After weeks of training and countless hours sitting in the conference room, it was finally time for us to apply our skills and knowledge to a real world situation.  Team green (the not-so-creative name for all Team Leaders) were signed up for a day of service at the Action Center, located in Lakewood CO.  The only information we had before arriving was that we'd be helping food and clothing donations which would then be used to support the homeless community and those struggling to make ends meet from the community.  I've done work like this on a few previous occasions, but I was not expecting what waited for me at the Action Center.  Although they were forced to shut down their shelter services a few years ago due to lack of funding, the Action Center is doing amazing things with the resources they do have. 

I've officially been in Denver for 10 days and per usual it already feels as though it has been MUCH longer.  From the moment I exited the arrivals hall at DIA - Denver International Airport I have been in constant, go mode.  Tonight it's all finally hitting me, which means a Saturday night of laundry, blogging and binge drama watching, all of which I am totally okay with.  It's 8:30 and I feel like I could go to bed, but to be fair I was up at 7 for a day at the high ropes course and team building, but more on that later.
