Nice to have a(nother) Portuguese friend :-) We actually spent one month in the Algarve last year December, looking after a holiday park. I taught one of the employees some English and studied a bit of Portuguese too.

Hi Ana, sorry for my late response. I only saw your message today :-( My name (Silva) is my husbands name. He was born in Gibraltar and one of his great great great fathers was from Portugal. My maiden name is Wildenbeest and I am Dutch. Are you…

You can find the dried cod fish in Italian or Portuguese shops. On the second recipe you can use ready made puff pastry and half the time and the work. The custard tarts are really good, when people visit Lisbon they eat them half a dozen at a time…

Here is a very traditional Portuguese dish, to represent the Portuguese community at 29 gifts.
Salt Cod Fish with cream
910 g dried salted cod fish ( 2 containers of flaked cod fish)
8 potatoes ( or more )
2 big onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves…
Dear Women
At the moment I am torn between the excitment of a new world made by people like the one at 29 gifts or the ones at Helpothers and the wars and disasters that are sweeping Mother Earth. Even though I believe we are moving towards a better world sometimes I ask myself how are we going to turn things around, and the answer some times comes in the most unexpected ways. Please watch this beautiful video. …See More

Dear Miyuki, I am pleased to know that you are safe. I believe it is time to see the people rather than the countries,
we must see the Miuyki and the Ana in each country instead the Japanese or the Portuguese. Deep inside we are all the same we…
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- Because giving makes me feel happy, it's good to make someone smile. If you make someone happy you are happy. I've been a giving human being all my life from giving away toys as a toddler to give time, books, money as an adult. I believe that we live in a fantastic moment in time in which we should count our blessings everyday and realise that in fact we own everything meaning that as a big human family we are everything belongs to everyone. Sharing what we have should be as natural as receiving, so keeping the flow is my main aim.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Anything that the Universe knows will help my mission on Earth. I have been blessed with many things at the right time so I trust the Universe and beloved Mother/Father God to give me what they think it's right to keep my family and my extended world wide family happy.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- From an email of Daily charity
- About me:
- I'm 41 years old, I am a mum and I love to give. So far I guess I am the only person living in the UK. If there is anyone out there who lives in th UK please let me know. I was born in Lisbon - Portugal married a lovely man born in Dallas - Texas - USA but he moved to the UK when he was 6. So there is a connection to the USA. I live in a lovely town - Chippenham in Wiltshire - you can find it on google earth or google maps.

It works, it really does work

It works, it really does work. Only now I was able to sit down and think about all the things that happened in the last 5 weeks. I had a very nasty ( but a great moment of learning) depressive episode during Christmas. I went as down as anyone can imagine to the point of knowing that was not me, and that I wanted my "old me" back. I did all the tricks possible, slept for hours and hours, read inspirational quotes and books, went out for walks, and nothing was working. Everything seemed dark… Continue

Family is still around they completly took over my home, I have two options get ready upset to see the house completely messy and upside down or practice the art of detachment and and patience. During the morning we visited a lovely city just 1 hour away from the place where I live. In spite of the weather we had a good time with 3 kids aged from 2 to 7 the smaller ones wanting different things, running away from us, or shouting again the art of patience was put into practice. On the way back… Continue
Day 10 - 29 Days of Giving Challenge

Had my brother-in-law visiting with two little ones, and they made me think that some times the gift of patience is a big gift. Not so much with the children but specially with the adults that sometimes can be inflexible and you need a lot of patience for example when someone decides that no matter what wants a football and I had to look for one. In the way I saw some street musicians and gave them some change and a smile card so at least looking for a football just out of the blue helped me… Continue

Today I had a very busy day as I do voluntary work for my daughter's school and spent most of the morning there in meetings with the new ead teacher and the chair of governors I think that for today that will be my giving. I hardly had time to seat and rest all day. I also convinced my 16 years old god-daughter to do a 29 giving Challenge :)
