I’ve been thinking about blogging again for some years now. It’s something I’ve done in the past for almost a decade. Finally, on May 1st, 2021, the project came to life on this platform, but first in Portuguese.
I started with the blog, but several other resources are yet to come.
Today, January 1st, 2022, I release the English(-ish) version. I’m Brazilian, and my craft is to write in Portuguese. I confess that I was at first resistant to translating the blog into a language that is not mine, with all the challenges inherent to the translation process itself and my limitations.
However, getting the message across needs to come first, and the writer’s ego must be tamed. So, with the help of digital translation tools, my blog in English starts today!
One of the main reasons for making the blog available in English is the possibility of sharing with my friends and foreign readers my experience, culture, and Brazilian reality. You are welcome to give me your feedback.
I will talk about a bit of everything here, but mainly about my quest for productivity with quality of life.
Welcome to this platform and the year 2022! May it bring health for the world and new beginnings for each of us.
