Looking forward to your television series from the white board! Will it be a detective drama, adventure game show, or something else?

You know... at the time that I wrote that (2017), I had a few ideas: 1) a reality show about being a small business owner... 2) a show where I took non-outdoorsy celebrities backpacking for the first time, and 3) an inspirational show where I 'surprised' folks with either a summit-top Musical Mountaineers concert... or something else extraordinary. So, I am totally open to the possibilities and think they would all be a blast - ha!

I love this story combo! Your story connection reminds me of a professor I had in graduate school that described learning as a process of introducing students to material they can connect with, make learning relevant to something they already know. Believing in oneself is a difficult concept to teach but your stories provide a good trail marker to help show the way.

Great post…any thoughts on a Kula line of ankle gaiters?! (I love the ones your mom has on in the photo).

Also, I applied to test the Pyka shorts but I won’t be in the States until April so it may not work with your production schedule. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve actually thought about a gaiter design before!! Stay tuned… maybe that’s next!

And thank you for applying!! I am in the process of figuring out when the samples might be ready (waiting for fabric to print!), so once I figure the timing out, I’ll be reaching out to potential testers. I’m excited for people to try them!
