Testimonial

"Theodora - Wonderful message, an excellent analogy, and thoughtful insight... Prior to opening your article, I was sitting this morning thinking about the foolishness of youth; mine, my friends, my children, the youth of today and tomorrow and realized surviving is a reward, it seems just too obvious to say, yet we just don't understand how wonderful it is until the tidal wave washes away and we are on the beach again, that although the beach is forever changed... it is still the beach and we are on it. Everyone faces a tidal wave." - Anonymous

These are interesting times...

Normally I write about GMOs, cancer causing toxins, climate change, and all things dealing with our fragile environment.

Today, on this blog, separated only by a click of the mouse from my other blog, I would like very much to write about anything other than environmental issues.

Those of you who have been following my blog from the beginning, know I started it when I first returned to America after 20 long years of living in Greece.

I have changed so much since those first, uncomfortable, months when we moved into our town house on Persimmon Lane. Everything seemed foreign then, especially me. Even the vernacular was foreign. As foreign as my mannerisms, and political swing to the far left, were to my family and friends.

Change didn't come easy, and not without resistance on my part. I wanted to hold on, rather go back, to the life I had come to know and love. But, as is always the case, with time came new friends and experiences showing me the way forward.
