Rest Haven

February 4, 2014

The SafeZone is a service for homeless youth. They have medical clinics, GED programs, find and subsidize housing for six months, job assistance, shelters, clothes closet, case management, food shelf, meals, walk-in counseling, shower/laundry service, computer lab, resource room, independent living skills, sexual health education and street outreach. I pitched the agency to hold a series of courses for young women in their system. My topics include but are not limited to:

Heartfelt Living
Humble Forgiveness
Opportunistic Vulnerability
Creating Right Livelihood
Underemployed Power
Spiritual and Financial Prosperity
Transitional Relationship Success
Creative Calm
Loving Altruism
Enlightening Eating for a Healthy Body
Loving Kindness
Truthful Compassion
The Journey for Best Place to Land
Open Vulnerability
Splendid Acceptance

This simply means that I will not be able to go out and play very much in the next…oh, say, ten months, but I promise to keep the noise down to a dull roar and drink responsibly from the couch, with the laptop glaring in front of me.  If only I knew someone with a little hut on the beach in some tropical island or a remote cabin at the base of a mountain, to hide away, hammer out the details of my curriculum. Wringing material out of my noggin is not always a simple task. Lots of snacks in small bowls within arms reach are helpful.
