About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Fun is a renewable resource!" Unkown

ABOUT ME

I am a happy person, and more often then not surrounded with people, friends, and family ...
Also, I'm one of those Forever optmist people!
I love soccer! I have been to 3 world cups and can't wait for the next one in Africa...
I have been wishing that NY had the Miami weather :D

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is a perspective, not a condition.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I alphabetized Native Indigenous (Brazilians).
I saw a woman delivering a baby... [I'm still in shock!]
I helped my sis raising my nephew until he reached the age 4... That was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I want to teach, learn and share seems simple in theory but to apply is not that easy: Happiness is an everyday choice, and it does not dependent on current/past life conditions/moments/circumstances.
Keeping around people that can remind us of this universal truth is essential, in special during our ups and downs.
