Glimmer of Hope

Last week I spoke with a former MOD who walked me through some ideas for a project. Together we identified a potential project for Circles, my group mentoring organization. I'm a little heartened by this idea of identifying an affirmative topic around group mentoring and doing a series of cascading AI interviews about it. Somehow it feels right. I need to approach the Circles administrator about this idea in the next few days. Heck, maybe I'll even email her today.

Progressing Nicely

We had another meeting of our family support group last night. Everyone on the call appears to be progressing nicely with their projects, save for me. I feel worse every day, and the worse I feel the harder it gets to make progress. I'm in a reinforcing negative loop.

Positive Change Corps

MS of Positive Change Corps offered to partner with me for my project. She is working with AI in schools, and there was the potential of doing a project that would bring businesses into schools - in particular, the Intergenerational School in Cleveland. It looked interesting, and it would have solved my lack-of-a-project problem, but the idea of trying to work on something in Cleveland . . . there are only so many hours in a day, so many weeks in a year, and so many vacation days available.

I recognize this is not a very good description of the potential project. Since I've opted out, I'm not going to spend a lot of time documenting what might have been.
