We are all amazing!

Well, maybe my girlfriends, my sister, my cousins and my colleagues a little more ;)

I was asked to pick up one though, that inspires me the most…

So, there is that one wonderful woman…

She is mom of 2 teenage boys and 1 girl entering her teens, whatever that means in terms of communication, negotiations, organization, time, diary and diet (!) management challenges!

She has a full time job, officially, and a couple of more roles she unofficially fulfills.

She is very supportive to her husband and his business ideas, as well as to her extended family.

She has overcome a horrible health challenge, facing it with the most effective, can-do, will-do, and will-be-well attitude!

She is even back being a student in University of Crete and has excelled in all 1st semester exams (well, except of psychology but let's be honest, this is a tricky one for everyone ;).

She doesn't need to see or hear me to understand how I feel, she just knows. And when I need it the most, she just says that one single word that gives me strength and courage.

So, yes…she is the one I look up to for inspiration these days…my friend/cousin Eri

I am sure there are plenty of amazing women out there who will relate to Eri and the challenge of balancing multiple roles on a daily basis, many of whom embody strength and perseverance just as she does!

Happy Women's day!
