"Floating in God's hands is better than swimming alone" comes from an
irritation. I thought the "About me" is too restrictive. Can you tell who a
person is in 1200 words? I guess not. I love making friends and opening the door
to new relationships. Why? Because I believe in learning from other people. Life
is an adventure and having a guide helps a lot. Am I supposed to go around
telling people how to live their lives? No, I wouldn't do that because giving
advice when nobody asked is intruding. Did you find a solution? Yes, I did. I'm
sharing tips and you feel free to read them. When you share your thoughts, I
will be learning too. I believe I have a good deal here. Some facts about me. I
like to learn about religion, but I am not religious. Nevertheless, I trust The
Bible is the most amazing life guide ever. My first petty peeve for you: I hate
people who believe they must act bloodlessly and passively because it is the
righteousness required to be a Christian. I like to remind them how Jesus Christ
used a whip on some greedy fellows' backs. Wasn't he perfect? Yes, he was, and
the rightful ire he showed that day makes me love him even better. But it is
just little me. The good deal with the Bible is that nobody there is perfect. IT
IS REFRESHING. You could see I have some pet peeves. I am strong-headed too. I
can be stubborn to the point I am the only one who loses, and I insist on that
anyway. I call myself bad words in silence when my stupidity awes me, and ask
God for forgiveness every time. And I feel pretty bad and pretty good about my
actions too. In not so many words, I am quite normal, I guess. I had a brain
tumor, I have a very hard life as a Brazilian mother of three, I love my cat, my
books, and watching stars, and I decided to write in English because the world
reads the language. Besides that, I lived abroad, and some of my best friends
are not from my country or from any Portuguese-speaking country. I know human
beings suffer, laugh, regret and rejoice in every single corner of the world.
The new page is online. And I have to apologize. I did not post for a long time.
Health problems made that. I have read many books, and I am starting to write
the reviews. Just wait a bit, okay? I am happy to be here again.
There is no doubt Amazon.com became the most significant seller of books and ebooks these days. The reason is simple. Traditional Publishing houses stopped investing in new talents. One Professor told so to two of his students with a soul-crushing clarity. Publishing Houses got lazy because social media became the most impressive tool to detect influencers and fame. Having This plethora of free information they did not need to mine for new authors. They simply used it to see who was on top and then accept those people’s pitch. Easy but deadly. The publishers defend themselves saying the market is hard. It changed too fast. The computer became more important than books. People don’t read as much. Youth doesn’t want books but video games. And lots of other ridiculous excuses. Amazon used the opportunity with cunning, creating Kindle self-publishing and Create Space, and opening possibilities to the new talents the publishers threw away. The giant could provide content for her-...
