Sometimes, it’s time for a career move. Sometimes, it’s time for more.
Here will be the place and time to share that move. Maybe it will move you too.
An update – it has been a while
When I saw that what I had been sharing was incoherent, shallow and often sprinkled with typos, was disappointing. Between a lack of energy and a lack of time, the writing got sloppy. You deserve better. Thus, I decided to pause for a while.
Más memórias
Hoje uma ferida do passado voltou a marcar presença. Um aniversário. E a dor tornou-se mais marcante pelo desamparo que senti hoje.Virei-me para um ombro e estava frio, outro estava ausente.Quando tentei falar da minha aflição, a urgência do pequeno-almoço para os...
Regeneration: Health, Land, and Life in Portugal
A New Chapter: Life in Portugal Now, when I wake up I can see an olive tree from my bed. There is a stone wall behind it, and plenty of grass around. A well-manicured garden wouldn't have those "weeds," but I am just so glad they are there. Not so long ago, all this...
Back to Writing: Same Voice, Fewer Typos
I stopped writing due to spelling and grammar mistakes in my posts. Now, with AI as a proofreading partner – but not a content creator – I’m ready to write again, keeping my authentic voice while ensuring better readability.
Lights
LightsWe had guests visiting a few days ago, and I was recommended to write here again. I have a site where I have started sharing our family adventure into the permaculture world, and the little I write is there. Still, here it is. Today marks the start of the cold...
Jellyfish Stings
Was this another moment where I was about to go through something awfully unpleasant, but then get through it?
Spinning
This is all very new, so the research, while growing, is still not robust and widely spread. This is also very old, so it ends up aligning with the wisdom of our elders: sleep well, eat well, move well.
Portugal
Living in a pandemic was not only locking us at home, we were actually locking ourselves away from Nature, movement, connection.
Invitation to play
I will think of you, and your invitation, and I will be resentful.
Um convite para brincar
Vou pensar em ti, no teu convite, e sentirei azedume.
Intimacy
and suddenly we clash, as if wanting to hit our chests like a gorilla and, out of pride, yell “back off”, “this is my space”.
The ex
The crappy butterflies, the pink walls, the ugly lamps, the obnoxious painting, the broken kitchenware, the tacky cat sticker and cheesy flower pots. I hate them all. They all scream at me and tell me I'm just a guest, a passenger passing by. A temporary shadow in a...
How to keep giving the same great childhood when you have two kids
And for now, we can’t say who got the better deal in terms of his first year. Does it matter, though? What we want to focus on is that moving forward, they have the best childhood possible, together.
Wasted days
Wasted days “Where are you going today?” I remember shrieking whenever my dad asked me this while I was growing up. This would often happen when I would spend a bit more time at home. He wanted to make sure I was living my life to the fullest, that I was getting out...
Should we homeschool?
Even if it is just a few hours per day, they will still be under the care and influence of their teacher, peers and other school staff members for a significant part of their time awake.
No Noes
I always believed I couldn’t be a salesperson because I would hear “no” all the time. The irony, of course, is that I became a mother of two small children.
A tough day
Everyone is crying, I included. We can do this. Time check: 8:00.
When the toddler prefers daddy
You cook, feed, clean, entertain, show, explore the world with him. And then you get a physical and emotional push back or hear “daddy!” as a response.
