The limp March lion continues. Today was just cold. And tomorrow we are forecast to get another inch of snow. But then the forecast calls for eight days with high temps in the upper 40’s, 50’s, and even the 60’s over the next nine days. For those longing for warmer weather and no snow, hope is on the horizon.
My morning was spent on Zoom with the Falmouth Immigrant Rights Coalition. This organization was formed last January and now has over 400 members. We meet on Zoom twice a month and during every meeting I learn so much. The organizer and leader of the group is one of the most dedicated people I have ever met and I always learn so much from her. Then this afternoon I met with two women who have expressed an interest in helping with Indivisible meetings and trainings, serving as observers and coaches to help us make sure we are meeting our goals and getting our message across successfully. After our meeting, I realized just how much I am going to learn from our association. Then tonight, Aminta Steinbach and I led the Indivisible training on being a Prepared Protester. Aminta is twenty years younger than I, but despite the age difference, we have so much to learn from each other. She is dynamic presenter, but she needs someone to organize. I did the research, the organizing, and handling of all details and technical aspects of the training tonight, allowing Aminta to work her magic and make a powerful presentation. She is the chef and I am the sous chef. I know I am learning more from her than she is learning from me, but I also know we are both lifelong learners, seeking the most effective ways to get our messages across to people. It is exhausting and exhilarating and exciting, all at the same time, to be doing and learning so much at this point in my life. I feel blessed to have this opportunity and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
