Robin
Single mom of two finds
many others willing to support
her in her fight with breast cancer
R
Robin Vander Linden loves nothing better than a
night out with the girls.
After all, it’s what a typical 34-year-old mom of
two should be doing to blow off some steam.
For Robin, however, her circle of friends means
more than an evening of fun and gossip. It has
been a lifeline.
After being diagnosed with inflammatory breast
cancer in March 2013, the single mother was
naturally and understandably devastated.
“No words can express how I felt,” she said. “My
first thought was that I was going to die.”
7
But when a course of antibiotics failed to do the
trick, Robin was sent for another mammogram. It
revealed she had a tumor the size of a lemon.
“I was blown away. I was in tears,” recalls
Robin.
The following morning she was in Tucson to meet
with a surgeon and after further tests in Phoenix
she was given her diagnosis during a phone call
at a weekend children’s birthday party.
The cancer was at stage 3 and she headed into
what have probably been her darkest moments
during her journey.
It’s a huge understatement to say that life has
thrown Robin a few curveballs in the past 12
months. But what cannot be overstated is the
remarkable attitude she has adopted to get
through those seemingly impossible obstacles, the
first of which reared its ugly head shortly after
her 33rd birthday.
The friends attending that same party were
able to support Robin as she dealt with the
devastating news, and that turned out to be how
the following year would unfold.
“I had an inflamed left breast and a rash, but I
thought it was just an infection. I didn’t think it
could be cancer because I was young and I’d had
a mammogram when I had my son and it had
shown nothing,” said the mom of Samantha, 6,
and LT, 4. “I thought it would go away.”
“This little town has blown me away,” said
Robin, who arrived in Sierra Vista from Mesa a
decade ago. “If I had been in a big city I would
have been just another person. My friends have
held fundraisers, cake bakes, and I’ve had quilts
continued on page 9
made for me and so many
Robin credits her friends, family and the
community with helping her maintain her
positive attitude.
V i tal i ty | s p r i n g 2 0 1 4
Throughout her
illness Robin has
been overwhelmed
with the support
she has received
from friends, family
and even people
she had never met
before.
And so she set up a
Facebook page to
allow her to keep
as many people as
possible updated
on her progress.
The page also
allows others to
place messages
of support,
which Robin has
found to be both
inspirational and
comforting.
To her amazement,
“Most people on
there are complete
strangers.”

other wonderful gestures. I’ve
had good people constantly in
my life.”
Robin knew from the start she
would need a mastectomy, which
she amazingly describes as “the
easy part”.
“Of course I was devastated and
at the time I just felt inadequate.
I was losing a feminine part of
my body. But now I don’t have
it, I don’t miss it. I was glad it
was gone,” Robin said, explaining
removing her breast was like
removing everything that had
caused the trauma.
Good news arrived last summer
when Robin was told the
chemotherapy she had undergone
had eradicated the tumor from
her breast, as well as the cancer
that had spread to her liver.
“

“
continued from page 7
But after recovering from her
mastectomy and undergoing
radiation, Robin noticed a
rash under her right breast. In
early October, she received the
shattering news the cancer had
returned.
“I just thought ‘Oh my God,
I have to go through all that
again’,” she said.
While many in her position might
have felt like throwing in the
towel, for Robin there was only
one option: “I had to fight to live
because of my kids.”
Divorced for three years, Robin
decided from the start to be
honest with her children about
what was happening.
“These kids have had to grow
up quickly,” she said. “Seeing
their mom go through cancer is
a big deal. But I have explained

After her second diagnosis, Robin
had to undergo double doses of
radiation treatment – twice daily
– because her doctor at Cochise
Oncology wanted to move her on
to chemotherapy as quickly as
possible.
She was relieved when the second
round of chemotherapy did not
result in the loss of her hair, which
had started to grow back after the
first treatment.
“I was supposed to lose my hair,
and I have from every other part
of my body, except my head,”
said Robin, who was so grateful
for the support of the Butterfly
Club, which provides free wigs
for women with cancer, she found
the time and energy to volunteer
at its events. Its founder Wilma
Mrosek-Moses, “played a huge part
in making me feel better and more
feminine.”
A recent scan has shown she is
again clear of cancer, but she faces
another mastectomy in April and
probably a lifetime of tests to
monitor any possible return of the
disease.
Looking forward, Robin has a
renewed appreciation of the simple
things in life and no longer “sweats
the little things”.
“I would love to volunteer and give
back to the community that’s given
so much to me. I’ve had complete
strangers knock on my door and
give me $100,” said Robin, who
decided to give up her job working
with a private housing contractor
at Fort Huachuca after her second
diagnosis. “You appreciate the
non-materialistic things when you
go through something like this. I
just look forward to spending more
time with my kids and creating
more memories.”

natural remedies
They say you are what you eat,
but can your diet help stave off a
cold during the winter and spring
months?
According to Pam Chandler, it can.
“A recurring customer question is
‘How do I strengthen my immune
system?’,” said the supplement
manager of the Sierra Vista Food
Co-op. “When people come to
us they are generally looking for
natural ways or new perspectives
on health issues.”
nature’s herbs, spices
can help you feel healthy
Pam, a registered nurse, points to
three natural remedies that can
easily be incorporated into the
diet.
“The amount of research being
done on ginger, garlic and turmeric
is growing, and so is the list of
beneficial effects on the body,” she
said. “They can easily be added
to the diet by peeling and grating
them and adding them to homemade soups or stir-fry, and ginger
can be peeled and diced and used
to make tea.”
When looking for natural remedies, Pam recommends doing your
homework first.
“In this age of information we
have multiple sources of information available to us regarding
natural foods and herbs that boost
health. Look for information that
is backed up by research,” she
said, citing www.medicalnewstoday.com as a reliable website.

Benefits of ginger
Benefits of turmeric
Ginger is widely used for treating
loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting,
motion sickness and flatulence. In
some parts of the world ginger juice
is applied to the skin to treat burns.
Researchers in Iran found that
taking ginger capsules helped
reduce the
symptoms
of period
pains, while
ginger powder proved
to be as
effective as
conventional
medication
for some migraine
sufferers.
Grate some ginger root and put it
in your juicer, along with carrots,
apples and a little lemon juice.
Used as a main spice in curry, turmeric can also help treat arthritis,
heartburn, stomachache and diarrhea.
Benefits of garlic
According to the National Library of
Medicine, garlic is used for several
conditions linked to the blood system and heart, including hardening
of the arteries, high cholesterol,
heart attack, coronary heart disease
and hypertension.
It is also a good source of manganese and potassium, which helps
support immunity, and it improves
digestion.
Simmer three teaspoons of turmeric
in water for tea or use it to flavor
stir-fries, marinades or stews.
Packed with antioxidants, garlic can
boost the immune system, but if you
succumb to a cold try sipping garlic
tea – steep chopped or minced garlic
in hot water for several minutes,
strain and drink. Add some honey
or ginger to improve the taste.

In March 2011, after a spell as an independent
contractor, Kirsten opened the doors of Sonora
Family Care at 77 Calle Portal, Sierra Vista. “It
was me and just one other person on the front
desk,” she recalls. “We just kind of lumbered
along and then it shot up like a rocket.” Now
Kirsten averages 15 to 20 new patients a week
and has a support team of six.
Kirsten Cares
nurse practitioner, staff treat patients like family
Since opening the doors of Sonora Family Care,
nurse practitioner Kirsten Wister has quite literally been welcoming her patients with open arms.
Frustrated with what she felt was a lack of personal empathy and a genuine caring attitude at
other medical practices she had worked for, she
decided to branch out and start her own.
Such was Kirsten’s determination to stay true to
her values, she and her husband dipped into their
401k plans and forged ahead without any help
from investors, lawyers or accountants.
Kirsten’s passion for what she does, and the way
she does it, is apparent even during a relatively
short conversation. She thinks nothing of going
above and beyond to ensure her patients receive
the best treatment possible, from carrying out
home visits to dropping off baskets of goodies at
Thanksgiving.

“It all happened so fast and I had a hard time
finding staff to fit in with my model of care,”
said Kirsten, who is now writing a book about
starting a nurse practitioner’s office. “It’s not
about getting patients through the door, but taking care of people.”

“People feel welcome and relaxed
here. Our receptionist greets people
by name and means it,” said the
mother of two and grandmother of
three. “Patients realize that all of us
care about them as an individual.
This is their medical home.”
A member of the medical profession since 1992, Kirsten is a firm
believer that preventative care is
something all families should practice to avoid unnecessary health
issues down the road. She offers
her tips for staying healthy in mind,
body and spirit.
Diet
Families can eat healthily without
breaking the bank, emphasizes Kirsten, who will be conducting healthy
cooking classes in the near future.
“Fresh fruit and vegetables can be
expensive,” she acknowledges. “So
wait until corn comes on sale for 10
for a dollar and enjoy it then. Frozen
vegetables are flash frozen and so
they’re the same as fresh, and they
don’t cost much. It’s the same with
frozen meat – it’s a lot cheaper and
because it’s flash frozen it doesn’t
have all those preservatives.”
Soda
Just keep kids away from soda, is
Kirsten’s straight talking advice.
And juice isn’t any better because of
the sugar it contains. “The calories
just turn to fat and it’s not good for
teeth,” she said. Instead, give them
water with no calorie flavorings, like
Crystal Light, or carbonated flavored
water.
“Kids also need milk. Skimmed not
whole,” she adds. “It’s full of protein and good for their bones.”
Violence Prevention
“Turn the television off. It’s nothing
but inappropriate sex and violence,
unless you constantly monitor it,”
15
said Kirsten. “If you grow up with
that then you think it’s the norm
and become aggressive.”
Dental Hygiene
Kirsten advises giving your sixmonth-old a toothbrush – under
supervision of course. It’s an age
where children are starting to put
everything in their mouths so get
them used to having a toothbrush,
she reasons.
“Dental hygiene is something that is
highly overlooked, but it can lead to
the spread of germs which are very
hard to treat,” she said.
Sex
“I will often sit down with kids and
talk to them about sex education.
I’m not judging them; I’m trying
to help them. They need to hear
about genital warts and why they
shouldn’t be having a baby at 15,”
Kirsten said.
She knows it can be hard for parents
to start such a conversation, so she
also offers advice on how to approach those awkward situations.
“I’ve had parents come in and make
an appointment to talk to me and
I’ll sit them down and take them
through it,” she said.
Self-care for Women
“Women are notorious for not taking care of themselves. We are the
carers of the world,” said Kirsten.
“When we work, we still do the
same at home as when we were
housewives, so it’s easy to see why
women don’t have the time to take
care of themselves.”
That just leads to an increased
intake of caffeine, smoking, no exercise and a poor diet.
“You have got to have some time
in your routine where you have 30
minutes without the phone,” she
advises. “Go out of the house, go for
a walk and get some fresh air. Go on
your own, or take your husband and
the kids.
“Women are having heart attacks
and strokes, they are stressed,
anxious and depressed but doing
nothing about it. Just take 15 minutes for yourself. It gets everything
calmed down. It’s easy stuff.”
Eating properly is also essential
to any woman’s well-being, which
means avoiding those energy drinks
to get you through a busy day and
instead consuming proteins, fruits
and vegetables.
Finally, Kirsten stresses that women
should be carrying out regular
self-breast examinations, keeping
their mammogram and Pap smear
appointments, as well as having annual check-ups.

pampering you to perfection
even just a manicure can make you feel special
Mothers united in disbelief, and probably envy, when supermodel
Gisele Bundchen revealed her idea of multi-tasking. While harried women everywhere ran themselves ragged in the run up to
Christmas, a serene Gisele Tweeted a photo of herself breastfeeding her baby, while her team prepared her for another day on the
catwalk.
A visit to your favorite salon can be just as effective as a therapy
session, says Pat, who has been soothing the brows of frazzled
women in Sierra Vista for 28 years. “Our girls always listen and
build a rapport,” she said. “Clients come here to dump their
stresses and they walk out the door feeling lighter and happier.”
But for those who want to get the supermodel treatment, Today’s
Look offers what Carrine describes as “the ultimate package”.
We may not all have the resources of
a beauty icon, but that doesn’t mean
a pampering session is out of reach.
Even if time and money are short,
there are simple, low cost ways to
help you de-stress and feel like the
million dollars Gisele probably earned
this month.
“Just getting a new hair style gives
your confidence a boost,” says Carrine Wells, manager and esthetician
at Today’s Look Salon & Day Spa.
“And even a manicure can make you
feel special. When you’re stuck in a
rut one little change can make a big
difference.”
And, as owner Pat Nicoll concisely
sums it up, “When you look good you
feel good.”

baby boot camp
whips post-baby bodies back into shape,
and lets your youngsters participate too!
For Kateri Payne the Baby Boot Camp philosophy is simple: “When mom is healthy,
their families are healthy.” In other words,
taking care of mom is smart, proactive and
has positive consequences for those around
her.
Three times a week 40-year-old Kateri
leads a group of a dozen mothers and their
offspring through a lively hour of exercise,
social activities and nutrition advice.
The important thing to note here is the
involvement of the children. “It gets you in
shape and you can take your baby instead
of finding a sitter,” said new recruit Megan
Lopez, who has brought son Elijah, nearly
2, to today’s session at The Mall at Sierra
Vista.
Military spouse Megan, 24, also found Baby
Boot Camp to be a great way to meet new
people after arriving at Fort Huachuca last
May.
“It’s hard to make friends when you get to
a new city,” she said, adding that she’s lost
10 pounds since October. “But this gets
us out of the house, the kids get to play
together and we get to exercise.”
The prenatal and postpartum fitness classes
are designed to help new moms – although
dads are also welcome - lose the pregnancy
pounds, as well as combat the baby blues.
And some activities directly involve the
youngsters, from sprinting while pushing
25
a stroller to having
junior sit on you as
you knock out a set
of stomach strengthening sit-ups. That
aspect of the class is
what appealed to new
mom Sarah Workman,
who did not want to
leave her 14-monthold daughter Madison
behind while she
worked out.
Don’t panic –
your bundle of joy
will not be told to
“Drop and give me
20” by a burly Drill
Sergeant.
Baby Boot Camp
takes a fun and
social approach to
help busy moms
stay fit!
“She gets to socialize
with the other kids,
which has been really
good for her. Madison has started doing
much more since we started,” said Sarah,
who was one of the first women to sign up
when Kateri started her Baby Boot Camp
franchise in June last year. “It’s also more
motivating when you are in a group,” added
the 25-year-old, who has dropped two sizes
since joining.
Aimed at all fitness levels, newcomers
receive a basic equipment kit and a warm
welcome from the group leader. Health
coach Kateri, herself a mom of Jaina, 8, and
Mira, 18 months, started the local Baby
Boot Camp group to keep herself busy and
stay in shape.

After doing her research, she felt the Baby
Boot Camp brand was both trustworthy and
safe – it follows guidelines set by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology
and the American Council on Exercise.
“It also provides a very supportive environment,” she adds. “I’d say that’s the biggest
reason for any new mom to join.”
Classes take place 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.,
Monday and Wednesday at Tompkins Park
and Friday in The Mall at Sierra Vista.
Prices start from $4.58 per class –
various payment options are available.

Hiking
Head for the hills this weekend
and enjoy one of America’s favorite
outdoor pursuits.
“Hiking is such a great activity
for the whole family. I love to see
parents out with their kids and
introducing them to the outdoors.
It’s something they can do together,”
enthuses Susan Moran, a member of
the Huachuca Hiking Club.
Aside from the many health benefits,
hiking has a lot more to offer,
including social interaction, fresh air
and spotting wildlife.
“Get out in the country where you
can stretch your lungs and take in the
fresh air,” recommends club member
and mother-of-five Karen Stryker.
If a full hike sounds too much, both
Susan and Karen agree walking is a
good place to start.
“Just wander around some of the
state parks, like Biosphere 2 –
something that will also stimulate the
mind,” said Karen. “If the kids like
it, then get them out to see nature.”

clothing & shoes
A hiker for 30 years, Susan recommends setting out with the right
clothing and equipment, both for
safety and comfort.
“Buy a pair of hiking shoes, rather
than wearing tennis shoes. That’s
probably the biggest expense you
will have,” she
said. “Wear long
pants to protect
you from bushes
and possible snake or
insect bites, as well as the sun, and
wear a long sleeved shirt and layers,
depending on the weather and altitude. Take food and water – never
hike without them – and always
take sunscreen, a hat and a phone.”
Trail maps are available at the
Sierra Vista Ranger District center
at 4070 S. Avenida Saracino,
Hereford. The rangers can help you
choose appropriate trails, especially
if you are a beginner. Susan recommends Brown Canyon Trail as a
good starting point – the trailhead is
marked along Ramsey
Canyon Drive.

In a nutshell:
This former boomtown was once the closest

ghost town along the San Pedro River. Visitors can enjoy self-guided tours of the remaining historic buildings. Volunteers staff
Fairbank on weekends.
Family Friendly?
Take the children for a tour of the former
schoolhouse and museum to learn about

One of the area’s greatest
natural wonders is Kartchner
Caverns. This is one of the
few living underground caves.
It has an average temperature of 72º and about 99%
humidity year-round.
Family Friendly?
In addition to the cave, the
park also hosts many special

ANTIQUES & WONDERMENT
POWERED BY IMPROBABILITY
Want to be happier?
open up
and look inside first
Massages, manicures and spa treatments may offer temporary rest and relaxation,
but this is not the kind of self-care Dr. Maria Church is prescribing. According
to the leadership coach, author and teacher, the concept of self-care
encompasses the mind, body and spirit. It’s about focus, choices and
self-awareness.
And the last thing, self-care is an act of selfishness, she says. “Selfcare begins with self love. It’s about valuing and caring for yourself
and who you are,” she emphasizes. Feelings of guilt should be put
aside and women, in particular, need to approach the concept of
self-care with a new mindset. Namely, that making “you” the priority
does not mean abandoning other responsibilities.
“I like to use the analogy of when you are on a plane and the air crew starts
we can
“get
into
a relationship
with the
negative
thoughts in our
head ... they
keep us from
contentment
and happiness.”
explaining the safety procedures,” she says. “When they talk about the oxygen
mask, they tell you to put yours on first, then on your child. When it comes to
self-care, it’s exactly the same. Put your oxygen mask on first before dealing with
everybody else and seeing what’s left over for you.
“You may believe you are being selfish but that’s because it’s been ingrained in
many of us when we were girls through what we were taught by our mothers and
grandmothers. Recognize it’s OK to let go of those beliefs that no longer serve us.
“It’s the best way we can care for those people we love – by caring for ourselves.”
The road to self-care begins with the art of awareness, explains Dr. Maria, author
of “Love Based Leadership: Transform Your Life With Meaning and Abundance”.
And they are simple steps to take. “It could be about what you choose to eat,
where you choose to park the car – park a few spaces farther away and walk the
extra distance. It’s awareness of what you allow into your mind,” she said. “With
awareness those changes will snowball.”
Power Hour
Dr. Maria is a proponent of introducing a “power hour” to your daily routine,
consisting of 20 minutes of feeding the mind, 20 minutes of improving the body
I putting

than I am in
my body? ”

and 20 minutes of energizing the spirit. And as you protest that finding a spare
hour is nigh on impossible, she is quick to point out that it does not have to be a
consecutive 60 minutes. “It can be broken up into segments throughout the day,”
she said.
34
V i tal i ty | s p r i n g 2 0 1 4
“Feed the mind with some reading. It
could be industry related like, for me,
a self-help book – something to feed me
intellectually. Exercise for 20 minutes,
but if you are pressed for time, break it
down. You can always find two, 10-minute blocks.” The final 20 minutes are all
about the spirit, whether that be meditation, prayer or simply sitting in silence.
Mind
“We do some things mindlessly that can
do more harm than good,” Dr. Maria
believes. “What are we allowing to come
into our minds? Are we watching too
much violence on TV, for example? We
are not always aware of what we are
allowing to come in to our subconscious mind. Start thinking consciously about what you want to bring in to
your mind.
Body
“This is so much more than diet and
exercise, although that is a part of
it. It’s about honoring the body that
contains all the rest of who we are,”
says Dr. Maria. “This is not the dress
rehearsal. Ask yourself, Am I putting
better fuel in my car than I am in my
body?”
enough time to hydrate our bodies,” she
said.
Spirit
“There are different mental models for
different people, but I see spirit as the
vitality, the energy that surges through
us,” Dr. Maria says. “Find a practice that
resonates with you. That could be meditation, prayer or just stillness.”
She also believes that values play a large
part in keeping one’s spirit energized.
“It’s about authenticity and alignment,”
she explains.
Moving, she says, is also essential. “Our

a meditation CD to help get me started.

20 minutes.”

STRESSED OUT?
Stress is something we all experience, but how we deal with it can
determine whether we remain on a
healthy path.
Common signs of stress include:
Change in eating habits, smoking,
irregular sleep patterns, increased
alcohol intake, careless driving, emotional outbursts, irritability, depression, nervousness and anxiety.
There are ways, however, to successfully manage stress, according to
the Arizona Heart Institute, which
include:
Learn how to relax
Try to relax 15 to 20 minutes twice
a day. With practice, you should feel
fresh and revived after each session.
Visualize tension flowing from your
body as you relax, think about pleasant images and breathe deeply.
What bothers you?
Think constructively about what
bothers you. How you think about
events in your life determines how
you react to situations. By thinking rationally, you can change your
approach to stressful situations and
maybe even defuse the stress before
it happens.

Improve your self-talk
Most people carry on silent conversations with themselves during the day.
When your self-talk is positive, you
allow yourself to succeed. When it is
negative, you may give up on yourself and not even try.
Vitality asked three busy women for their top tips on
self-care and juggling a busy schedule
Be good to yourself
This means taking time for
yourself to do the things you
value and enjoy. Whatever
activity you decide to do, do
it regularly. Commit to making
time for yourself.
Get adequate exercise
Exercise not only gives you the
physical benefits of more endurance, strength and energy,
it benefits the emotions as
well. Pick an activity you enjoy
and do it three to four times
a week, for 20 minutes each
time.
Get proper nutrition
Monitoring your diet and its
nutritional value is especially
important during stressful
times because this is when
you tend to eat poorly. Sugar,
salt and caffeine are natural
stressors.

“I try to fit in exercise

and get as much sleep
as possible. I also think
you need to laugh.
That’s the key to life.”

so if I get up with them
I can get more done

“I like to walk. It gets
me out in the fresh air
and helps me clear my
mind of all the things
that don’t matter. I
also take five minutes
to have a break from
my work, which helps
me focus again. I think
that’s so important.”

If you feel there just aren’t enough

When we are busy and over-

which is why time management
becomes an important part of dealing with those negative emotions.

Determine how
you spend your
day – Do you
know where
your time goes?
Make a list of
everything you
do during the
day. Include time
spent talking on
the phone, opening mail, running
errands, commuting and making
dinner. This will help you figure out
how much time you give to important and not so important tasks.
Prioritize responsibilities – Create
a to do list and rank those tasks in
order of importance. If jobs seem
too large, break them down into
smaller ones and rank those. Don’t
be discouraged if you can’t complete your whole list. Even if you
get just the important jobs done,
you’ve done a lot!
n
Time Managem e
Use down time effectively –
If you think you’ll be sitting
in a doctor’s waiting room for
a while bring something to do.
This may be a good time to pay
bills or create your list of things to
do. Or, if you enjoy reading, bring
the novel you haven’t had a chance
to finish.
t
Take care of
routine things
first – Get
everyday tasks
out of the
way. Then you
can concentrate on more
stressful or
time-consuming responsibilities that lie
ahead.
Delegate
work – If the
task at hand
is something
someone else
can help you
complete, give it away! At home,
ask your children to vacuum or do
the dishes. At work, split projects
with co-workers, an assistant or
interns, if appropriate.
Always plan time for yourself –
Don’t skimp on sleep. Getting
enough shut-eye can make you
more alert and productive throughout the day. And whether it’s
taking a long awaited bubble bath,
shooting some hoops or spending
alone time with a loved one, always
leave space in your day to do something you enjoy.

inner goddess
release your
through bellydancing
For fans of the Fifty Shades of Gray trilogy the term “inner goddess”
is a familiar one. Throughout the erotic romance novels, college
graduate Anastasia Steele often wishes she had the
uninhibited and confident nature of her hidden
psyche.
But you don’t have to wait for a handsome billionaire to unleash
your creative and emotional freedom – just sign up for Kim Baze’s
belly dancing class.
“You cannot walk away and not feel empowered,” Kim boldly
states. The 37-year-old’s approach to teaching this traditional
Middle Eastern dance is to create an atmosphere where women feel
safe, positive and focused. “When they come here they are not a
wife or a mother, they are just a woman. It’s all about them, and
women seem to forget that. They forget how to be just a woman. I
want them to understand that this is a safe haven.”
While Kim may paint a picture of serenity, participants will certainly
work up a sweat during the hour they spend in the class. Kim
describes the routines she teaches as an excellent cardio workout
that targets core muscles, thighs, hips and butts.
It will also help you lose weight – one 62-year-old attendee has lost
30 pounds since joining six months ago – reduce stress and build
confidence, added Kim, who began teaching belly dancing about
seven years ago.
fast facts
Belly dancing can burn up to 300
to 400 calories per hour.
39
For those worried about having to expose their wobbly bits in a
scant costume, rest assured T-shirts and leggings, or whatever
makes you feel comfortable, are the norm. Students, however, do
get to wear a traditional coin belt, which Kim says adds fun and
sexiness as they shimmy to the lively accompanying music.
It is a weight bearing exercise,
which can prevent osteoporosis
and strengthen bones.
“Belly dancing helps mind, body and spirit,” she said.
It is a low impact exercise and can
be enjoyed by any age group.
Instructor Kim Baze holds a one-hour class at
6 p.m. every Tuesday at Au Naturale Health & Wellness Center,
1967 Frontage Road in Sierra Vista. Classes are $10 each.

PLANNING
for now,
for the future
If there were only two words financial advisor Gina
Lane could impart to young couples and families,
they would be “just start”.
“Just start saving, no matter how much you can
afford,” she stresses.
Retirement may be a long way off, but
planning later rather than sooner could
have dire consequences if you want to
live your twilight years in comfort.
And what about those college fees for
the kids? Paying the mortgage when a
disability strikes, or the loss of a partner?
Banking on a lottery win just isn’t going
to cut it.
Gina’s advice? Start now!
“If a young couple goes out for dinner three or four
times a month they probably spend $30 to $50
each time. Or they’re stopping off at Starbucks
every morning. It’s easy for all of that to add up.
Figure out your budget, pay any debt first and instead of eating out three times a month, save $50
and invest it,” she said.
RON RUDNICK
Every couple or family should have three savings
goals:
Now – Short term expenses, such as a car down
payment or vacation.
Later – Long term goals for retirement, such as a
401k plan or IRA.
JASON COLE
Never – Savings you need but hope you never have
to use, like life and long term care insurance.
25 EL CAMINO REAL
Couples planning to have children should also
start a college fund even before junior has arrived,
recommends Gina.

“It’s shocking how many families don’t do this.
When you plan a family, plan an education fund.
Just start with $25 a month and do it by direct

she said.

When it comes to investing for the future Gina has the following tips:
•Know your risk tolerance.
•Understand your investments.
•Stay the course.
•Rebalance, if needed.
A financial advisor will work with you
to assess where you would like to invest
your money and if you don’t understand
where your funds are or how they are
working, make sure you ask, Gina said.
The ups and downs of the market can
also cause jitters, but history shows
leaving your money where it is, is usually the best policy, she adds.
It does not hurt, however, to assess your
investments regularly and work with
your advisor on any required changes.
Finally, no matter how much or little
you earn, Gina believes there is always
room to start saving. Her golden rule, is
not to put it off.

“If you can put just 3 to 5 percent of
your salary, or just $10 a month, it’s a
start. But try and shoot for $25,” she
said. “And when you get a pay raise, put
it away – pay your future.”

Self-confessed child

quickly learned
tidiness leads to
a healthier and
happier lifestyle.
Having moved
a whopping 23
times in her 29
years, Marie has mastered the art
of efficient packing and knows the
value of “less is more”. She has
turned this talent into a professional
organizing business, Lighthouse
Concierge Services.
But Marie, a qualified nurse, starts
with clearing the clutter of the
mind, before tackling the home. “I
get clients to acknowledge their feelings and ask themselves why they
are having this problem,” she said.
“Often they are neglecting themselves as well. Their self-image is
low and they don’t feel in control.”

Those who contact Marie, a member
of the National Association of Professional Organizers, are unhappy
with how their homes look and
think if their houses are tidy, their
problems will be solved.
But she believes contentment comes
through fixing the internal issues
first. “A lot of people hold on to his-
tory,” she said. “Control, fear and
decisions are usually what it comes
down to. “There are savers and collectors. There are those who hang
on to stuff ‘just in case’, bargain
shoppers, or people who won’t let
go of something because it was a
high value item. Some just get overwhelmed and don’t know where to
start or others don’t have the time.”
It’s only after assessing all of this
– and in some cases recommending
therapy – that Marie then pulls up
her sleeves and begins helping her
clients clear the physical clutter.
For those who want to get to grips
with the mess without the guidance
of a professional organizer, Marie
has the following tips:
Evaluate the situation then choose
your priorities – no more than three.
Is it the kitchen, the office, the
laundry room? Don’t try and do the
whole house in one go.

The National Association of Professional
Organizers offers these easy tips to help
streamline the clutter and manage your
time:
Calculate your goals and what action
steps are needed.
Start with something small, like the
make-up drawer. Pull everything out and
sort into three piles – keep, discard and
maybe. Put the keeps away then get rid
of the discards. Go back to the maybes
one by one and decide if you really need
it. If you already have three of the same
item in the same color, then you probably
don’t need to keep it.
If money is tight, look at what you already have that could be used as storage
in the home. Have a friend who does not
have an emotional attachment to your belongings come over and make suggestions
about how to reorganize or repurpose.
Thrift stores are also great places to find
cheap storage items.
When it comes to keeping the children’s
rooms in order, set boundaries and stick
to them. Explain why a tidy environment
is important and give them consequences
if they don’t stick to it. They will revert
to their untidy ways if they are allowed
to.
Closets – Sort your closet so the clothes
you wear most often are within easy
reach. Group like with like to help you
find things easily.
Paying bills – Set up a bill-paying center.
Keep your checkbook, stamps, labels and
envelopes in the same location.
“
a lot of
people
hold on to
history
“
If you have an item you are not going
to display, but you want to keep it, ask
yourself if you have the space for it. Is
it becoming an emotional issue? Bring it
out, look at it and if you haven’t used it
in six to 12 months, get rid of it.
Cleaning – Break the job into segments:
Saturday is bathroom, Monday is
kitchen, Tuesday is laundry, Wednesday
is vacuum, Thursday is dusting and on
Friday clean the floor.
Desk – Keep your desktop clear of anything you don’t use every day. Stow these
things on a shelf within arm’s reach or in
an easy access drawer.
Kid’s Clutter – Put a wicker basket for
toys by the stairs or in the living room.
At the end of the day take the basket
upstairs or to your kids’ room and put
everything back in its place.

defining moment
taking off
100
pounds
one
pound
at a time
the beginning
In 2010, I
weighed about
228 pounds,
which was too
much for a
person of 5 ft.
4 inches. I was
watching a body building show at
Buena High School and made a commitment that day to start training, dieting
and to be on that stage competing the
following year.
Proudest achievement
I lost 100 pounds, entered the competition and took first place.
Past experiences
My mother didn’t cook healthy meals
because she didn’t know any better.
When I moved out I lived mainly on
fast food. I had three kids by the time
I was 21, I weighed 260 pounds at my
heaviest and I was exhausted.
Moving forward
I set myself attainable goals. I never
imagined I could lose 100 pounds,
but I told myself I could lose 10. Then
when I lost 10, I aimed for 10 more,
then 10 more. I joined the gym and
worked out once a day.
Attaining success
I had to play with my diet. I started
reading books, eating more vegetables,
eating cleanly and drinking more
water. I ate low glycemic carbs, grilled
or boiled chicken and fish, yams and
brown rice.
Overcoming obstacles
It’s expensive to train for a body
building competition and I have three
kids to take care of. I work two jobs
as a nighttime caregiver for an elderly
man and a pre-school teacher at Fort
Huachuca. I probably get about two to
three hours sleep every day, but I’m
used to it.
Staying Motivated
Seeing the changes in my body kept
me going. I just knew I had this muscle
inside of me and I pictured myself on
that stage.
Future goals
I plan to enter one competition a year.
You can’t keep this extreme dieting and
training going permanently, so I allow
myself to put on about 30 pounds then
I take it off again for a competition.
I’m about 165 pounds right now.
Words of inspiration
Kendra Rivera
Set small goals and follow through.
You can have a big picture, but break
it down into small pieces to reach it.
