Workshops, conferences, and retreats help us fill our wells, connect with others in The Work, and restore our energy and drive. However, these opportunities come too far and few in between. What are some daily and regular practices that can help us keep sustained, happy, and motivated? Learn strategies, share wisdom, and plan for reentering our daily lives that we continue to be the best advocates, educators, and practitioners we can be.

5. In the Words of The Four Tops…
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
When you feel lost and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're drifting out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold
Reach out
I'll be there, to love and comfort you
And I'll be there, to cherish and care for you
I'll be there, with a love that will see you through
I'll be there to love and comfort you
Just look over your shoulder
And I'll be there, you can always depend on me
6. Coalition of Experts and Allies
Tell me what it’s like…
What might have been going on
when…
What would you suggest…
What could I do next time…
Am I totally off base or…
Can I run something by you?
I need to empty my bucket…

19. Stubborn Ounces
(To the One Who Doubts the Worth of Doing Anything If You Can’t Do
Everything)
by Bonaro W. Overstreet
You say the Little efforts that I make
will do no good: they never will prevail
to tip the hovering scale
where Justice hangs in balance.
I don’t think I ever thought they would.
But I am prejudiced beyond debate
in favor of my right to choose which side
shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.

20. More Ways to Grow
Attend more workshops
Have more real discussions with people
who affirm you
Have more real one-on-one dialogue with
people who may or may not affirm you
Continue to learn and grow in your
knowledge base for content AND skills
