- About Me:
- The fact that my name is Rachel Kopit Cunha and that I am a Brazilian citizen is pretty important to say, to start with. I am a Psychologyst since my graduation in 1978, as I was not brave enough to study Social Sciences, as everybody was taken to prison after graduating as a Sociologist at that time, during the Brazilian dictatorship. Neither I dared to face my father, who did not want me to be a lawyer, as I kept telling him I wanted to be a lawyer to get people out of prison.
Anyway, before graduating, as a student, I worked for 6 years in a publishing house where I learned what I would love doing most of my life. They published mostly books on psychology, psychoanalysis, education, social sciences, litterature... Today I am pretty sure it was not by chance I was there. I turned to be an editor, at the age of 24 as I had the feeling for the business.
Besides, I gave private English classes during this time. Lots of them. And Portuguese for foreigners.
And then, in 1982, I started working for the State Hydropower Company, one of the best and largest in South América - CEMIG, Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais, still as an English teacher for the engineers and technicians. After three years-time, I did go on with training classes, but on Portuguese, Business Writing, and some Communication skills for electricians and people at different levels in the Company. I learned a lot, I must say it.
But then both hands and my brain started “itching” and I went back working with translation, doing correction on books and intelectuall production such as thesis, papers etc. – on my free time, at home.
In 1996 my daughter was born and my husband and I opened a publishing house, a small one, to work for those who would not have their work accepted in large publishing houses and were willing to pay us to have them published. .
In 2001, I retired, so I left Cemig and invested both time and money in my publishing house.
I guess I can say I am a very restless person, always looking for something else to do, to work with. Now I spend most of my time working either with book publishingf or doing translation for different companies.
What I love most in my life? My life, my daughter, my husband, my books, my sisters, my dreams. In different sequences, depending on the day, of course. Travelling is great, too! I lived for a year in the US , as an exchange-student in Danville Illinois, and a year in Israel, when I was on my tweenties.
I dare to say my English skills are very good, the knowledege I have of my own language is excellent and I can read both French and Spanish pretty well. Besides, I understand and talk a little hebrew. Not bad, then, for someone who works with translation.
And I do keep deadlines!!!

Artistic Vision
Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments 0 Likes
Is an artist's "vision" primarily a product of experience or imagination? I don't want to pursue the simple answer that it's both. Is it primarily one or the other, of if it's just plain old both, how do they interact to create an imaginary world?
Is it true that some people have more artistic vision than others, or is this kind of seeing equally available to all?
Trying to find treatment.

In the beginning of August 2008 I was doing great. I went to the gym 3 times a week for 3 hours each time. I had lost weight and had a nice tone coming. I was nicely tanned with some help of the tanning beds. I rode my motorcycle back and forth to work and to the gym. In the middle of August a leg press came down on top of my head while i was trying to get it reset to the proper location so I would be able to use the equipment. I got very dizzy and had to go home, that was the end of my…
