Stories
These stories are compiled in the book “Juanita Forunna”, where she narrates her instant reflections.
The following is the introduction and some of the stories that will be periodically expanded.
Introduction
JUANITA FORTUNA was born from clay, through the hands of a sculptor whose mission was to give her shape. She glimpsed in front of her one of those generous spectacles of nature, the splendorous Guanabara Bay, in Rio de Janeiro. Her birth was quick, as if she was in a hurry to leave the clay. That happened a short time ago, between the end of the last century and the beginning of this new one.
From the beginning her figure has been exuberant and sympathetic.
From her face flows a confident smile and infinite generosity.
From her hands … From her hands? FORTUNE!!!!
And her legs? Her legs support the slightest of bodies, a graceful body, one of those that the earth cannot attract, one of those that dance among the stars.
She needed a little hat so that gossip would not affect her.
She also needed two small wings to fly and to send four-handed greetings.
Her ancestors are all of us and the others.
JUANITA FORTUNA is essentially healthy and loves this planet. Inside her beats life and common sense. Yes, and her common sense is so natural because it emanates from the heart. She hates to make judgments, she really loves!
The good energy, the one that opens doors, that makes us grow at every moment, sometimes transforms into small apples that appear in her hands. And she gives them away, with the best of intentions.
JUANITA FORTUNA is a great mother who protects without suffocating, pushes without hurting. She is fascinated by the doers, because with them there is an exchange of energy that gives her the power to fly and to be with us in several places at the same time.
She claims to know that good and happiness exist, that they are by our side, and that one of her duties is to remind us of that.
JUANITA FORTUNA is the guardian of many treasures!
They say that he does not forgive, but forgiveness itself. It resents repeated mistakes, human stupidity, and when that happens it usually shouts out loud: iiiBUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Dedication
For all those who somehow inhabit my heart. For the very big toads that live in small puddles. For the good stupid ones and for the clever clever ones.
For those who with love and courage dare to break the cage of cowardice. For those who have assumed. For the rich in spirit who accept responsibility. For you.

Your treasures
They tell about her,
When she is down here, she has a hidden trunk, inside which she keeps a GPS, a map of the Earth, a map of Heaven and little apples.
They asked her what it was all for. And she more or less said that when, for example, she is somewhere on the planet, she likes to feel her friends. Being very curious, she almost always knows exactly where they are.
She then checks with her GPS and her maps: if it’s daytime, she looks at the place, picks up a little apple and throws it in the direction of the sun so that it bounces off it and goes in the direction of the little friend, with the purpose of greeting him and sharing.
If it is at night, choose a star, but never the moon, so as not to confuse the lovers. The chosen star – one never knows for sure which one (Sirius perhaps?) – gives him a nostalgic smile. It even seems that she came from there. Could it be true?
When she is asked how she chooses the friend with whom she is going to
and she answers like this:
– When I take off my little hat they appear, magically, in my thoughts!
JUANITA FORTUNA shares with friends many times a day.
Cleaning up the past
They tell about her,
She possesses a magic broom, to be used in the past, which is used to clean the dirt that has been left behind and that continues to bother her, so much and so much…
Juanita goes back to that time, silences all the dialogues of her thoughts and does the cleaning that was missing. According to her, that’s super cool, but it only works when the broom is wielded with sincerity.
JUANITA FORTUNA is clean.
Coordinates
They tell about her,
She has a set like this:
There are three baskets, all with many manzanitas: in the first one is written TIME in the second one is written PLACE in the third one is written PEOPLE.
There is also a small basket, with space for 3 manzanitas only and that is located far away (but not so far…).
JUANITA FORTUNA says that the game consists in putting a manzanita of each type into the basket.
of each type of manzanita into the small basket.
For those who succeed, an amazing prize is reserved for them, called
LICENSE TO BE AND LICENSE TO DO
JUANITA FORTUNA offers us the strategy: patience and perseverance.
