What Are Your Needs? - #81

Fourth Friday after Phenomena Post. Sitting in Room 201 Pappajohn Educational Center, downtown Des Moines. Directly in front of me, written with green marker on whiteboard, the word NEEDS, followed by these words: Allies Sex Ed Support System Safety Coping Skill Access to Service Role Model Mentors Trained Professionals Can you guess what continuing education workshop I'm attending? Consider this a contest - submit your guess by replying to this email. I will publish your guess (with or without name) next week and tell you the name of the workshop. You may be surprised. You can also consider whether or not you have these same needs and if so, whether or not they are being met. During my break, which was restorative because I ate brook trout fresh out of the Thompson River, read multiple books, had plenty of time for exercising and relaxing, played a day and two nights of Pepper, spent time with a ten month old who was delightful, and hiked around Bear Lake twice. There were also challenges: escaping flood waters in CO and enduring technology's dark side, sending my ASUS Ultrabook back to factory. This means I'm composing on my IPad and will be until UB comes home. You can expect shorter posts, no pictures, and perhaps a little less enthusiasm. Probably these challenges are raising shadow issues! Thanks for exploring the mystery - Nicky Mendenhall
