I've been a volunteer on the Mercer Island Emergency Preparedness Team for two years now and I get asked a lot about how to be prepared in case of an emergency.  I would like to share with you how to be safe,  get supplies and have a plan.  I mean think about it for a second. Where do you spend most of your time? At home, at the office and in your…

If you ever want to be inspired, sit with a group people who want to make a difference in the lives of others.

Okay everyone,

The adult workout has started... Tuesdays at noon. Come join us we had a blast!

Today Amy and I worked on sparring techniques, Chong te and Nook te.... Getting ready for the next belt test in October... And what a great…

I'm really excited about about the NEW Mommy and Me classes starting this week.

A great opportunity to have fun with your young one.  

Come check it out.  

In life there are always things that will challenge you to reach your goals. They come in may ways. I will let you know a few of mine.

As a few of you know Eric (CKN Sams) and I started TKD with Master Wells 6 1/2 yrs ago. Our goal together was to achieve our black belts. Well, 3 yrs ago I hurt myself during a belt test. I was going for my Brown belt. I did pass my test…

It's been a long time coming. I am very excited about being able to test again after a long time off.

I have never forgotten what my goal has been in Martial Arts. Since the day I put it up there, my eye has never been off that Black Belt on the wall.

Setting goals is a very important part of getting anywhere in life. Some goals might be for later today, next week or even…

 Lately I've been doing a lot of extra reading on communication. What you feel and why or how you communicate  it to others. There is a ton written on best way to go about this.... Practice with me, if you will- motivation to be truthful, patient, understanding, respectful and kind........ the list goes on and on.   

I am learning to choose my words thoughtfully and carefully.... they are words that will last forever with another person.  

Smiling is free, and it makes you feel good when you do it.

I love to smile! I love to smile at other people because I think it makes them feel good too.

Smiling is contagious... give it a shot. It can make you, and someone else feel good.

 I want to get my black belt this year.  

I am working on it, giving 100 percent in each class, and moment.

I have to tell you, I am really enjoying my black belt journey!

It is my honor to talk about another living hero. She is part of the reason I am here today. My Godmother(Ninang), Friend and Auntie - Rosa Foster.

She was the first on my Filipino side of the family to come to America. A 21 day journey by boat. She dreamed that American dream and then made it happen.

She tells me stories of war time. How she was seperated from her mother, sister…

The Halloween Party was super fun.. Everyone had a great time. We collected tons of food for the Youth and Family Services.

Thank you to all the helpers that came to support us.

I am a volunteer for the Mercer Island Emergency Preparedness Dept. And yesterday September 22nd was the cities yearly test...in case of a real emergency. We simulated an earthquake with a total shutdown of both bridges, power outages, fires, and even deaths.

It was a real eye opener for me. If an emergency hits, I will be involved at the call center at City Hall. We take the calls, map out where everyone should go to help, open the emergency well, and shelter sites. We will…
