About Me

I play with words: I share life and food stories. I share stories about art and the art of living…through struggles and toward happiness and love. I put your thoughts to my pen and write copy for websites, marketing materials, social media profiles--whatever you need.
I stir the soup: I share the art of home cooking as it was shared with me by my mother, my grandmother and my aunt.
I dig dirt:I find inspiration in digging dirt, being in the outdoors and hanging out in coffee shops--great triggers for the building of poems.

My name is Despina Panagakos Yeargin and you can:

I really like to help people.  I hope it shows.
