Whew!!! The end of the [[id:fe63c14b-490b-40e0-b6ce-599ae3c9eb21][15Five Virtual Retreat 2021]] was pretty :fire: today. Sat in on a workshop around empathy with [[id:78314571-40c0-4177-b50c-3bc112447444][Jeremiah Drake]] who we'd had at 15Five in the past doing [[id:23a67a06-845a-4836-b557-097e08f44793][Theater of the Oppressed]] work.  He's got such a chill manner and forthright way of speaking.

One of the activities he had us do was from a book call [[id:575cb1ad-74fe-44a3-9695-4fe0638c0f3f][The Empathy Effect]] called [[id:21325ed3-8a9e-4310-9318-8b5d31b6d788][Declaration of Identity]]. I don't usually speak up in these contexts, but I felt moved to read mine out, which went like this:

#+begin_quote
I am a thoughtful, imperfect, forgiving, loving father to my children.
I am a lover of people and a builder of connections with those in my community.
I am an achieving and curious soul who wants, but will never know, all the things.

[[id:16839706-f8b5-496e-b6e6-80150fdb10d6][Jacinta Jimenez]] gave an awesome talk on habits and techniques to avoid [[id:1b2669cb-3d8a-4146-b3ce-583190e30136][Burnout]]. I wonder if there's a path to encouraging folks to work on these and share them with their managers.

  Didn't have time to check in this morning because I was almost late to the ME200 committee meeting! I was up around 7:30 pretty well but then fell back asleep until almost 8:45!

I was able to get coffee made and make it to the meeting on time. The discussion around what to do with 2021 and the [[id:d4dd073c-0fed-40c1-97a2-450c2e528ba5][Maine 200 Celebration]] was great, too. We've decided to punt until 2022 but still try to plan a summer event. With some of the money, the hope is to put up some sort of memorial this year. [[id:01afb454-a574-4950-959c-385a93827d9a][Pat Bishop]] wants some sort of statue and we're going to reach out to [[id:526acfcc-b27f-47ac-9c71-52ac36894224][Goody-B Wiseman]] to this end, but we're holding open a simpler idea of just putting up a memorial bench or plaque somewhere.
