This speech wouldn't have been possible without my two divorces and my third marriage to a US citizen. It wasn't easy to leave my my family and the translation company DODAM that I founded. Getting accustomed and living in a new marriage with someone who also has "baggage" required lots of patience and compromises. On several occasions, I questioned the point of living.  Now, I look back and even speak about it all through humor.

     In order to get the feel of what my speech is like, please watch the collage of its fragments.

Just arrived in February of 2013 with my luggage and my dog Sara.
