CURRENT MISSION

To be kind, sweet, and loving, to as many people as possible

ABOUT ME

I am a loving Yia yia (Greek for grandmother). Comfortable with who I am. Been blessed to have traveled, and lived in, many places in the world throughout my life. I am happy to call Arizona home now, although for the past 5 I have lived in Andros, Greece for half of each year.

I grew up in Ethiopia. Although I am fully Greek by heritage. I moved to Cyprus at a young age. Then my family found their way to England where I spent the next 5 years of my life. In my 20's I fell in love, got married, and we moved to the U.S. Even though I've done my fair share of traveling, I never tired of it, and even it my age I still truly enjoy it.

I love people! I enjoy listening to others stories, problems, and blessings. I love to read the greatest book ever wrote (the Bible).

PHILOSOPHY

Helping others, sharing times with friends and family (whoever will have me that is), treating others the way I'd want not only myself, but those that I love most, treated.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The first memory that comes to mind is, BEING A GRANDMOTHER.
I haven't done anything extraordinary. This life is beautiful. I try to enjoy every moment, no matter what I'm doing. I did really enjoy a 3 week cruise down the Panama Canal.
Discovering the reality of God.
