Sisters with attitude!

I have to admit, I had some pretty streotypical views of how it would be to stay with catholic nuns - I had imagined conversations around the table based on chapters from the Bible and perhaps a lecture on the fires of hell and eternal damnation - what I got was dancing to African drum beats till way past bedtime, dressing up in my clothes (including items of underclothing from M and S worn over a habit!!), photographs in various poses at every opportunity and attitude like the best of the best.  It got me thinking - about women - and their capacity to achieve absolutely anything - by sticking together, more giving than taking, listening and appreciating.  The sisters have created an oasis of hope for those who society and even parents have rejected. They are truley something else.
