resoluções para o novo ano, partilho com vocês o verbo que escolhi para definir o meu ano: <b>CONFIAR</b>. Não que eu não procure praticar diariamente a arte de <b>confiar</b>, mas antes porque ainda não masterizei o conceito em todas as áreas da minha vida e tudo indica que vou precisar muito de me concentrar no mantra: <b>confiar</b>, este ano.<br />
<br />
Outra resolução muito importante que fiz, e que entrou em prática há precisamente dois dias, foi unir-me à vaga de pessoas que pelo mundo todo começaram a apagar a app do <i>facebook</i> do seu telefone móvel. <br />
O meu <i>detox social </i>já começou e estou muito orgulhosa de mim mesma.<br />
<br />
Feliz ano novo!🎊<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Hello dear community!</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I was told this week that according to the French etiquette, until January, 31, we still can wish our friends a happy new year. I know that for the vast majority the wave of greetings, resolutions, expectations and positive thoughts has already reached the downward trend, but I'm one of those who prefers to believe that the year is made of a 12</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> months </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">commitment</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">. So please allow me to wish, each and every one of you, in this very last minutes of January, 31, a happy new year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">As per my resolutions for the new year, I want to share with you the verb that I chose to define my year: <b>TRUST</b>. Not because I don't try to practice the art of <b>trusting</b> </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">daily</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">, but rather because I have not mastered the concept in all areas of my life and everything indicates that I will need to focus </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">a lot </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">on the mantra: "<b>to trust",</b> this year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Another very important resolution I've made, which was effective from two days ago, was: to join the wave of people who all over the world, began to delete the <i>facebook</i> app from their mobile phones. </span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">My social detox has begun and I am very proud of myself.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Happy New Year Everyone!🎊</span><br />

Este ano celebramos pela primeira vez o dia de Acção de Graças. De todas as tradições que se têm vindo a exportar para a nossa cultura, esta é aquela mais apelativa, para mim.<br />
A casa cheirava a assado, a canela e a <i>spiced orange pomander balls</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Um dia especial que irei recordar com muito carinho durante muitos anos. A noite terminou com o clássico "sozinho em casa", a fazer as delícias dos miúdos, e dos graúdos, (que eu quase me tinha esquecido do divertido que é o filme). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O momento alto deste <i>Thanksgiving</i> porém, foi quando ouvimos as graças do S (e o meu coração, literalmente, derreteu): <i>"Eu amo muito a minha mamã e o meu papá e estou muito grato porque eles me deixam dormir com eles"</i>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meu querido filho, que uma coisa tão simples como a partilha da nossa almofada contigo, continue a fazer as tuas alegrias durante tanto tempo quanto aquele que desejares.<br />
<br />
Hoje como <i><a href="https://sofiaswhispers.blogspot.qa/2015/11/happy-thanksgiving.html" target="_blank">ontem</a></i>, as minhas graças permanecem inalteradas.<br />
<br />
🎄Feliz Quadra a todos!!!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
*****************</div>
<br />
This year we've celebrated Thanksgiving for the first time. From all the traditions that have been exported to our culture, this is the most appealing to me.<br />
The house smelled like Sunday roast, cinnamon and <i>spiced orange pomander balls</i>.<br />
<br />
A special day that I will remember for many years to come. The day ended up with the classic "home alone", which made the kids' delights, as well as the grown ups, (that I'd almost forgotten how funny the movie really is).<br />
<br />
The highest moment of this Thanksgiving, however, was when we've heard S's thanks (and my heart, literally melted): <i>"I love my mommy and daddy very much, and I am very grateful that they let me sleep with them."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
My dearest son, may something as simple as the sharing of our pillow with you, continue to make you this happy, for as long as you wish to.<br />
<br />
Today, as <a href="https://sofiaswhispers.blogspot.qa/2015/11/happy-thanksgiving.html" target="_blank"><i>yesterday</i></a>, my thanks remain unaltered.<br />
<br />
🎄Merry Season to all!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Todos sabemos que a melhor forma de nos conectarmos com os nossos filhos é através da brincadeira. É descendo alguns degraus, (às vezes muitos degraus) para vermos o mundo do mesmo prisma que eles, que verdadeiramente conseguimos penetrar no seu universo colorido.<br />
Infelizmente, para alguns de nós, esta descida não é um exercício fácil. Exige uma paciência que parece não se coadunar com os tempos modernos, em que aquietar a mente aparenta ser uma tarefa hercúlea.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Com maior ou menor dificuldade, aqui em casa, temos muito claro que brincar com o nosso filho, um bocadinho todos os dias, é uma necessidade. Tal como não saímos de casa de pijama e sem lavar os dentes, também a hora da conexão foi incorporada na nossa rotina, como sendo essencial.<br />
Dias há, no entanto, em que fazer outra corrida de carros pela 500ª vez, atrás dos malandros, é a última coisa que me apetece.<br />
Quando estou num desses momentos, uma das minhas actividades favoritas é construir brinquedos de cartão. Costumo dizer que é uma actividade DCE (<b>D</b>ivertida, <b>C</b>riativa e <b>E</b>ducativa).<br />
Já construímos uma bomba de gasolina, um Hospital, um parque de estacionamento, uma máquina registadora e um computador.<br />
<br />
As actividades DCE relaxam a mente, cumprem na integra o objectivo de conectarmos com o nosso filho, sem comprometer a nossa sanidade, são amigas do ambiente, contribuem para o desenvolvimento das suas <i>fine-motor skills</i>, ensinam valores como:<br />
- Eu tenho o poder de criar;<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- eu consigo fazer aquilo que me proponho fazer;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- às vezes o que parece impossível, afinal não o é; </div>
- <i>quem não tem cão, caça com gato</i>;<br />
- etc.<br />
<br />
e oferecem posteriormente, infinitas horas de diversão.<br />
(A minha parte favorita é o mega sorriso final, seguido do hi5 "conseguimos mamã!").<br />
<br />
Espero que gostem de praticar actividades DCE tanto quanto eu.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
*****************</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">We all know that the best way to connect with our children is through play. It's by going down some steps (sometimes many steps), to see the world from their prism, that we can truly penetrate in their colourful world.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Unfortunately, for some of us, this descent is not an easy exercise. It requires the patience that seems not to be in line with the modern times, where stilling the mind seems to be a Herculean task.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">With more or less difficulty, it is very clear for us, that playing with our son, a little bit every day, is a necessity. Just as we do not leave our house in our pajamas or without washing our teeth, so the connection time was incorporated into our routine, as being essential.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">There are days, however, when doing another car race for the 500th time, to catch the bad guys, is the last thing I feel like doing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">When I'm in one of those moments, one of my favorite activities is building cardboard toys with him. I usually call it the DCE activity (Portuguese acronym for Fun, Creative and Educational).</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">We already built a gas station, a hospital, a car park, a cash register and a computer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">DCE activities </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">relax our mind, </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">fulfil our need for connection with our child, without compromising our sanity, are environmentally friendly, help develop their fine-motor skills, teach them values such as:</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">- I have the power to create;</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">- I can do what I propose myself to do;</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">- sometimes what seems impossible, it's not, </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">after all</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">;</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">- Who does not have a dog, hunts with a cat;</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">- etc.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">and offers, posteriorly, endless hours of fun.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">(My favourite part is the smiley hi5 and the proud "we did it mummy!"). 💘</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I hope you'll all like to practice DCE activities as much as I do.</span><br />

E no seguimento do meu último post, porque me sobrou tinta azul e soluções de arrumação para a pequenada nunca são demais, decidi fazer mais uma caixa, desta vez, para arrumar brinquedos. Os princípios de execução foram exactamente os mesmos, basta apenas trocar o <i>print</i> das estrelas pelas letras. Acho que ficou amoroso no quarto do Salvador. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Resto de uma boa semana para todos vocês, desse lado, que me seguem fielmente. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Following my last post, because I had extra blue paint and storage solutions for the little ones are never enough, I decided to make one more box, this time, to store toys. The execution process </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">is exactly the same, just need to change the star print by the letters print. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I think it looks lovely in Salvador's room. </span></div>

Março foi mês de "culturas do mundo" na classe do Salvador. Fizemos muitas atividades cá em casa relacionadas com o tema, e de alguma forma pareceu-me também o momento perfeito para fazer o <i>projecto do mapa mundo</i> que eu estava sempre a adiar.<br />
<br />
Aqui estão os passos:<br />

<br />
March was the month for "cultures of the world" in Salvador's class. We did a lot of activities related to the theme at home, and somehow it also seamed to be the perfect timing to do the <i>map of the world</i> <i>project</i> I was always postponing.<br />
<br />
Here are the steps:<br />
<br />
<b><i>Passo 1 / Step 1</i></b><br />
<br />
<u>Material:</u><br />
Tela de pintura :: <span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Canvas</span><br />
Tecido com o padrão de um mapa à escolha :: <span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Fabric with the pattern of a map at your choice</span><br />
Agrafador :: <span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Stapler</span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><b>Passo 2 / Step 2</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Esticar muito bem o tecido sobre a tela e agrafar atrás da mesma.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Stretch the fabric tightly onto the canvas and staple it at the back.</span></div>

Depois de 3 meses sem escrever um único post parece que desaprendi de comunicar.<br />
Não há explicações demasiado complicadas a oferecer, a minha análise é simples: A minha vida alterou-se tanto no último ano, que tenho tido alguma dificuldade interior em g<span style="background-color: white;">erir a continuidade do registo que estava habituada a oferecer.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não serve de desculpa, mas ajuda a pôr em perspectiva, pensar que não sou a única, e que muitas outras(os) bloggers passam por esta mesma "crise de pausa permanente", sempre que o seu estilo de vida se altera.<br />
<br />
Ainda a tentar <span style="font-family: inherit;">apanhar</span> o comboio certo, quero apenas transmitir que não tenho intenção de abandonar este meu cantinho, que tanta companhia me fez e tantas coisas boas me trouxe.<br />
<br />
Olá!! ♡<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: inherit;">After 3 months without writing a single post, it seems like I've unlearned to communicate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: inherit;">There's no overly complicated explanations to offer, my analysis is pretty simple: </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: inherit;">My life has changed so much in the past year that I find myself dealing with some inner difficulties managing the style I was used to offer here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: inherit;">It's not an excuse, but it helps put into perspective, thinking that I'm not the only one, and that there're many other bloggers going through this same state of "permanent pause" whenever their lifestyle changes.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-kerning: none;">Chegou a hora de fazer o balanço de mais um ano, a terminar. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-kerning: none;">Gosto da sensação de olhar para ele, agora, como se planasse sobre uma floresta. Tudo me parece muito mais fácil, lógico e interessante do que quando me encontrava no meio do matagal, em que a sensação era antes a de uma minúscula formiga, a tentar chegar, sã e salva, ao formigueiro com a sua migalha de pão. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-kerning: none;">Lembro-me das dúvidas e receios antes da partida. Lembro-me da sensação de murro no estômago, nos primeiros meses da minha adaptação. Lembro-me do momento em que tudo isso se dissipou. Lembro-me da amarga sensação de me sentir esquecida, e da doce sensação de cada uma das casualidades que foram fazendo dos nossos dias, os dias cheios de luz que são hoje. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-kerning: none;">A distância, que era a maior dificuldade que 2016 apresentava, tem sido afinal, uma oportunidade muito frutífera. Sem o peso do meu passado, as pessoas de sempre e as expectativas criadas sobre mim, é muito mais fácil levar a cabo mudanças estruturais, que elevam o meu estado de consciência superior, nesta caminhada interna - que nunca está acabada - e que eu não sei viver, sem fazer.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-kerning: none;"><i>Começar de novo,</i> parece fazer parte do meu <i>karma. </i>E eu tenho aprendido que tal não é necessariamente mau. Metaforicamente falando, começar de novo é quase como acordar após um furacão, aprende-se a viver com o que, e/ou com quem, escolheu permanecer conosco, a vida é caótica por momentos, mas ganha contornos muito mais harmoniosos a médio e longo prazo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-kerning: none;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-kerning: none;">Tudo está certo, tudo faz sentido.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-kerning: none;">Desejo para mim, como para todos vós, que 2017 seja terno, meigo, sábio e cheio de momentos felizes. Que saibamos encontrar a luz da alegria mesmo nos momentos mais infelizes. </span></div>

Este ano o pai natal vai ter direito a um pratinho com leite e bolachas feito pelo Salvador (com a ajuda da mamã, claro).<br />
Quero muito cultivar a sua imaginação. Tenho o plano estudado, e estou a torcer para que seja mais bem sucedido do que o do ano passado.<br />

Para abraçar a fase que percorremos, este ano, optei por fazer as lembranças de natal com inspiração árabe, e assim levar até aos meus amigos e família, um pouco destes sabores exóticos.<br />
Eu nem era muito apreciadora de tâmaras, até provar estas, que viram vicio nada mais provar a primeira. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ingredientes: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- amêndoa pelada</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- tâmaras </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- chocolate </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- côco ralado</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Modo de preparação:</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tostar ligeiramente a amêndoa no forno, deixar arrefecer.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Retirar o caroço às tâmaras e colocar uma amêndoa em cada uma.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Passar por chocolate derretido em banho maria e finalmente pelo côco ralado.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Colocar no frigorifico até solidificar.</div>
</div>

A parte favorita do petiz cá de casa é a colocação da estrela no topo da árvore, e o acender das luzes - e eu confesso, que a minha também. - Há qualquer coisa no acto de o pai pegar nele ao colo e na sua expressão compenetrada que me emociona.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As nossas decorações ficaram em Portugal, desculpa perfeita, para colocar mãos à obra: as fitas foram retalhos de tecido e a estrela fiz com cartão. </div>

Um dos meus adornos favoritos da época é a grinalda de natal, que enfeita a porta dos cristãos por este mundo fora, e que convida a entrar na casa, o espirito natalício.<br />
Há imensas formas de as fazer e eu adoro todas. Se os meus olhos se perdem naquelas feitas de elementos naturais, o meu coração grita por maneiras menos danosas para o eco-sistema.<br />
<br />
Este ano e para não ferir as "susceptibilidades" locais, não me pareceu muito politicamente correcto fazer uma grinalda de Natal. Optei por uma simples e inofensiva estrela. Quem passa no corredor não se sente ofendido, e para nós, continua a carregar o simbolismo da quadra.</div>

Cada vez acho mais graça aos calendários do advento. No ano passado fiz a minha <a href="http://sofiaswhispers.blogspot.qa/2015/12/calendario-do-advento-em-3-passos.html" target="_blank">estreia</a>. Acho que se não tivesse uma criança em casa passar-me-ia ao lado, como até então, pois não fazia parte das nossas tradições. Mas tradições boas, são de se adoptar, e por isso este ano decidi fazer o nosso próprio calendário do advento.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
É sempre uma alegria acordar para ir ver o que tem a caixinha do dia.<br />
Quanto às surpresas, estou mais "pró" agora. Temos apenas actividades especiais: Ora um passeio na praia, ora um piquenique, ora o convite para um amigo vir brincar cá em casa, ora plantar uma flor, ora um bilhete para um espetáculo, etc, etc.<br />
<br />
Segue o tutorial que preparei para vocês..<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Every year I love the idea of the advent calendar more and more.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I made my <a href="http://sofiaswhispers.blogspot.qa/2015/12/calendario-do-advento-em-3-passos.html" target="_blank">debut</a> last year. I'm sure that If it wasn't for the child in the house, I wouldn't care much about it, as before, since it wasn't part of our traditions. But good traditions, are to be adopted, and so this year I decided to make our own advent calendar.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">It is always a huge joy to wake up in the morning seeking for what's in the tiny box.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">As for the surprises, I'm a bit more professional now. We only have special activities: A walk in the beach, a picnic, inviting a friend </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">over </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">to play, </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">a ticket for a show, </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">planting a flower, etc, etc.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Here's the tutorial I prepared for you.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pintar as tampas, e numerar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Paint the covers, and draw the numbers.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
A razão pela qual deixei a tela em branco foi porque quero decalcar a mão do S a cada dia de Reis, no fecho do ciclo da quadra, e assim ficar com a sua evolução sempre no mesmo dia. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The reason why I left the painting canvas in blank was because I want to decal S's hand every Epiphany day, and so have his evolution on the same day.</span></div>

O Natal está a aproximar-se a uma velocidade "anormal". Sinto que fiz ainda muito pouco daquilo que tinha planeado e vivo na ilusão de que as próximas 3 semanas serão duplamente mais produtivas.<br />
<br />
Entrar no espírito da quadra, vivendo no Médio Oriente, requer muita força de vontade. Não há meninos Jesus nas palhinhas deitado, ruas cintilantes, pinheiros decorados em cada esquina, anjos e estrelas, coros de natal, montras de tirar a respiração, pais natais e neve a fingir ou a sério.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Podem, no entanto, encontrar-se artigos de natal com maior facilidade do que eu antecipava. Em muito menos quantidade, e dispostos da forma mais discreta possível, mas o que é certo é que, é muito fácil encontrar uma árvore de natal; e a nossa já está pronta, prontíssima! Luzes ligadas e estrela devidamente colocada.<br />
<br />
Este ano optei por fazer as nossas decorações para a árvore de natal em gesso.<br />
Inicialmente, planeei deixa-las assim mesmo. Nesse lindo branco. Mas depois pensei que com uma criança em casa, havia que duplicar a diversão, e decidi pinta-las.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A nossa árvore não ganhou, novamente, o prémio das decorações mais perfeitas, (havia sempre abanos a mais na mesa), mas ela diz-nos que está muito orgulhosa por carregar nos seus ramos todas essas perfeitas imperfeições.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(Podem rever as decorações handmade de anos anteriores <a href="http://sofiaswhispers.blogspot.qa/2015/12/decoracoes-de-natal-simples-e-handmade_18.html" target="_blank">aqui</a> e <a href="http://sofiaswhispers.blogspot.qa/2013/12/arvore-de-natal-cheia-de-significado.html" target="_blank">aqui</a>).<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Se ainda vão iniciar-se nos preparativos da época, deixo a ideia: Reúnam os miúdos e elevem o ordinário ao extraordinário. Construam memórias felizes com eles, é disso que trata esta quadra, afinal.</div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Christmas is approaching at an abnormal speed. I feel that I have done very little of what I had planned and I'm living with the illusion that the next 3 weeks will be double productive.</span></div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Entering in the spirit of the season, living in the Middle East, requires some willpower. There are no little Jesus, sparkling streets, shiny christmas trees in every corner, angels, stars, christmas choirs, breathtaking displays, santa claus and pretending or real snow.</span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Christmas items can, h</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">owever, </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">be found more easily than I'd anticipated. In much less quantity, and arranged as discreetly as possible, but the reality is that it is very easy to find a christmas tree. And ours is ready and steady. Lights connected and star properly placed, since last 24 of November.</span><br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">This year I decided to make our christmas tree</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> decorations</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> in plaster.</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Initially, I planed leaving them like that. In that beautiful white. But then I thought that with a toddler in the house, we had to double the fun, and decided to paint them.</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Our christmas tree hasn't won the prize, for the most perfect decorations, </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">once again,</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> (there were always too many shakings on the table), but she tells us that she's very proud to carry on her branches all these perfect imperfections.</span><br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">If you're about to start your christmas decorations, I leave you with the idea: Gather the kids together and raise the ordinary to the extraordinary. Build happy moments with them. Isn't it what this season is all about, after all? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Isabel, mais conhecida por Bela, no seu <a href="https://fairystyle.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Fairy Style</a>, foi minha colega de curso, e aquilo que a vida acabou por ir separando, a blogosfera tratou de aproximar. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Muito obrigada pelo convite, minha querida. Foi um prazer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Grata, muito grata.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
