Adventure in Türkiye- A Tale in Red

• Snakes’ Castle, Sunflower fields, Churches and MosquesSeptember 27, 2022
  July 1st, 2011 It was almost 8 am when we left Adana. It was a blue hot day, exactly as I knew it would be. Summer is full of bright days, high temperatures and sweat. As a precaution, we had water in the car, essential for days like that. Another significant thing was occasionally stopping to relieve …

• Saint Paul, a beautiful mosque and bice biceSeptember 10, 2022
  June 30th, 2011 Our first stop after leaving Cappadocia was Mersin, and the sea’s blue water was very refreshing and instructive. I wonder if you can travel to Türkiye without learning a bit of history. I was excited about this new path. I am not saying the first part wasn’t exciting when we revisited some …

• Summer, sinkholes and cavesAugust 9, 2022
  June 29th, 2011 We left Göreme early (I revisited Cappadocia), not too soon that has prevented us from enjoying breakfast in the sunny garden. We took the opportunity to take some pictures along the cherry tree. The road ran south, passing between mountains; I first noticed that the weather seemed drier, even though we were …

Seasons of a Soul

Kindle and Paperback

Seasons of a Soul is a is a poetic journey through the Earth seasons – spring, summer, autumn, winter…a collection of the contradictory feelings each season brings. The blossom of spring opens when the sprites dance in our gardens, jumping flower to flower collecting colour, nectar, and provisions. Bright summer is when souls sparkle as the rays of the sun, illuminating every corner we may have aimed to keep in darkness, unveiling all the hopes we pretend not have. Mellow autumn is a second spring, where the changing colours of the leaves reflect the once-bright flowers as the branches yearn to sleep. Autumn is relaxation and introspection, but with a touch of colour and imagination. Finally, yet an essential restitution, before the cycle can begin again, winter melds the melancholy months with a snow a blanket of solitude, beneath which one chooses to reflect on success, failure, delusion and illusion…

Asif, Perdão

Kindle and Paperback

Asif, Superação

Kindle and Paperback

Asif is the story of Beatriz.

Beatriz is woman on hers 47 who suddenly break with the rule of the Brazilian society where a woman is born to serve and be on the shadow of a man. Her mother was restrictive, a true believe on the man superiority. The mother view shaped most of Beatriz childhood observing her mother be the last to sit the table after served all the family or be silence when tried to give an opinion about the future of the family.

Growing up in a patriarchal environment had transformed Beatriz in a woman without will, always desperately trying to please family, husband and son. She became a ghost of a ghost, someone without real perspective, immerse in a cage without bars and a life without meaning.

It was the Internet, still vey new and simple in 2009, that opened a new world to Beatriz and made her life changing. The story begun three years after her husband death, when work and her son were the only threads keeping Beatriz going. 
Asif came to her life as a joke, a fantasy but the young India man, full of sexual fantasies, lies, and a naivety about the real world outside his community, give the push Beatriz was needing to finally change from who she was to who she really should be.

From Sao Paulo to New Delhi, through India and Europe. Asif (Perdão and Superação) were a journey where Beatriz will find finally peace; herself, and love.

Working as a software engineer did not fulfil me entirely. The first step was free me from the burden of working for a company. Creating one to share what I learned with small and medium clients was a wonderful experience. However, something was missing. I have always loved working with education, and nothing better than putting together the two passions: technology and education.

The company later split into two: one developing software and the other working to implement the integration between technology and education. It was a challenging and gratifying journey. For ten years, I had the pleasure to work with children, teenagers, and adults to inspire them to give the next step to transform education.

In 1998 Heleny developed an approach to uniting different areas of human knowledge in one project called technology. The image shows two moments in 1999: a child amazed by science software and primary schoolers using the ability to create “machines”.

Geography can be worked like a complete project where mathematics, language, and other skills are worked. The children developed a CD about countries, and the photo shows a moment when they are tasting new foods from those countries.
