Needs - Information

Physical Activities/Relaxation
- I'm trying to understand what to do when I have a wild amount of energy. I'd like to be able to focus it and direct it towards something positive and healing for me and the world. There may be some answers in traditional Easter philosophies and practices.
- It would be nice to have a place to just hang out and relax that is free and open to the public, and warm, and friendly, while also allowing me to just be myself. The library is pretty good, for example, but you can't eat there, and you can't take a nap there, really. If you know of a good community center or some similar place in the Boston area, especially Somerville, and Cambridge, that is really flexible about what you do in the space. I'd love to hear about it.
- I want to learn to juggle! I really do!

Sensory Goodies
- always looking for suggestions for good movies, music, books, magazines that support a healthy, compassionate, positive, effective, intelligent, and fun approach to life
- Good raw food recipes and suggestions and sources.

Unconditional Love/Support
- got any leads? :-)

Safety
- I need to know some options for making a living that is in line with my morals, and works with my capabilities. I'd like to earn a living from the work I do with The Wise Turtle, and use Local Cabbage to help that happen. Any ideas for making that a reality?

Healthy Relationships
- again, got any leads? I could always learn more about effective and compassionate communication. I want to learn how to make people feel generally good about themselves and thier world when I'm with them.

Community Work
- I need a space to offer workshops and counseling. Preferably free, warm, quiet, and comfy! A community center, office. meeting space, or big living room, would be graet!

Needs - Services and Products

Nutritious Food
- food! (I eat a raw diet)

Sensory Goodies
- always looking for cheap or free good movies, music, books, magazines that support a healthy, compassionate, positive, effective, intelligent, and fun approach to life
- The book The Farther Reaches of Haman Nature by Abraham Maslow.
- Thanks Mom!I'd love a subscription to Seed magazine!
- Raw food recipe books. In particular, the book Ani's Raw Kitchen, by Ani Phyo would be great, as would the book I am Grateful from Cafe Gratitude.

Healthy Environment/Ecosystem
- safe roadways, with respect and awareness given to cyclists and pedestrians, as well as other road users
- someone to hook up my solar panel to the roof(?) and a battery and charge controller (as soon as I have a place to live more permanantly)

Unconditional Love/Support
- Yep!

Safety
- It'd be nice if I wasn't always having to worry about being homeless!

Housing (long term)
- I'd love a home of my own! Or a place to share with others. In the shorter term nowish and for at least several months, I need some very affordable housing in the Boston area. In the long term, I'd love a small but comfy place near public transportation and with a bit of garden space to offer me, preferably in Eastern Mass, Maine, or Vermont?

Clothes
- I lost a whole lot of weight, and most of my old clothes don't fit anymore. I'l love some gypsy type clothes for a short woman with a small to medium build. I especially love anything maroon! Black and blue-green and purple are good too. Skirts, sundresses, shirts, and stretchy pants (think yoga pants) are very useful.

Transportation
- A high quality, very bright bike headlight/headlamp with LEDs and that takes AA batteries, for biking in dark suburban and rural roads at night.
- A good bike pump! One that works with presta valves (as well as the standard Schrader valves).
- Currently, I very much need rides (or money to take the bus) from Falmouth Mass, to the Boston area. And occasionally, I like to borrow/share a motor vehicle to transport me and lots of stuff here and there (I'll be moving soon, I hope), or make a trip to visit my mom in Maine, or for her to visit me in the Boston area.

Healthy Relationships
- Yep! I'm not much of a social butterfly, but I'm always looking for people to talk deep philosophy, and even some lighter stuff, with.
- I wouldn't mind some relationship counseling to understand what's going on with my life and my loved ones...
- Anyone really an expert at NLP and/or hypnosis who could give me some changework, like a parts integration, and some other good stuff, so that my conscious mind and my unconscious mind are working together to help me be healthier and happier, so that I can get along better with other people and collaborate with them more effectively?

Leadership Skills
- Help with Local Cabbage!
Coding geeks!
Tax pros!
PR folks!

Anyone with something wonderful to offer the world!

- I'd love to have lots of copies of the audio book "Conscious Business" by Fred Kofman to give out/sell cheaply to people interested in running a sustainable non-profit business.

Higher Education
- I'd love to be able to take a class or two in a variety of subjects, including website design/coding, animation, conflict mediation. I'd also love to take some more NLP classes with Richard Bandler or others who can help me learn to be more effective and compassionate when communicating with others.
