I have three, and all three are amazing, wise, and extremely helpful. I realized a month or so ago just how amazing it is to have these three women mentor me this next year. What a gift!
In the past two days, I've met with two of them. They fed me, listened to me, and shared their feedback and advice. And, their advice is invaluable to me as it deals with the organization and preparation and space creation for writing such a long essay. Also, they can address the subtle nuances of speaking to multiculturalism from a relational way of being, something I desire to learn so much. They encourage me to speak to employ a transparent subjectivity and to continue to recognize my particular heritage and experiences while bringing it all back to that social-political-cultural level of engagement as well. Oh, and, they introduce me to other wise women. And, last, they recommend texts for me to read that have inspired them. These meetings are pretty much the best book club and spiritual direction I can imagine.
