update

Been super busy teaching English as a second language for Berlitz at local colleges (Art Institute, Le Cordon Bleu) and loving it! Orientation is next Monday (18th), and I have already registered for classes, which start on the 25th!! Hoping to make it to Atlanta for the Bama X Clemson game, but everything is still up in the air...will keep you posted...

reconnecting..

Reconnecting has been great. Decided to go meatless, and thinking maybe even vegetarian. Started daily yoga and meditation, as well as thinking about what I want from life. Also started teaching English as a second language, which should keep me busy until school starts. Danilo absolutely loves his job; he is an ocean exporter for South America, and makes daily calls to Brazil, not to mention one of his delivery ports is his home town of Vitória! I start school on August 25th, but have to get registered and attend orientation between now and then so the wheel has already begun to turn.

confused

Really bad last couple of weeks, but hanging in there. Makes you question: why did I make these decisions, why am I here, are my priorities straight??...It seems I have lost my way and forgotten about myself during life's long and tiring journey. I just hope I can reconnect again because I really miss myself. I always feel like I think things through, until I think a little more. Is there a time when you are supposed to stop thinking, or is thinking the path you should take to get you where you need to be, where you are supposed to be? Or are you supposed to be anywhere, or just drifting along here and there...where ever life takes you...

An Inconvenient Truth

So we finally watched Al Gore's documentary the other day... 2 years late, but hey, better late than never!!

VERY GOOD FILM! Well, pretty alarming to be honest (and considering it was released in 2006, by now things should be even more alarming), but definitely something everyone from everywhere should see.

If you have never seen it, we highly recommend next time you go to the local Blockbuster.

Here is the trailer...

SEC Football fans!!

Here is the 2008 SEC Helmet Schedule for download (pdf format).

Or you can click on the picture below and print directly from the internet browser. I'm not sure how good that will come out so I recommend the pdf....

If you're not a SEC fan, you don't know what you're missing.... but you can probably find one of those out there on the web for whatever conference you root for.

ROLL TIDE.

Back in the business!!

Finally!!! Last week was a great week for us in terms of jobs. I was interviewing everywhere trying to get back in the global logistics industry, and last Monday I found an opening at Schenker Logistics, the company that I had previously worked for here in Miami and Atlanta...

The opening was for a position as an Export Coordinator. I had never done anything on the export side, as I was dealing solely with imports in Atlanta in 2005. I applied for the position and interviewed last Tuesday and later that same day was offered the job. Today I got the green light to start after a week pending drug test and background check results....

Jaclyn was just as lucky. She met with some language schools in the area, trying to get a position teaching either Portuguese or English. The positions were offered to her but the hours and pay were a little less then desirable.

She was then contacted by the Miami Herald, main newspaper of Miami and also Jaclyn's former employee back in 2005. She was offered a position as a free lance photographer which is quite exciting, the $$ is great and she will be able to have a flexible schedule that will be great when school starts in August.

Great week!!! I'll be starting tomorrow after almost 4 months out of work and Jaclyn will be waiting of her first photo assignment... Things are finally getting back in the right track!
