Sometimes I wonder if I deserve so much. All the fundraising I've done so far, you've contributed more than I ever hoped for. Two of those fundraisers were completely inextricably linked. I had made it clear that it would be voluntary, depending on who wanted to contribute. And you all wanted to, and that's what motivated me to step out of my comfort zone, to allow myself more. And it's been so rewarding, on so many levels. When I wanted to buy paintings, paints, pens, pencils, and art supplies, you were there. When I had to pay an extremely high bill because I bought a motorcycle with a welded wheel, you were there. You participated in my trip, in the realization of my dream painting, from horseback riding and experiencing the culture of Minas Gerais to flying on a plane. You also contributed to my birthday and my self-care. You don't even know, but I managed to have a smooth recovery from my deviated septum surgery (which, incidentally, was on my birthday), after all, I had to take days off work. And now you're participating in my New Year's Eve celebrations. I sincerely hope that everyone who is here with me and who has contributed to any of these achievements will also receive all of this back in the form of open paths, fulfilled dreams, and lightness. Just as you have been a part of my story, may life be generous to yours as well. 💓 gratitude 💓
