First stop: Boulder to reconnect with home, tulips and kind-hearted friends.
Next stop: Maine to scream Swahili football cheers at Mar while she breathes through contractions. I will be staying throughout the month to teach baby Grady about fashion, cook tagines with my mom and convince Billy to practice morning yoga with me.
June - ?: I’m thinking about a road trip to share late-night kitchen conversations and sun-filled games of Frisbee golf with many of you. Holler if you’re game.
Along the way, I’ll be working on web projects for the organizations that I visited during the trip. Hoping to write a few freelance pieces about the adventures. And lastly, I’m working on securing funding for the Push Play project.
Push Play is an idea to expose the lives of 8 extraordinary female athletes around the world through a video podcast series. I’d set off on another trip to capture the stories. Additionally, I will give each woman a simple digital camera and teach her how to blog. Lastly, I will set up a Web site that would share the professionally produced videos, the blogs and give users the opportunity to donate directly to the athlete’s organization. Here’s the full Push Play game plan. Any and all leads or suggestions are welcomed with open arms.
This was my first attempt at blogging and it became a really important rhythm in my days, as a practice and a way to make my experiences feel shared, even when they were experienced independently. Thanks for following the blog over these months. There will be more stories to tell in this blog on future adventures, but for now....
The End.
