reply for Wanda

Thank you Wanda for your concern.

My Moroccan friend does not worship devoutly...he does admire spirituality and is a very honourable soul. He is quite modern and really wouldn't want to change a thing about me. Perhaps, it is because he lives in a very tourist populated city of Morocco, and not in a small village, but we discuss all sorts of american movies, music and culture.

When I do wear djlaba for comfort in my home, he prefers that I don't, because it is not appealling to him. He is very hip and in the know..so I wouldn't anticipate any problems there. Also, I have spoken with the German Wife of his best friend who now resides in Germany and they have been happily married for several years and the relationship continues to flourish. My best friend also, is married to a moroccan man and also, has not had any problems with regards to religion, I will grant that there has been an adjustment period for him, as it really is a differant world for him here, but things are going very very well.

No, I am not so needy for anything...I am content with my life here, however, I have been looking towards this new life as an interesting prospect....I am here to observe in this life, and truly whatever happens, we must remember that this life really is just a playground. Nothing happens without a reason and I embrace whatever presents.
