What is real healing?
Real healing begins when we turn inward and recognize the harmful behaviors we once normalized. Through therapy and self-reflection, we reclaim our narrative and begin to distance ourselves—with honesty and care—from patterns and people that no longer serve us. As we grow, old dynamics fall apart, revealing who truly benefited from our silence. Healing isn’t just recovery—it’s a quiet revolution of self.

Chanoyu (茶の湯). The beauty of the Japanese Matcha Tea Ceremony.
Chanoyu, or the Art of the Japanese Tea ceremony, is something I had to create a separate post about. It was a very special part of my Kyoto solo trip, a spontaneous escape -turned into one of my most fulfilling experiences yet. The art of the tea ceremony in Japan is truly fascinating, as it…
Kyoto: Japan. My first solo travel experience and some thoughts.
“I’ll be in Tokyo for work for a week. Would you come?” He asked. (What a question…)“Let me research a bit”. I respond with an inner calmness equal to that of a dog hearing the word “Walk”. (OBVIOUSLY was the honest reply.) I believe that sometimes the best thing you can do is say, “Yes,…
AfrikaBurn 2023: South Africa. A “virgin’s” guide to the dust and survival list.
A long awaited journey. Towards freedom. A canvas where as soon as I started painting my boundaries, the next moment I would watch them dissolve and disappear together with our audacious water puddles in the desert.
Mini Choco – Orange Pavlova’s for two …or one.
Well, whether you celebrate today or not (I mean even when being with someone), a Sunday is always a good occasion for some desert to go along with your late-morning coffee. I never really celebrated Valentine’s day, as in my mind it was always associated with those awkward days in elementary school, when the popular…
DIY Dreamcatcher and dreams…
I have always been a dreamer. I ‘ve mentioned it before. Lately I ‘ve felt inspired in so many ways and found so many new things to dream about, that I almost feel complete only by dreaming of them. Is that absurd? I think not, as I am sure that many people like me find a…
DIY Christmas Wreath. Merry Christmas!
I met a lady in the train yesterday whom I know from the gym classes I take. She is lovely, highly educated, but so far unlucky in life. When I asked her how she was, she told me “these days are a bit difficult for me, being lonely and all”… I tried to change the…

So for this decoration I used kid’s modelling paste (air dries) and some glitter and other shiny “galaxy” shapes. Method: Cut a small piece of the paste (cover the rest of it…
Cinnamon biscuits, friends and Christmas.
We had a really wonderful Sunday with friends today. A large brunch, some November ice-creams (it is always a good time for ice-cream), lots of laughs, love, new souls, and latte cappuccino’s! It could not be better. This whole meeting really made me feel that we are close to the Christmas season, when everyone returns home…
Grandma’s rustic Spinach Pie!
Having moved to my old, (and four years abandoned) house recently, means facing everyday “decay” challenges. A house that had no electricity, many broken roof tiles and weathered wooden doors for that long, is no easy thing and as winter approaches (thank God it’s Greece) I am in a constant fight with time. A situation…
