Love your art sweet Hiromi! (I know you from ARTWANTED… what a small world!) Where do you live in Germany? I lived 3 years in Bad Homburg (close to Frankfurt) and was teaching art and music at the Frankfurt International School; then I lived for 3 years at Bad Godesberg (close to Bonn) And now I live in the States , already 10 years. When will you marry? Wishing you a great weekend!—Love and Light~OLGA

Hi, dear Olga. I’m happy to receive your message. Your life sounds wonderful! I live in Cologne in Germany, I’m sure you know this city :) I was traveling many countries with my lover but not USA yet. (oh, without Guam!) We hope we will get marriage as soon as possible…..but we don’t know when yet…! Anyway, I’m so happy to contact with you, Olga!
