Our challenge today was working with Blake to create our own personal websites. This was a great project for everyone here in the program to participate in because the internet is the biggest hub of information on people available, so if we want to be relevant, we need to be out there, making a mark.

I stand on the rocky hillside. I have a perfect view out over the valley and the huge, stretching fields of Paonia. Mount Lamborn stands proud and tall in front of me, the white lamb-shaped mark for which it was named shining in the sun, my view unobstructed by any trees. Twenty-five years ago this […]

Today’s challenge for our group was to make a workout video for people at home to watch and follow along with. We used a theme we thought would be great for people everywhere: a minimalist routine with a partner. The point was to be able to do all of the exercises with nothing but a […]

Do you remember the last time a stranger did something for you and how it made you feel? Today’s challenge was to perform radical acts of kindness for others. Our goal was to complete two acts of kindness on our own in the span of two hours, then to collaborate on two group projects for […]

Today our challenge was to cut each other’s hair and do some internal/external makeovers. Before we even began Jack decided to shave his legs, which ended in the lovely discovery of mild ringworm. Whoops. Our first task was to find out hair cutting techniques and brainstorm about it because no one had much haircutting experience […]

For this adventure, my group had to get from our place up on Pitkin Mesa to P hill, which was all the way across town. We started by going around this big gully by our house because we were less likely to be seen there, but, of course, our neighbor decided to walk her goats […]
