My next interview with Oma Hamou found her sitting alone in the posh Beverly Hills Peninsula hotel. She was looking very elegant, almost prim and studious -hunched over papers and notebooks that were spread out on a little table. She had on black rimmed glasses, hair pulled up; knee length, oatmeal-colored skirt; very sleek black long sleeved sweater; and a pair of knee high boots with a slight heel. As I got closer, Oma looked up and smiled. She gathered her things and removed her glasses and smiled. "I need glasses, especially at night when I drive. I am blind as a bat", Oma laughed as she sipped her water.
Turns out I had caught her preparing a letter to President Putin. "It's always nerve racking trying to think of the right words to write to the President of any nation, even more so to His Holiness the Moscow Patriarch,??? Oma said.
Oma reached in her brief case and handed me a small gift, a candle as a token of her appreciation for my understanding. I explained that I understood and that I also understood that Oma was a busy woman, a woman who has a crisp manner of business and purpose. A woman on a mission!
I found Oma to be an open and a hardworking person. She is an undeniably a beautiful woman that remains both honest and true to herself, while managing to be accepted and embraced for her individuality. Oma has a strong personality - so strong people either love her or hate her. What is it about her that provokes such powerful feelings? "I don't know!" Oma said, shaking her head, "I don't know. And some people have never met me." Does it hurt her feelings? Oma paused for a moment, and then conceded, "It does, sometimes things that have happened in my life or what I've said are taken the wrong way and it's crazy to be misinterpreted and it bothers me,??? Oma pauses. ???But I just don't think about it a lot. I've learned that I have no control over people's perceptions of me."
