After more than 6 months of attending slide shows, social engagements, general meetings and so forth, my wife (Gail) and I decided to join the family-friendly Wolf Creek Commons cohousing community in February 2008. We were searching for a renewed sense of community in our lives, along with a focus on green/sustainable living practices, and WCC seems like just the ticket. Our professional lives (software for me, school business/accounting for her) keep us overly busy, but the friendships and sense of progress provided by WCC help us balance our lives better than we might otherwise. We’re both looking forward to the day when we can join other WCC members in a healthy, self-determined, caring environment, amidst the trees along Wolf Creek, where we’ll rely less on our automobiles and more on our neighbors (who will also be our friends).
I’m working on this blog as another means of sharing my excitement about the success of our community with others, in hopes that more like-minded families and individuals will choose to join us.
