Maria

--- June 2012 - Firenze, Italy 

It's been a while that I haven't met a person as happy as a free bird until yesterday.
When I heard and saw Maria told her story in a coffee bar  a few moths ago, I knew she would be an ear and eye catcher. She spoke with conviction, her eyes were sparkling.

It was her first time to talk to a crowd of professionals. And even before she could open her mouth, they were already in deep anticipation; they listened, they smiled, they nodded their heads and celebrated with her.

"This is what I have always wanted to do. This is me!" She declared.

The essence of being human, of being a person is freedom. Freedom to be ourselves, freedom to direct our paths, freedom to express ourselves. This is why when we become authentic, when we truly become who we really are, we are happy. As the author in Copyblogger wrote, "Be funny. Be serious. Be dark. Be outrageous. Be yourself!!!"  Be happy!
