How I did it
It made me
very accomplished. 
How I did it: I would watch the fares online, request quotes from travel agents and would save websites of my favorite places to visit. I eventually noticed that AA started a route from Miami to Salvador and bought the lowest fare I could find. Read how I did it…
It made me
Free!!!
How I did it: I read, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. This book pretty much combined a lot of things that have been stewing in my mind for quite a while. The book gave me permission to just let all of those wandering thoughts go and to live in the now. It feels really great. Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy!!
How I did it: Just snapped away. I bought 50mm lens-and it has become one of my favorites!! Basically, you can snap pictures of any little thing that you see. I took pictures of a co-workers skirt---the skirt only, flowers on my desk, lamps, lightposts, dogs paws. From there, you will feel moved to take pictures of more and more things. Read how I did it…

I sent off for my visa yesterday
11 months ago
I went on to the Brazilian Consulate website, printed out a travel visa application. Next I went to the post office and bought a money order for $140-which the Miami consulate requires with the application. I made a copy of my travel tickets purchased online, included my passport with the application, a copy of my license and 2 passport pictures and off the application went. There were a lot of little small steps, but I broke them down and it was manageable.
