@kanaazpereira Thank you for the lovely welcome. For some reason I feel more pressure now than I did when I was just a responder, but I will try to be a source of reassurance, and when possible of some information -- of course with the caveat that the healthcare provider should be contacted about any questions.

@contentandwell, I've seen you responding lately in various parts of Connect, and you are doing great. Just being yourself and responding just like you always have is just the ticket.

I appreciate the honesty in your post, @contentandwell. I would also encourage you, as Lisa did, to just continue doing what you have always done. I believe the Colleen would agree with this. Colleen asked you to be a Mentor because she appreciated the work you were doing before you became a Mentor. Since you feel more pressure now, I'd suggest that you forget about the fact that you are a Mentor now and just be what you've always been, a caring, encouraging and thoughtful Member of the Connect community.
Does that sound like a plan?

Jane, You have a comforting and a supportive way of responding to members. I noticed this when I first met you. I have always enjoyed conversations with you. Do you remember when we discussed sitting on the porch sipping tea together? That is the one of my favorite images.
As the others have already said, you don't need to reinvent yourself.
If I can be of any assistance - Please let me know.

@contentandwell you have inspired this new guidance post for new mentors:
