Welcome to my Blog!

I am Lisa Bluhm Mrs. Pacific Northwest 2010-2011. I am competing in March for the title of Mrs. Washington. The Mrs. Washington Pageant is about making a difference. As a contestant I volunteer my time and talents to serve charities and organizations. I am also an active participant in my community. I am passionate about many different organizations and leave myself open to be able to support or participate in as many as I can.

My platform is called "Unlock Your Potential". It has always been my passion to inspire and encourage others to discover their goals or dreams and then teach them the steps to achieve success. When I hear people say I could never do that, I am not talented or anything that is negative towards their capabilities I feel called to action to help them see they have the potential to do or be anything they want to be. It may not be the same goals or dreams someone else has but their own personal challenges that lie within them. Once they realize they have the potential and they can achieve their dreams they are on their way to achieving success in their life. It can be as simple as getting their house organized or running a marathon. I am able to use my personal experiences in trials and triumphs as examples to encourage and inspire them on their journey. Throughout the year I will be featuring different peoples stories and sharing how they have unlocked their potential. Will you be one of them? Contact me with your story I would love to hear about it!

It is my desire to be Mrs. Washington so that I may represent the married women of our state. I consider it an honor and a responsibility. I take this role seriously. With my 22 years of marriage and a lifetime of experiences I am ready to continue fulfilling my role as a leader and a mentor. As Mrs. Washington I will have the opportunity to reach out to even more people in our state sharing my platform and have more opportunities to volunteer and bring awareness to non profit organizations that make our state so great.

I have unlocked my own potential in many areas of my life. Competing in marathons and triathalons, leading women's groups, leading children's groups, coaching teams and starting my own business. After being a stay at home mom for several years I took my passion for creating soldered art and shared it with others. My company Simply Swank llc was born! I developed my own technique and product line that is now sold in stores globally. I am also the author of Simple Soldered Jewelry and Accessories, the host and instructor of Simply Solder DVD and am currently writing a new book.

Real Soccer mom's don't just bring the snacks... they coach the team!

Being the mother of sons I get to support them with their sports teams. Not only do I love to cheer them on, and I might add Loudly, I like to get more involved. I know traditionally mom's will be the team coordinator or bring the snacks and I have done my share of those jobs as well but I like to do more than that when I can. I have been a volunteer football coach and this year a soccer coach. I played soccer for 6 years when I was younger and also a recreation team as an adult. I have made sure it is okay with my boys and the other male coaches before I have taken on the role of coach. I enjoy being able to help guide them and most of all encourage them in their efforts. I am not a softie I can be tougher than the guy coaches! I love that I get to be right in the action of it all on the sidelines. It also brings me closer to my boys and their friends.

Today my son Jordan scored a goal! It was very exciting. He held his position and was in the right spot at the right time. Our team has only enough players for one sub so they get pretty tired running the whole field. They are doing great and having fun.
