DON’T BLINK We blinked our eyes and now summer is almost half over. Next month the kids will be back in school, and we’ll be getting out those sweaters for those chilly evenings. The message here … don’t let this month pass you by! There is still much fun and adventure to be had here in the 253 before the carefree days of summer have come to an end.

There are plenty of Tacoma Rainiers games to take advantage of.

What better way to enjoy an August afternoon or evening than watching a good ol’ game of baseball? And it’s always a good time when attending a Seattle Sounders FC soccer match. In this issue, we were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to interview Aaron Artman, president of We R Tacoma. You can check out the full interview in this month’s Q&A. A trip to LeMay - America’s Car Museum offers excitement for car enthusiasts of all ages.

Creating Multi-Functional Spaces in Your Home LET THE CREATIVITY FLOW

BY NIKKI LUTTMANN, INTERIOR DESIGNER

F

or many of us, certain rooms in our home need to serve dual purposes. Whether that’s an office that doubles as a guest room or a dining room that is also a library, it can sometimes be challenging to make these spaces look cohesive and feel just right for both purposes.

The key is to look at the room as a whole and design for the room itself, rather than the individual components. For example, in a guest room/office space, look for a desk that matches the bedroom furniture in that room; the space will look much less thrown together. It also helps to keep the space neat and orderly. At the very least, tidy up the desk before your guests arrive—it will help them feel much more at home.

For multi-purpose spaces that are used together daily, such as the dining room/library mentioned above, it helps to define each space within the room. Successful options include built-in cabinetry around the perimeter of the room, with the dining table taking center stage. Another option is to use half of the room for dining and one half for books.

For those with hobbies, it can often feel like you don’t have enough space. And for this I say get creative! Personally, I like to read, paint, sew, knit—you name it! Since we have very little excess space in our home, I have gotten creative as to where I work on crafts. I have an easel set up on my covered back porch. I’ve found that in winter, I tend to focus on knitting projects anyway. I love to sew, but we don’t have a dedicated sewing room. No problem! We use the dining room table for projects but keep the sewing machine in a cupboard near the dining room.

253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE 13

Open floor plans are very convenient—but it does make multitasking more of a necessity rather than an option. Oftentimes, an entryway is actually part of the living room, leaving guests to walk right into the heart of your home. I like to create a dedicated space within a space by adding an entry table or console, mirror, and basket for keys or other necessities near the front door.

Furniture can also serve double duty. If your home is short on bedrooms but long on guests, think of adding a sleepersofa in your living room or office. Murphy beds are becoming popular again as well.

For any combination spaces, good storage is key. Finding a convenient place to store linens in your guest room/office for when you do have overnight guests or, like us, sewing storage in your dining room, can make all the difference in how convenient it is to switch back and forth between uses. Again, the concept with multi-use spaces is creativity. Your home should be a place where you can do all the things you love to do. Don’t let your floorplan dictate how you use your rooms.

Get creative with your ideas, your furniture and your storage!

our friends invite you to a girls’ night out. You think it sounds great until you find out it’s a craft night! If you are like me, the natural instinct is to find an excuse and graciously back out. After all, who wants to be humiliated in front of all your friends? The truth is, one does not have to be “crafty” to create beautiful things. And who wants to miss out on the laughter and fun that goes along with it, not to mention the wine that often accompanies these events.

Alison Henslee founded The Creative Soul Collective, a place to foster creativity in a safe, intimate group setting. With classes in her home and other community venues, people come together to create with friends—and often leave with new friends as well.

Alison guides participants with detailed instructions and inspiration. And most importantly, she encourages each and every person along the way, leaving little or no room for self-doubt.

“I believe we all have some level of creativity in us; we just express it in various forms and to different degrees. When I’m teaching a painting class, I assure them from the very beginning that there’s no skill needed as I lead them through the project every step of the way ... and more importantly, there is no ‘right or wrong’ way of doing my paintings,” said Alison of her paint and sip classes. “My favorite thing is when a client adds their own touches along the way

The biggest thing I promote is putting aside inhibitions or preconceived notions, relaxing and just simply having fun!”

The friendships that are formed are as beautiful as the art that is created at these intimate workshops. ***** Want to couple creativity with practicality? Now is the time of year I always am envious of all those people who are buying an abundance of produce at the local farmers markets to not only consume now but to can for use in the winter months.

I have found that, although it may seem intimidating at first, preserving and canning food can actually be quite simple if you follow a few important steps.

First, start with fresh, local and organic produce. The quality of the ingredients will make a huge difference when canning.

Whether you grow it in your own backyard or purchase it at the local farmers market, do your best to get the freshest ingredients available.

The second step in the process is to prepare the food. Wash, chop, cook and jar as soon as possible after picking so that the food is just as tasty on those cold winter days as when it was fresh picked. However, if you have crops from late fall

or early winter, the cooler temperatures will allow the food to keep awhile longer—especially when placed in the cellar.

And then when you are ready, start to can. Experts state that you don’t need a great deal of gadgets to can; the simpler the better.

Before you begin, check out the many online references that will provide you with everything you need to know step by step. ***** What about those home-improvement projects you would love to hire out, but it’s just not in your budget? And if you think about doing them yourself, you would not even know where to begin. Fortunately, there are so many tutorials online you don’t have to look far!

Do you find you are lacking when it comes to space for a home office? Are there papers piling up on the kitchen counter or table without anywhere to store them? Try converting a closet into a home office. Simply unhinge the door, remove the hanging rods and install shelves (preferably a deep one that will serve as the desktop and two shallow ones to accommodate storage above).

The only cost will be shelving and the hardware to install them.

We all may not be crafty, and it may be intimidating at times to try something ourselves.

They also offer classes for kids!

Generosity and Gratitude THE JOURNEY TO HEALING CAN BEGIN BEFORE YOUR DIVORCE IS FINALIZED

G

By Felicia A. Soleil, JD

enerosity and gratitude. Not words you often think of when hearing about someone’s divorce. Yet, in my divorce mediation practice, these two values show up more frequently than you’d think.

about what it is like to be a mediator, I often explain that I am always heartened to see two people from an intimate partnership able to express gratitude to the other at the end of settlement negotiations for generosity that has been extended by the other.

When couples present for mediation, as opposed to individual legal representation, they have made a decision to navigate the journey of disentangling their marital life together. I describe this as becoming “unmarried.” Many times they need to maintain a parenting partnership and want that to go well. However, couples who only need to separate their financial lives often assert they want to end the relationship respectfully and figure out the challenges of separating together. Sometimes they even hope to maintain an enduring friendship and family ties.

Of course, there are times in mediation when one party wants the divorce and the other party has agreed to attend mediation in the hopes of reducing not only the financial cost but the emotional cost as well. Their brain may be screaming “fight,” but their heart knows otherwise.

Of course, not all couples are in this place, and they come to mediation for various other reasons, number one being cost avoidance. They still show up, do the hard work and are seeking a quick resolution so they can get on with their lives without each other. Sometimes the best I can do with these folks is to encourage them to not let bitterness and resentment rule the day as we sort through creating their financial settlements and parenting plans.

It is this head versus heart conundrum that most often drives the divorce mediation process. As humans, we are taught to look out for ourselves while also looking out for others. During the breakup of a marriage, your natural tendency may be to barricade yourself in your corner and come out fighting. This usually comes from a place of fear (although your ego has a role in this as well!). The result may not be what you wanted, but, by gosh, the fight sure felt good.

People who can engage in self-regulation and selfreflection recognize that the breakup of their marriage is stressful enough without adding attorneys and courts and more angry feelings to the mix. When I am asked

22 253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE

However, more often than not, divorcing parties want to look out for themselves and find a way to make sure that it is not done at the expense of the other party. As we ease through the mediation process, I often see one party slowly consider giving something back they thought they were otherwise entitled to; something they recognize would have been at the expense of the other party. In truly transformational cases, a party may voluntarily offer up even more than would otherwise be expected.

Either way, generosity makes a lasting impression, and recognizing that generosity with gratitude, even a simple “Thank you. I know you didn’t have to do that,” can go a long way toward healing.

Felicia Soleil helps her clients in achieving resolutions that foster both a compassionate ending to their union and a healthy new beginning for them and their families so they can focus on moving on, rather than simply moving out.

Tacoma A CRUISE DOWN

MEMORY LANE STEEL AND RUBBER INSPIRE EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS TO OUR RECENT PAST AT LEMAY - AMERICA’S CAR MUSEUM

By Dan Aznoff Photos Courtesy of America’s Automotive Trust

I

f just the sight or sound of a ’57 Chevy rumbling at an intersection on a sunny afternoon generates visions of days when muscle cars ruled the road and classic town cars were the standard for achievement, then an afternoon at LeMay America’s Car Museum in Tacoma is the gateway to a traffic jam filled with dreams.

The iconic building off I-5 shelters five floors of some of the most unforgettable icons of recent history that represent significant mile posts from the timeline of the last century.

The collection consists of automotive artifacts and 250 automobiles that span 100 years of automotive history that share floorspace with more than 100 classic vehicles on loan from some of the most expansive collections in the world.

Visitors to the museum this summer will have the opportunity to share America’s love affair with the automobile and celebrate the achievements in technology that are integrated into each vehicle.

The fast-track celebration began in July with a drive-in movie showing of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” The August calendar gets off to a fast start on Friday, August 2, with a sizzling evening of open-air food and spirits in an event that pays homage to the fast cars, cigars and cocktails that dominated the nightlife in Miami Beach during the days of shoulder pads and three-quarter length sleeves.

The drive-in theme will continue on Saturday, August 10, with the screening of “How to Train Your Dragon 3” on the Haub Family Field under the twilight sky from 4:30 until 9pm.

A special event on Tuesday, August 13, will pay tribute to the auto advertising industry during the If Cars Could Talk exhibit that will recollect ads from the “Think Small” campaign for the VW Beetle from the ‘50s to the “See the USA in your Chevrolet.”

Another exhibit this month will pay tribute to one of the truly American classics, the Cadillac. The exposition portrays the standard of excellence associated with the luxury nameplate as well as the ongoing dedication by General Motors to use the brand name to establish quality standards among auto manufacturers and the American public.

Other displays during August include the white Challenger that was driven

by Steve McQueen in the film “Bullet” and cars from the British invasion of the ‘60s.

The third Saturday of the month, on August 17, will be the regular STEAM Day where future and soon-to-be drivers can participate in a basic education Auto Shop 101 course to gain a hands-on understanding of the care of an automobile. The session will cover topics ranging from dashboard warning lights to roadside emergencies.

The Take-A-Spin event (rescheduled from May because of wet roads) has been slated for Thursday, August 22. The outdoor event will provide museum visitors with a chance to experience history in motion with rides in collector vehicles that span the decades from antiques and pre-war autos to fire trucks and some definitive autos from the ‘50s.

The ACM curator of exhibitry, Scott Keller, is expected to share behindthe-scenes stories that day of some of the most memorable ad slogans ever created.

The busy month of activities will wrap up on Thursday, August 22, with a Cruise-In and another Drive-In Movie Night on Saturday, August 24. The Cruise-In will offer special recognition to retired and current military personnel with discounts on admission and food throughout the facility.

One of the most popular exhibits is a permanent display that showcases Route 66 that stretched from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean. The museum describes the highway as the “road to riches” that was traversed by millions of families: “The road as quintessentially American.”

Experience history in motion with rides in collector vehicles that span the decades from antiques and prewar autos to fire trucks and some definitive autos from the ‘50s.

LeMay - America’s Car Museum is located adjacent to the Tacoma Dome. The facility opened on June 2, 2012, with many of the cars on display donated by the family of Harold LeMay through the LeMay Family Collection Foundation.

LeMay was the owner of Harold LeMay Enterprises, a refuse company in the Tacoma metro area. He was the owner of one of the largest private automobile collections in the world at the time of his death in 2000.

The philanthropist first introduced the idea of establishing a museum with his family in 1996 as a way to keep the collection together so it could be shared with the public. A year later the LeMay collection was listed in the “Guinness Book of World Records” as the largest privately owned car collection in the world.

Each summer until his death, Harold LeMay, his wife Nancy and their family opened their estate for the annual LeMay Car Show.

His generosity to share his passion does not go unnoticed by visitors to the galleries of vehicles and auto paraphernalia.

One visitor from Tacoma wrote, “I honestly can’t even count how many times I’ve been here. Whether solo or with friends/family/kids. It’s always a fun experience. I am a car enthusiast. But even for the non-enthusiast it is still a fun time.”

253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE 27

A person visiting the Northwest from New Mexico in June wrote to thank the museum with his first-person review: “Tons of cars on four floors! Experience the history of cars in a great setting. Simply beautiful museum with lots of helpful employees throughout.

Cars from all generations back to 1899. Must visit!”

A vacationer from Missouri described the museum as spectacular: “The museum itself is a work of art with its soaring wood ceilings. There are generally about 300 vehicles in the museum at any given time, curated out of a huge collection and arranged in changing themes.”

Another local had some recommendations for those who would venture to the South Sound to visit the LeMay collection. “This place is an ever-changing experience as this place doesn’t hold half of LeMay’s collection and even more cars that are just on loan. To start, the building is just as impressive as the cars, and you get a taste of it just looking at it from the freeway.”

He continued with advice to take the time to truly appreciate the size and quality of the items on display. “What you don’t see is this is a four-story parking garage that goes in underground spiraling.

Aaron Artman, president of We R Tacoma, became a part of the South Sound community in 2007 with a goal of using his 10 years of professional sports experience to turn around the Tacoma Rainiers. In 2018 soccer became a part of the Cheney Stadium lineup. In addition to his professional life, Artman gives back to the community with his roles serving on the Museum of Glass Board, Mayor’s Business Advisory Council, Greater Seattle Partnership Executive Council and recently spearheaded, with his fellow investors, the endowment of a sports management program with the University of Washington Tacoma. He lives in the Stadium District with his wife Leslie and their six children.

“OUR TEAMS ARE DEPENDENT ON THE COMMUNITY TRUSTING US. WHEN WE GET TO DO SOMETHING COOL, LIKE RAISE MONEY FOR THE COMMUNITY BASED OFF OF SOD, IT FEELS PRETTY GOOD.”

Q. What prompted the decision to bring soccer to Cheney Stadium?

A. It started out as a longer term approach. We’ve always had a good relationship with Sounders FC. Originally their ownership and I discussed the potential to build a new soccer-specific stadium in Tacoma and bring their USL franchise to Tacoma when it was finished. When U.S. Soccer determined that S2 needed to play in a compliant stadium, they asked if we’d consider playing at Cheney until we get the new stadium. We decided to start the partnership early, and it has worked well, and even evolved into an additional partnership with Reign FC. Q. Creatively reusing waste materials is a trend now. Can you tell us about We R Tacoma’s “Sod for a Cause” program, in which the pallets of sod left over from converting the playing service from soccer to baseball, are sold by donation and benefit a local nonprofit?

A. Most of the cool stuff we do comes from a random problem, which hopefully leads to a less random solution. Our point person on the Defiance (Nick Cherniske), our VP of marketing (Megan Mead) and our head groundskeeper (Michael Huie) came up with the idea, and we love it, and hope the community loves it.

Our teams are dependent on the community

trusting us. We literally make our living off hundreds of thousands of people supporting our venue. When we get to do something cool, like raise money for the community based off of sod, it feels pretty good.

Q. Can you tell our readers more about your partnership with the City of Tacoma and Metro Parks for a new soccer-specific stadium and the effort to transform Central Tacoma?

A. We partnered with both municipalities to engage in a feasibility study that would look at a soccer-specific stadium, a mixed-use development (with Cheney and the soccer stadium as the anchor for the development) and badly needed eight to 10 field youth soccer complex.

The goal, with our business partners—Sounders FC and Reign FC—as well as the city and Metro Parks, is to be ground zero for the way we operate soccer franchises in the U.S. and create a platform that uses the stadium as a catalyst to re-invigorate Central Tacoma, create equity for our most underserved areas and have a professional sports stadium that provides more public benefit than any venue in the country.

Q. With six children, what role do sports have in your family life? What is life like juggling the schedules of everybody for games, practices, etc.?

A. Funny thing happens when your kids grow up at a stadium. They tend to see the sport at that stadium as ‘work.’ Even when they come to games, especially the older kids, who have spent between nine and 13 years here, they realize they have to go around with Dad and visit sponsors, investors, season ticket holders and staff. They all have firm handshakes and will look you in the eye, but they didn’t have much interest in baseball. My 4-yearold, Brooks, loves baseball though, so he may be my baseball player.

The kids play basketball, volleyball and lacrosse, but they also love music and sing and play various instruments. I have a great wife, Leslie, who helps keep us sane, as practices, games, concerts and tournaments can create chaos.

I think we juggle about as well as most families, and I have a keen appreciation for summer, as all the sports, school and music activities wind down a little bit, even if summer is when I’m at the stadium the most.

It’s lofty, but it’s real, and we think it’s the right thing to do. We hope to have something more concrete to communicate this fall.

Health EXFOLIANTS W H AT, W H E N A N D W H Y Y O U S H O U L D U S E T H E M

BY KRISTIN CARLSON, MEDICAL ESTHETICIAN

W

e all have our own idea of what it means to exfoliate. What does it mean to you? Is exfoliating a homemade sugar scrub you use on your body during a long bath? Is it cleansing your face with a Clarisonic Cleansing Brush? Or is it getting a chemical peel with your skin-care provider? All of these are examples of exfoliants. In fact, there are many types. Let’s talk about what they are, when to use them and why they are beneficial.

What is an exfoliant?

Exfoliating is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. There are two main types of exfoliants: physical and chemical. Physical exfoliants require manual “scrubbing” or manipulation. Physical exfoliants include product with granules in them (like a body scrub), and devices such as a loofa, body brush, a sonic cleansing brush and even dermaplaning. Chemical exfoliants are enzymes, hydroxy acids and retinoids, which go on smooth and create a chemical reaction on the skin. Typical treatments falling in this category would be a chemical peel, an enzyme facial or an at-home skin-care regimen including a retinol product. Chemical exfoliants are most commonly used on the face and décolleté, whereas physical exfoliants can be used on all areas of the body (be careful on the sensitive neck and under-eye area).

lack of cleansing, the dead skin cells can get trapped on the surface of the skin, causing clogged pores and dull, flakey-looking skin.

Depending on your skin type, exfoliants should be used anywhere from daily to weekly. If you have oily skin, daily exfoliation is great.

Exfoliating before bed creates a clean slate for sleep and allows products to penetrate deeper into the skin. If you have more sensitive or mature skin, exfoliate two to three times per week. Sensitive skin needs more time to rest and heal in between exfoliants, while more mature skin has a slower cell turnover rate, meaning there is less need to exfoliate daily. If you wake up with your skin looking a bit dull, a light exfoliation in the morning can really brighten up the skin and create a smooth canvas for your moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup.

Why? Incorporating an exfoliant into your skin-care routine has many benefits. In addition to unclogging the pores, deeper product penetration and a brighter complexion, long-term exfoliation can increase skin elasticity and promote the production of collagen— minimizing fine lines. If you are not sure where to start or what type is right for you, schedule a consultation with your skin-care provider. For brighter, tighter, healthier looking skin, add this easy step in to your routine.

When to use an exfoliant?

Our skin is in a constant state of regeneration; creating new skin cells and shedding the old ones. Due to oil, sweat, makeup and

Health HAND JIVE THE POWERFUL HAND AND THE BENEFITS OF REFLEXOLOGY PART I OF II

BY DARCIE MILLER, LIGHT IN BALANCE

O

ur hands are amazing. Have you ever thought about all of the things your hands do? How powerful they are?

We use our hands to help someone walk, cross a street, prepare meals, administer medications, change diapers, write a letter or note, bathe, garden and plant seeds, hold someone in a hug, caress a cheek, soothe and brush away tears, and in healing. How about play a musical instrument, repair a car, and build roadways and buildings. Your hand is a machine with endless possibilities.

Some use their hands to speak and communicate. We are able to communicate through touch whether it is using your hands to type a letter or email, text or dial a phone. The power of the touch of someone’s hand on your hand, arm or shoulder, can speak volumes.

Your hand is made up of the wrist and palm and fingers.

Each hand has 27 bones, 27 joints, 34 muscles, over 100 ligaments and tendons, and many blood vessels and nerves. There are more than 30 individual muscles in your hand and forearm that work together to help with the movements necessary to complete just about everything you do on a daily basis; it is an intricate structure whose muscles have evolved to meet the ever-changing movements needed for different tasks.

Think about all of the different types of gloves available, which provide protection for our hands. We wear gloves to keep them warm, protect them from sun exposure and to keep them clean. There are gloves

36 253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE

for use with cleaning chemicals and protection from heat. There are gloves to protect your hands from sharp objects such as glass or thorns. You can find gloves for driving, golfing and quilting.

There are countless lotions, salves, balms and ointments available to help protect and heal the skin on your hands.

Just like your feet, your hands contain reflex points, which correspond to all your body’s systems and organs. Using a gentle thumb walking, the reflexologist is able to work all of your body’s systems through specific reflex points in your hands. Not only does it feel wonderful to have your hands held, a properly trained and certified reflexologist can help bring your body into a state of deep relaxation—which in turn can help your body begin to heal itself.

There are times when foot reflexology is not possible, either because a client has an injury, severe foot pain or infection, or they may not have feet. Reflexology can still be performed on their hands with the same results as foot reflexology.

Take a look at your hands and the hands of your family members, and look for the tasks they have performed over the years—I think you’ll find fascinating stories in them. They may have even told you a story or two.

Stay tuned for more information on hands and some of the many benefits hand reflexology can have.

Living Your Passion

REALIZING THE POWER OF YOUR PERSONAL BRAND

BY GENNY HEIKKA

38 253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE

Feature

253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE 39

I

had a conversation with a young woman a while ago who’d recently gotten married. She and I we were talking about the new phase of life she was in, and I asked her what her biggest challenge was.

She answered, “I guess I would have to say my own individualism, since I’m in a different phase of life and I’m newly married now. Sometimes I think about who I am and what I’m supposed to be doing ... I want to live passionately now, not just in the future.”

We all have that longing to matter—to do something significant that we are passionate about. But how do you know what that “something” is? How do you find your purpose and live it out with passion? Some of you reading this might be in a place where you’re doing exactly what you know you’re supposed to be doing in this season of your life—and you’re excited about it. And some of you might feel so far from that, you don’t even know where to start. (If that’s you, it’s OK! You’re not alone.) And even if you are operating in your sweet spot, things change as life changes: relationships, jobs, health, finances. All these things can change over time. And especially during those times of change, questions like “What’s my purpose?” and “What am I passionate about?” seem to stare us in the face.

The good news is, the answer to those questions doesn’t lie in having it all figured out, “finally arriving” or finding that one thing to do for the rest of your life. (After all, you can live out your purpose in different ways in different seasons of your life.) It actually has more to do with truly understanding who you are and then identifying ways to authentically live that out, right where you’re at. So how do you do that?

The power is in your personal brand: the unique combination of all the things that make you you and the distinct value you bring to your job, the marketplace, your relationships and the world. We all know that companies have brands, and we know those brands are much more than just a logo or a tagline. A company’s brand is really about what that company is known for and the value or benefit they add in people’s lives through their products or services. It’s about how people see and experience that company. (For example, when I think of Amazon, I don’t think of their logo or tagline; I think about convenience and the way ordering online and getting products quickly makes my life so much easier.) The same is true for your personal brand: What are you known for? What is the unique value you bring to the table that can impact and add value in the lives of others? How do others see and experience you?

Considering these questions can be daunting, I know.

(Often, when we think of branding and marketing, we

What are you known for? What is the unique value you bring to the table that can impact and add value in the lives of others? How do others see and experience you? think of self-promotion or spending money.) But the great news is, you don’t have to start from scratch or hire an expert to create your personal brand—because whether you realize it or not, you already have one. Right now, today, you are already seen and experienced by people in a certain way. You are already known for something. The question is, is your personal brand what you want it to be or are there ways you can strengthen it to have greater impact and find more clarity on your own purpose and direction in life?

When you think about managing and maximizing your personal brand from this point forward, ask yourself what differentiates you. Are you known for what you want to be known for? Are you seen how you want to be seen? Think about who you uniquely are as a person, what makes you different from others and the impact you want to have. And give yourself permission to dream a little! Take time to explore more about what makes you you—things like your individual strengths, your core values, your personal and professional passions, and the experiences you’ve gone through that have equipped you and shaped you. To strengthen your personal brand and have the greatest positive impact, a process of self-discovery is really the starting point.

Sometimes I’ll get clients who come to me for coaching and want help figuring out their next move or their career direction. But before we ever start talking about vision, goals and actions, we start by walking through a phase of self-discovery. Because the things that are unique to you—and make you who you are—make up the foundation for your personal brand and inform not only your direction but how you can stand out in the noise of today’s world. When you truly know yourself, it clarifies your vision and how you show up and communicate in your life, every day. And even though there’s much more to the personal branding process than can be captured here in this article, here are a few key things you can do, starting now, to help you discover more about who you are and strengthen your own brand: Know your strengths. Know what you are naturally good at. Don’t guess; actually take the time to discover the things that come easy to you and that you excel at. There are plenty of assessments and resources that can help—some online and several books. And if you want to keep it really simple, just think about what you were good at as a child. What did you gravitate toward doing when you were little and what came easily to you?

Often, those are the things that point you to your natural strengths. When I was a little girl, I loved getting up in front of my class and speaking. I was in every talent show I could be as a dancer, and I loved to entertain and encourage audiences. And when I look at what I find such a sense of purpose and passion in doing today—speaking and encouraging audiences at conferences and events—I see the connection to when I was little. Often, as we grow up and life happens, we forget the things that we are naturally gifted at. Knowing your strengths can give you clarity on your direction and point you toward what you’d likely find the greatest purpose in doing today.

Know your passions. What fires you up and fuels you? Is it hiking or business, cooking or traveling?

Or maybe it’s fighting for a cause. Identifying your passions is easy for some, but for others it can be hard. And that’s OK. Start by giving yourself permission to try new things and don’t think you 42 253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE

have to be passionate about what others are passionate about—really explore what sets your own heart on fire.

(When I became a mom, I thought I should be passionate about crafts so I volunteered to help with crafts in my kids’ classrooms all the time. It took me a few years to figure out that leading craft projects just wasn’t me. It was liberating to realize I didn’t have to volunteer to do that anymore, and there were other moms who not only loved crafts but were way better at it than I was! Doing the things that excite and interest you will cause you to feel energized, not drained. You’ll also likely make the greatest contribution and impact, because you’ll be doing something that you love and care about.

Examine your experiences. You might’ve gone through the same thing as someone else, but you didn’t experience it the same way because you are you. Think about the experiences in your life—the challenges you’ve faced, the successes you’ve had, the things that have helped to shape you. Your experiences—positive and negative—are a valuable part of your story, and they often uniquely equip you to make a significant difference in the lives of others.

All of these things: your strengths, passions, experiences 44 253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE

and more combine to make up your personal brand— who you are and the unique value you bring. And when you spend time discovering more about yourself and strengthening your brand, your purpose and passions become much clearer.

But there’s one more important step to living your purpose with passion, and that’s doing it with others by your side. If you do all this work to dig into who you are and figure out your strengths and direction but live that out in isolation, you’ll still miss out on being able to make the maximum impact. Look for opportunities to make a difference in the unique way only you can, and do it in community. Years ago, when I first started pursuing my dream of writing books, I was a closet writer. I felt like I needed to be published or have my writing perfected before I told anyone what I was doing. But then someone wiser than me said: “If you are writing, you are a writer.

You don’t have to be published to call yourself one.” And that gave me courage to share what I was doing. I realized you don’t have to have it all figured out before you step out and pursue your dreams. And when I started calling myself a writer and doing that journey with others by my side, that’s when doors opened.

“EXAMINE YOUR

EXPERIENCES

Not only did doors open, I had a community around me when doors closed. And that was important. I got hundreds of rejection letters before I got my first book contract. But having other writers in my circle who were going through the same thing made all the difference. I didn’t lose my passion when I hit the roadblocks. And that’s the power of community.

Putting yourself out there in a new way makes you feel vulnerable (believe me, I know!), but it creates opportunities you would never see otherwise. I saw that in my journey as a writer. And I saw that when I started my coaching and consulting practice Her Team Success. One of the first things I did when I started my practice was share what I was doing for others, and that fueled my courage—and my business. So if there is something you’re longing to do or unknown territory you’ve been wanting to step into, do it. First take the time to understand more about who you are, then put one foot in front of the other and don’t worry so much about the outcome or if you are “ready.” Instead, recognize the unique value you bring to the table and the unique contribution you can make. And be sure to share what you are doing with others and surround yourself with community, because living out your purpose with passion is better (and way less terrifying) with friends by your side.

Late Summer, Early Fall ART IN THE PNW

ART BY LELA LINNENKOH

ven though summer started late this year in the Pacific Northwest, a host of museum exhibitions and the upcoming Seattle Art Fair will redress nature’s wrongs! Come see Gage, Academy of Art at their booth at the Seattle Art Fair, presented by AIG. This amazing art event will be held Thursday, August 1 through Sunday, August 4, and Gage would like to offer this amazing art community a discounted ticket link: SeattleArtFair.com/tickets/gage.

If you want to get away but still stay in the Pacific Northwest, we recommend traveling to Portland, Oregon, to see French Baroque painter Georges de La Tour’s “The Magdalene with the Smoking Flame,” ca. 1635-37, at the Portland Art Museum, on loan from Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) until October 13. La Tour is best known for the naturalism of

50 253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE

his work, the nocturnal light effects, and the dramatic use of chiaroscuro inspired by the work of Caravaggio and his Dutch followers. His work has unique qualities of silence, tranquility and clarity. Not surprisingly, two versions of this painting exist—the other, completed a few years later in 1640, is in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

In the LACMA painting, she is a beautiful young woman who appears entranced and absorbed by her thoughts as her gaze seems to rest on the flame—La Tour gives us a virtuoso rendering of the candle’s smoke. But whether these are thoughts about mortality, as the skull seems to imply, or of remorse for her past sins, as the rope lash resting on a wooden crucifix seems to suggest, is she about to mortify her flesh? Is this the reason why her shoulders and back are exposed? In this ambiguity and tension, we find this work to be a masterpiece of narrative.

With the solidity of the forms, La Tour’s work also offers a clear understanding of how drawing was critical to his painting. This is an unconditional truth about the education that Gage, Academy of Art offers. Drawing, whether from life or from cast or from photograph, is at the foundation of Gage’s commitment to building up critical skills.

Any aspiring artist or student who wants to seriously pursue painting must start with taking drawing to build confidence and understanding of form and composition before delving into the world of wet media and most of all color.

Fall classes are right around the corner at Gage! So if you are still despairing about summer coming late, fall in the PNW is beautiful at Gage offering classes in drawing, painting and sculpting.

Hells Canyon and the Wild and Scenic Snake River HISTORY AND NATURAL BEAUTY ABOUND IN THE LEWIS CLARK VALLEY STORY & PHOTOS BY MARGUERITE CLEVELAND

“O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain” can’t help but ring in your head as you traverse miles of the grain-rich farmland across country roads and state highways and over the rolling hills of the Palouse to reach the Lewis Clark Valley and the towns of Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington. At some points, depending on the time of year, all you can see in any direction are “amber waves of grain.” No matter which direction you travel from, there are no interstate highways that lead to your destination, which makes for a lovely scenic drive and a sense of discovery when you finally arrive.

Both towns are nestled on the banks of the Snake River and serve as the gateway to Hells Canyon.

Where to Stay The Quality Inn and Suites Conference Center overlooking the Snake River in Clarkston is the perfect base for your trip to the area. It is located within walking distance of the Lewis Clark Valley Visitor’s Center, a winery, a brewery, shops and restaurants. This recently remodeled hotel is pretty upscale for the price point and has one of the top restaurants in the town. Your stay comes with breakfast vouchers for the Quay restaurant and is a full, hot cooked-to-order meal with a variety of choices. It is a perfect start 60 253 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE

The sheep are plentiful, so it is highly likely you will see some on your trip. Other sightings include bear, river otters, bobcats and the occasional cougar or wolves.

for a day on the river. The hotel also has a charming garden, patio and outdoor pool. Dave’s Golf Range is located directly behind the hotel if you want to brush up on your golfing skills.

Hells Canyon A highlight of any visit to this area is a jet boat tour of Hells Canyon. Not as well-known as the Grand Canyon, Hells Canyon is equally epic and without the crowds. It is North America’s deepest river gorge and traverses a remote region with harsh terrain. At one point, you are on the border of Idaho, Washington and Oregon. The canyon gets narrower as you go further in and is more than a mile deep below the Oregon west rim.

Book a five-and-a-half hour Dug Bar trip with Snake Dancer Excursions.

Departing at 10am, this exciting excursion will show you what the canyon has to offer as you explore 120 miles roundtrip. Snake Dancer Excursions operates under authority of a special use permit issued by the United States Forest Service, Wallowa Whitman National Forest and Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. All the boats are Coast Guard licensed and inspected each year, and the captains are CPR and First Aid certified. Captain Eric Elben is a wealth of information on the history of the canyon.

The first stop was at Buffalo Eddy to view Native American petroglyphs—truly incredible to view these ancient works of art, and Elben allowed plenty of time for everyone to take photos. As you continue into Hells Canyon, he shares the history and lore of the area, including those of the Nez Perce Indians and stories of Chinese immigrants, miners and trappers.

The lunch stop takes place at the Cache Creek Ranch within the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. This shaded oasis with sloping green lawns and picnic tables in a fruit orchard is the perfect spot for an old-fashioned picnic with cold fried chicken, baked beans, salads and yummy homemade cookies just like your grandmother would make. There are also exhibits which provide information on the canyon’s natural history as well as the history of the area.

One question Elben always gets is, “When will we see the bighorn sheep?” His response is the sheep only work from 12 to 4 each day. Although joking around, it is actually pretty accurate as the bighorn sheep make their way down to the water in the afternoon when it gets hot to drink water. The sheep are plentiful, so it is highly likely you will see some on your trip. Other sightings include bear, river otters, bobcats and the occasional cougar or wolves, but these are rarer.

Once it is time to head back, Elben recommends putting your cameras away as it is going to get wet. The return trip is at a faster pace with some turns designed to soak everyone. On hot days there are opportunities to swim, and one favorite spot is a small waterfall flowing into the Snake River. This excursion should be on everyone’s bucket list. Hells Canyon is just breathtaking, and the jet boat trip is so unique. When planning your trip make sure to wear sunscreen.

Temperatures can get over 100 degrees in the canyon in the summer.

Near the Hotel Roosters Landing is a fun, laid-back place to eat. Its casual atmosphere is perfect after a day on the river. Dine inside or sit outside overlooking the Snake River.

The extensive menu has something for everyone from seafood, steak and pasta

to burgers, sandwiches and salads. The food is nothing fancy but very good with great service. They serve 18 microbrews, and 15 wines are available by the glass with local wines available. Across the parking lot is a quirky local shop, River Chicks Antiques and Knicks. This fun little shop is unlike most antique stores, with each little room organized around a theme.

A short walk from the hotel you can taste wines from the Lewis Clark Valley AVA at Basalt Winery in their cute tasting room. Next door is Riverport Brewery with a variety of local craft beer. Conveniently nestled between the two is Munchiez, which is a more permanent food truck, surrounded with a nice wooden deck. This place is very popular with locals and serves up some great food. Make sure to try anything with the tri-tip. Fresh cooked, you can order it in the super burrito Philly cheese steak, as a French dip, a tri-tip sandwich or atop nachos. It’s also sold as a meal with two sides and cheesy garlic bread or purchased by the pound.

Lewiston Across the Snake River is Lewiston, Idaho, with a quaint historic downtown.

A must stop is Newberry Square. This newly renovated space was brought

back to life by twin sisters Vikky Ross and Nikky Hites. The two longtime preservationists have a passion for bringing things back to life that people think have used up their lifespan—whether it is furniture or historic buildings. The two repurposed an old five-and-dime store into a vibrant downtown shopping area with a wine tasting room, restaurant, bakery and vintage stores. Their store is the Idaho Memories Gift and Souvenir Shop which carries the gifts and local products tourists love.

Beautiful Downtown Lewiston is also the name of the nonprofit which promotes the town with events that encourage people to come back to Main Street. Each First Friday during the summer enjoy a live concert with local bands. Get some exercise on a 1.5-mile Public Art Walk, making time to visit the shops and restaurants. The Nez Perce County Historical Society and Museum has a historical campus to share 150 years of the county’s history. Just outside of town are Hells Gate State Park and the Lewis and Clark Discovery Center with interesting indoor and outdoor exhibits.

There is plenty to keep you busy in the Lewis Clark Valley with two vibrant towns and the breathtaking Hells Canyon.
