Voices of Western Colorado: Current

CURRENT

The pulse of spring in Western Colorado — moving in flow with the community, tuned to the rhythms of the season and carried forward by the shared momentum of adventure and leisure. “Current” captures the feeling of being fully present and plugged in: connected to the people, places and experiences that shape this region, and riding the energy that emerges when a community moves together.

We Asked These Western Slope Locals to Weigh in on This Topic

JAMIE WOOD

Co-Founder of FarmersMarket.store

“For me, ‘current’ means living in the moment and staying in rhythm with the land and the people around us. On the Western Slope, spring brings renewed movement, fields being planted, river water flowing in the canals and food shifting back to what’s fresh and local. Seasonal eating is current. It connects us to this place, supports local farmers and grounds daily life in what’s happening right now. At FarmersMarket.store, we use modern tools, online ordering, local food hubs and delivery to make seasonal eating easier. Being current means using today’s technology to strengthen our local food system and community.”

MARTA CZAJKOWSKA

Transformational Coach at Masters of Badassery

“As a coach who guides people to the edge of their known selves, I see ‘current’ as a cure for the stuck and the numb, a crack in the crust of the dull and the dense. It is the river remembering its path, moving without permission, teaching us how to move, too. Spring doesn’t strive — it thaws into presence. A single breath of now swells into wholeness, like the pulse of blood inside the body of the land. Current is myth in motion, threshold made water. When stone yields to flow, it carries not just water, but remembering: inevitably, it flows toward love.”

SARAH FOGLE

Co-Owner of Fogle Custom Homes

“As a local community member and the co-owner of Fogle Custom Homes, to me the word ‘current’ means staying connected to the community we serve. It’s about understanding our community and its needs. Current is about honoring tradition while embracing innovation. Listening to local families, staying engaged in neighborhood conversations and creating homes that truly fit the lifestyles of our community. It also means giving back, showing up and investing in the health of our community. Staying with the current means building more than homes, it means strengthening the community and embracing our responsibility to build with care, relevance and integrity.”
