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

During the last week, Shoreline-Lake Forest Park 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.
