Benvenuta! Lovely to see you!
It is a joy to have you here. This platform is devoted to the quiet strength of language —the graceful power of poetry to shine our Faith, encourage, and to connect us. I invite you to explore these works with Christ in your heart and your favorite coffee in hand. As you read, my hope is that my pieces will transcend into inspirations lingering long after you've turned the pages. Cheers to you, dearest, and thank you for visiting!
My Story
"And when someone opens your heart may they only find Christ" - This is the mantra that lives within me and the message I wish to convey to my audience. I am an Orthodox Christian woman, a spiritual writer, and a Human Development scientist that thrives in bringing people together for the greater Good. I am a first-generation Greek and Italian American residing in the East Coast currently with my Morkie, Lela - who I often refer to as my little wolf. (Yes she keeps me young! :) I have been writing since I was 12 with what began as song lyrics and thus as I matured it was evident that storytelling and inspirational themes were present in my work. Throughout my late twenties into my thirties presently, I realized that writing is not just something I love and have natural strengths in, but that it is certainly part of my calling during my time here.
​
Along with my writing, I am also a public speaker. I have led Christian retreats, devotional focus groups, and contributed as a panel member on several occasions to our youth and young adults in several communities. More recently, I am hosting poetry reading events beginning this Spring into late Summer 2025. (Details TBA in my Services tab!)
​
Whilst I am committed to serving women and my communities surrounding me, I value my "Elene Time" as I call it very much as well. I enjoy photography, practicing my languages with both of my grandmothers, creating floral arrangements, pilates and yoga, and savoring all of the blessed time I have with my family and friends. In times of adventure, you may find me on a beach somewhere in the Mediterranean or discovering historical sites in a foreign city. I ultimately strive to take moment by moment with Christ and in His will for my story... and our stories... for the telling.

Poetically, ​
Elene
