Salam Alaikum dear sisters.🌸
How are you feeling today?
Today is Friday, a day of blessings and reflection.
Let’s pause. No heavy topics today, just connection and space for the heart.
🌳✨ I’m sharing something special today: the MORENA Cards, which explore Tribal Life in the Brazilian Rainforest.
These metaphorical cards are inspired by the soulful artwork of Walde Mar de Andrade e Silva, an artist who lived among the indigenous people of the rainforest and painted their world with deep love and care. His work invites us into a peaceful way of life, where nature, community, and simplicity are at the heart of everything.
🖼️ MORENA means “place of origin” in the Xingu language, a reminder of our roots, where we come from, and what deeply connects us all.
☀️The warm colors and loving scenes speak beautifully to children and also to the child within each of us. They help us reconnect with a natural sense of wonder and belonging.
🌸 Here are some gentle questions for your heart today:
1. 🌱 When you hear “place of origin”, what comes to your mind?
What memory, a feeling, or a special place?
2. 🏕️ If you lived in a forest tribe, what part of daily life would bring you the most peace?
3. 🎨 What kind of scene would you paint to tell your daily story?
4. 🌿 What do you think modern life has forgotten that tribal life still remembers?
5. ✨ What’s one small way you can feel closer to nature in your everyday life?
🌟 Second task For the children (and the child within us all):
These cards are especially suited for children aged 5 and up, simple enough to spark imagination, yet deep enough to invite meaningful reflection.
Ask your children:
“Which picture do you like the most?
What do you think is happening in the picture?
Who are the people? What are they doing?
If you were there, what would you do or say?”** 🧒🏽🌿
Let their imagination lead. *Children often see what we overlook.*💛
And for you: Choose one card — just one!
Let your eyes and heart guide you.
🖼️ Look at the picture you feel drawn to and ask yourself:
🤍 Why did this card speak to me?
🤍 What does it remind me of?
🤍 What feelings or memories come up?
There are no right or wrong answers, just your reflections and quality time for yourself and children.
Feel free to share what touched your heart.
🕊️ Have a peaceful and blessed Friday.
Take time to connect with this group, with your family, but most importantly, take time for yourself. ✨
I know some sisters are journaling our Friday tasks and reflections, that’s a beautiful way to deepen this experience. Writing things down often brings clarity and peace.
