Encourage your hopes not your fears!


"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage such as these that the belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples to build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

From the Montana campaign trail

Well, here it is. The day we've been working for. We'll never know if we were able to sway any of those undecideds we've talked to over the last two months, but we did our best, and in the process learned a lot about ourselves and a whole lot about Barack Obama and his vision and plan for our country. I hope, at the end of the day, or by mid-week, the decision will be made, and he'll be our nominee. I'm looking forward to his debates with McCain. Today we'll do more Get Out the Vote. We have li… Continue

Last night I had one of those moments.

Last night I had one of those moments. One of those moments that while you’re experiencing it, there’s that tiny voice in your head that keeps saying –Wow, Wow, Wow. One of those moments that even while you’re experiencing it, it’s like you’re also watching yourself experience it. I’ve had these moments before – they’re few and far between – probably what makes them so shocked through with energy and immediacy. Skiing through bare aspens on a cold winter day, watching my ski tips, sensing so… Continue

Like Aspen, Jackson turns to subsidized housing to keep local populace.

"This place will turn into Disneyland if we don’t have anybody that actually lives here." Christine Walker, director of the Teton County Housing Authority, which works to provide affordable housing for Jackson workers to keep the Wyoming resort town viable. - Aspen Times

Dishwashing around the United States

I was listening to an episode of This American Life today called Road Trip!
One of the stories was about this guy that travels from dishwashing job to dishwashing job on the Greyhound.
He's written a book called: Dishwasher: One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States
by Pete Jordan
Here's a short excerpt about the book from Amazon:
"
For 12 years, Jordan (aka Dishwasher Pete) tramped about the U.S. washing dishes. Despite a… Continue

I was actually there the night Begee proposed to Erin at the Ranch! I think it was in December. She popped out of her dorm-room door, yelling, "I'm engaged!" It was so cute. :)
I spent quite a bit of time at Esalen Institute and Mount Madonna Center (both intentional communities/holistic learning centers in CA) a few years back. I think Kalani will be similar, and it's about time to do the retreat center thing again!! :)

Hi Kathi! I spent the summer in West Glacier, MT--working at West Glacier Mercantile (got it on coolworks of course!) I thought I had told you that, but maybe not....? This has been a great place to work and I will possibly come back next summer. Anyway, my last day is a week from today and then my mom and I are going to Prague for about a month and then I will be in HI for the winter! I am going to volunteer at Kalani Honua on the Big Island. It's a retreat center--check it out at www.kalani.com . Hope you are well!!
Love, Lucy

Hi Kathi, I've just been thinking about blogging about my first impressions of Basin Harbor. It's varied. But I'm trying to keep in mind that some things are not controllable...like the weather. I have the time set to go kayaking and there's a thunderstorm... A lot of the socialization centers around alcohol, but that's nothing new, seasonal or otherwise. I've taken off 50 pounds since February and still working on another 25-30...I'm viewing alcohol as just empty calories. So at first I was thinking along the lines of not quite fitting in...but I think that's really my choice and everyone else has been pleasant otherwise. I'll get it all worked out in my head and will probably blog about it sometime this weekend. I still have to do the version of Good, Bad and Ugly about the Kay El Bar too. Trying to come up with a fair appraisal, and not coming up with much in the bad category.

Kathi, The message center on my page says it is not working.
I called the PO in Moran and she said that all packages in the last month were sent to Signal Mtn Lodge.
