Coninuing forward...

This week was a good one, just like every other week has been so far. We have been waiting patiently to see if any of the clients at Centro would be interested in Mediation... and we might just have our first one coming up, hopefully. The staff is now aware of what they might look for regarding which cases might benefit from mediation, and they are starting to refer clients on to the resources that are currently in place (me, cohort member J, and local lawyer M). While I was en camino (en route) to meet up with my fellow cohort member, I received a call from a contact at Community Mediation Services (CMS). She informed me that she had received my email and was hoping to move forward with the project, and that she was willing to help makes things work for Centro. I pulled the car over, seeing as it was hard to talk and drive a manual car, and we chatted for a few minutes. We came up with some ideas, which I then brought up in my meeting with J (cohort member). We talked about some more opportunities that we might have, as well as what our next steps might be to move forward. We have some good ideas, and hopefully they all start to fall into place. I am hopeful that as we continue forward, the thing that need to fall into place will. Maybe that is just the naive faith that I typically have, or the solid foundational faith that has cause things to always work out the way they are supposed to; either way, I still have faith moving forward.
