Mon Mar 8 11:21:01 PST 2021

A story about how Tree schooled me on the needs of introverts, along with a
long comment from her.  THis is why she meant so much to me. This post
catches a powerful teaching moment for me and it changed my practice:

>> We’ll be sharing stories at the celebration so please bring yours.Additional
>> Ways to Celebrate Share FavoritesWhether or not you come to the

>>
>>    - Post on her Facebook Memorial event page
>>    <https://www.facebook.com/events/764707827506392/?active_tab=discussion>
>>    - Send music suggestions and pictures to Nancy White at
>>    nancy.white at gmail.com. We’ll use them during the memorial service so
>>    share now!
>>
>> Make a Donation
>> Three suggestions from her daughter:
>>
>>
>>    - Walker Art Center
>>    <https://walkerart.org/>This is an incredible museum in Minneapolis
>>    that my mother took me to once a month as a child, and at which my mother
>>    was a volunteer and tour guide.
>>
>>    - Saint Francis Friends of the Poor <https://stfrancisfriends.org/>.
>>    This is an organization in NYC whose mission is as follows: "to offer
>>    permanent housing and supportive services to homeless men and women with
>>    histories of chronic mental illness." Saint Francis Friends of the
>>    Poor is an organization that is near and dear to my heart, and with which I
>>    work closely. They are trailblazers who revolutionized the supportive
>>    housing model in NYC 40 years ago, and are well known to be the
>>    standard-bearers for the provision of housing and services to individuals
>>    with chronic mental illness in New York. I consider my work with St.
>>    Francis and other similar organizations to be my own personal way to honor
>>    my mother, and I can’t think of a better way for her friends to honor her
>>    than to support the work of an organization dedicated to providing a
>>    dignified, meaningful life to individuals with similar challenges.
>>
>>    - *Dr. Marsha M. Lineham’s Legacy at the University of Washington*
>>
>>    <https://depts.washington.edu/uwbrtc/about-us/support-dr-linehans-legacy/>This
>>    fund will create fellowships in Dr. Lineham’s name to support students who
>>    are training to be the next generation of dialectical behavior
>>    therapy (DBT) practitioners and researchers. Dr. Lineham’s program
>>    brought my mother to Seattle, and she often spoke of their positive impact.
