Alegrias de Vida

"Alegrias de Vida" n. - a Portuguese term which means "joys of life." I came across an blogger yesterday, Jeff Goins and reading his posts encouraged me to write once more. Writing is one art that people take for granted, not realizing that through writing one can actually touch and change many people's lives. That's what exactly happened to me yesterday. Upon reading Jeff's blog, my excitement to write was fanned and encouraged. I used to have all the excuses in the world just to delay my writing plans. I often felt that my blog might just end up looking like an online diary where no one might even be interested to read it. But I realized one thing, one writes not because he or she wants to please the readers right away. One writes because one wants to impart knowledge or share a part of himself to others.The desire to be acknowledged as a good writer comes secondary. 
With these in mind, I decided this morning to just put up a site and write my heart out. For all you know, you, who would come across my site, would be encouraged and be moved at one point and more so, you might be compelled to touch more lives through writing. 


This blog is for random experiences that I went through, am going through, and will go through. This is going to be my way of sharing with you my "alegrias de vida" in the hopes that I would be able to touch your life and encourage you to share your own joys and experiences as well. 


So, this is it! Sit back, relax, and read on. May you learn from my random musings, everyday experiences, life lessons, cooking experiments, travel escapades, and all the transitions that I will go through in life.


Enjoy!
