One about me
April 23, 2009Professionally, I’ve been working with career counselling for almost two years now. Personally, I can say that career counselling has always been a part of my life. I’ve had several job experiences, have attended courses in different majors, have had a couple of turning points and have always dealt with my career shifts by myself. I have learned how to search and how to explore, how to give a meaning to the time I have spent in one or another place, and found out what is important to me and what my goals were (and are!).
After dealing with all those issues and having counselled dozens of teenagers and young adults with career doubts, I can say that I’ve become both passionate and challenged by what I do. I can say that it makes all the sense in my life and makes me fit into this world. At this point, I’m always eager to improve my skills to be a better counsellor and satisfy my clients’ needs, because they are my major satisfaction. My personal satisfaction.
love is simple

“let’s make love. no. let’s make love a simple thing. the simplest thing ever. and then, for a day, for a year, let’s pretend suffering doesn’t exist: because love is simple, life is simple, and living is the simplest and the least painful thing we can do”
(Too much) rain in Santa Catarina
December 2, 2008
Santa Catarina is the name of a state in the South of Brazil known by its gorgeous beaches and home of many German immigrants who arrived there about a hundred and fifty years ago. Now imagine you live in Santa Catarina, next to a hill, in a scenario that brings up the picture of an European village. You have worked all your life to build a nice and comfortable home, perhaps with a piano inside, where you live with your family. You are happy. You and your wife have a small business, employing 30 people and producing, say, canned food. People like that have just become homeless after massive amounts of rain caused flood and landslides, as never seen before:
116 people are dead; 31 are disappeared; 27.410 are homeless and 51.297 had to temporarily leave their homes, partly destroyed by the disaster. Many of them won’t be able to go back, since the sites have been considered too risky, subjected to further landslides.
