  • The years they spent studying prepared them for this moment

  • There is joy in a family founded in Christ

    I used to dream of leaving my small city to live in the big city. I just wanted to know what it’s like to be far away from what I am used to doing. I thought that starting new translates to so many possibilities you can create with your autonomy. And here I am, far… Read more

  • The facade of checklists

    In my previous post, I already told you what work performance looks like in terms of effort and focus. But often, it’s really tempting to spread too thin at work. This means you do so many things simply to check them off the lists. But are they really the things you should focus on? Because… Read more
