About Me
- Oma
- ... a woman who has been many women and will likely continue to metamorphasize until the end ... I have been a mother, a grandmother, a writer, a teacher, a traveler, a nomad, and a hermit so far ... and now it seems I am evolving into a folk artist wannabe. Who knows where my travels will lead?

This is AWESOME!! I LOVE it!!!!
OMA!!! That's beyond absolutely beautiful!!!! WOW!!!
Thank you both ... and Fraulein ... I have a story I think you might be able to use. It comes from Girl Guides in Kenya ... about a girl who was helped by the Guides to stand up and fight against a serious social problem in schools ... she was able to stop a headmaster from sexually assaulting and threatening young female students because she was able to go to the powers-that-be and tell them what he did to her ... a case of the "wrong kind of touching" ... it was the second school ... and he had left behind a pregnant student in the previous school. The power of the Guides must be really wonderful because teachers in Kenya are regarded very highly so it took a lot of self respect for this girl to tell the authorities.
