Great answers to your questions here.

What a terrifying night!

As our community moves through the aftermath of this incredible fire event, my heart goes out to every family anxiously waiting for news or coping with the impacts. While the immediate threat to the City of Tonasket proper has passed for the moment, active fires continue to burn both north and south of our city limits. We are thinking of all our neighbors and stand ready to support you however we can.

The efforts of our firefighters, ground crews, and local citizens saved lives and protected structures under brutal conditions. We are witnessing the full strength of our community. In times like this, we band together and support each other the best way we know how. In love and in service.

We do not yet know the full extent of the damage. Official assessment teams are currently analyzing the burned areas, and we will share confirmed information as soon as we have it.

We have heard concerns from the community regarding the lack of air support. Air support has been requested daily by our local teams. However, air assets are allocated at the state level, and with extreme fire demand across Washington, those resources have been stretched thin. Also, on the Sinlahiken Fire, air quality and wind speed have made air attacks extremely dangerous. Please know this service is being assessed frequently.

For real-time operational updates, please follow the Central Washington Fire Information page. They will be posting daily updates.

Please also continue to monitor local emergency alert channels and law enforcement pages for any shifts in evacuation zones.

Hey Guys! I'm in search of a car. I highly prefer manual transmission in a Toyota, Scion, Honda or other well-maintained, reliable options and my budget is $5-7k.

If you are near-ish to me and know of anything or see something that seems to fit this general set of parameters, please let me know!

When I was a kid, my mom and I baked croissants… one time. It’s a little involved, but so artful.

It occurred to me recently, why not sourdough croissants? So I tried it.

Oh. My. Gosh! They are amazing, especially paired with homemade wild huckleberry jam from last year’s bumper crop!

Which senses are awakened by this image for you? Wish you were here! 🥰

I wish you could taste this! Homemade flaky sourdough croissant with homemade wild huckleberry jam. You deserve to have this in your life!

I invite you to like my coaching page! Check out my latest post here, click on my profile and like it to keep up with all I have going on in my coaching world!

I’m SO thrilled and pleased to have just completed certification as a Face Yoga Method Instructor!

Adding this certification to my skill set empowers me to help you empower yourself!

What is Face Yoga? On the surface it encompasses non-invasive methods for putting your best face forward- AT ANY AGE, by toning those facial muscles you never even thought about before.

Like me, you may first come into the space of learning Face Yoga because you know you are getting older and want a non-invasive method to age gracefully by reducing lines and sagging skin.

But I promise you- you will come away with that and SO. MUCH. MORE!

You will carry yourself in a whole new way, with confidence, poise and the certainty that your important personal contribution to the world is brimming and ready to be expressed.

With your heart wide open you will be able and eager to make that impact and expand your legacy!

Let’s go do this together!
