The second day of the ALC Experience was the start of my final week. The energy is so very high. We went to the skate park where some of us skated and others drew pictures with me. Then off to the Bishop Museum! Where I learned about the formation of Hawaii from volcanos and in the …
The past three weeks have felt really small and empty. With spring break and two weeks missing over half our kids the energy has been a bit low and mellow. It felt a little scary even. Today, however, began a free “experience” week here at ALC Oahu. We’ve invited interested families to come for three …
I’ve been having such a blast up in here in Waialua that I missed 2 weeks of reflective blog posts! I started week 7 with cutting open some coconuts fresh off the tree, best water I’ve ever had. Later that day my friend Katie flew in. She is the same friend who came to Everett Washington just over a …
I moved up to the North Shore of Oahu over the weekend to a place called Mokuleia. I’m staying with @seamus and his family. It’s a much better setup than my previous place. I’ve agreed to share 6 hours of web work per week with Lisa in exchange for the room. This week has been very busy …
Today is my last day in my Manoa apartment. I’ve been dealing with a bit of a pest problem there and it’s nice to be leaving that behind. I hope the next space I live in will have a desk, for I do quite a bit of work and sitting on a bed using a …
It’s been another exciting week in Oahu. Over the last weekend I hung out at The Cut with some people practicing break dancing. Alex, who is someone we are looking to collaborate with made me this beautiful and delicious dish. I also got involved in a web project that aims to create a resource for …
Another fun and exciting week in Oahu. I feel like I’m starting to get into my flow. This week I went to a few events where I met awesome people. I joined the kids for some awesome play and adventures. I swam in the ocean, explored the marsh land, created a gameshifting board, and am just rockin’ …
This has been my first full week at ALC Oahu. I’ve set the week, participated in morning meetings, afternoon gratitude, trips to the beach, card playing, discussions about the legacy of Martin Luther King, and much much more. Tuesday After missing the bus, then taking it in the wrong direction I was finally able to …
Landed in Honolulu the other night and went directly to my first day at ALC Oahu. Met @dyson, @adrianna, and Seamus along with @ninablanco and @mandyjayh. We drove out to Baby Makapu’u Beach and went snorkeling. Mandy lent me her mask and snorkel because the water is “too cold”. Lucky for me I did the Polar …
