OUR VIEWS

It is our position that couples should have an open dialog about finances before purchasing an engagement ring. The holiday season is here sending men down on one knee to pop the proverbial question to their unsuspecting betrothed: “Will you marry me?” In this day and age, the pressure to purchase the ring of dreams is far outweighing the anxiety of asking the question. Women once judged a man by the size of his cornfield. Now, a man’s proposal of marriage is often judged by the number of carats he is able to purchase in a diamond ring. Is it fair to put your fiancée in debt by demanding a two carat ring just to keep up with the Jonses? Or is a large engagement ring considered an entitlement or bragging rights by both parties? The newest fad, the mangagement ring, is now sending the ladies to jewelry stores. Has engagement ring shopping become an expensive indulgence leading to financial drains on the couple? It just seems like all the pomp and circumstance of weddings is overshadowing the whole idea of the concept of commitment. Is a girl’s best friend the diamond or her fiancée?

Thanksgiving

It is our opinion that we should all carefully reflect this holiday season to reach further into our hearts seeking to realize the true purpose and meaning of our celebrations. As Thanksgiving approaches and we meticulously plan our seating arrangements, menus and decorations, it’s important to reserve time for thought about the things for which we truly are grateful, as well as the many things for which we should but take for granted. Family and friends are our richest resource, especially in difficult times when our other possessions may dwindle or disappoint. The holidays put us in close quarters. Perhaps we should use that time to strengthen our connection to those around us. Maybe we could try a little harder to have more meaningful conversations, beyond football scores and political commentary. Maybe we could institute an electronics-free zone at the Thanksgiving table, if not for the entire day. Maybe we could look each other in the eye when speaking and listen carefully after asking “how are things with you?” Whether sharing your special days with familiar faces or strangers working together to feed and celebrate with those less fortunate, let’s remember, this season, to make heartfelt, human connections. Happy Thanksgiving!

FROM THE BACKSHOP ’Tis the season, and we’re here to help We understand you haven’t even begun to contemplate the indigestion that comes with gorging at Thanksgiving dinner (You do overindulge, don’t you?), but the holiday season all but is officially in full swing. Discounting the Christmas displays we’ve seen in some stores since the Indianapolis Colts were only 0-2, the season now is at hand. With Black Friday bearing down on us, it is with great pleasure that we present to you our annual holiday gift guide inside today’s newspaper. Our art director, Zach Ross; our staff artist, Andrea Nickas; and our managing editors, Robert Herrington (Current in Noblesville), Jordan Fischer (Fishers), Kevin Kane (Carmel) and Lindsay Eckert (Westfield) have assembled what we sincerely hope will prove to be an assist to you as you plan activities and shopping excursions. As always, we urge you to please consider patronizing our local and loyal advertisers; you will be helping them as well as lending a hand in improving local economy. For now, though, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from us and ours – and please pass the Rolaids. ••• Here’s a shocker: The U.S. Postal Service ended its 2011 fiscal year on Sept. 30 with

a net loss of $5.1 billion. Use of the service is in decline, down 5.8 percent for first-class mail alone in the reporting period. Had Congress not stepped in and halted a $5.5 billion payment to pre-fund retiree health benefits, it would have been much worse. Staring bankruptcy between the eyes, it will take an “act of Congress” to cut annual costs by $20 billion by 2015. As would the private sector, the USPS needs to streamline operations, and the union needs to understand that there are no tax dollars to float the boat. Horrible stewardship has led to this debacle. There needs to be a new model, regardless of rain or sleet or snow. It can be fixed.

slop. Impeding or destroying the labor of others is not part of the package. Tagging the Kemblazoned, spoiled, California Kardashians with graffiti seems more criminal that intellectual. So, I wonder as countless protestors parade pointlessly, how many hours of community service and productive time are being frittered away. How many shelters could be built with this young, virile labor? How many meals could be served? How many unnecessary illegal immigrants could be expelled? I was raised to believe that if one intends to receive, one must be willing to give. Intimidation, threats and destruction seem less like a protest and more like the mindless and bloodthirsty acts of a mob. Is it possible that folks at the famed Boston Tea Party demanded free breadsticks or promised destruction to Ye Olde Pizza Hut? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

To receive, one must first give Commentary By Terry Anker Shakespeare may have been wrong. Perhaps the question is not “to be or not to be.” It seems more common that we ask “to take or to give — who does which.” History is littered with the bodies of those caught in the inevitable ebb and flow of power and money. Capitalism wanes even as communism rises. Freedom flees as socialism sets up shop. And most assuredly, the inverse is equally true. While my own intellectual journey seems to be leading to a greater faith in the individual and free markets, others find that a well-managed collective state would better serve this planet’s everexpanding population. Like many, I will enter the fray with pen and toil to share whatever meager insight I’ve garnered from years of reading, working, thinking and living. And I most earnestly encourage others to do the same. Yet my protests have been confined to a more limited scope. The Kardashian Klan is deleted from my purchasing and viewing repertoire and we often eat local food rather than imported

Thankfulness nothing to pooh-pooh COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I’ve been a little bummed out by my Thanksgiving plans this year. As it turns out, Doo and I and the kids will be spending the holiday alone in our house, sans potentially combustible family members. I am saddened by this—because who doesn’t love an aunt hurling in the turkey or a nephew pooing on the hardwoods? But, I realize I still have much to be thankful for. Here’s my list: Employment: I am so thankful that both my husband and I still have work. We know several people who have been hit hard by this recession, and though we, too, have faced cutbacks, we’re faring better than most. So a giant thank you to our employers for keeping us close to the lifestyle to which we’d become accustomed. Good news: I just found out one of my sisters is having twins! Besides laughing at her behind her back (misery LOVES company), I’ve been thanking the Fates for the timing of this announcement. With job stress at an all-time high, hearing such amazing news has really made a difference in my attitude this week. Go multiple births! Health: The only illness I’m certain my children have contracted so far is the “FU virus.” Seriously, with the exception of one ear infection and possible food poisoning from an undisclosed north side buffet, our household has remained quite healthy. Thank you, Baby Jesus! Craigslist: With Christmas looming and the Present Fund low, Craigslist has been a lifesaver.

Local people are selling everything from aluminum foil to zoo tickets. It’s convenient, cheap and just as fun as eBay, without the meth-like bidding addiction. Thank you, Craig, whoever you are, for making my holiday shopping a bit less painful. Family: I am truly thankful for my family in-law. I’m not kidding when I say that my closest friends are my husband’s siblings and their spouses, and that my mother- and father-in-law are the best surrogate parents a liberal daywalker from Kentucky could have, despite their conservative Republican views. They like me, they really do! Thank you, Powers That Be, for legally binding me to an amazing family. Readers: As a sometimes mommy-on-the-edge, I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have such a wonderful (and drug-free) outlet for my day-today frustrations, triumphs, fears and dreams. And that’s only because I have you reading my articles every week and occasionally expressing to the Current editors both your support and disgust. So thank you, good people of Noblesville, for allowing me to share my crazy life with you. I wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving, and plenty of memorable, nonfeces-related moments. Peace out.

NFD seeks donations for annual Christmas food and toy drive 79711_4204_IUHSAX_10.375x2.75_4c_CIF_Increasing.indd 1

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Fire Department is currently accepting donations for its annual food and toy drive to benefit 120 less fortunate families in Noblesville. The fire department will be accepting canned goods, non-perishable food items, monetary donations (checks are preferred— made payable to the Noblesville Fire Department Legacy Fund), and new, unwrapped toys until Dec. 7. Donations may be dropped off at any of the Noblesville Fire Stations or at Noblesville City Hall. Deliveries to the families will take place on Dec. 10. Noblesville Fire Chief Jeff Reveal put together the first Christmas Food and Toy Drive sponsored by the fire department in 1997. At that time, Reveal and the firefighters helped 30 families in the community. “Chief Reveal and others within our commuRussell nity knew that there was no greater joy, nor greater reward, than to make a fundamental difference in a family’s life. Therefore, the first campaign was put together at that time, in an effort to help families create wonderful Christmas memories,” said Division Chief Rick Russell, this year’s event coordinator. “Please remember, we help the families, a very small part. We want everyone to understand that Christmas is not about the fire department, rather, celebrating the birth of Christ and sharing the spirit of Christmas with family and friends.” Since that time the toy and food drive has continued to grow and become a huge event within the department. “It has become so big that we need to relocate some of our fire apparatus to other NFD stations so we have room at the downtown fire station to store goods and organize the event,” said Russell. “So as you can imagine, there is

some disruption to the everyday duties, but all the employees at the fire department have come to understand the importance of the event and that the Noblesville Fire Department takes great pride in helping the families within the great City of Noblesville.” Russell said the families—totaling approximately 500 individuals within Noblesville—on the NFD list are provided by the Good Samaritans Network and the Noblesville Trustee Office. “Nancy Chance and Noblesville Township Trustee Bill Caldwell are great supporters of the fire department efforts,” he said. “Ninetynine percent of our list is Noblesville residents. We have helped a few other individuals within Hamilton County, but I can assure you that all your efforts to support the Christmas Food and Toy Drive stay in our community. If we have any food or toys left over, or donated after our campaign has completed, we donate those items to local food banks in Noblesville.” The Fire Department wishes to thank the outstanding businesses and individuals in the community who have given generously to the food and toy drive campaign each year. Without your generosity, many families and children would go without during the holiday season. For more information, contact the Noblesville Fire Department at 776-6336, ext. 1400.

Betty Lou Kyle returns to the Belfry stage for 45th production By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Friday’s premiere of “The Perfume Shop” marks Betty Lou Kyle’s 45th Hamilton County Theatre Guild production in the past five decades. The actress-turned-director is returning to the Belfry Theatre stage this weekend after a six-year absence. “I wanted to stay involved in something—not just play cards,” Kyle said, with a chuckle, about her return. Kyle first saw “The Perfume Shop” in Sarasota, Fla., where her granddaughter, McKenzie, performed in a production. “There are a lot of characters I thought people would like,” she said. “Its comedy, its pathos; it is a Christmas play. . . I think it will be happy and uplifting.” With the different characters, Kyle said the cast has the opportunity to be creative in their roles. “I think the cast is wonderful,” she said. “This is one of the finest casts I’ve ever had had. They are hard working and are very talented.” Jeff Bick is serving as Kyle’s assistant director for “The Perfume Shop.” While Bick modestly calls himself a newer member of the Belfry organization, he knows the theater’s history, and said Kyle’s return to directing is “a huge deal for the Belfry.” “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for her. (John Kyle) was a very talented actor, and she is a spectacular director,” he said. “There are people coming out of the woodwork to make sure they help Betty with the show.” Wanting to direct his own show, Bick said learning from Kyle is invaluable. “She just has so much knowledge. She understands how things work and should look,” he said. “This is a great opportunity for me and very exciting.” Kyle’s love for the stage started at a young age. As a little girl in kindergarten, the high school teacher came to her classroom looking for students to act in the background of a scene.

Betty Lou Kyle talks with cast prior to a rehersal.

“They wanted us to do something you would do at a picnic. I chose to jump rope, and I practiced forever. During the performance I just keep jumping rope—they had to pull the curtain,” she recalled with a smile. “I thought it was so fun.” Kyle studied drama at Indiana University,

play and threw $5 on the coffee table.” “Ah, Wilderness!” by Eugene O’Neil was their first production. “We were so excited watching people come in,” said Kyle. “There were 500 people—a full house at the high school—so we knew we had an interest.” Theater was a family affair from that moment on—Kyle’s daughter Amy was in a show once with her—as the Kyles acted in plays throughout their marriage. “John even tied me to the railroad tracks in the play ‘10 Nights in a Bar Room,’” said Kyle. “He was a very, very, very wonderful actor.” To say Kyle is a living legend among Noblesville’s theater community would be an understatement. She and her husband were two of the eight founding members of the Belfry Theatre. Her first local play, “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” was presented in the 1960s in the O.V. Winks building at the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds. During the 1970s, Kyle started the Apprentice Players—a summer children’s production. “I like watching them have fun. They love to be onstage,” she said. Over the years, Kyle has seen the growth of the Hamilton County Theatre Guild and the purchase of the Belfry Theatre, 10690 Greenfield Ave., Noblesville. “I’m surprised we lasted this long—I’m surprised I’ve lasted this long,” Kyle joked. “I love the Belfry. It’s just a joy to come out here. I think the Belfry has a very warm, family atmosphere. We don’t have any divas. It’s just a family.” Looking back on her illustrious career, Kyle said she loved being involved in “Driving Miss Daisy” and “Born Yesterday” and has no regrets for not acting in any Belfry Theatre productions. “I’ve done enough,” she said. “Acting is more fun but directing is more rewarding. It’s really great to choose a play, get the cast, rehearse… and then you stand back, and it’s so amazing to see what you’ve done.”

Gehlhausen named Meals on Wheels interim director

79811_4204_IUHSAX_10.375x2.75_4c_CIF_Decreasing.indd 1

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Beth Gehlhausen has been appointed interim executive director of Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County. She will succeed Marti Lindell as head of the nonGehlhausen profit which has been delivering hot, nutritious meals for 36 years to the doors of county residents who cannot prepare food on their own due to age, illness or disability. Lindell resigned in September after five years at the helm of the organization. “Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County is on the cusp of change and growth in serving those who need a little help in staying self-sufficient in their own home,” Gehlhausen added. “I am honored to have been selected to take part in

Super 8 is a childhood throwback

Friday, December 9 7:30 PM

DVDs By Chris Lloyd Director J. J. Abrams self-consciously channels Steven Spielberg in “Super 8,” an ode to Gen-X childhood and 1970s filmmaking built around a sense of wonderment. It’s the story of a group of boys in small-town 1979 Ohio, who are shooting an amateur zombie movie when a real-life disaster descends upon their community. The plot is fairly predictable—if you haven’t figured out what the threat is by the time the military starts invading with soldiers, you must’ve been asleep. But Abrams, who also penned the screenplay, manages to convincingly evoke a specific time and place of his own imagining. Here, 13-year-olds talk and act exactly like real preteens do, not the glossy, whitewashed versions we’re used to in mainstream films. Joe

(Joel Courtney), the shy kid who does the special effects make-up, is the main character, but brash Charles (Riley Griffiths), the director of the picture-within-a-picture, calls the shots. He’s obsessed with putting “production value” into their flicks, and comes up with the idea of casting a girl (a girl!) in their movie. Thus enters Alice, the rebellious gal at school, played by Elle Fanning in a game-changing performance. What it lacks in originality, “Super 8” makes up for with spunk and genuine heart.

Thanksgiving week tailgate party with Turkey Soup It’s two days after Thanksgiving, and you are going to be having a cold/cool weather tailgate. Don’t go out and buy a lot of stuff. Use the Thanksgiving turkey to provide a warm and hearty tailgate treat. Then serve the last of the pumpkin pie for dessert. Making Stock. 1. Remove all the usable turkey meat from the turkey carcass. 2. Break up the larger leftover bones of the carcass so they don’t take up as much room in the pot. Put the leftover bones and skin into a large stock pot and cover by an inch with cold water. Add a yellow onion that has been quartered, some chopped carrots, parsley, thyme, a bay leaf, celery tops, and some peppercorns. 3. Bring this stock to a boil and immediately reduce heat to bring the liquid to a bare simmer. 4. Add about 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of pepper. It depends on how big your turkey is. 5. Cook for at least 4 hours, uncovered or partially uncovered (so the stock reduces), occasionally skimming off any foam from the surface. 6. Remove the bones and veggies and strain the stock through a very fine mesh strainer. Making the Turkey Soup. With your stock already made, add chopped carrots, onions, and celery in equal parts. Add some parsley and a couple cloves of garlic. Add seasoning—poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouillon

Sometimes a dash or two of Frank’s Cayenne Pepper Sauce gives the soup a nice little kick. Cool this soup overnight in the fridge or in a pot outside if the temperature is cold enough. Game Day. The morning of the game, you should spoon off any fat from the top of the soup pot before heating. Boil a large bag (16 oz.) of wagon wheel noodles (al dente). Heat the soup. After the soup is hot add the cooked noodles. Pack the soup pot in a cooler surrounded by towels and newspaper. Serve with chunks from a long baguette for dipping.

Parenting Time During the Holidays The holiday season can be a difficult time if you are going through or just recently divorced. This is especially true for young children. Therefore, we have provided some considerations to keep in mind as the holiday season approaches. Develop a Parenting Schedule. The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provides holiday parenting time schedules. However, we understand that those schedules are “guidelines” and do not necessarily work best for every family. While you may want to consider the schedules provided in the Guidelines, making your own schedule better fits your family. Stick to whatever schedule you agree upon and be courteous and timely dropping off and picking up the children – understanding that each moment with both families is precious for them and that scheduling delays can result in larger conflicts between parents. Consider Family Traditions. Holiday traditions are one thing children can look forward to even during difficult times. If your family has holiday traditions, make every effort to continue them. If the divorce or separation is recent and you believe it may be difficult on the children, consider a vacation or begin a new and fun family tradition that the children can get excited about. For example, if, historically, your family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve and the other parent’s family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Day, you should create a schedule that allows the children to participate and enjoy both families’ traditions each and every year. Sometimes, if the holiday traditions are identical, it may make sense to alternate holidays on a yearly basis rather than break-up each holiday into equal parts. This way, the children are able to participate in both homes even if the celebrations are on different days. Alternating holidays on an annual basis can also create more relaxing family holiday experiences as opposed to the stress involved with coordinating schedules.

Communicate. If the children are not with you for the holidays, call them, send cards and/or emails. Consider creating your own family celebration either before or after the actual holiday. Children love celebrations and gifts, regardless of the day and time. Conversely, if the children are spending the holiday with you, you should encourage and allow them to speak with the other parent. If the children are too young to call on their own, help them make or receive a call, and always give the children and the other parent a quiet moment together. Put the Children First. No matter how challenging your relationship is with your children’s father/mother, please remember that he/she is the parent of your children and, therefore, you should make every effort to respect the co-parenting relationship, striving to keep your children’s best interests as your top priority. Coordinate gift-giving. Ask the other what he/she plans on giving the children, and share your plans with the other parent. Help your children make a holiday card or purchase a gift for them to give the other parent. Offer to take your children shopping to buy presents for the other parent. For young children especially, holidays are exciting times and they want to give as much as they want to receive. Put personal feelings aside, knowing that building healthy and positive relationships between parents creates a winning situation for the entire family. Remember that the other parent will be in your life long after the children are grown, so the more you are able to effectively communicate and co-parent, the easier the transition will be on you and your children. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.569.2200 or hzlegal.com

In the study, participants who took 10 or more medications were 1.6 times more likely to have erectile dysfunction compared with those who took fewer than two medications. The results held even after the researchers took into account other factors that may increase the risk of ED, including older age, a higher body mass index, diabetes and a history of smoking. -www.livescience.com

» Simple cold prevention? - Research has confirmed that “catching” colds and flu may actually be a symptom of an underlying vitamin D deficiency, which impairs your immune response. In the largest and most nationally representative study of its kind to date, involving about 19,000 Americans, people with the lowest vitamin D levels reported having significantly more recent colds or cases of the flu. At least five additional studies also show an inverse association between lower respiratory tract infections and vitamin D levels. -www.mercola.com

The company also continues to make student loans not in-

sured by the government. Shares are up about 36 percent since the legislation went into effect. President Obama recently unveiled additional plans affecting student loan payments, but analysts may be overstating the new plan’s risk to Sallie Mae, according to analyst Michael Taiano of Sandler O’Neill. -www.money.msn.com » Volunteer deductions – Volunteers may qualify for deductions. For example, if you work as a receptionist for a qualified organization, you can’t deduct the value of your time or services, but you can deduct the costs of gas and oil used in transportation. The standard mileage rate is $0.14 per mile for tax year 2011. You also can deduct any required uniforms and the costs to clean them, if the clothes aren’t suitable for everyday use and are required for your volunteer session. -www.foxbusiness.com » Overrated remodel – The standard home office renovation — complete with plenty of built-in storage and high-tech wiring — is this year’s biggest loser in the resale value sweepstakes, according to a recent report.

There’s SNOW place

like Home.

While the rest of the Indianapolis area will be stuck inside and constrained by the various ice and snow storms coming this winter, we’ll be living it up at The Stratford!

At The Stratford we don’t have to go outside to get to our grand dining room for a delicious, hot meal. We don’t have to drive anywhere to pick out a good read from our library. No one has to hit the sidewalk to travel to the wellness center for some exercise (ours is just down the hall in the clubhouse). We don’t even have to clean up after our parties because the amazing staff here does it for us. In short, while the rest of the area is digging out—we‘ll be living it up! This could be you this winter, so call 317-733-9560 now and ask our Lifestyle Advisors about the benefits of living at The Stratford. By the first snow of this year—you’ll be glad you did!

Why is my homeowner’s insurance more expensive? INSURANCE Q&A By Dena Shepherd Page Question from Patrick H. from Carmel: I saw an article that said my homeowners insurance is probably going up. What’s the deal? Response from Dena Shepherd Page: It’s been a rough couple of years for insurance carriers if you’re talking about homeowners insurance. The cost of a homeowners policy is on the rise across the country. We’re here to help you understand why those rates are going up and what you can do to avoid or offset those costs. I’ll start off with why this is happening. The answer is that we’ve had a sustained rough patch when it comes to natural disasters and weather. Losses exceeded $15 billion from April to June of this year alone. These are the highest losses on record for the second quarter. Let’s recap what has happened: Hurricane Irene ran up the east coast; wind and hail caused more than 20,000 severe weather reports; tornadoes tore across Missouri and Alabama; wildfires blazed all summer in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico; ice and snow from Texas to New England; multiple earthquakes with the most significant in Virginia. These losses also have put a strain on the construction and materials industries, driving up repair costs. This has led to the repair cost of some homes to exceed their market value.

Hare Chevrolet is a proud sponsor of the

Teacher of the Month

So what’s the plan? First, it is often recommend that you place your insurance with an independent insurance agent. Independent insurance agents represent a variety of carriers (a carrier would be Travelers, Hartford, Erie, Central, etc.) and can get you multiple quotes to find the best fit for you. There also are a couple of ways to offset a cost increase if you get hit with one, such as: 1. Increasing your deductibles exposes you to a little bit more if you have a loss, but can lower your premiums. 2. Policy bundling is a great way to lower your insurance costs, if you don’t have your homeowners and auto insurance with the same carrier. 3. Some carriers give loyalty and/or experience credits. Stay with the same carrier for multiple years and these credits can be added. Loss prevention can also get you some bonus credits. Call your agent and see if adding a burglar and/or fire alarm to your home would qualify you for additional savings. Dena Shepherd Page is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

Preventing project privations: Prepare! COMMENTARY By David Decker Privation (n): lack of the usual comforts or necessities of life. Even the most exciting custom home improvement project likely includes the discomforting expectation of strangers intruding and the disruption of household routine. Don’t despair, prepare! Detailed planning and accurate daily communication go a long way toward minimizing the intrusiveness of a project. Nonetheless, dealing with the absence of a kitchen or a reduction of available bathrooms requires advance strategic thinking. Since the work on every custom project is different, working around the intrusions on every project is also different. A couple of basics always apply. Home improvement professionals have to understand we are working in the most intimate areas of the home, and homeowners have to understand that multifunction construction projects are a fertile breeding ground for unexpected challenges. We develop a master plan with a start-to-finish project work and delivery schedule, backed up by daily (or in some cases, as-needed) communication updates. Before a major kitchen project, we will help the homeowner set up a temporary food prep area (possibly a microwave, refrigerator, hot plate and food storage near a water source). If the flooring/drying phase of

a project will temporarily block access, for example, to a master bathroom or wardrobe closet, we will communicate in time for the homeowner to prepare for the inconvenience. Yes, I’ll admit, we love it when a customer leaves on vacation or moves out during the project so we can work longer hours and get more done without disturbing anyone. Proper planning and communication minimizes the need for the customer to be on-site or on-call to handle spot decisions and questions. Unless the customer knows us from past work, they are typically leery of this, but thorough attention to upfront detail provides comfort quickly. The whole goal is to provide a great finished project with minimal intrusion. Instead of having to “do without,” it’s perfectly possible, and even probable, for a homeowner to comfortably “make do.” David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies which includes Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and most recently “Affordable Custom Flooring” based in Carmel (317-5959540, www.the-affordablecompanies. com).

Make your mind matter Relationships By Kristen Boice There are several human needs such as being noticed and loved, feeling like you matter and being validated for who you are. Without these, we don’t feel like we matter. When growing up, did you feel heard and validated for who you were, or did you feel like you had to be someone else? I like to use the metaphor of a house. We can work on improvements on the first and second floors. However, if there is a crack in the foundation, we are not really working on the most important areas to fix the root problems. We need to explore the past to create understanding for how we feel today. There are a few key questions to start looking at your foundation and exploring the root causes of your feelings. How would you describe what it was like as a child growing up in your family? Did you have any traumatic events? If so, what were they, how old were you and how did they affect you? It can be extremely powerful to keep a journal and use it to go deeper within yourself. The below steps can be helpful to begin working on your foundation and begin experiencing more joy in your life.

20 | November 22, 2011

1. Make a list of people (pets can also be on your list) who truly care about you and accept you for who you are. Stop for a moment and really connect to how much they love you. 2. Look at the parts of yourself you like and continue evolving and growing. 3. Write down five things you are grateful for daily. 4. Reach out to others and tell them how much they matter to you. Stop texting and start talking. Really listen and be in tune with someone else. This can change your life and theirs! 5. When you go to the grocery store or run your errands, even in your car, make eye contact and smile at someone or say, “Hello.” Notice them and see how it feels to be in tune with others. Making peace with your past, leads to a more peaceful present.

The Holidays are coming! Call now to schedule your Holiday lighting!
