Today is my birthday Today is the day I feel infinite gratitude to my mother and father For bringing me in life Today is the day I relive their mutual love No matter their current life circumstances Because they are divorced for many years now And they hardly talk to each other Which I don’t like much Though, after all, is none of my business What matters to me is that 38 years ago They were somehow imperfectly in love And today is the day I can celebrate this beautiful gift

It all started as a painful recognition after pushing unconsciously away the man I was falling in love with “I wish… I wish reality was different inside of me… I wish I was not so hungry for love that blind me to see you I wish I was strong enough to stay centered while in the distance I wish I was vulnerable enough…” bla bla bla I wish I was more of this; I wish I was more of that.

These days I have been reading "Rumi’s Little Book of Love" and below is a quote that I was inspired to share with you. It reminded me of a breakthrough embodied comprehension I had few years ago in one of my healing sessions with medicinal plants; that is the life’s gift of being incarnated, the beauty and challenge of being Embodied Spirits.

There are moments in life that everything you thought about who you are and what really matters in your life, smashes like a broken window…these are moments of deep inner transformation. One more time, since coming back from Argentina, I have been going through a moment like this.

Have you ever felt like you belong nowhere? Have you ever asked yourself, Where is my true home? If so, this Loveletter is for you. For the past week, after I left my homeland, Greece, to come back to my home in San Francisco, I been in a transition mode. In this limbo, words seem empty to describe the richness of my journey, but my body feels completely alive. While I revisit old memories and swim in new ones, I am feeling again many mixed feelings. My heart sighs… I fee

I want to share a blog post that I wrote recently for Therapy4u.org It is personal and feels vulnerable but it is real... Its title is: "What makes me fall for emotionally unavailable guys? Authenticity in relationships." Just a heads up: it's not about blaming guys, me, or anyone. I am grateful for all the men I have met in my life. It's about the emotional process of going through "failed attempts" of seeking love and looking into some of the internal barriers that keep l
