Follow 👉@soniafragadias👈 . . . cakeatelieramsterdam Happy Day from my home to yours. This week has been one of the most delightful weeks in a long time. A class for the sweetest traveler all the way from Austin Texas, recordings for a French broadcasting company, tea with visitors from South Korea and a wedding cake for New Yorkers celebrating in Amsterdam. We had our first night out in two years attending a concert from my favorite Portuguese Fado singer, Mariza. I had longed for days like these and savor every moment. The biggest gift this week though came from our daughter (10). She was chosen by her classmates as the best debater and was sent off to a semi final contest on Tuesday. Monday night she barely slept because she was too nervous. At breakfast, the day of the contest, she expressed her fears. This type of fear is real but we also said that we had every faith and that she should just be herself. How do I do that? ‘Be myself’ she asked? Don’t worry about mistakes. Get comfortable and try to enjoy how far you came. Listen to your hart and your mind and answers will follow. Although she didn’t win at first she came home elated. I can’t even tell you what this meant for me. This wasn’t about her winning this round. In my mind she had already won. Just a year ago she had speech therapy for her stutter. This moment was a personal victory. She took the stage despite her fears, there was no stutter. On Friday the debate committee (Discussiëren Kun Je Leren) went to her school and surprised our daughter during class with confetti. She has been given a wildcard for the finale. I cried from happiness for her. She perfected her imperfections with tons of perseverance. Happiness from a week passed, looking forward to the next. Have a lovely Sunday and great new week everyone. #flowersalways #tulips #roses #ranunculus #springishere #currentmood#soniafrdias #soniafragadiasdesigner #soniafrdiasdesinerdeinteriores #soniafradiasdesigner #secretsofahostess (em Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc2m5nJO_bq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
