Η απώλεια δεν δημιουργεί μονο θλίψη, οργή και απελπισία, .. ανοίγει ενα δρομο δημιουργίας! Ποσο καλα το γνωρίζω αυτο. Αναδυκνιεται ο εσωτερος εαυτός, τα ταλέντα μας, αυτη η πηγαία θεία χάρη που ολοι κουβαλάμε σιωπηλά μεσα μας, απο την γέννηση μας. Ωφειλουμε ενα ευχαριστω, μια μεγαλη ευγνομωσυνη στα γεγονότα που προκάλεσαν θλίψη και οργή γιατί αυτά ειναι ακριβώς τα όπλα που μας σώθηκαν ετσι ώστε να γνωρίσουμε ποσο ‘πλουσιοι’ είμαστε εσωτερικά σε αυτο το σιωπηλό σχεδόν ξεχασμένο κομματι του εαυτού μας. Σε ευχαριστω για την υπέροχη ομιλία σου και το τροπο έκφρασης σου. Την αγαπη μου απο Αλασκα.

Οι άνθρωποι που κάνουν dislike, καλό θα ήταν να το αιτιολογήσουν, για να καταλάβουμε τι δεν τους άρεσε.

[NedTheDread]

Thanks for putting the title in English, I just love when I click on a title that I think is interesting and the video is in another language.

[zoispyropoulou]

Why english video title and description when the lecture is in greek? Pretty pointless

This lady reads to be mega interesting!!!
  The description reads her books have been translated into many languages but I'm at a loss to find any book titles listed available in English. Does anybody know where you can find them?

Thank you,
