If I think about 2020, I think about a bad dream… the pandemic didn’t really happen! This was a test to humanity, to see how strong and resilient we are! Imagine on December 31st at 11:59 pm, the spell will be broken, and the new year will start without the pandemic, and we could be […]
This year, we are spending Christmas at home, the four of us. We usually go to Portugal, spending the holidays with our extended family. This year, we’ll be staying at home, here in the US.

We live in a time where we have to do something, we have to make it happen, and we have to deliver! You know what? I’ve always been so driven for this concept of life. It puts me in control of my future and my actions. I’m in! But what happens when things don’t go […]
I got a notification from my WordPress saying my next bill is due next month. I was like, what? I just made the payment! What are you talking about?

I am talking a lot about this topic lately! I think we don’t have one story, but we have different stories or better… I believe, we have one story cut in different pieces, bringing us different experiences and different learnings, shaping the person we are. Some of the stories we don’t control in our life […]
When I am listening to some of the influencers I follow, they all have this crazy urgency to call out to action for personal development, saying this the way to reach your goal, to follow your dreams. I normally feel that urgency at the moment and I get pumped up to do something, but it […]
I would love to share the book I have read last month, discussed in my Women’s Book Club. Grit by Angela Duckworth.
