HApPiLy BaCk OnLiNe !

Due to personal issues, I haven't been posting much recently. I am really sorry for what I've missed in the last year and for not having been able to get in touch with some of you.

Apart from taking care of my family, I have written a book. You can find it here: "Dolce Amore". 

 The book has to do with my recent absence from the web and explains what has happend to us in the last year and a half. 

The book and the website are in Italian, but I am planning an English version very soon. In the meantime, I am sure you can get the gist of the website by pasting it into an online translator. Should you have any questions, I am now here to answer.

Happy to be back,

Silvia

How do we bridge the gap?

Can online exchange really bridge the gap? Can using a single common language really help us become quality global communicators?

The question remains open.

What do you think?

The Sound of Silence

Close your eyes and listen to the song:

Now think of the following lines:

"... and in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening ..."

 

 

If you had to find a sentence or a word to describe how these 4 lines make you feel, what woudl that be? Why? Feel free to share your emotions here!
