Getting Out: One Expat's Journey to a New Life
Bitter political partisanship. Rampant gun violence. Racial hatred and police killings. A pandemic that took one million lives. Inflation not seen in decades. A perfect storm of events that converged to create the phenomenon sweeping the nation - The Great American Exodus. When remote work became all the rage and countries worldwide began offering incentives to relocate, countless Americans realized the big move they'd dreamed of might actually be doable. As one of those who took the plunge, Bastos chronicles her road to retirement in Italy, from conception to moving day to finding her comfort zone, all in the midst of a pandemic. She shares her checklists, headaches and horror stories, successes and pleasant surprises along the way. Getting Out will provide encouragement, wisdom, helpful hints and warnings to aspiring expats everywhere. While the journey is not for the faint of heart, Bastos assures us it is indeed doable. And, with proper planning and preparation, it will be worth every step.
A Steadfast Spirit
A riveting account of one missionary's great African adventure. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be transported to a far-off land. Poignant personal detail and vivid imagery let you journey with Bastos from America to the interior mountains of Angola and back. The life lessons shared as Christian values are put to the test make for a priceless education. An easy read, introspective and honest, this volume enables the reader to confront some of life's toughest questions - and discover their surprising answers. Tackling issues of morality and self-discipline, pride and prejudice, this work is not only a great introduction to the world of missions, but offers precious gems of understanding to the layperson negotiating the challenging byways of life.
A Life Alone
Countless people walk through this life alone. Even in a crowded room or a house full of family members, they are somehow alone. Never really knowing why they're not quite plugged in to the masses, many are searching for answers and finding none, or trying to fit in but finding they cannot. The loner's life may be little more than a feeling or an inclination, but it can make for a unique lifestyle of creativity and innovation, original thoughts and ideas. A Life Alone is affirmation for those who march to their own drumbeat. It is a breath of fresh air for those who wonder if there are others out there like them. The loner's life, presented here as another brand of normal, will be better understood, more readily accepted, and even appealing. Carla Bastos' walk through her own life alone ranks with the likes of Anne Lamott and Elizabeth Gilbert. Her brave, hilarious account will encourage many that, popular opinion notwithstanding, after all is said and done-it's okay.
Loving
In a world of natural disaster, social unrest and personal tragedy, the "love thy neighbor" concept has been all but lost in the shuffle. We each have so many issues of our own, there's little time to be concerned with anyone else's. Sensitivity to the needs of others and caring enough to do something about them are traits whose extinction we must not allow. It is indeed possible to juggle life's challenges and still make a difference beyond our own little world. It is possible to be politically correct and still do the right thing. The willingness to find out how is called "Loving." In this little book, the fundamentals of love are shown from the smallest reaches to the global impact. As war and genocide rage, colleagues, communities and even governments will be motivated to take the first step - and not let love, the core of our being, die out.
The Walk
Forrest Gump's mom prepared her son for the road ahead by explaining that life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get. So, too, is our Christian walk. There's no way to know what's around the next corner. But, there are ways to prepare -- to expect the unexpected and not be caught unawares. No matter where you are in your journey, The Walk will help you to navigate even the craggiest paths with sure footing. You'll learn to make the most of the ups and downs, the layers, flavors, and colors, the in-your-face disasters and pleasant, subtle nuances that make up this great adventure known as the Christian walk. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Carla Bastos is a freelance writer and former missionary. Having traveled the world and written extensively about her journeys, she says her walk has been many things, but never dull. Carla holds degrees in Christian Education and Christian Counseling, and makes her home in New Mexico.

Poesia Minimalista
Este livro surgiu a partir de material coletado em um concurso literário, desenvolvido por nós, da Toma Aí Um Poema, através da proposta minimalista. Nós solicitamos que os autores enviassem poemas minimalistas, referindo-se às questões da estética do movimento e não à poética do minimalismo. Portanto, a seleção deveria partir do ponto de que a poesia minimalista se apoia na economia de palavras e classes gramaticais, por meio de uma organização sintática enxuta, composta pelo mínimo possível de sintagmas; mas que, ao recorrer ao mínimo, revela com elegância e impacto la crème de la crème de la poésie contemporaine. Contudo, não foi isso o que aconteceu exatamente. O ...
