Kathy Medina And Yosemite...I Love This Place!

Hi, my name is Kathy Medina. I have been going to Yosemite regularly for 45 years. I have a wonderful husband, Glenn. Together we have three great children, Jake, Zack and Lexi. We live in Clovis, California...two hours from Yosemite National Park.

I grew up visiting Yosemite on a regular basis. For the past 45 years my parents, siblings, nephews, niece, husband and children have spent the week of July 4th in Yosemite!

July 1-4 is always crowded in the park. But July 5th, the crowds are gone! My parents started the tradition of bringing us here to see the Firefall. Every July 4th, a large fire was made up at Glacier Point. When the fire was an ember, it was pushed off the cliff and presto....a firefall! It burned itself out before reaching Camp Curry below.

Growing up so close to Yosemite allowed us to go often. There are lot of things to do for free or for minimal cost once your here. Floating the Merced river, hiking, climbing rocks, riding horses...I have a lot of fond memories. I have hiked every waterfall, climbed Half Dome three times and hiked a lot of John Muir Trails. I have stayed at the Yosemite Lodge, Camp Curry, camped in tents, cabins and stayed at House Keeping.

I'm not terribly fond of camping in the tents. I do enough cooking at home with all the amendies that its no vacation to me to cook without them! I told my husband several years ago, "Kathy Medina does not camp!" So, you'll find us in the cabins!

Our middle child, Zack, has autism. Yosemite is his FAVORITE place to visit! So I make sure that he gets at least a day trip once a month. Since he has no physical handicap he can hike, climb, ride a bike, float the river...basically do all the stuff we like to do as a family. His biggest hurdle to overcome is language but he doesn't need to talk to have fun in Yosemite! With a diagnosis of autism we get a free life time pass to come and go as we please. (ok, that's 1 perk that Kathy Medina has with autism!)

Eleven years ago, I quit my job as a life insurance agent to home school Zack. I needed to supplement our income so I wrote a book titled, 'Finding God In Autism by Kathy Medina'. Then, I needed a place to sell it and I was blessed to find Site Build It! (SBI for short)

I knew NOTHING about building a website when I started. (But then again, I knew nothing about autism or how to write a book either!) Site Build it educated me. Clear, simple videos to watch and learn. It taught me everything I needed to know in building websites. It does the work, driving traffic to my sites.

I now have two sites. www.FindingGodinAutism.com and www.SeeYosemite.com. Both websites generate an income for us. We use this money to help pay for treatments for our son, Zack. I earn money from ads and items sold on my sites. I don't blog (don't have the time or the desire!) but I knew I could help others by sharing with them what I have learned. And Yosemite...I know! Sharing my knowledge through a website has been a good fit.

It's been alot of work. But it has been fun and a nice distraction from autism. If you are looking for a way to earn income from home, I highly recommend Site Build It.
