Today I went to a luncheon sponsored by Mercy Connections, the organization that coordinates the mentoring program. They premiered a video created to highlight the value of such a mentoring program, and it was poignant. If I had any doubts before, they are washed away.

I have a feeling that this whole organization is calling to me and will become an important part of my life. They really understand the concept of empowerment and that is one I choose to embrace.

Moving ahead

So, I plan to go ahead with this new activity in my life. I hope I can be of help to someone else, but I know that I stand to learn more than I could ever teach.

Among the things that interests me is the need to let go of my own ego about what I "have to offer." It's not about me. It's about her. I offer friendship and support. I offer agape - unconditionality, and that's likely something that a woman in this situation has little experience with. I will need to learn to be more quiet, more of a listener than a speaker, more Light and less ego. It will be a challenge, but I suspect it is the one (or one of the ones) that I really need in order to take the next leaps in my own development.

So, who is the beneficiary of this project? Both of us, I hope, but I will be for sure.
