My American dream ... I was born in Athens, Greece and from a very early age, I've noticed that when people were dancing and laughing they were happier, so I made it my mission to make everybody happier. At fifteen I was dancing folk dances and by eighteen I was dancing professionally in Greece and throughout the Mediterranean. In 1967 I met and married my American sweetheart in Cyprus, and moved to Georgia, USA, At thirty-nine I was diagnosed with severe RA and life became very unpredictable, simple things like washing my hair and getting dressed became Herculean tasks. After ten years of inactivity, smoking, and bad eating habits I was faced with yet another health problem -- obesity. An issue of Arthritis Today planted the seed of hope in my heart to live my American dream! Handicapped and all :-)
