University of Maine at Augusta

This week I spent two days, at home in CA, looking for my winter gloves. Why? you ask. Because, on Tuesday I left sunny and WARM southern California to travel to Maine to teach women the importance of personal safety. If you love 17 degree weather, then Maine is the place for you! The cold weather couldn't stop the hospitality of the program organizers at the University of Maine at Augusta. Starting from the left is Rose, Ann and Melissa. Not only did they put together a wonderful Women's Wellness Day for the students at UMA they also treated me to a homecooked luncheon. How cool is that?
My hands-on program took place in an open lounge area and let me tell you this, there were 4-5 male students who stopped by the program who were more than happy to stand in as my Mr. Bad Guys. They all had some wonderful tips and suggestions to share with the women attending the program. Many, many thanks to these "good guys". It makes me so happy to see men that are aware and willing to step up to the plate and help stop violence against women.

Thank you to all the people who made this day possible for the women at UMA. Keep up the good work, you are making a difference!
