🤩LIT LIGHTING DESIGN AWARD🏆 2020 SPOTLIGHT 🤩LIT LIGHTING DESIGN AWARD🏆 2020 SPOTLIGHT RECIPIENT IS @womeninlighting Can't really find the right words to describe how I feel about this... But let me try... GRATEFUL 🙏 CONNECTED 🌏 EMPOWERED 💪 Swipe left to watch my mini "reflections video" The @womeninlighting project created by @lightcollective supported by @formalighting and @archifos has a special place in my heart and always will. I feel that the last 2 years working with Sharon S, Martin and Sharon M, I have been growing my knowledge and experiences, discovering what makes me happy, finding my professional path, and most importantly, meeting inspiring and supportive colleagues all around the world. The friends I have made, the people I have collaborated with, and the level of meaningful interactions with like minded people, passionate about Light is invaluable. Thank you all for being involved. 🥰 Thank you @litawards for awarding the project. And I will close this by sharing one of my favorite motivational quotes: "If you want to go fast...go alone, but if you want to go far...go together" #celebration #award #Iamawomanoflight #spotlightprize #lightinginspiration #litawards #grateful #lightingdesigner #quoteoftheday
Hello everyone, first post of 2021 and time for so Hello everyone, first post of 2021 and time for some reflection and a wish for the new year. Yesterday was my official day back at work after an extended Xmas break. I took some extra time to fully recharge and I am ready to start. It feels pretty good to be your own boss and allow yourself to fully recover when you need it. In a month’s time, I will be completing a full year being self-employed. A huge "jump into the unknown", which I took last February, without ever imagining what would follow. And I’m deeply grateful that I did. I am thankful to my former boss who motivated me to be more aligned with my mission and take the risk. I am truly thankful to so many individuals, friends, colleagues and clients, who were there from the beginning, supporting, guiding and trusting me. I am deeply thankful to you and to our interactions here.THANK YOU ALL. 🤗💫 2020 has been a year of discovery for me. First clients, first time management challenges, first pitch failures. Many firsts, but I made the mistake of living in a rush and I didn't allow myself to reflect on each step consciously. That led me to be overwhelmed, overbooked, and super busy. 👎🤯🥴 This time, I will be narrowing down, focusing on the path, saying no, and aiming at being more productive and fulfilled rather than simply busy.🙌💪❤ Time is our most valuable thing after health. Do you agree? What was your biggest lesson of 2020?

🔉Are you enjoying the process of setting your X 🔉Are you enjoying the process of setting your Xmas Tree 🎄? Or are you finding an excuse to avoid it? 🤭 Let me know in the comments below 👇🤗 As some of us are getting ready for a very unique Christmas celebration this year, physically in distance from our beloved friends and families, I would like to reflect and share the biggest lesson I learnt this year: Deeply appreciate the little things...and take it just one day at a time.🙏 This video is one of my favorite memories of the year, when I got the chance, after many years, to decorate my tree with my mom, brother, Jasmine and Vasilis in Athens. ❤ This quote is my gift to all of you, "Enjoy the little things in life, because one day you will look back, and realize they were the big things." I love that. ⤴️ No matter how hard some days can be, let’s stop overloading ourselves, breathe more consciously and slow down in order to be PRESENT during those "little" things. Love you guys, thank you for being here. 🙏💫 . . .
