Blessed...

Last month was a gift. I never expected to live such a powerful experience.

Yes, I was part of the International Visitor Leadership Program where I met incredible people and thanks them all; I changed not only in a professional way but also in a personal side.

Thank you Claudia for helping me in being more "punctual”, thank you Eva for sharing your happiness and joy of living, thank you Ivana for sharing your pictures and giving me so many lovely turtles, thank you Marina for making me laugh and giving me such a lot of great ideas for my company, thank you Daria for being so patience in "listening so many words from this latin girl", thank you Mounia for making me feel like a teenager again, thank you Maria for sharing such a big big heart with me, thank you Farah for sharing your wise points of view , thank you Phyllis for being such a great friend and giving me those green and beautiful presents I will always use, thank you Xoliswa for also sharing with me so many wise thoughts, thank you Joyce for teaching me that the sky is the limit, thank you Hauwa for making me think that I can also become a great women like you, thank you Farzana for showing me that your "banking world" is not as boring as I thought it was, thank you Nita for showing us great "cook books" from your country (I hope to receive one as well...), thank you Haifa and Olenka for being so brave...

THANK YOU ALL FOR BECOMING MY NEW SISTERS.

We all know how important this has been to us. And we all know how important we can all be to others who are waiting from us the same that we received from our mentors and from all those marvelous people we met during this last month.

And my mentors: thank you Carla and Shelly ... I really hope to know you better and find you again somewhere in our "advertising world", thank you Chuck in giving me so many powerful ideas and, of course: THANK YOU AURELIO in sharing so many great thoughts with me... I was really proud to have you as my mentor, who was the ONLY MALE MENTOR in this Program!!!!!

Dear Ann Moore, I told Eva so many times: "Maybe she wants to adopt me... Ask her". I shared few moments with you, but those few moments were also moments that will be tattooed in my soul. And because of you I also met ENRIQUE IGLESIAS!!! Can you imagine that? I never thought that it was going to happen to me!!!

Dina, Patty Sellers, Alysse, Kathy, Lucy... THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS PROGRAM BECOME TRUE!!! You made us all one of the most important gifts of our lives.

There is nothing like home and being with our families. But I know that with you all, wherever I will be, I’ll be like "in home and with my family".

Blessed... Definitely...
