Portuguese gallerist Duarte Sequeira “My father was a doctor dissatisfied with his career and found joy in collecting antiques,” he told Artsy they turned that passion into a gallery in the year that I was born.” Now at the helm of the family-founded gallery—which has locations in Braga Portugal; London; and Seoul—Sequeira is quickly earning global recognition channelling his curatorial vision into spaces that resonate with both local and international communities establishing a reputation as a pioneering art space in a region that contained few comparable contemporary art galleries or museums It might have seemed inevitable that Sequeira would follow in his father’s footsteps but the journey wasn’t a foregone conclusion “I wanted to carve out my own path,” he said reflecting on his desire to explore new opportunities beyond Braga before eventually returning to his family’s gallery with a renewed vision “I moved to London in 2014 to explore the institutional side of the art world Portugal didn’t have the vibrant artist communities or institutions I craved so I wanted to learn and bring that energy back to Braga.” The experience in London proved invaluable when he returned in 2017 to take over the gallery aiming to balance showcasing internationally renowned artists with supporting emerging talent,” he said but it’s also a space for experimentation and community engagement.” installation view of “Target” at Duarte Sequeira Braga a London-based emerging artist whose large-scale paintings captured the fleeting These were shown with London-based photographer Luca Brown’s photographs of the Garrison a collection of historic buildings surrounding a prominent horse racing track in Barbados grounding it in a specific place with a rich history and a tight-knit

world Petra CortrightFlowers with Color 2, 2023Duarte SequeiraStefania BatoevaFor a handful of words, 2023Duarte SequeiraSince taking over the space, Sequeira has quickly earned new audiences and fresh international recognition for the family (it was celebrated as a gallery experiencing a breakout year by Artsy in 2023) Expansion was quickly placed on Sequiera’s agenda with the gallery’s roots in Braga posing an ideal launchpad it was hard to get locals to understand what we were doing,” Duarte noted and the unexpectedness is part of the gallery’s charm For both people within the art world and those who stumble upon it Braga offers a setting that’s completely different from urban art scenes.” “The new space in Seoul’s Hannam neighborhood is perfect,” Sequeira said with two exhibition areas and an outdoor terrace for sculpture projects It allows us to connect cultures and bring fresh perspectives to our programming.” The curatorial approach remains consistent across all spaces with a shared focus on presenting emerging and established artists though each location slightly adapts to cater to its distinct audience installation view at Duarte Sequeira Braga Sequeira is focused on consolidating the gallery’s existing locations with no immediate plans for further expansion his ambitions for the gallery’s future are clear “I want the gallery to be influential—not just locally I want it to be recognized as a space that left a meaningful mark on the art world.” To achieve this, the gallery will continue to build on a program that spans established and emerging artists. “For me, diversity is essential—whether in medium, age, gender, or perspective,” Sequeira explained. “It’s challenging but exciting to strike that balance.” A recent trip to Korea, for instance, inspired him to explore connections between generations of artists. “I met incredible Dansaekhwa artists in their seventies “Their consistent work contrasts beautifully with the exploratory energy of younger artists.” As he consolidates the gallery’s presence in two of the art world’s major cities Sequeira is keen to stress that his roots in Braga remain at the heart of the gallery’s mission the cost and pace of life allow us to focus on creating meaningful programs,” he said “Artists love working in this unique environment which enriches their creative processes and their interactions with collectors.” San Bernardino County Health Officer Michael A Sequeira has announced that he will retire on Nov who joined the department in November 2020 has had a profound impact on public health in

I’m a born-and-raised South Londoner (repping that SE18!) And a proud Taurus (though I’m not too stubborn…)
 Describe your life in one word or a sentence …Wanted to just write HECTIC (because it is!) but I will say blessed; grateful to be doing what I do and have the people I have around me Why did you want to follow this career path of becoming a multi-hyphenate creative?I was always that child growing up who would write stories and put on plays for my family My mum was great in that she encouraged that (even got me a video camera one birthday) I always knew I wanted to work in storytelling of some kind I originally went to university thinking I would specialise in directing but then discovered screenwriting which I never considered would be a career path (despite writing my first screenplay as a 9-year-old which was a blatant rip-off of The Fifth Element) but still have ambitions to direct something I’ve written one day Feeling very lucky to have had my first original series release this year There were many years of grinding and getting rejections – and that doesn’t stop just because I have a show now Though I’d like to think it’s easier to get into rooms with people now and have my ideas heard Where’d the story of Domino Day come from?Out of my love for the supernatural genre – I grew up on Buffy: The Vampire Diaries We don’t do supernatural shows often here in the UK it’s a story about identity and owning your truth (including the dark parts of ourselves) and it speaks to my own journey – one I think many women go through – of finding and owning your power; learning to be comfortable in your skin And an off-shoot of that is that’s also a story about connection; how we learn to connect to others when we might not be happy with ourselves Despite the apps and pressure to find romance It also looks at dating in relation to that; and is definitely a commentary on my exasperation with the apps What’s been the most significant project of your career to date?Definitely Domino Day it’s often based on IP and an existing book series I’m particularly proud of this one because I built the rules of the world from the ground up I also think Gangs of London was significant – I wrote on the first two series and it definitely raised my profile to other commissioners – here in the UK and the US Why was now the right time to apply/be submitted for BAFTA Breakthrough?Having just had a show come out but still building my confidence as a showrunner I thought it would be the right time to apply This initiative gives me the chance to meet lots of people in the industry – whose careers I admire and who could advise me on the next steps I should take with my own What was the first thing you did when you found out you are part of this year’s BAFTA Breakthrough Cohort?I told my agent (who was the only person I could tell!) 
 What does it mean to be recognised by BAFTA and what are you hoping to gain from the experience?BAFTA is at the pinnacle of our creative industry so it means the world to get recognition from them I’m hoping to gain more industry connections and lots of advice about what the next steps in my career should be – particularly with directing Which of your peers would you recommend for next year’s BAFTA Breakthrough cohort?Nathaniel Price We came up together – both doing the BBC Pilot scheme back in 2017 – and I’m so proud of what he’s achieved in his writing; Mr Loverman is a beautiful adaptation Tell us about a challenging moment during your career that you had to dig deep to get through.Definitely losing my voice and confidence at times When the notes and many other voices become loud I really had to dig deep to find my own again – particularly as these are stories that are coming from me TV is very collaborative and I’m a collaborative writer who welcomes notes – but I’ve got better at pushing back on the ones that don’t work for me (while also giving reasons!) 
 What’s next?Waiting to see if there’ll be a potential second series for Domino Day and getting my other projects off the ground How do we keep up to date with you and your work?My agency profile though I still use it when building my characters The sad and mad can be the same thing: Trump getting re-elected… Some of the things he’s already been saying really make me sad for the rights of women and trans folk But what made me glad was seeing my niece and nephew after 3 weeks – they were so excited to see me I’m watching Slow Horses (I was slow to the party) and really enjoying it I’m also watching MAFS (Married at First Sight) UK A book for a potential adaptation (which I sadly can’t share) I’m about to dig into the second book of Tomi Adeyemi’s Legacy of Orisha series (Children of Virtue & Vengeance) – really loved the first book A Face in the Crowd – a musical that looked at the misuse of stardom There’s a lot of American politics in it as well and watched it on US election night – was very poignant Was also showing up in support of one of its leads Anoushka Lucas who is another amazing multi-hyphenate creative Was so honoured for Domino Day to get a special mention in one episode Mainly Instagram (lalasequeira) but I do share some work stuff on X/Twitter (LL_Sequeira) Domino Day is currently on BBC iPlayer and Gangs of London has recently moved to Netflix BAFTA Breakthrough is supported by Netflix some international galleries expand in Seoul Esther Schipper move to expanded spaces in Hannam-dong; Massimodecarlo represents Korean artist Hejum Ba Despite the prevailing cautious atmosphere in the Korean art scene amid the country's political turmoil and economic slowdown some international galleries are pushing ahead with proactive decisions -- expanding their spaces and choosing to represent Korean artists here which opened its space in Seoul in 2022 in Gangnam-gu opening its doors to the public on Thursday “This expansion marks a significant milestone in our journey reflecting our dedication to engaging with Seoul’s vibrant art scene,” said Duarte Sequeira “By establishing our presence in this energetic neighborhood we aim to offer visitors a more comprehensive experience of our artists and programs fostering deeper connections within Seoul’s art community.” Since the opening of its Seoul branch in September 2022 it has introduced a diverse range of artists to Korea through 15 exhibitions and projects The previous space was located on the second floor of Yoo Hyun-joon Architecture Office in Gangnam-gu said they found the neighborhood to be ideal for meeting collectors located between two other art clusters in Seoul -- Cheongdam-dong and Samcheong-dong The first exhibition at the new space is “fresh floral ice milk soft blue bruise,” which brings together a new series of digital paintings by American artist Petra Cortright Italian gallery Massimodecarlo announced Thursday it will represent Korean artist Hejum Ba making her the first Korean artist the gallery has signed since opening its Seoul studio in Gangnam-gu last year Ba is the second Korean artist to join the gallery’s roster following Yee Soo-kyung Massimodecarlo will present three of the artist’s paintings at the upcoming Art Basel Hong Kong The gallery showcased Ba’s first solo exhibition at Massimodecarlo Hong Kong in 2024 “Hejum’s paintings are not mere random arrangements of lines and color fields they represent a meticulous dissection and abstraction of the peculiarities of our contemporary experiences … Hejum Ba looks and listens at what surrounds her the seeming schizophrenia of modern life is neither foreign nor bizarre but rather a familiar muse,” the gallery noted on her works shown at the Hong Kong exhibition last year European gallery Esther Schipper launched its project space in 2022 in Itaewon-dong and recently moved to Hannam-dong in February as a new gallery space better suited to large-scale exhibitions Its move to invest in the Seoul gallery is part of its efforts to continue its commitment to the Korean art scene as a gallery that was engaged with the art scene for over a decade before it had a physical space “The remarkable and rapid ascent of Seoul as a global art hub has been fascinating and a privilege to be part of,” said Esther Schipper “We have observed that the Korean art market is dynamic and highly engaged with a strong appreciation for both established and emerging contemporary art There is an increasing openness to experimental and interdisciplinary practices which resonates with our gallery’s program and vision.” the gallery runs spaces in Berlin and Paris The plan to unify the candidacies of conservative People Power Party presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo and former

Sequeira, a retired airline pilot and avid bird photographer, is hesitant to impress symbolism on to the pictures. “It’s quite a coincidence that it should have happened at this time. And I’m not entirely surprised. I like to look at things from the naturalist point of view and from the wildlife photographer’s point of view and not put a spin on it. But it’s quite natural for people to look at it in the context of what’s happening,” he said. Certainly others see the fight as representing Canada’s scrappy nature and its unwillingness to back away when threatened. “Nature has its way of taking out the weak and the not so well and the injured. The eagle likely thought it would be able to take it out quite easily,” Sequeira said. “But, it wasn’t.” COSTA RICA'S LEADING ENGLISH LANGUAGE NEWSPAPER His name became known after shining against Brazil, but from the pedestal, he went on to eat dust against Colombia. Costa Rican goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira, in charge of the complicated task of replacing Keylor Navas, is having a Copa América of contrasts. Very few referenced his name before the start of the world’s oldest national team tournament. But most knew that the Ticos were on the hunt for Navas’ substitute, who retired from the national team and is considered the best Costa Rican footballer in history. “He’s a young guy, with a lot of potential, he can have that opportunity to consolidate himself and has the conditions to be a national team goalkeeper,” Navas, 37, without a club after leaving PSG, blessed him in a recent interview with a Costa Rican media outlet. Custodian of UD Ibiza, from the Spanish third division, Sequeira, 25, presented himself on a high note with four saves that thwarted Brazil’s attack (0-0) of Vinicius Jr on Monday in Inglewood, Los Angeles. He was chosen as the best player of the match in his Copa América debut and in his sixth match as an international. “I dreamed it, I imagined it. And, well, thank God it became a reality,” Sequeira told TUDN network after the debut, in which he kept his goal at zero for the fourth consecutive match, including a clash against an alternate Uruguay squad under Marcelo Bielsa. His saves profiled him as a pillar of a very defensive Costa Rica – they haven’t made a single direct shot on goal in two matches – along with defenders Jeyland Mitchell, Juan Pablo Vargas, and captain Francisco Calvo. But the fairy tale had an abrupt interruption when they encountered the unstoppable Colombia of James Rodríguez and Luis Díaz on Friday in the hot Glendale, Arizona. Although he had a solid start, saving a dangerous left-footed shot from the ’10’, he made an error in the 27th minute that broke his team’s lock. He came out clumsily from the small area trying to contain an attack by Jhon Córdoba, who seemed controlled by Calvo. But he ended up knocking down the striker and causing a penalty, converted by Díaz for the 1-0. “In this kind of matches, errors are paid dearly. The goalkeeper had saved us in that circumstance (James’ shot), but mistakes cannot be made,” questioned Costa Rica’s coach, Gustavo Alfaro. After the goal from the Liverpool star came two more goals, from center-back Davinson Sánchez (59) and Córdoba (62), sealing a result that leaves the Central Americans with little chance of advancing to the quarter-finals in their sixth Copa América. After the early qualification of the Colombians, they will fight with slim chances for the remaining ticket from Group D with the ‘Canarinha’, who crushed Paraguay 4-1 on Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada. The pass looks very unlikely for a Costa Rica that landed in the United States with the youngest squad in the tournament and the maximum objective of giving playing time to the new generation. Alfaro repeats that in the American competition he seeks answers, and one of them is related to Sequeira’s future, who left very young from Deportivo Saprissa in San José to youth teams and third division clubs in Spain. “He’s at a good age, but he needs to give another dimension to his career,” said the Argentine before the Cup debut, about the urgency for the goalkeeper to gain experience in higher category clubs. Aware of the weight of replacing the former Real Madrid goalkeeper, one of the heroes of the historic participation in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where they fell in the quarter-finals, Alfaro has tried to avoid loading Sequeira and the other ‘1’ aspirants “with greater responsibilities than there are.” “The goalkeeper issue is not a minor issue,” he maintained. “We are working on the psychological and mental part of those coming up, but they don’t have to compete with that figure because Keylor was our Messi, the most emblematic player of our national team.” Share via...Gift this articleSubscribe to gift this article Gift 5 articles to anyone you choose each month when you subscribe A bet on Fortescue when the iron ore miner was in deep trouble is one of the proudest moments of fund manager Sean Sequeira’s career It was early 2016 and Fortescue had just posted its earnings result SaveLog in or Subscribe to save articleShareCopy link Gift 5 articles to anyone you choose each month when you subscribe.

Aarti Sequeira: What we do in the kitchen is important to God Jesus says that He’s preparing a table for us in heaven and I just think about what that feast will look like I think God wants to communicate to us that as vital as food and drink feels to us Narrator: Welcome to the Jesus Calling Podcast like there’s nothing really special about us But much like a chef skillfully combines ingredients to create the perfect recipe and talents to give us all a one-of-a-kind design.  It took a special teacher to see the spark of talent he had and though he would continue to struggle with feeling forgotten and alone an encounter with God at church turned his world around After we hear Aarti’s and Darnell’s stories, be sure to stay with us until the end of the show for a special reading from Reba McEntire herself, straight from her new audiobook, Not That Fancy.  Aarti: My name is Aarti Sequeira I have lived a lot of lives thus far.  So I was born in India in what’s called Mumbai today, but will always be Bombay to me. I was born in India, I grew up in Dubai in the Middle East which is why I still have a little bit of an accent.  And so that means that I have always felt like I was on the outside looking in because India is a country that is primarily Hindu and Muslim And the Christians and the Catholics—although they have a very long history there—they’re very small we have our own marriage traditions.  I’ve always felt like I don’t quite fit in here But the beautiful thing about that is that I think it put in me this heart of wanting to connect with people finding something in common with them so that we could feel connected finding something in common with them so that we could feel connected.” – Aarti Sequeira There were two little pretend games that I played when I was very little One of them was a cooking show host and the other was a news presenter that sort of set the course for my life in that I didn’t know what would happen.  And so I knew that I wanted to do that.  and I got the incredible opportunity to work at CNN straight out of school I’m Indian.” That’s the order I would have gone in.  I had fallen in love with a gent named Brendan when we were still at university together and I’d gone on to New York and I was working and being really successful because news is everywhere and he can go off to his dream and I can go off to mine Fast forward a few months and I still hadn’t been able to find work and I was kind of starting to question whether I even wanted to be a journalist anymore I started to feel really worthless because my identity was so wrapped up in achieving professionally and being a journalist And so now once that was taken away from me I would sometimes wake up in the morning and go “I don’t even know the point of my life.” “I started to feel really worthless because my identity was so wrapped up in achieving professionally and being a journalist I felt like a failure.” – Aarti Sequeira  We started going to church where the pastor was talking about God in a way I had never considered before as a being that was all-powerful and all-knowing but also all-loving and the epitome of kindness and who was so in love with me that He wanted to know me and wanted me to know Him and wanted me to know my identity first and foremost as His daughter I’d always loved food and I’d always loved watching cooking shows and reading recipes and baking Trying to connect my Boston/Irish/German husband and the food that he was into with the food of L.A. with the things that I had grown up with and feeling really muddled about my own identity in that moment the thing that really changed the game was starting to pray before I cooked please make this good.” But then it became I’m walking in here with a burden,” “God and I just need you to meet me in this place.” And it just took the mundane drudgery of that moment and turned it into something sacred and it turned that sticky kitchen floor into holy ground And I felt like God would teach me and meet me in the slicing of the vegetables the sizzling of the garlic and those things “I am Creator and you are made in my image “I felt like God would teach me and meet me in the slicing of the vegetables ‘I am Creator and you are made in my image this is you acting out of me.’” – Aarti Sequeira How you approach the kitchen is kind of how you can approach the rest of your life If you can take something that feels as mundane as cooking every evening and find the sacred tucked into that then you’re going to find it when you do the laundry when you’re dealing with a difficult situation when you’re dealing with a difficult person because that’s really what our life is all about the kitchen became this place of real sanctuary for me a place where the chaos of my life could turn into order where I could take a mess of ingredients and turn them into something beautiful It really sort of took me over.” – Aarti Sequeira  I interned—we call it staging—at a really great restaurant in L.A. under an incredible female chef named Suzanne Goen I was taking the spices I had grown up with and trying to figure out a way to put them into green beans and lasagna and pasta sauce and things like that and I think that’s kind of how my particular way of cooking came around.  you get your own cooking show.” And I kicked and screamed and said there’s absolutely no way I’ll be humiliated on national television.” But God had other ideas the Lord saw it fit to see me all the way to the finale and give me the win and that was the beginning of this brand new career.  especially at a time when the schism is getting bigger and bigger and the divisions are nastier and more deeply cut the one thing we can all agree on is Are you hungry it doesn’t have to be something super fancy And I want people to recognize that when they are in any way impressed by anything I’m saying or doing or cooking or creating “I want people to recognize that when they are in any way impressed by anything I’m saying or doing or cooking or creating If you knew who I was before the Lord took me I was unremarkable.” – Aarti Sequeira   One of my favorite dishes to make people is French onion soup You slice it just the right way with a sharp knife and the Lord will slice things away You introduce it to heat and fat and suddenly it starts to caramelize and suddenly it turns into something sweet And then you add chicken broth and beef broth and vinegar and maybe a touch of sugar and suddenly it’s this gorgeous bowl of soup that crowning glory of cheesy bread is really what makes it amazing but let’s just say that that’s the Holy Spirit And so I think the reason that I talk about the Lord is because I see everything through His eyes as much as I’m able to in my sort of fallen But also because I don’t want anybody to mistake anything that I’m doing to be my doing This is completely God working through me and working through me to call people unto Himself.  I’ve had some of the best conversations with people eating tuna salad and crackers The very basic nature of sitting elbow to elbow with someone and talking to them face to face is something that our soul is actually aching for and we’re malnourished because we’re not spending enough time with each other face to face I remember telling my daughters—I have two daughters So can you imagine what happens when you’re sitting around a table and eating and talking for an hour What that does for you—even if you’re sitting around for an hour and disagreeing with each other Son and Holy Spirit and loves to be in relationship with those three we’re meant to be living in constant relationship with each other.  “The very basic nature of sitting elbow to elbow with someone and talking to them face to face is something that our soul is actually aching for.” – Aarti Sequeira  so grateful that I have this filter of Jesus that I look at the whole world and I just have so much compassion for people because of that.  and I just have so much compassion for people because of that.” – Aarti Sequeira  I think I used to feel like my having quiet time everyday with God needed to look very elaborate I can get a little carried away with that stuff And so that means I wasn’t doing it every day I don’t know how this came about exactly I set a timer for five minutes and I just feel like God did so much work in those five minutes on me and just reminded me This is from Jesus Listens I want to let Scripture saturate my mind and heart so I can walk steadily along the path of Life with You Your Word tells me that I need not fear though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea Although I don’t know what will happen tomorrow I can be absolutely sure of my ultimate destination Narrator: To

of the Oklahoma-style truths that guide her life and be sure to check out the audiobook version read by Reba herself!  Our next guest is author and professional chef, Darnell Ferguson Darnell’s growing up years were challenging at best and the only thing that gave him hope for something better were the cooking shows he watched on TV It took a special teacher to recognize that Darnell was something special but it would be years before he would be able to see that potential in himself.  Darnell Ferguson: I am Superchef Darnell Ferguson which really dominated my perception of life My mom made sure she took care of everything I grew up seeing somebody do some amazing things in my life “What did you dream of?” I just dreamed of being somewhere else but my passion for cooking came from watching TV.  A lot of times people [that] grow up in the inner city, they want to be like what they see on TV because they really never see anything else. So I ended up watching Food Network and watching Emeril on TV do Emeril Live I connected with him in a way I don’t know why or how and that’s really where the passion came from.  I went to vocational school because I was interested in cooking enough that I figured Getting in that class and this teacher that we had she was so kind and she was so patient and she was everything I had never seen in my life.  I remember when she asked me to do the knife skills test where I had to practice and show what my skill level was And she asked me if I ever held a knife before ain’t no way nobody in the world gonna give me no knife,” you know I need you to make these knife cuts like this.” And they give you a little board with every single knife cut on it And I had no idea how to get to these shapes.  When she came back and she saw my knife cuts “How long have you been doing this for?” And I’m like “I’ve never done this before.” She said you got the knife skills of somebody who’s been doing it for thirty years.” And I look back on it now it makes me sad because no one ever did anything Most people never saw anything special in me so nobody ever called me nothing.  I’m glad that she gave me something that I was not quite yet ready for There was a point where I was living in my car because I got locked up I just told myself I wasn’t going back home and I knew I didn’t want to be there my whole life but there was something in my body that said and I made a lot of bad choices that got me in situations to where I really had to deal with it locked up more times than I wanted to count I thought Jesus was like Jack and the Beanstalk I thought it was a folk tale that some of the kids talk about in school and that’s been like the hardest—I think that’s why forgiveness is my spiritual gift And it also made me understand how much I need forgiveness because I know where I came from and I know where a lot of people are at today.  because I know where I came from and I know where a lot of people are at today.” – Darnell Ferguson  You will be one of the best chefs in the country and that’s the only thing that mattered Until I got to a point to where I ended up leaving one of the best new restaurants in America to go fry fish at a little mom and pop place because they paid me two more dollars an hour the owner was such a bad person that we could not mix it got so bad that I wanted to just beat him up so bad But I didn’t know what to do with the anger Anger was always my first and most common emotion I had And I remember coming back to work the next day do you know a church I can go to?” So he told me about a church I think he was preaching on who God says you are and he said everything I’ve been searching for my whole life I’d been looking for this my whole life but nothing matched up to how I felt about myself And then I went to church and heard about all this good news about how I was created I think a lot of people don’t truly believe what God says Connecting with God daily is the only way to be a superhero If you can attach yourself to the truth about what God says about who you are You can do way more than you ever imagined Everything that you’re trying to do and you want to do is easy work for God So I think that we are the everyday superheroes “If you can attach yourself to the truth about what God says about who you are You can do way more than you ever imagined.” – Darnell Ferguson  This is Jesus Listens You are the Light that shines on in the darkness for the darkness has never overpowered it—and it never will Yet when multiple problems are closing in on me the Light of Your Presence sometimes seems like a dim memory I need to stop everything and pour out my heart to You Help me to carve out time and space to talk with You about my problems and feelings No matter how much darkness I see in the world around me this Light shines not only upon me but within me I live in the midst of a crooked and per-verse generation and this is an opportunity for me to shine as a light in the world I must take time to bask in Your radiant Presence asking You to transform me into Your likeness but I long to live in ways that reflect Your Glory

relationship with the Lord My faith has gotten me through the loneliest of times that fortress you lean on when things go wrong or when they’re right The best way for me to be still in my spirit is to go out for a long walk I love being outside and looking at God’s creation watching the clouds go by and listening to the birds singing always fills me with peace I felt the same way when I was a girl running through the hills on our ranch There’s just something about being alone in nature that helps me listen in a way I can’t in the middle of the hustle and bustle of my usual life.  Narrator: Next
