Founder of AMOR Association (Aide Mondiale Orphelins Réconfort), supermodel and actress, ambassador of the Pasteur Institute, Tasha de Vasconcelos was born in Beira, in Mozambique.

At 13 she and her family moved first to Portugal, and then on to Canada.

With a natural generosity, Tasha has always had a heart for helping and supporting others. She has been to many […]

Time takes away everything...

after five years, I came back to same place to have an exhibition. Nothing change, but I changed, people changed.  Sure, my paintings are changing.  I am feeling much more stronger and confident deep in heart. 

Time takes away everything and there are few valuable things in life.

Such as family, friends, children, nice people...Don't worry, be happy. We merit live and live well.

Live with love, time changes love too.  Love could be bigger and bigger, not just about one woman and a man, you will love more and more people and you will feel […]

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
Coral is far more red than her lips' red,
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun,
If hairs be wires, black wires grow upon her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks,
And in some perfumes is there more delight,
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak: yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound,
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress, when […]

Guilt is one of the most destructive emotions in which we can get caught. If we have wronged another, or gone against our own truth, then of course we will feel bad. But to let ourselves be overwhelmed with guilt is to invite a migraine. We end up surrounded by nagging clouds of self-doubt and feelings of worthlessness to the point where we cannot see any of the beauty and joy that life is trying to offer us. We all long to be better people, more loving, more aware, more true to ourselves. But when we punish ourselves for our […]

It is necessary to share love. How can it be another way. Love is delicate, is a flower, water is needed, affection and attention are needed, light is needed, future and projects are needed. That's the beauty in love, you can't take things for granted. Everyday is a new adventure. Compassion, trust, intelligence, heart. My beauty is radiant.

Have you find the right love? No matter who, when, you will know it. Be confident, if it is not here, it will come. Then you will know the importance of sharing love. It is the most important thing on earth, and […]

It's fun to use emoticons to express oneself emotions! Those textual facial expressions show your responder how you feel in posts, web forums, emails, instant messengers and other forms of communication using computers and mobile devices.

Emoticons, is a blend of the words emotion and icon. Scott Elliott Fahlman from the Carnegie Mellon University posted this original message on the early internet in 1982:

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 

---------- "Psalms" 23:2

Words to live by....

 
  “People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

  If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

  If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

  If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

  What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight,

Build anyway.

Yunus Emre (1240?–1321?) was an Anatolian Turkish poet and sufi mystic. He is well known for his simple style and Yunus Emre exercised immense influence on Turkish literature until now. He once said "Too many words are fit for a beast or burden". His message is full of love and humanism in the poem below.

I am not here on earth for strife,

Love is the mission of my life.

I love you in dephts beyond my soul.

Come, let us all be friends for once,

Let us make life easy on us,

Let us be lovers and […]

I mean love. Taking care of the other. Feeling in peace. Receiving attention from the other, a phone call. I mean love is feeding me, healing me, making me laugh. I am so grateful.

Enjoy this love poem:

It's amazing how I feel when I'm around you,
How my heart pounds when you come into a room.
I look at you and think: My God! How lovely!
And everything I am bursts into bloom.

I feel as though you must, you must be mine,
Not as a possession but a goal,
Something almost unimaginable:
The free […]

I can not live without music!

I can't live without art and writing...

I can't live without confidence,

I can't live without love,

I can not live without God.

Yes!.........

With all these reasons,

I am addicated by Living !

Remember, the seed is never in danger. The seed is absolutely protected. The plant is very soft and the plant is in danger. The seed is like a stone hidden behind a hard crust. But the plant has to pass through a thousand and one hazards. Not all plants are going to attain to that height where they can bloom into flowers, a thousand and one flowers...

Few human beings attain the stage of the flower. Why is that? It is because of greed, because of miserliness. It happens when people are not ready to share... because of a […]

It's time for a fair world, a sharing one. Survival is the name of the game! The earth will stay forever, humans will not. It's time to respect life and to reach a new consciousness. Money or love, to have or to feel good, it is the necessary adaptation. Human beings are loosing their ability to be happy and in good health in a polluted environment.

Man is just not the King on earth! Nature has no border. Air, water, earth are there for everyone. It's time for the cooperative world.

Those words all mean "FAIR": huachinaga, tabla, kawengdyé, equo, […]

Because you are not accidental, existence needs you. Otherwise something will be missing and that's your dignity, that the whole existence will miss you. The stars, the sun, the moon, the trees, the birds, the earth and everything in the universe will feel that a small place is now empty. A space which cannot be filled by anybody except you.

This gives you a tremendous joy, a fulfillment that you are related to existence and existence also cares for you. Once you are clean and clear, you can see tremendous love falling on you from all dimensions.

It […]

Love is Love and is here to stay. It's all what we need. Vital energy and harmony. It is the greatest music possible which enable us to consciously express feelings and emotions.

"Yes, it is an incredible and unforgettable experience that fills me with happiness and peace", she said.

• How to say "i love you"?

Everyday is a good day to declare your love. Heaven and earth are bridged by love. It is peaceful and there is no desire to change the other. It is the birth of a higher more loving experience. It is the birth of a love that is truly unconditional, without expectations or demands.

A new life can start today. Whatever you have learned from your own life experience, it is now time to say "I love You".

Don't hesitate. Gor for it, whether it is to fully express yourself, to innovate, to create with some aesthetic value objects, paintings, sculptures, to find a new job, to meet new people, to experience thoughts, to live your dreams. Make your life be a love experience. Raise your hands to the ceiling.

No matter who you are, what you do, there is still something that make us all the same, you, me too, everybody: we need somebody to love. Like it is said in the Blues Brothers song.

Enjoy! Love is life. Love is about WHO YOU ARE.

How do we feel about each other?

What does it mean: sex, love and compassion?

Is it the goal of life or simply the way life goes? First sex, then love and finally compassion!

What last longer? Sex, love or compassion!

What makes us more human? Sex, love or compassion!

What makes us more clever and then active? Sex, love or compassion!

Beyond sexuality, we can experience love. This love is freedom, a sharing love, and guides us towards universal love: compassion. Our capacity for sex, our ability for love, let us feel compassion!

All is then being like One.

First of all, many researchers separate feeling and emotion, where feeling is the subjective experience of the emotion. Some believe that emotions happen unconsciously, and hence that emotion is a much more general phenomenon than its subjective feeling. Feelings may also refer to the experience of bodily changes.

Some theorists argue that some emotions can be caused without any thoughts at all. They point immediate reactions. Debate on this point represents a major distinction between what are called cognitive theories and non cognitive theories of emotions. Non cognitive theories regard bodily responses to be essential.

A second distinction focuses […]
