Today I had lunch with my instructor of the War and Peace class I took. I met with another classmate and we had such a great conversation. Mr. Bill has a lot of insight, he really got me thinking. ... He said in order to define my inner feelings and desires with Mothering Africa, one must get to know yourself first - what are your gifts, what are your values, and what are you naturally good at? He said ask a lot of questions, as many as possible. He suggested asking questions such as... Is anyone else doing what you want to do? Who is it and what are the results of their work? Who do you want to be involved? What is the end result of this experience? The deeper the questions you ask, the deeper the response, and the deeper your journey to Africa. He also talked about how ideas are good, but one must put them in tangibles and achievable outcomes or goals. He has opened up his wisdom to many more meetings and said I could email or call him as much as I would like. It's feels good to be supported and mentored.
