World Cancer Day

Today is World Cancer day which UICC has declared to be the day that we work toward ending cancer related deaths! (or at least significantly decreasing them!)

I wish I could fight WITH my Mom instead of FOR my Mom, cancer took her from us at 53 years young. She celebrated her 52nd birthday with me, walking the track in Relay for Life, who would have known one year later, I'd be sitting at her bedside while she was in the end stages of her cancer, on hospice care.

Today, I'm the Co-Chair for Highline Relay for Life, trying to make a difference and never EVER giving up the fight for my Mom. Cancer took too much from my family, I don't want it to take anymore from anyone's Family! 

Please Support me in my fight against Cancer, every dollar counts to a world without Cancer. 

Our proceeds go to not only fund cancer research, but to fund programs to support Cancer survivors and their families while they are in the battle for their lives. 

We were blessed to have these programs with Mom, it helped her have a wig, find her beauty amidst the baldness, and gave us all the information, love, compassion and support. I want to give back, and make sure that no family gets left in the dark when it comes to fighting cancer!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
