June 28th – Molyvos and Petra
Our idea of climbing the steps to the church on the hill in Petra, followed by Sunday brunch was quite quickly turned upside down when we realized the church holds a Sunday service. Taking photos while people were in prayer, didn’t feel appropriate, so we hopped in a taxi to Molyvos instead. This time weContinue reading “June 28th – Molyvos and Petra”
June 27th – I Touched the Sea!
No, you’re not crazy. I did skip a day. The 26th was a rest day, so we didn’t make any photos. We enjoyed breakfast outside, sorted through photos read a book and played games. We hung out at the Kantina where we ate lunch, consumed plenty of iced tea and even a milkshake while watchingContinue reading “June 27th – I Touched the Sea!”
June 25th – Food, Farms and…Where are the Flamingos?!
My first bus tour! There’s always a time and a place for new experiences and the perfect place to experience your first bus tour…or should I say coach tour…is on vacation. We were picked up at the entrance of Villa Vicky where we were staying. I got a front seat – cuz Deafblind people areContinue reading “June 25th – Food, Farms and…Where are the Flamingos?! “
June 24th – Trains and Castles
I was surpised to feel quite good as I woke up on Wednesday morning. I don’t usually sleep well on a flat bed. My adjustable bed at home has been my friend for many years and acommodates the hyper mobile joints very well. So to wake up feeling refreshed after sleeping on a box spring,Continue reading “June 24th – Trains and Castles”
2026 Greek Vacation
Once upon a time a family member asked ‘If you could go anywhere, where would you want to go’. I think their intention was to find a way to arrange something fun for us to do but, I couldn’t answer the question. I’d gotten so used to my illness and disabilities limiting me, that IContinue reading “2026 Greek Vacation”
June 23rd – Travel Day!
To the airport! At 3:30am. I don‘t remember the last time I got up at 2am for anything. Today I just happen to have to get up, because there’s a taxi on it’s way. I can probably count on one hand, the few times I’ve been to an airport. The idea of going there alwaysContinue reading “June 23rd – Travel Day!”
How to Talk to a Deafblind Person Without Panicking
Dear Readers, As I continue my journey through the wonderfully chaotic world of Deafblindness, I’ve noticed something rather interesting about the people around me. Most people want to help. They truly do. Unfortunately, many of them panic slightly first. Some become overly cautious, as if I’m a rare museum artifact that might crumble into dustContinue reading “How to Talk to a Deafblind Person Without Panicking”
All Of Me
Living with multiple illnesses, disabilities, and daily challenges has taught me a great deal—not just about myself, but about the people around me who don’t walk in my shoes. I’m not talking about my family or close friends, the ones who’ve watched me grow and adapt. I’m talking about society at large, and the professionalsContinue reading “All Of Me”
Carrying Light Into 2026
Standing and watching the last-ever street fireworks on New Year’s Eve—before the ban is implemented—made me reflect on all the changes 2025 brought with it. Lower blood sugar. A little more mobility. A hearing aid in my right ear to join the left one I was already wearing. I found new online friends. I dealtContinue reading “Carrying Light Into 2026”
