Please Welcome Alice Anne Millington and Ashley Besecker, Our Newest Bloggers

Do you have an opinion, experience, or expertise you'd like to share? We welcome you to blog on Patch, too!

During the last week, Edmonds Patch has welcomed two new bloggers.

The Alice Anne Millington and Ashley Besecker are now adding their voices to Patch.

Millington, a Board Certified Holistic Health Counselor with a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology, writes on thinking about food differently in her first blog post on Patch.

"Self-criticism seems to tiptoe into our minds when we are trying to lose weight," she wrote. "Yet how we feel affects our ability (or inability) to lose weight."

Millington offers hope by adding "change starts with becoming actively engaged with ourselves, our choice-making, and loving 'who we are' and 'where we are.'"

Besecker focused on St. Patty's day treats for her first post, a recipe for a homemade Shamrock Shake.

That is true about Citypark being in a lot of shade. Where's the skateboard park? Possibly a spotRead More at Edmonds Marina Beach??

Cassy said on Facebook (sorry to those having trouble logging in today!): Would love to have aRead More splash pad and yes please move it so it is in the full sun. If you are going to have a splash pad we need to take advantage of the sunshine.

A splash pad would be great, but that space is so shady - maybe next to the skateboard park instead.Read More

If you want to know what it's like to have your religion disrespected, try having school camps,Read More orchestra and band concerts and back-to-school nights on the holiest of your religious holidays (equivalent to Christmas and Easter). Everyone knows that an egg hunt is an Easter event whether it's called that or not. Everyone know that a holiday tree is really a Christmas tree. Trust me, the atheists and/or non-Christians are not trying to destroy Christianity. First, it would be impossible. Second, it would be too dangerous to us personally. Last, I personally respect other's traditions, but I'm not sure the same can always be said in reverse.

Don't we have more important things to worry about? Easter Egg, Egg Hunt, who cares? It's a funRead More community event. And thank you to the sponsers that make this happen.

First of all, the government is not supposed to promote any religion. Secondly, the Easter bunnyRead More and egg hunt has no historical religious significance that I can think of, even though this is part of an American tradition. I am good with deleting the word Easter, and would like to see a departure from any emphasis on candy, which only compounds the diabetic epidemic in this country. Sometimes it is good to rethink the wisdom of something simply because it is a "tradition".
