INSPIRATIONAL WRITING: “Redemption”~Debbie Papadakis.

Life by all means isn’t easy. It hasn’t been!SHOW ME ONE PERSON WHO IS PERFECT.Who is perfect? I AM NOT! However, I do admire people who try and work at it! No matter how down you might feel.

I wrote a poem …I am not a misician but I felt music as I was writing.   ‘Promises’ Waves rolling on the sand… Birds gliding… In the wind they dance! Looking out to the sea..

Oh how much how much can I take.I  ...

Collecting my papers for the unemployment office was all I had to do, deep down in the chambers of my mind, I knew that I might just miss one or maybe two.”You have got everything you need in the transaprent file!”I thought to myself. I tried not to think much of that as  I was repairng myself, sipping my last sip of coffee, and grabbing my bag, keys and mobile phone. I trotted down stairs to where I park ‘my set of  ...

These days Life can only be described as Surrealistic to some Realistic to others!

Recently in my correspondence I had with a friend, I was asked to write about how things were with everyday people here in Greece; I sat back and a storm of thoughts flooded, making me think that If I DO express these experiences, would they be able to understand ? Would they be seen as surrealistic accounts of REALITY, never before experienced in the 21st century to such a nation as Greece? Then I thought, an Interview would help focus  ...

Remembering …pictures and words you had said and.. wanted to say…but were never heard.

This is a poem I had written when I was told of the passing of my beautiful Aunt and your mother .I cried and felt astranged from happiness and saddness that usually is shared amongst families. It is sad when a family memeber passes away. I would like to thank a dear friend of mine, whom I have known since we were both in Australia, who just wrote to me here on face book about the sad news of my Aunt Mary’s passing away 1934-2012.
