Brazil did its magic on me once again.
Eight years ago, this land brought me back to life. It opened my eyes to a way of living I had never known before. A life rooted in community, truth, nature, connection and the courage to follow what makes our hearts feel truly alive.
And now Brazil called me back.
This time, to celebrate the wedding of two of my dearest friends.
To witness them honoring their love, exchanging their vows and celebrating alongside the people who have walked with them through life touched something so deep inside of me.
Bruna Bortolato & Mose I love you both so much. ❤️
Because what I witnessed was a love that reaches far beyond the union of two people.
A love that ripples into friendships, families and communities. A love that connects hearts across the world.
And all of this held by a land so incredibly rich, alive and generous.
There were moments when I simply stood in awe.
Of the beauty of nature. Of the people. Of the unexpected encounters. Of the way life seemed to weave everything together so beautifully.
Moments when I felt the presence of God so close that words could hardly describe it.
And yet, amidst all this beauty, I was also navigating some deeply challenging moments in my personal life. Moments that brought up fear, uncertainty and a tenderness in my heart that asked to be met.
And perhaps this was one of the greatest gifts of this journey. To witness, once again, how much life our hearts are capable of holding.
How joy and sorrow can exist alongside one another. How we can be touched by the deepest beauty of life while simultaneously moving through our own fears.
How joy doesn’t need to wait until everything is resolved. And how our hearts can keep expanding their capacity to meet it all.
Brazil, thank you for reminding me of the beauty of being alive. Of love that extends beyond ourselves, community that feels like family, and the presence of God woven through it all.
My heart is so full. And so deeply grateful.
