CATARINA FURTADO | WINTER TRENDS | ARTY ISSN 2184-738X • £6Ilustration Marion Solhonne @marion_solhonne PLAYUPSTORE.COMmolo.comThis is a very special issue: our first edition with a woman, mother and amazing human being on the cover. Catarina is not just a mother of two. She also has “heart daughters” just like me. I have written before that apart from my two biological kids I have three beautiful “heart daughters”. They are Mozambican and are my pride and joy. It’s amazing to see them getting an opportunity to change their world, to lift their family up and get an education without forgetting their roots. They are Tuca, now in her 5th year of medical school here in Lisbon; Helena, a radio presenter; and Tayo, studying in the Portuguese school of Maputo. I’m relating my personal story in order to introduce Catarina. Catarina is a talented and famous presenter, actress and author in Portugal, but we are here to celebrate her 20 years as UNFPA ambassador and her work with Corações com Coroa, helping give young ladies an opportunity to get an education. She has been in- volved in the lives of many young women and I could write for hours about what an amazing human being she is, but I’d prefer you read the interview in this issue to get to know Catarina Furtado for yourself (if you do not already). On behalf of all the young women she has helped, and from me as a humble passenger in this world, I want to thank Catarina for her amazing work. We are forever grateful. On a matter close to my own inner journey, I would like to invite you to read the pages we dedicate to "Raices de la tierra". It is amazing how they keep such moments of true love alive. It is not easy to embark on journeys that dissolve our ego and bring us closer to our roots. I want to congratulate the ambassadors who manage to extend these amazing experiences to so many people and places and bring them together in an act of true surrender. In the coming pages we will also see how the world has been affected by covid-19 and how some of our lives have become so difficult and lonely. I do not like to see it all as negative, so our inspiration for this issue was the moments we have with ourselves, the moments in which we sit, breathe, and look inwards. Life is such a rush and sometimes we get lost in the crowd and forget to look into ourselves, understand ourselves and change the world with simple everyday gestures. Sometimes I feel that we are all asleep at the wheel and that it’s time to wake up and be grateful for all the blessings in our lives. Everything starts and ends with gratitude and the time we give to ourselves is time to be grateful, to look around and see what’s in front of us and cherish all that makes us happy, kind, humble, honest and real. I am extremely grateful for everything in my life, including the small blessings like waking up and breathing every morning. Being a guest on this planet is a blessing and sometimes we unfortunately make bad choices when it comes to looking after mother earth. Those poor choices should serve to help us learn and improve every day in our own way. Once again, I want to thank you for reading Lemon and all my team and everyone that supports this dream of mine every day. I dedicate this issue to my heart daughters, Turecas, Helena, and Tayo, and to all young women, the UNFPA and Corações com coroa in their mission to empower and change the fortunes of the community.
