It is difficult to explain why it took me so long to put my mind into a writing mode again and get myself immersed in my thoughts… Truth be told this blog is just the simplest way I’ve found to put my ideas in order, challenging all the information my head is producing and lining it up with some sort of structure -or at least with sense and motive…  Just as my “good friend” Haruki Murakami mentions in his book “What I talk about when I talk about running”… In order to write and especially for those who were born without natural talent (clearly me!), you need discipline and consistency,...
