Peaceful Comfort


​I spent the last 3 weeks away from the office!
Difficult to get the same kind of rest I use to have before we had kids... so holidays does not equal rest (like 9 years ago) but time to change the mindset, the scenery, enjoy family and friends, get 'some' sleep, visit great places, enjoy meals... 
​
It also gives me more time (a lot more time) to look at my children, see how much they have grown, see what they enjoy doing... that only seems romantic when I'm not busy trying to educate them... that has looked easier than what I'm finding it now... Not easy but with some funny episodes!
Our youngest daughter always wants to hear the same song over and over again in the car... It's a song by Maria Gadu called Shimbalaie.

I thought I would share the lyrics with you because they take me back to the good summer days in Sintra and Tavira and I'm betting they can also take you to your favorite holiday places! I have highlighted my preferred part! Enjoy!


Peaceful comfort

Shimbalaie, when i see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep
 
Nature, goddess of living
Pure beauty of birth
A flower shining in the light
Fisherman between the sea and the hook
 
Free thoughts like the sky
Imagine a paper boat
Going away to never return
Going like Iemanja
 
Shimbalaie, when i see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep
 
How long will it be to learn
That a flower has life at birth
That a flower shining in the light
Fishing between the sea and the hook
 
Shimbalaie, when i see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaie, every time that he goes to sleep
Being a captain of this world
Able to roll without borders
Live a year in seconds
Appreciate dreams as more than silliness
Become enchanted with books
That speak about vanity
When a lie may it be needed
Being able to tell the truth

    ABOUT ME

    My name is T. S. Coelho and I live in Lisbon, Portugal, with my husband and three kids. I work in the asset management industry, managing an equities fund.

    I decided to start this project in 2014 after realizing that my ‘grey finance world’ needed the color of writing after hours.

    The decision on the subject to write about was easy to figure out: I combined the need to figure out how to feel healthy even when I sit for about 50 hours every week to my life dream of social justice – well, in this case it’s more about justice in the office – if talented, hardworking, shy people hide behind their desks, others will take advantage and fill in superior positions with higher rewards, higher recognition and more important than that greater personal fulfillment.
    ​
    What I try to do here is to provide the means for extremely valuable people to find the confidence they need to succeed and to live a happier life. Enjoy!
