ABOUT ME

Mi nombre es Rafael Barbosa Conselheiro, I'm a laid back, chill guy. I avoid being stressed out by silly things. I look for people who enjoy being themselves. I focus on enjoying living, while keeping a positive outlook on the future that hits me in the nose every second :]

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that energy follows intention. Check out Dr. Emoto's work [www.masaru-emoto.net ]to see the effect that words and thoughts have on water!
