By Sharon E. Best
Loyal readers of the Herald might remember that I wrote an article last year that described my bout with liver disease and obesity. I hired a personal trainer, lost 60 pounds (all of which are still gone) and changed my life by incorporating healthy eating and regular exercise.

The ship Abbott Point of Hong Kong arrived at the Port of Seattle recently. The vessel is part of International Handybulk Carriers (IHC), which is a pool of over 40 log and bulk ships formed to provide shippers with smaller cargo ships. Photo by Amber Trillo.
