Video from this years Guild Gala…So sweet!

This is Drayton.

Tue, 08 Jan 2013 06:20:46 -0500

He is a 3 year old that receives therapy services at The Bell Center - the non-profit where I work. In February I’ll be running the Mercedes Marathon as part of a relay team in his honor.

Our relay team is raising money to support The Bell Center and the therapies they provide to children across the state. Our goal is to raise $2600 - that’s $100 for every mile we’re going to run.

To learn more about Bici Coop’s relay team and about little Drayton, visit our fundraising page here:

While you’re there, please consider donating to our fundraising efforts to support The Bell Center for Early Intervention Programs.

Love this. We’re taking one of our classes from the Bell Center there later this summer. I think it’s going to be so much fun!

I’ve been working on a great project over the month or so that’s a total rebrand of a local urban farm called Jones Valley Teaching Farm, and I’m excited to be able to talk about it a bit. If you’re from around here, you probably know it by its original name, Jones Valley Urban Farm, but during the rebrand they really wanted to go out of their way to let people know they don’t just grow and sell produce, they connect with schools to educate students about nutrition and stuff as simple as where their food comes from.

I’m not sure why I’m trying to explain what they do…they do it way better:

Jones Valley Teaching Farm is not just a place where delicious food grows — it’s a place where young minds blossom. Our mission, put simply, is to make our community a healthier place. And our focus is empowering future generations with an education to eat smarter, think healthier—and live better.

Soon, I’ll be adding photos from the project to the blog and probably as a gallery on my main site, but for now, the above video is part of their new fund raising initiative that’s being matched dollar-for-dollar by Protective Life. I had the pleasure of working with designer and creative director Kelly Householder and copywriting guru / director Jordan Sowards, and I can’t wait for the next JVTF project!

Also, Happy Birthday to my big brother.

Sending thoughts of peace to Prince (and his owner/handler Tina), our Hand in Paw therapy dog from last year.

He was loved and will be missed.

Today has been non-stop. Sheesh.

Alan fixed all of the tricycles that needed repair today. There are three that needed more attention so he’s taking them to the work shop to get repaired. Those elves do good work.

Last night it poured - coupled with ridiculous amounts of thunder. Neither of us slept well but it wasn’t because of the rain. We’re both on edge about house stuff. More than once last night Alan woke me up talking - more like shouting - in his sleep. “Inspection!” And then later, “Support beams!”

This process of buying a house is defeating at times.
