It was a beautiful sunny day in Lake Stevens as my mom and I headed out to look for a good car wash. She had been recovering from hip surgery so the car had been parked under a tree and it needed a serious cleaning. What we found was a beautiful, loving family in need teaming up to save their new born baby daughter. They were working to help themselves bring home their tiny angel who waits at Children’s hospital in Seattle. “Wow. Your car is really dirty! You need a car wash.” A little boy called out from his post in the back of a pickup. “Get it clean!” He pointed us where to go. It took maybe seven people to wash mom’s car but we suddenly didn’t care about how clean it would become. One man and all the kids were scrubbing our car while other people washed other cars. They were soaked and spraying each other. It looked so loving and fun. That man as it turns out was washing cars to save his daughter’s life. Read more »

Stay home if you are sick.
A few weeks ago, I was feeling down perhaps with a touch of what seemed like flu symptoms. It was sinusitis. I know this because I went to the doctor to make sure that my illness was not contagious. It is not. Finding out what was the cause of my illness is a priority so that I can protect my friends and others that I come in contact with.
I was finished with Christmas and couldn’t wait for New Year’s to be over. Looking forward to a regular schedule and a clean slate is what I have been looking towards.
This year my resolution is to stop pushing myself to oblivion. Seriously, I am slowing the heck down this year. No diets, no extreme fitness. In fact, I would like to add an hour of TV to my schedule. But that’s just me trying to find balance. My other resolution is to give back to my favorite city, Everett, WA with education and help. But first, I had to get healthy. Read on to learn how to fight the flu. Read more »
