The day after Patrick returned to Japan, I flew to Boulder. It was colder in Boulder than Chapel Hill. I bought a proper winter coat that week. And I met Joel on January 2, 2008.

  Week 5: Appreciations for 5 of Boulder’s Emerging Leaders Appreciations, conversations, entrepreneurship |

  This past week I met with some of Boulder's local leaders. Rather than keeping them (and their incredible work) all to myself, thought I'd share with you how much I appreciate them. This is week five in my ongoing Appreciation Project. 42. CC Pelmas CC, thank you for being such an inspiration! You come into the room bringing love, energy, passion. Although our relationship has only begun, I trust that the potential within it cannot be underestimated. Thank you for being a champion for the feminine and for women's stories. 43. Ryan Oelke Ryan. You inspire me constantly. ...
