A few months ago I was very flattered to be invited to join a group of writers who collectively write “The Mirror” – one of several monthly columns on AikiWeb. This month was my turn, and the column was published today. :-) (Click the heading of this post to jump to it.)

A little about the group who write the column:

“The Mirror” is a collaborative column written by a group of women who describe themselves as:
We comprise mothers, spouses, scientists, artists, teachers, healers, and yes, of course, writers. We range in age from 30s through 50s, we are kyu ranked and yudansha and from various parts of the United States and styles of aikido. What we have in common is a love for budo that keeps it an integral part of our busy lives, both curiosity about and a commonsense approach to life and aikido, and an inveterate tendency to write about these explorations.
