For this post I've decided to take a slight break and instead talk about one family who are featured on the Learning to Love You More website as a family who managed to complete all 63 assignments (that is how many there were in 2007 with seven more been added to the list since.)
The Oliver family wrote a blog which gave constant updates on them completing each assignment which you can read here if you so wish. The work was then displayed at Bumbershoot 2007, a music and arts festival in Seattle.
For a while I felt a bit guilty about not completing more assignments than I have done at this point, but reading the Oliver's blog and realizing it took 6 members of the family months to complete reassured me slightly.
I have commented on their blog to let them know that I am attempting a similar blog, with less success when it comes to the number of completed assignments and the quality of work I have done in comparison. Whether they still read the blog though, it’s been nearly a year since the last post, I'll just have to wait and see.
So this is a smaller post than usual with normal services resuming from now on.

Oh, Ewan; We've received your message and wish you all the best on your quest to complete the assignments. I've been musing myself that it might be a hoot to spend some time this summer doing whatever new assignments have been posted since we completed the 63. I think actually that we did 65 but the last two didn't get finished in time to be in the exhibit.
ReplyDeleteSome of them will seem trite and others will change your life but you won't know which will do what and the sum total of them will affect you in the future in ways you cannot begin to imagine. Good Luck - I'll be watching your progress. I'm going right now to see what you've done so far...
