A Taste of Honey o

“In these times of upheaval, gaining tools for living powerfully helps us to ride the waves of change, and chart our course for the future,” says open-lesbian Honey Ward, who has been empowering thousands of people for decades in her work as a seminar leader, life coach, and activist. I first met Honey in April of 1988 when I participated in “The Experience,” a three-day workshop “that supports you to live more powerfully and provides tools and insights to create the life you choose.” “Wherever you are in life right now, whether that feels dark and challenging, bland and boring, or exciting and loving, there is more for you to be, to do, and to have. There is more for you to give to the world, and the world wants what you have to offer,” stated Honey. “Sharing your gifts, from a place of wholeness and integrity, is one of the most gratifying experiences you can have.” As Honey explained, “’The Experience’ was created in 1978 by the late David B. Goodstein, who owned The Advocate magazine, and Rob Eichberg, Ph.D., author of “Coming Out: An Act of Love” and cofounder of National Coming Out Day. They knew that full opportunity and inclusion for the gay community would come only when we love ourselves enough to come out, respect ourselves and our relationships, participate fully in business and social life, and proudly make a difference.” “I first learned of ‘The Experience’ at a meeting of the Gay Rights Chapter of the ACLU in Los Angeles, on whose board I served at the time,” shared Honey. “I attended some intro events and noticed that the people involved with ‘The Experience’ seemed to have something going for them, something intangible, energetic, that I didn’t experience in my own life at that time. Naturally, I was intrigued, and signed right up.” “That weekend was truly transformational for me,” continued Honey. “I settled more into my own skin, with regard to sexual orientation, relationships, expanding consciousness, you name it. I emerged from that weekend a different person in many ways, and that value remains with me to this day, over three decades later.” Honey continued, “I find people to be more spiritually connected and conscious these days. The starting point for participation is at

a higher level than it was 30 years ago. We also have a lot more straight people in the workshops, which I like. Living powerfully is a universal theme, and I really appreciate having more variety in each course.” “Coming out about sexual orientation (or gender identity) isn’t as big an issue overall as it once was, however, for the individuals who struggle, it is a number one issue,” Honey elaborated. “Coming out has always been a metaphor for living powerfully and telling the truth. It is truly a universal concept that applies to everyone. “I am so grateful to have experienced and worked with such a wonderful variety of people. They have helped me know how limited my own perspective can be, how much commonality there is among us, how I must constantly be enhancing my own cultural competence, and how much there is for me to learn, even as I teach,” she added. As for her role models, Honey stressed, “I respect so many people who have taken a stand for a better, more inclusive world, and dedicate themselves to its achievement every day. There are well-known figures that fit into this category, and fame is not a requirement. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. is certainly one of those figures. As Rev. King said, ‘Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve.’ If each of us simply looks in our hearts, and lives proactively and with vision, we will be active participants in creating the bright new world we envision.” “’The Experience’ can help you transform your life so you live in that natural flow of energy, giving and receiving with abundance,” Honey concluded. “If each of us simply looks in our hearts, and lives proactively with vision, we will be active participants in creating the bright new world we envision.” People in and around ‘The Experience’ often say, “Acknowledge the source of your power!” Just one reason I love offering a taste of Honey now and then.

travel By Paul Rubio The Fabulous Fontainebleau Miami Beach From Golden Age to Modern Day

Part Vegas. Part Miami. All fabulous. The re-launch of the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach has forever changed the landscape of Miami Beach. After a whopping billion dollars in upgrades and additions, the 22-acre, 1504-room oceanfront mega hotel stands as a self-contained world of hotel indulgence, great shopping, exceptional dining, wild partying, and beachside relaxation and frivolity. Though the hotel’s reinvention has brought it back into the spotlight as one of Miami’s hottest hotels, the Fontainebleau Miami Beach has a long history of being Miami Beach’s “it” hotel. In fact, the mystique of Fontainebleau Miami Beach has hypnotized the world since the art deco movement reached its peak in the subtropics in the 1950s. Morris Lapidus’ masterpiece was seen as a paragon of fashion, glamour, and evolving avant-garde, presenting a worldly style unknown to most parts of the United States in tandem with a fledgling progressive beach culture. The hotel became a magnet for Hollywood film stars and the backdrop of movies like “Scarface,” “The Bodyguard,” and “The Specialist.” The Fontainebleau became synonymous with Miami Beach. Thankfully, the majority of the Art Deco

o

architecture and treasures that once defined the Fontainebleau Miami Beach remain with the post-millennium reinvention. They’ve just had a slight nip and tuck to look fresh and young and sparkle with a veneer like shine. In fact, right before reopening the hotel earned its place in the prestigious list of US National Register of Historic Places. Since then, it’s been all about keeping history in style while taking the Miami Beach experience to yet another level. The hotel’s massive expansions are a size queen’s fantasy, with arcades of shops and worldrenowned restaurants (including Gotham Steak by Michelin-star chef Alfred Portale, Scarpetta by Scott Conant, Michelin-starred Hakkasan from London, Blade Sushi and La Côte), big pimpin’ nightclubs, and several pool areas. And lest we forget Bleau Live, which has hosted headlining tours by the likes of Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, Katy Perry, Miami’s own Pitbull and our LGBT favorite Ricky Martin. (Don’t miss Ricky live again Saturday Nov. 26 and do yourself a favor and make a weekend out of it!) With its uber-sexy lobby, super-hyped nightclub LIV, live music venue, restaurant juggernauts, and plethora of common spaces, the hotel reigns as the


place to see and be seen in Miami Beach. Indeed, it reinstates the fashion novelty that placed it on the map more than half a century ago and reminds us of a Golden Era glamour when Elvis Presley and the Rat Pack once performed at the hotel and partied like it was 1999 in their rooms. The legend of beautiful people, celebrities, fashionistas, and hipsters has generated a self-fulfilling prophecy,

as stunning men and women from around the world come to the hotel to outshine one another and hence keep the Fontainebleau an upscale alternative to the South Beach scene.

fitness

By Tom Bonanti

How To Be Hardcore! So you want to turn up the heat under your current fitness regime a few notches? What’s the first thing you should focus on? Should you start lifting mammoth weights to overload your muscle groups? Maybe sign up for yoga a couple of nights a week to increase flexibility? Perhaps you could start your day off with an hour of cardio on an empty stomach to jump start your fat loss program. With so many choices, where does a sane person start? Most fitness professionals have, for some time now, promoted developing core strength as a foundation for any fitness regime. If you have a strong trunk or torso, which is considered your core, you can simply go farther more safely and successfully with your fitness goals. Good core strength is also essential for such popular Florida past-times as swimming, tennis and biking. Core strength begins with your posture. Stand up straight and tall – keep your shoulders back, don’t slouch, pull your belly button into the spine and lower back. Ask your workout partner, trainer or massage therapist to evaluate your posture honestly to give you pointers. Improving poor posture is like starting a new habit. It takes time and practice and a sense of self-awareness, but you’ll catch on if you persevere. It’s crucial to develop core strength since the muscles of this area protect your spine and help prevent dreaded back injuries. By the way, back injuries and lower back pain are the main reason why people miss work and workouts! So, which are your core muscles? Your abdominals including your obliques (your sides), upper and lower back (deltoids and rhomboids), hips (gluteals, hip flexors, psoas) outer and inner thighs (abductors and adductors), hamstrings, the pectorals and triceps to some extent, and a whole host of deeper muscles you’ll never see, make up your core. Training your core should be an essential part of everyone’s program. Just as maintaining good posture is vital for core strength, so too is maintaining good form when you are stretching or doing cardio and especially pumping iron. What good is it to be able to curl a 100 pound dumbbell if you rock back and forth and throw out your lower back? Review your form with each weight training exercise. Make sure you know which muscle groups you are training. Be careful not to rush, jerk or swing your weights. Significant core strength can be achieved simply by maintaining good form when you’re lifting weights. To focus on the core, start out simply by working out on a Swiss Ball. Exercising on an unstable surface can help develop strength and

o

72 | jumponmarkslist.com

steadiness in several muscles of the core at once. For example, instead of doing overhead dumbbell presses seated on a bench, steady yourself on a Swiss ball and then perform the exercise. When performing dumbbell flies, situate yourself by lying across the ball and then do the exercise. There are tons of ways to work abdominals on a Swiss ball, crunches, reverse crunches, bent knee leg lifts, you name it! There are literally hundreds of ways to strengthen your core with one of these Swiss Balls. Just make sure that you get used to steadying yourself before you add heavy weights to your exercises. Now that I have introduced you to core training, you can download different exercises and regimes from the internet. With a little creativity and hard work, you, too can be hardcore! For more information on core strength, contact TrainerTomB@aol.com!

Thinking about selling?

Here is what one of our clients had to say about their experience:

Recently I decided to move my business and sell my home so I met with Rick Gibson. Rick sold me my home years ago but I was a bit concerned he may not have enough direct involvement. Ironically, of three people I called, one never called back, and the other suggested a very low price. When I called Rick, he answered the phone, remembered me precisely, and was there the next day. I knew I should list with him. That day I listed he had a virtual tour there that afternoon, and sold my home in a month for more than I thought possible. I honestly thought he was crazy for the price he suggested but he made it work. He was there all the way, and made it possible for me to buy a new home and exceed my goals in what could have been very stressful. I am so glad he was there for me, and if you want the best you should meet with him before you sell. - Robert Ricard, 2011
