You see - as unlikely as it all would be at my great age and antiquity - there is something inside of me that has this idea.... So, Tess, do you or does anyone know of women ancient or modern one could look to in this regard? Blessings and bliss I am interested in the women who “tramp the road as beggars”.

As Richard pointed out, she must have been one scary lady! Thank you for this commemoration of one of my favorite saints and the link to Jan Richardson's website.
