Alternative Spring Break

Hey YALL this is not Bronco Keli Everett...this is her wicked most favorite team member Michelle Cleps Wright. So it's 2:14 am on sat march 24,(no I'm not going to sleep during my last hours here) and i'm sorry to say it's the VERY last day of asb magic twa pod "week 3." It's been an amazing week, and I can't believe all our work here is over. To think that I almost stayed home because I was sick! One of the greatest testaments to the power of this experience being that the moment I was amongst all of these amazing individuals, I felt 100% better. The positive energy just hums through this group of people, everyone is just so happy to be here and so willing to give their time and hearts to a common and beautiful cause. Having never done anything like this, I had no idea what to expect coming into this program, but I came in with an open mind and an open heart and it's been such an awesome, life changing experience. I've met so many wonderful, fun, halarious, "super fabulous" people, many of whom are now life long friends. The devastation here in SWLA has been so underrepresented in our country, I my self was even unaware of the capacity of Rita's affects here. But asb has been a vehicle for awareness and change, bringing some wonderful young people together to do some powerful and inspiring work. I just want to give a shout out to my awesome BIG TEAM E! (E= estrogen=man free= whole lotta woman power!) To Chedda and Bronco, you two encouraged, inspired, and cracked me up every single day. To bones, pickles, papi, hemi, playa, naners, ducky, patch, bandy, Shyra, and Kathy Ellen, I couldn't have asked for a better group. And to all the other awesome people I've come to love, Alicia, Maddie, Ali, Marty, Layla, Bryan, Gabriela, Christina, Megin, Michael, Travis, Keith, Steve, Nicole, Clark Kent, Darryl, Suzannah, Emily, Shawn, and of course to Emily "best ever" Burns, you're the reason I'm here and I can't begin to thank you enough, we're pretty much the best ever.
....love you all! Can't wait for next year....keep being awesome.
peace, Michelle
