Nothing like the beginning of a new year to motivate you towards your goals in life. My goals for 2016 include the basic stuff like getting fit, eating well, drinking more water, having sex more often, making more money, etc... but it also includes writing. I have plans to write a book one day (or more) but I also enjoy expressing my views, displaying what brings me joy, sharing my passions, motivating and influencing others towards a fulfilled life, and exploring the world in general. My foundation is God and my family. I'm always amazed by His grace upon my life. I love my wife and my two children immensely.
I am a passionate person with many interests! All Things Filipe will include some posts in English and some in Portuguese. I am originally from Brazil but was raised in the U.S. My goal is to post about the variety of things that draw my attention such as politics, family, movies, sports, travel, business, food (paleo), cooking, faith, maps (I know), life lessons, human behavior, music, third culture, relationships, English, TV shows, technology, space, and a few other awesome far out things.
I wanted this first post to serve as a reminder to myself as to why I'm doing this. I feel I have a lot to say and share. I love hearing that I have influenced someone. As a teacher at heart I am energized by hearing someone being grateful for something I have taught them or have advised them. Be it simple or complex. This is an outlet for expression! My hope is that I will post frequently and will turn it into a habit.
