I want to tell you that I read that Skin Hunger post and I just loved it. The way you talked about your relationship with your brother and how much his comments helped you over the days of your early coming out. It was a very moving picture of what you went through and I thank you very much for the authenticity of your response. You are one in a million and we all love you!Bless you, good brother. That article felt good to write. I went balls-out, no holding back.
About a year ago, I was mentoring a group of Tops online. I was also coaching a new, 45-year-old Mentor, and had invited him to join us and share freely as he saw the opportunities arise.


Keeping my mentees and protégés at arm’s-length would be an unfair way to keep our relationships asymmetric, and I would always be “ahead” of them. How nice for me, and how awkward for them, right?

I want them to get to MY level, and as soon as possible. I want to support the creation of new peers, not peons or acolytes. Mentoring is not an ego-trip, it’s a mission to build NEW mentors, leaders and role-models for a community that needs many more of them.

How will I ever be able to experience THEIR vulnerability, if they don’t feel comfortable self-expressing around me?
