Purpose

          I've been blessed with something I believed was a curse for many years.  To be in a whirlwind of interests and talents my whole life drifting to one and then another depending on circumstance or maybe even the weather. When I wanted to excel in one, I would find myself distracted by another. My life became a battlefield of things I love. Juggling all that along with my everyday roles of Involved mother, Passionate wife, Caring friend, etc..etc.. things got a bit scary. 

         Everything matters in this life weather we like it or not. You can choose to care or not, but that doesn't change the facts. I care about everything. From the ground I walk on to the sky above me and everything in between. Your thinking, "Wow, no wonder she's crazy." Yes, I am and I love it!

          So, all this caring about everything and simultaneously trying to accomplish everything led to a meltdown eventually. The fear of dying with my music still in me drove me to insanity wanting to do it all before I leave this world.
          Then, somewhere along the way, not by chance (nothing is chance) things began to fall into place. Was it because I was searching for help to organize it all and I began to look deeper into the concepts of life coaching? Was it age and the knowledge that derives from experience? Was it simply time? Were the laws of attraction bringing me the resources once I began to focus?
         Anyhow, here I am writing, and loving every moment. Taking time to embrace this one thing in it's entirety. Focus and meditation have taught me how to manifest my dreams.  Not that all the other interests have been set aside and forgotten. They will all still be there and when the time is right each one will be called upon and brought to life, blending it all together so nicely!

THE PERFECT SCHEDULE - OR - NO SCHEDULE AT ALL

It would be very nice and convenient if I could set aside a special time where I would just sit down and write. It would be ideal to have a schedule for the day in which there is a specific time where I would have the quiet I need and the creativity flow inspiring me to be the great writer that I know I am. But that is not the case. You see, I’m washing dishes and I’m not really just washing dishes. I’m doing a scene in my head and sometimes saying the parts in a low whisper when my 9 year old daughter walks in and kindly asks, “Mommy are you talking to that dish?”   I am running the vacuum but the noise is blocked out because in my head I am in Paris shopping. While I make the beds and pick up whatever is not in its place, I am questioning methods, philosophies and pondering on human behavior in general or in specific. You see, the Greek DNA flowing through my veins throws me in a philosophical state at any given moment. Usually not the planned kind of moments, but rath

To do or not to do..

        I can honesty say that I have a masters degree in the Arts of Procrastination and Circumstance manipulation through the development of solid excuses. Actually, I think that it is a trait that I have unfortunately passed on to my daughter. Until now, realizing the potential harm in my daughter's future, I was quite comfortable with this.  I found myself doing some of those same things. Ahhh..so that is why I am having trouble at being awesome! I knew there was a reason. My passion is great my mind is greater..I should be doing everything I do at a level of complete awesomeness!       However, after a parent-teachers conference where I was told that she is a brilliant child who tries very little is distracted too easily and doesn't finish what she starts, I began to think of ways to help her overcome these obstacles of learning starting with changing me.              So, my internet search for reading material began. Those who seek shall find! Some of the most helpfu

Inspirational Beginings!

      Having lived the first half of my life in America, I am considered an "American" to those who know me here in Greece. Having lived the second half of my life here on an island in Greece, I am considered "Greek" when  I return back to the states and visit family and friends. WHO AM I?  A bit of a dilemma actually even for me. I was born, raised and educated in the US, however I lived my adult years here in Greece.        At times I feel like a foreigner to all lands, a misfit.  I am always defending the opposite country.  My opinions and way of life are strongly affected by both worlds simultaneously. I love both my countries.  I couldn't have one without the other.  It's a lonely path at times when no one quite understands me or feels the way I do.  But that's okay with me, I've always felt differently than the masses and I've never followed the crowd.      Traveling through my past in thought, I realize that even though I found it quite
