Don Miguel de Castro was an ambassador from the Kingdom of Congo in the 1600s. He travelled to Europe and South America representing the interest of the Congo. He was also a cousin to the Count of Sonho, a province in Angola.

Find a piece that helps you celebrate you!
Maybe your looks don’t fall into the norm of what is beautiful. Find beauty in yourself like a beautiful brown girl with lots of curly hair.
Maybe your gift is helping others instead of trying to take every cent you can get. Celebrate your helping hands.
Maybe roses help you see the beauty in the world around you. Express yourself!

Once upon a time there was a beautiful silk scarf but it had nothing that defined it. It was blank. Along came this great artwork, but it had no place to live.
They had a conversation, and realized they really had a lot in common. But was it enough for them to get together? Would this be a last relationship?
