My name is Olga Maria Muñoz Baell. I seldom use my middle name (Maria) and usually omit my second surname so most people know me as Olga Muñoz (or Munoz, when they are not Spanish speakers)
I created this blog in 2014 as an assignment while taking a training on "Digital Identity". I was far from enthusiastic about the idea of adding one more activity to my busy life but I complied nonetheless as was my life-long habit.
The blog was supposed to help me show the world my professional skills and my passion for what I was continuously learning and contributing to society as an IT professional. I think I managed to publish a couple of posts!
I soon found another use for the blog though. I like reading, but I have a weak memory. So I started writing down my opinions and thoughts on those books that particularly captured my attention. My self-exigence ended up killing the habit: the book was not interesting enough, the quality was not that good, the theme might not interest others, and so and so.
By the end of 2017, after 25 years of my professional career as an IT Project Manager, an inner voice started whispering "enough of this activity, you're done, get some time for yourself". At the time, my brain, as if to help that inner voice, decided to go fishing, for a while and left me with no option but to take a pause.
Surely you've heard that systems are in perpetual search for equilibrium. So when my logical, mathematical, analytical brain felt tired and wasted it slowly and willingly began to make room for my intuition to develop. It was then that I discovered another me, that had been hidden and underfed for a very long time. Every day I thank myself for having given me permission to change gears. I can assure you that now I am happier than ever before.
Maybe it is time for me to give this blog another chance and share whatever comes to my mind that might help others hear their inner voices and become happier themselves.
With all my love
