Just a Bag Cont’d

**Before you is a table, resting beneath a lamppost!  The soft glow cast from the lantern, falls upon a note, held in place by a small Ivory figurine.   Pulling the note from beneath the small object, your eyes are drawn to the message…

Welcome… all of you who are here to lend your aid…  I believe we are ready to begin this great adventure!  I have given you as much preparation as I can from here.  The rest will be up to you.  Since I already have my bag, and have no need to pack it, I have gone down the path ahead to prepare our first meeting place.  I will await your arrival, as I am sure you will need a few days to prepare your bag.  Please do not be alarmed by my absence, and trust that I will be waiting for you just inside the forest, down this path.  Look for me where the path crosses the river, just beyond this valley…

*Tip 1*  I actually got out my colored pencils and drew a picture of my bag.  I am a visual learner, so I reinforced the picture in my mind by the act of doing (drawing it).  I would suggest you try this as well, but only a suggestion.

*Tip2*  Ask questions!  Help me help you have fun with this!  Treat this like your mental vacation, provided to you by Imaginary Air!

*Tip3*  If this is a vacation, Relax!  I will do all the mental driving, but I really do wish for you to ask me questions, as they will be shaping the direction our adventure takes!

*Tip4*  I recommend you get to know each other before departing, to ensure you feel a growing sense of TEAM, so to speak.  Being aware of who wishes to help, and where, is vital in building a solid foundation to this endeavor!

I am sure that you are excited to depart, and you might be wondering why you are still milling about the lobby. All that I can tell you is that I was given 3 messages to gather all that are needed. It is not for me to question, but rather, to prepare you and trust in your patience… No one gets left behind, remember, we are only as fast as the slowest members…
