A friend of mine has an office available for rent where the new Limber Yoga and Wellness is moving into (was The Center for Movement & Healing) above Swedish Automotive. This space is a hidden gem! Aubrey the new owner is fantastic and the environment is a combination of lively yet calm. She has an office available and I wanted to spread the word. Here’s the craiglist ad:
https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/off/d/west-seattle-office-space/6415165318.htmlYeah, you read that right. As I was walking my daughter to the bus this morning, on the parking strip there lay an unopened large bag of baking mix and several small, cute cacti. Looks like someone stole something and then dumped them on the side of the road. Let me know if they’re yours.

Topic: 2002 Toyota Camry LE
I got a new car! So I am offering my 2002 Toyota Camry LE for $3,500 OBO. (Serious inquiries only, please!)
~ It PASSED its recent emissions (2017).
~ It has NEW TIRES as of Feb 2016.
~ It has a NEW BATTERY as of Nov 2017.
~ It has NEW FRONT BRAKES as of Jan 2016.
~ I own it out right and have a CLEAN TITLE.
~ It is SMOKE FREE (owned by a non-smoker).
~ I purchased this car 2014 and have the CAR FACTS from then- This car has always been ACCIDENT FREE!As seen in the pictures, there are some COSMETIC issues. The cosmetic flaws did not bother me enough to get them fixed. Would be a great starter car for your teenager who might add additional bumps and bruises parking around Seattle.
My Toyota has always been dependable and still has plenty of miles and life left in it. (It has 102,000 miles on it.)In the images or the interior, you can see the mileage is just above 102k, the interior is cloth and freshly cleaned, the driver’s side mirror is cracked but functional, and the driver’s side door handle piece has broken off but is rigged with a pull-string and fully functional as well.

Hi West Seattle neighbors.
I’m Desiree. I’ve lived in West Seattle three and a half years now and love it.
Unfortunately, I’ve met some difficult life challenges lately. These challenges have created a passion in me to speak up for people who may be experiencing the same thing.
Please know my story deals with mental health. I don’t feel mental health is an open or accepted subject in our society. I hope to change that. But if it’s something that makes you uncomfortable, or that you don’t feel ready to support, I would ask you to think before considering reading.
If you’re ready to support the need for education around this subject in our society, this story may resonate with you in a huge way.
While I have created a GoFundMe for my current situation, what’s more important to me than finances is being heard so that others can be heard as well.
I’m reaching out and being brave, even though I am unaware of any negative repracussions I may be subjecting myself to. But I’m ready. More people need to speak up and ask for help. I hope to be a leader in that fight.
Thanks for reading.
Desiree 💛
