Next Tuesday, October 26th 2011 is the
1st YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF FINDING EIDOTHEA BLOGSPOT
I have been thinking how to thank you all for your support and for believing in Maria Garozi, Garia August, Eidothea, D.X.G and our stories.
When I started this blog, I was hesitant about my writings and about sharing my thoughts openly. Part of the fear had to do with the fact that English is my second language.
I remember my mentor saying:
"why do you worry so much about making your life public?"
"You will just have thoughts seating there on a page. Besides, they dont need to make sense. You dont make sense either with your many You's so dont be afraid"
I also remember my Father sending me an email one day after the first month the blog was publicized:"Twra zoume ston asterismo ths Eidotheas kai tou Finding Eidothea blog. Mas leipeis alla to blog mas krata konta sou."
And then I remember, one of the first most motivating moments. It was when signing in the blog one afternoon to write a post, I realized that Gerry Boyd was my first follower. He made me believe in me. We were three reading the blog at that afternoon; My Father, Gerry and Garia who was posting again a crazy love story.
Almost a year later, because of all of you who like, follow and comment on the blog, Finding Eidothea has 26 Followers, 2,220 Visitors, many friends in fb and many more unknown friends who check our writings sporadically.
Because of You, my heteronyms have a community! And I never feel lonely in this country anymore.
This is why I feel we need to celebrate together with a special Finding Eidothea Vodka Infusion drink!!!
I will definitely be there and Garia is definitely paying the bill :-)
Hope you join us
- Maria Garozi
I am so sad that my body cannot be there (since I live in Greece) but my mind will be definitely parting with you! Have fun and celebrate "the Greek way" as you ought to :-)
