If you aren’t already in the habit of reading the columns on AikiWeb, be sure to head over there and check out my column about my experience of our recent open mat / exam prep sessions. I write as part of a group of women calling ourselves The Mirror. This month was my turn to write, and we all collaborate on editing and revisions. :-)

And while you are there, read the other columns as well. There is some amazingly good writing and information there every month.
