The costs of caring for the animals come from donations, grants, events and other fundraising activities. “We are thrilled to partner with Furry Friends for their kick-off event,” said Nick Linca. “We understand at Provident Jewelry how important it is to support local charities and businesses and continue to do so throughout Priscilla Searcy, Laura Andrassy, Sherry Frederickson Seth Berman, Nick Linca, Rob Samuels of Provident By Commissioner Hal R. Valeche In 2004, the county purchased the 1,900-acre Mecca Farms property, a former orange grove site for $60 million. The purchase was part of the plan to lure the Scripps Research Institute to Palm Beach County, surrounded by a cluster of related biotech industries. Due to a complicated permitting process and major opposition from numerous environmental groups, a federal judge’s ruling caused the county to stop construction on this site. Jupiter was ultimately chosen as the new site for the Scripps Research Institute and the Mecca property lay dormant for several years. In addition to the $60 million the county spent to purchase the site, an investment of $40 million was spent on planning, permitting and initial construction costs for the Mecca property. Initially, county officials thought they could sell the property for development but the South Florida building boom went bust and the county was stuck with 1,900 acres of unused farmland with annual costs of $4 million in debt service and $250,000 for upkeep. Last October, the County Commissioners unanimously approved the sale of the Mecca property to the South Florida Water Management District for $26 million. While the county lost money on the deal, the property did sell above appraised value. The South Florida Water Management District intends to use the property as a water storage area and flow way to meet the Loxahatchee River Minimum Flows and Levels. As part of the deal, the county retains title to 22 acres on which a county water plan was built, and the county will have the option of buying back 98 acres of right-of-way for Seminole-Pratt Whitney Road at $14,000 per acre. The South Florida Water Management District agreed to give 150 acres to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to build a shooting range that will meet Olympic competition standards. The plan includes a shooting range capable of attracting national shooting events and will include trap and skeet shooting, pistol and rifle ranges, along with a pro shop, clubhouse and spectator seating. This property finally has a future with a multitude of public purposes, benefiting the environment and the citizens of Palm Beach County.

Member of Elder Counsel If you are like most people, you probably believe the best way to protect your heirs after your death is through a will. However, a living revocable trust is a far superior method of transferring property to your heirs. This is a contract wherein a party (the settlor), during his lifetime, establishes rules for the management and distribution of his property upon his incapacitation or death. Any competent adult can establish a living revocable trust, and any competent adult may serve as trustee. The heirs to whom the property in the trust will be distributed are known as the trust beneficiaries. A living revocable trust is established in writing and a trustee is appointed to manage and distribute the property in accordance with the settlor’s detailed instructions. Usually the settlor names himself as trustee of the trust property during his lifetime, with a spouse, friend, relative or financial institution named as a successor trustee upon his death or incapacitation. This allows the settler to continue to manage and control the trust property during his lifetime. Establishing a living revocable trust has substantial advantages over a will, for example: • Avoiding Probate: The biggest advantage of using a living revocable trust is that, unlike a will, it allows an estate to avoid probate. Probate is the process whereby the court oversees the transfer of your property to your heirs (which will be determined for you by state law if you don’t designate them in a will), and can be extremely time-consuming and expensive. It can take between six months and two years for an estate to clear probate, and the fees on a $300,000 estate can be as high as $18,000. A living revocable trust provides an inexpensive way to transfer your assets to your heirs quickly and easily without having to submit to probate. To be continued next month.

When you think about it, we all do it every day whether with our kids, employees or in a sales situation. So how can you improve your negotiation skills and get to “Yes?” At the beginning of any negotiation you must prepare. Recently during a real estate transaction we ran into some complications that led to a conflict and we almost lost the buyer. Deploying some simple steps can help get things back on track. 1. Prioritize your stakes; what are you willing to give concessions on and what is off limits? Determine the best outcome prior to starting the negotiation then develop a Plan B scenario. 2. Do your research. Identify where the other person’s interests lie. What issues are important to them? How well do you know them or the company they represent? 3. Who else may have a stake in this negotiation? What deadlines are you up against? Can you create leverage to move the deal along or using the deadline as a cost of delay tactic? 4. Develop supporting arguments and outcomes that can be used as persuasive bargaining tools. 5. Work on a strategy. Determine your bottom line? Set up your goals from an aspirational and reality based perspective and outline what you want to achieve in writing. Now that you have prepared for negotiations, let the games begin. Negotiations should be taken seriously, always remember not to get overconfident and never give away your bottom line. Using key objectives can help reveal your opponents positioning during the discovery process. 1. Keep the lines of communication open while sharing, listening and asking “why” questions. 2. Take a cooperative approach by identifying all possible issues surrounding the negotiations, never assume anything. 3. When you are in the bargaining zone be prepared to find overlapping points and use bridging techniques to create alignment. Bridging identifies alternative concessions by using creative tradeoffs and develops reciprocity. 4. Never make a concession without reciprocity and avoid unilateral concessions. 5. Be firm and assertive. Know your worth and be prepared to walk away! Try to avoid getting emotionally attached to the outcome. One time I was purchasing a car and I loved the pin striping detail. I started fixating on the fact the no other car would have those stripes and lost track of the bigger negotiation. Remember to stay focused during the negotiation process and you can obtain your ultimate goal. Jodi Cross is a marketing consultant, speaker and writer and can be reached at [email protected].

Fax:(561)627-3006 www.palmbeachplastics.com Email: [email protected] Pat Deshong and Marcia Dowd and their Divas Business Review keep their finger on the pulse of what’s happening, where people are going and what they are saying. They aren’t just going to tell you what they experienced and respected about this business, but what other randomly selected customers liked as well. We are interested in what their customers have to say and share their comments with you. According To The Divas... It is imperative that you do research before selecting any physician but being Divas we especially vetted this practice for purely selfish reasons! We learned about plastic surgery and the many new procedures available. We asked questions regarding their backgrounds, certifications and areas of expertise. With Florida being a mecca of surgeons to pick from we suggest you do the same. While we were more than satisfied with their answers and share their stories with you, we do feel that it is important for you to make an appointment and have a one-on-one with the doctor. The consultation is complimentary. Don’t be shy about questions pertaining to the cost and procedures available and be sure to share your expectations and the outcome you are hoping for. ABOUT THE DOCTORS... Dr. Alan Jacobson M.D. is the founder of this practice. He is triple Board Certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the American Board of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery and the American Board of Anti-aging Regenerative Medicine. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the American College of Surgeons (F.A.C.S), the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Society of Head and Neck Surgery. He practiced in New York for eight years; combining both private practice and academic medicine (Columbia University and Mt. Sinai Schools of Medicine). Moving to Palm Beach in 1989 and establishing the Physicians Skin Care Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Jacobson realized the fulfillment of his life’s professional dream. He combines his deep knowledge of surgical anatomy and skills with his extensive clinical experience to forge the concept of Minimally Invasive Facial Plastic Surgery. The center was the first in Florida and one of the first worldwide where these principles were incorporated into new techniques which are now the mainstay of plastic surgery protocols. These procedures achieve excellent results with no general anesthesia. Dr. Jacobson is widely published in textbooks and medical journals, and has been an invited lecturer and teacher both nationally and internationally. Dr. Vartan Mardirossian traveled here from Boston in pursuit of his passion for plastic surgery. He brings the latest advances of European and US facial plastic surgery techniques to the practice. His particular attention to the concepts of facial harmony and perception results in a personalized plan of surgical and non-surgical treatments aimed to achieve a naturally youthful and attractive look. Dr. M was born in Bulgaria and moved to Italy at a young age to attend the prestigious Collegio Armeno Moorat Raphael in Venice with full scholarship. He pursued and completed his medical studies at the Facolta’ di Medicina e Chirurgia dell`Universita’ degli Studi di Padova with Summa cum Laude. He was awarded with a presidential scholarship for the entire duration of his studies. During the years of his Residency in Head and Neck Surgery in Italy, Dr. M trained under the guidance of famous European rhinoplasty and facial plastics surgeons. He was invited to perform research in Head and Neck Oncology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and helped implement Robotic surgery at Boston University Medical Center. He completed a Residency in Head and Neck surgery at Boston University Medical Center and was among only 40 surgeons nationwide to pursue a Fellowship in Facial plastic and Reconstructive surgery, under the guidance of world acclaimed Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel at Boston University. During the Boston marathon tragedy Dr. M was called into the hospital to take care of the victims of the bombings, and with his timely intervention saved a patient from a permanent facial disfigurement. Dr. M was one of the few surgeons in Boston to be awarded with a certificate of appreciation for his service during the Boston Marathon tragedy. The passion and the determination of Dr. M to continue on the road of plastic surgery led him to Florida where he partnered with Dr. Jacobson. He says “I was immediately impressed by the genuine values and professional integrity of Dr. Jacobson - characteristics that are not easy to find in plastic surgeons nowadays.” According to many patients and their own staff, Dr. J and Dr. M work together in great agreement and harmony - not only in the operating room but also during the routine visits in clinic. As Dr. Jacobson confirms time and again, Dr M’s unique skills, dedication to achieve naturally youthful appearance and his profound knowledge of anatomy is what made him a great match for this practice and a keeper of his legacy for many years to come. The following is a brief description of the professional services available by our research and as described in the material and information provided to us. We did our best to summarize each of the procedures as described and in their own words. We recommend that you call their office directly for more In-depth information, schedule a complimentary consultation and see their premises including their own surgical suite where the procedures are performed. PROCEDURES: Face: S-Lift - A technique specifically developed for correction of jowls and upper neck. It consists of minimal incisions performed under local anesthesia or with twilight sedation. During this procedure, your own facial tissue is moved from your jowls to your cheek area to give a more youthful look to your face. J-Lift - A minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure developed by Dr. Jacobson. Similar to the S-Lift, this procedure is performed without the need of general anesthesia, and requires a bandage for only one day. The J-Lift is for patients who have more pronounced neck laxity and muscular sagging. There is usually minimal- to-no- bruising. Neck Lift - With the availability of new minimal incision surgical techniques, the neck can now be corrected without the need of a standard facelift. Performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, healing time is rapid and the patient can resume near normal activity in 5-7 days. SOOF Lift - As we age, we all get the appearance of having bags under the lower lids. This is often times associated with a crescent shape fullness on the cheek below the eye and triangular hollow below the eye next to the nose. The SOOF lift permits correction of these problems through a small inconspicuous incision below the eyelashes or inside the eye lid. This gives the cheek and the lower eyelid area a youthful and attractive appearance. Brow Elevation & Lateral Browlift - is a minimally invasive procedure, in which small 1.5 inch incisions are placed at the hairline on both sides and the brows are lifted with a nice youthful result, minimal downtime and excellent non-operated look. Eyelid Lift - When correcting eyelid lift problems it is always imperative not to cause a hollow or surprised look. Instead of removing skin and fat we now use what is available to us to create a more gentle transition between lower lid and the aging cheek. Healing time may be a long weekend. Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) - is performed in our Jupiter office under level III anesthesia. Dr. Mardirossian has co-authored a minimal approach procedure which guarantees a tiny incision with the same great result. Depending on patient`s anatomy and age, techniques can vary and you can expect to wear a nasal cast for a week. We pride ourselves in achieving a naturally pleasing result. Facial Feminization Surgery is available and is a set of reconstructive surgical procedures that typically enhance the feminine features and the attractiveness of the face. Breast Breast Augmentation - All procedures are performed without general anesthesia utilizing only twilight sleep in our fully licensed operating room. Currently they use silicone gel implants also called cohesive gel implants or “gummy bears” which always maintain their form. We are proud of the natural results and many satisfied patients through the years. Most patients can return to near normal activities in several days. Breast Lift - The “V - Lift”- Vertical Lift is a minimally invasive procedure where we utilize a person’s own breast tissue to lift and augment the breast. Our method gives the Breast more projection and does not require the type of incision that is known to cause the breast to flatten and be less aesthetically appealing. Body Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) - is performed under twilight sleep and local anesthesia. Excess skin and fat is removed, the waist is contoured and the muscles are tightened. We have found that our patients experience minimal pain. Smartlipo - is a new technique of liposuction. The fat is melted and the laser initiates a significant skin retraction reaction. Unlike more typical types of liposuction, Smartlipo allows skin contouring and shrinkage without the need for surgical intervention. Arms, neck, chest and muffin top No loose skin TM treatment - is a minimally invasive radio frequency skin- tightening procedure that eliminates redundant skin in the neck, chest, arms, thighs abovethe-knee area, as well as other areas, by improving the elasticity of the skin. Downtime, is minimal and the patient is usually back to her/his everyday activities the following day. NON SURGICAL TREATMENTS Fraxel Laser - is the gold standard for non-invasive facial rejuvenation. The procedure is performed with topical anesthesia and effectively reduces or diminishes photo damage, fine lines, large pores, wrinkles and brown spots. Dermal fillers: Juvederm - is an injectable replacement for the hyaluronic acid your skin has lost. It replenished its volume and smoothes away facial wrinkles, folds, scars and stretch marks. Belotero - is an FDA approved dermal filler made of a soft, cohesive gel used to fill fine lines and wrinkles around the lips and under the eyes. Belotero works instantly, plumping your skin and filling those unwanted folds and wrinkles. Results usually last 6 months or more. Voluma instantly adds volume to the cheek area to restore the youthful contour of the face. Botox Cosmetic is administered via a few tiny injections directly into the mimic muscles. Botox enables the muscles to relax by blocking the release of a chemical that normally causes them to contract. There is an impressive menu of “Specialized Skin Services” available by Estheticians Karen & Rozalia. Some of these treatments include: Advanced Facials Eye, Lip & Neck Treatments Skin Resurfacing Designer Peels Diamond Abrasion Collagen Treatments Permanent Makeup Waxing Manual Lymphatic Drainage HOSPITAL AFFILIATIONS : Jupiter Medical Center 1210 South Old Dixie Hwy Jupiter, Fl. 33458 The Plastic Surgery Center For Excellence own Private Surgical Suite PATIENT TESTIMONIALS: Beth, 47 and from Jupiter said that through the years she has been under the care of several plastic surgeons always trying to chase away “father time”. Her introduction to the Center for Excellence came when she complimented a woman who she knew to be much older and asked what her secret was. The woman smiled and said a “J Lift” by Dr. Jacobson and Dr. Mardirossian and when asked to see the scars, she answered there are none. Beth had been in the medical business for years and immediately called for a consultation. She was pleased with the doctor’s patience as they answered her many questions and was astounded when they dissuaded her from doing things they felt was unnecessary. She eventually had several procedures done at the same time at the Centers private surgical suite and was amazed the next day when all the bandages were removed and there were no bruising on her face or body. Dr. M explained that was due to a special type of local anesthesia which decreases bleeding, bruising and pain. She mentioned the experience was “easier and less stressful than some dental work I’ve had done. All my friends told me how great I now look, but the greatest compliment came from my dermatologist who told me I look natural and not pulled like some others do after a face lift.” Roni, 60 from Palm Beach, prides herself in being a “cougar.” Always being a size two, and considered attractive, she found “saying goodbye to beauty not a happy thing to do.” Starting with a breast implant at thirty and a breast lift twenty-five years later she felt it was time to do her face. Her procedure was an S-Lift with facial rejuvenation and done in less than an hour at the Center for Excellence surgical suite under twilight sedation. She experienced no pain and almost no bruising with a downtime of only four days. Roni was thrilled with the results saying “I look just like me only fifteen years younger.” What The Divas say about Doctors Jacobson & Mardirossian... Although we did not have the benefit of sampling as we traditionally like to do ( Marcia did manage to find a jar of chocolate candy. Pat tried to tell her it did not count), we feel confident in writing this review. Dr’s Jacobson & Mardirossian are qualified physicians with an impressive list of credentials. The practice has been in existence since1989 and we had the benefit of many satisfied clients to choose from. The office is warm, comfortable and inviting as is the staff. While we are not experts in this field, our research showed that they keep up with the latest technology and products available. You may be reluctant to admit this but we know that most of us, definitely Divas, have at least flirted with the idea of having something done to turn back the clock. This feeling is only natural and nothing to be ashamed of. If you feel that refreshing your look will make you a more confident and happier person then you should at least find out what is involved. Only you can make that decision and perhaps a visit to these doctors will help you decide. Oh, and when you go, please don’t forget to tell them The Divas sent you! The Divas keep their fingers on the pulse of what is happening in local businesses and share their perspective and customer opinions in their monthly column. If you have a comment, would like to be invited to a future Diva event or are interested in having them write about your business, please contact them at [email protected] or you can access their reviews at www.seabreezepublications.com/featuredstories.

This local art show has grown into a nationally recognized arts festival now held at Abacoa in Jupiter and is produced by the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce and presented by Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. Residents and visitors enjoyed a great variety of art, food, live music and artists creating everything from oil paintings and pottery to mixed media sculptures and fine jewelry on a beautiful President’s Day weekend. This three-day, family-friendly festival had something for everyone. There was a special children’s section with an art contest for kids and where they were encouraged to craft, exhibit and sell their creations. Students from several schools participated in a contest by decorating trash cans that added to the artsy festival. Lots of vendors with delicious food and aromas floating through the festival.

There are three grape varieties authorized for production: Palomino, Muscat of Alexandria and Pedro Ximénez. The last two grapes are mainly used for sweetening. Sherry is aged by the Solera system which uses tiers of wine casks that are systematically blended with the more mature wine in the casks below. Sherry comes in different styles. Fino is a crisp, dry and nutty delicate sherry. Manzaniila comes from the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and is typically lighter than fino, often with a little salty finish. Amontillado is amber in color with a distinctive nutty flavor that is complex, with a long finish. Palo Cortado is a rare variety of sherry that is much sought after. The production of this rare breed has notes that are a cross of a fino and the nutty richness of an amontillado. The character of this fine wine make it quite expensive. Oloroso sherry is dry and brown-colored. It is a rich nutty style with aromas of raisins. Cream sherry is sweetened with the addition of Muscat or Pedro Ximénez grapes and is more commercially produced. Sherry can be served with an appetizer or dessert. Spain offers great cheeses and salted hams. My favorite cheese is probably the famous Manchego. This cheese is incredible, made from unpasteurized sheep’s milk; it is aged between three months to two years. Normally butterscotch in color it is well developed, creamy with nutty flavors. To compliment this fine cheese I serve thinly sliced Serrano ham, fresh rustic Spanish bread baked with sundried tomatoes and an assortment of Manzanilla olives all marinated with oregano, thyme, garlic, orange, lemon and a little rosemary. These are Mediterranean wonders! Wouldn’t it be fun to offer your guest a sherry with all the accompaniments when they arrive at your home? Hasta pronto, Glenn Open to the public.

Like a synchronized dance, Kravis Center gala patrons were ushered from one room to the next, as they enjoyed an exciting evening – full of dancing, dining and more dancing – acting as both spectators and participants. Held at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, the annual black-tie affair began with a red carpet runway welcome in the lobby, a cocktail reception in the Shapiro Founders Room followed by a spectacular dance performance by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in Dreyfoos Hall, with the final act, a dinner dance, in the Gimelstob Ballroom, in the Cohen Pavilion. performance,” said Monika Preston. “The community expects the Kravis Center to be here, and as I look around this gorgeous room and see so many younger people here who want to be involved and inspired, there is no doubt that the Kravis Center’s future will be healthy and strong” Preston, who also served as last year’s gala chair, continued by thanking honorary chair and special friend Kathryn Vecellio, for her time talent and support before recognizing the junior Co-chairs Cameron Preston, Angela Vecellio and Tara Vecellio, for their enthusiasm, elegance and hard work. Joining the junior co-chairs in celebration of the center was a table of more than 50 of their closest friends. However, they weren’t the youngest patrons to attend Cameron and Jeffery Preston (Lucian Capehart Photography) Monika and John Preston (Corby Kay’s Studio Palm Beach) Making only a single-stop in West Palm Beach, and for the first time in more than 15 years, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater wowed the crowd with its graceful and emotional performance, ranging from pulse-racing and fastpaced to intimate and spirit-lifting. During the opening act, Minus 16, the audience had an opportunity to get in on the fun, as more than 15 dancers, dressed in black suits and top hats, moved from the stage and up the aisles of the theater, randomly selecting participants for a freestyle dance on stage. Hailed as America’s “cultural ambassadors to the world,” the theater company closed with one of their most famous masterpieces, Revelations, called “one of the great works of the human spirit” by The New York Times. Following many ovations, the gala guests proceeded onto a spectacularly decorated ballroom where dinner and dancing completed the event. At the dinner, Judith Mitchell, chief executive officer of the Kravis Center welcomed guests. “The generosity of gala guests, supporters and volunteers all contribute to the performing arts center, which then can continue to attract a variety of quality programs – touching Palm Beach County residents of all ages, races and socioeconomic backgrounds.” Mitchell continued by sharing, “People count on the Kathryn and Leo Vecellio (Lucian Capehart Photography) Kravis Center being here, and a well-funded endowment provides the long-term fiscal stability necessary for us to continue to carry out our mission. Tonight I have the distinct pleasure to report that the Kravis Center’s endowment is thriving. The recent announcement of a $5 million gift from the estate of Helen K. Persson brings the value of our Permanently Restricted Endowment Fund to $17.3 million.” Persson’s family and friends attended the gala and were introduced to guests during the announcements. Jane Mitchell, the Kravis Center’s chair of the board of directors, addressed patrons and recognized Alexander Dreyfoos, founding board chair, and William Meyer, immediate past chair of the board. She continued by extending her appreciation to gala attendees, “Thank you for your continued generosity, your confidence, and your trust in our ability to carry out our mission to enhance the quality of life in Palm Beach County. Your attendance tonight is important support ... support that has direct impact on the Kravis Center’s national and international reputation as it continues to grow as a premier performing arts venue.” Jane Mitchell then turned the podium over to the gala chair, Monika Preston. “We estimate that more than eight million people have walked through our doors since opening in 1992, and approximately two million children have seen a live Michael and Angela Vecellio (Lucian Capehart Photography) this year’s gala. Sponsored by Laurie Silvers and Mitchell Rubenstein, a table of future performers and future arts enthusiasts were special guests at the event. The “Rising Stars Table,” was a group of eight teenagers from nearby Dreyfoos School of the Arts, many interested in dance themselves. Treated to world-class service and enviable food by Catering by The Breakers, the evening’s dinner gave galaAlvin Ailey Dance on page 15 Jupiter Spotlight, Page 15 highest quality; by offering comprehensive arts education programs; by providing a home in which local and regional arts organizations can showcase their work; and by providing economic catalyst and community leadership in West Palm Beach, supporting efforts to increase travel and tourism to Palm Beach County.

The first-course, a seafood trilogy, included quinoa crusted scallop, smoked salmon tartare and Maine lobster medallions. The next act was an entrée of sea salt and herb crusted filet of beef, with a side of foie gras and duck ravioli, honjimegi mushrooms and sweet potato-parmesan pavé. The performance grand-finale included a decadent ice cream sundae – a hit, as each patron created their own unique spin on the dessert. The final act concluded with, of course, more dancing, as guests embraced the tunes of Marcia Mitchell Music well into the night.

Our 10 a.m. Saturday class after the “Power Hour.” Color In Shade By Gustavo Asp, President, Magland Landscape Design Florida may be the Sunshine State, but that doesn’t mean every backyard is blessed with full sun. South Florida encompasses U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) hardiness zones 9 and 10. Finding shadeloving plants for this region can be challenging, but many types of tropical and subtropical plants perform well in south Florida so long as gardeners provide frequent watering. Shade plants offer diverse color and texture, and some varieties display flowers. Shade gardens are a wonderful way to utilize the areas under trees, beside fences and along foundations. But be sure to choose the right plants for your shady spot. Check your garden’s shade patterns. High tree canopies give partial or dappled shade, while buildings or low trees provide full shade. Some shade loving plants also love the sun, Bromeliads so if your shade shifts, look for plants that adapt, like flax lily. Many shady areas are also dry, so use drought tolerant shade lovers like Devil’s Backbone.

Other shade-loving perennials include ferns, Stramantha and gingers, but many more are available. For some color, add caladiums; for flowers, Shade garden design and add dragon wing and angel installed by Magland wing begonias. Also for texture bromeliads is the way to go with a large range of varieties. If you use a lot of purple-leaved plants some lime-colored or variegated leaves will provide a nice contrast. Sanchezia has a yellow green variety that could be paired with its purple sister. Spider plant has lots of white foliage and pairs well with Ti plants too like Black Magic, Tricolor Ti, Anti Lou and more. As you near the edge of a tree canopy or shady area you can experiment with plants that need a little more sun. Liriope, variegated arbacola and other mounding grasses make a nice transition to turf at the edge of shade. These areas are also great to create hardscape spaces, pavers or rocks can be installed to use these spaces for recreation adding texture and color. Water features are also a good option creating Dragon wing begonia a nice focal point and adding the calming sound of the water. Please contact me to help you and guide you in your next gardening project. There are lots of options out there it’s just a matter of finding the right one for each space. (561) 745-6756.

VaLant I patiently await a friend at a coffee shop in Palm Beach Gardens. As mid-afternoon patrons buzz in and out, I eavesdrop on creative beverage requests. My friend appears, orders and we begin catching up. Next to us, a phone alarm reminds “vanilla soy latte’ lady” of something. She silences her phone and closes her eyes. About a week later, I’m at a traffic light, in Boca. It’s sunny with a crisp breeze, my windows are down. A phone sounds, from the blue car next to me. It’s 3 p.m. He motions, asking to be let in. He pulls in to the parking lot, at the bank got to thinking of the heavy burden we carry by harboring resentment or the feelings associated when others have mistreated us.” Dr. Deborah Brown, clinical psychologist agrees, “Anger can be emotionally and physically harmful, when it remains stuck inside us, unmoving and unresolved. These feelings can lead to revenge or violence. The only way I know to release long-held anger is forgiveness.” Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness. Marianne Williamson where I’m headed, turns the car off and sits there. By the time I finish at the drive-thru, he’s gone. I had almost forgotten about the 3 p.m. phenomenon. Until perusing produce at the grocery store, I hear an alarm chime. You guessed – it’s 3 p.m. The couple left their cart and went outside. I’ll Google it tonight, I tell myself. I didn’t find anything. The following weekend, in Boca Raton, I’m at a yoga retreat, presented by Wendi Blum and Leslie Glickstein at Yoga Journey. I was about to receive an unexpected bonus. In between Saturday’s speakers and yoga practice, Wendi unveiled the mystery that had been dogging me for weeks. “Years ago, I was listening to Marianne Williamson, on XM Radio. It was 3 p.m., she was addressing forgiveness. I You might forgive the person who just cut you off in traffic, resentment from a co-worker, or the cause of a painful childhood experience. The person doesn’t have to know you forgave them. They may no longer be a part of your life, or may have passed on. “Forgiveness does not absolve others of their own wrongdoing. Forgiving is a powerful step toward your own peace of mind, not a passive surrender,” added Brown. Forgiving allows past bad feelings to drift away from you, like white billowy clouds. All major religious traditions carry basically the same message (love, compassion and forgiveness). The important thing is to make them part of our daily lives. Dalai Lama “Three o’clock made perfect sense, for my daily reminder,” stated Blum. “I shared this philosophy during yoga teacher training at Yoga Journey Studio, in Boca. As a group, we decided to share in the daily ritual, and expand it within our own classes.” Devoting a few daily moments to forgiveness can be extremely liberating. “I found that by being mindful and releasing feelings of anger, hurt, or resentment, I created a space to welcome better things to my life.” Often, as Wendi is addressing a group as a strategy-coach or during presentation, not only does her alarm sound at 3 p.m., but it has company. This makes her smile. She estimates a couple thousand people now share this practice. It continues to grow by word of mouth, social media, and a dedicated Web site. The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world. Marianne Williamson “The goal with this movement is to achieve peace on Earth, by forgiving others and also ourselves. Peace begins within each of us,” stated Blum. If this resonates with you, adapt this routine to your daily life, and notice what happens. It will positively change your life.” When you forgive, you in no way change the past – but you sure do change the future. Bernard Meltzer “Depending upon the level of emotion surrounding your feelings, it may take days, months, or even a year to reach a place of acceptance. But know when this happens, miracles will follow. It all begins with forgiveness,” added Blum. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Mahatma Gandhi The weekend of the yoga retreat, I set my mobile phone with a special daily chime for 3 p.m. The first few times were easy. My spouse had recycled something irreplaceable (confession: he was on my 3 p.m. radar for days). I have forgiven those who haven’t treated me the way I felt I deserved to be treated. Many times, I am the subject of my own 3 p.m. moment. It is nice to take a mindful moment to forgive. It feels good for my heart and for my head. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. Lewis B. Smedes I got to thinking how 143 translates to I Love You (one letter, four letters, three letters). According to Wikipedia, not only is 176 an “angelic number;” I translate it to I Forgive Myself, or I Forgive Others. So the next time you’re out and you hear an alarm (maybe it’s yours?) at 3 p.m. or see 176; know that you are a part of a powerful, positive movement toward peace – your own, and the world surrounding you. You are invited to set your daily alarm at 3 p.m., visit and share forgiveness at www. 4giveat3.com or on FaceBook at 4giveat3.

Career Guidance For Teens By Jim Forgan, Ph.D. Licensed School Psychologist Your teen can complete a career and personality inventory if he or she needs direction due to uncertainty about career options or selecting a college major. This process will give your teen a focus and understanding about his or her interests and matching those to a career that will make them money. A small investment of time and money can help shape your teen’s future so he or she becomes independent and selfsupporting. This informative process is two hours and is for teenagers ages 13-22 (eighth grade through college). When you come in, we’ll sit down for a short intake process so we can understand your needs. This is followed by the teen taking a career inventory-assessment along with a personality inventory. After this we discuss an integrated written report of specific careers which match your teen’s profile. Together we’ll formulate a short action plan of next steps. Parents are involved in the debriefing to help everyone get on the same page. The teen and parent receive understanding, areas to research, and resources to help. Best of all, the teen has a direction, knowledge and a better understanding of him or herself. Don’t let your child become a statistic because at least 50 percent of entering college students are undecided about their majors. Furthermore, 50 percent – 70 percent of students change their majors at least once before they graduate. When a teen changes majors their parents spend excess money. Most importantly, teens without direction are more likely to drop out of college. Dr. Forgan is a licensed school psychologist and he and his associates offer gifted, dyslexia, ADHD/ADD and processing testing, as well as career inventories.

This is our time to trust our creator as we all go through a powerful month of rapid transition. This will be a month of colossal events, breakthroughs, increased wisdom and great opportunities.

Find more on this in my blog. Go to my Web site: www.carolelynngrant. com. Aries (March 21 to April 20) Be aggressive on your own behalf; other people may slow you down.
