Now, in this life-changing book, Tabitha shares the wisdom she gained from her own journey, showing readers how to make a life for themselves that is rooted in nonjudgmental kindness and love, both for themselves and for others.

Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life

by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans

In this book, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are. The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—where what you love, what you’re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy.

Becoming the One: Heal Your Past, Transform Your Relationship Patterns, and Come Home to Yourself

by Sheleana Aiyana

Romantic relationships have the ability to infuse our lives with the magic of intimacy and connection. But for many of us, that magic is fleeting—over and over, our relationships don’t last, or if they do, they fail to make us happy.

If you find yourself struggling to let go after a relationship ends, or you keep hitting the same wall in dating and relationships with emotionally unavailable people, this is not a sign that you are broken. It is a sign that somewhere along the way, you learned to sacrifice yourself in order to be loved. In Becoming the One, spiritual leader and visionary founder of the Rising Woman community Sheleana Aiyana offers a roadmap for transforming your relationship patterns to end the cycle of self-abandonment and move into the light of self-discovery.

Positive Thinking Can Change Your Life

When life gets hard and seems to continue throwing problems your way, it can be hard to stay positive. Yet in even the most difficult of times, the benefits of positive thinking can help both your mind and body. Luckily, thinking positively is a habit we can train ourselves to do. Research shows it has a positive impact on health, too. A recent study followed 70,000 women from 2004 to 2012 and found that those who were optimistic had a significantly lower risk of dying from several major causes of death, including: heart disease, stroke, cancer, infection, and respiratory diseases. Even if you were born into a negative environment or tend to think pessimistically, you have the power to change it, research says. According to Healthline, these are some ways to think on a more positive frequency:

Focus on the good things

Challenging situations and obstacles are a part of life. When you’re faced with one, focus on the good things no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they seem. If you look for it, you can always find the proverbial silver lining in every cloud — even if it’s not immediately obvious. For example, if someone cancels plans, focus on how it frees up time for you to catch up on a TV show or other activity you enjoy.

Practice gratitude

Practicing gratitude has been shown to reduce stress, improve self-esteem, and foster resilience even in very difficult times. Think of people, moments, or things that bring you some kind of comfort or happiness and try to express your gratitude at least once a day. This can be thanking a co-worker for helping with a project, a loved one for washing the dishes, or your dog for the unconditional love they give you.

Keep a gratitude journal

StudiesTrusted Source have found that writing down the things you’re grateful for can improve your optimism and sense of wellbeing. You can do this by writing in a gratitude journal every day or jotting down a list of things you’re grateful for on days you’re having a hard time.

Open yourself up to humor

Studies have found that laughter lowers stress, anxiety, and depression. It also improves coping skills, mood, and self-esteem. Be open to humor in all situations, especially the difficult ones, and give yourself permission to laugh.

Spend time with positive people

Consider the people with whom you’re spending time. Being around positive people has been shown to improve self-esteem and increase your chances of reaching goals. Surround yourself with people who will lift you up and help you see the bright side.

Start every day on a positive note

Create a ritual in which you start off each day with something uplifting and positive. Here are a few ideas:

• Tell yourself that it’s going to be a great day or any other positive affirmation.

• Listen to a happy and positive song or playlist.

• Share some positivity by giving a compliment or doing something nice for someone. Here’s to thinking more positively!

IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts at A Glance

A free public festival, IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts , is considered one of the top juried outdoor art shows in the Southeast and in 2020, was ranked #16 in Sunshine Artist’s “Best Fine Art Shows in the Nation.” In 2020, we presented 237 artists from 32 states and Canada, and drew over 50,000 arts enthusiasts. Presented by Atlantic Center for the Arts, IMAGES takes place in the beautiful outdoor setting of Riverside Park, with the Intracoastal Waterway providing a stunning backdrop, and along historic downtown Canal Street in New Smyrna Beach. The high quality, salable work combined with continuous live musical entertainment, creative children’s art projects, a student art exhibit, and pleasing cuisine provides a culturally rich experience that communicates Atlantic Center for the Arts’ stamp of artistic excellence.

IMAGES wouldn’t happen without the support and cooperation of the New Smyrna Beach City Commission, Police and Fire Departments, and Parks & Recreation Department, and we are grateful for their willingness to support the Festival in so many ways over the past 46 years. Among the young people involved with the Festival are members of the Boy Scout Troop 72, led by Jeremy and Rebecca Green and a dedicated corps of parents.

• IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts was founded 47 years ago, and is spread along Riverside Drive, partway up Canal Street, and throughout picturesque Riverside Park in New Smyrna Beach. It is open from 1 PM to 5 PM Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Saturday, and 10 AM to 4 PM Sunday.

The Florida keys were Anne’s home for most of her life. She spent a great deal of time boating, snorkeling and diving the once stunning reefs. Exploring the Florida bay back country was another wonderful adventure! Shells, feathers & driftwood were her treasures. Anne started creating art at a very young age. Thanks to a wonderful local art guild that provided art students with awards of supplies, she was able to learn how to work with many different media. At 16, she received a scholarship to Ringling School of Arts and at 18 she won a scholarship to study in Italy, through Florida International University in conjunction with the University of Bologna, Italy. It was 2004 when the feathers became a prominent fixture in her work. Anne loved how the patterns you find on feathers duplicated the patterns and colors you find on the reef and its tropical fish. She created collages, jewelry and finally started painting on the feathers.

Anne does not dye the feathers and only rarely cut them to trim or shape. All the feathers are naturally shed and are responsibly and legally sourced from parrot rescues, private owners, and rare bird breeders.

Anne’s work has been featured on PBS television’s Art Loft series: Episodes #249 and #349 which can be viewed on YouTube. You can see her largest works, to date, installed at the Christian Louboutin boutique in the Miami Design District. Anne was commissioned to create a tryptic of feather collages, each 8 feet tall by 4 feet wide. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma flooded her Florida Keys apartment and that October she moved to her new home in Fort Myers, where she now resides full time.

The Trish Thompson Emerging Artist Program returns to IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts! A partnership with Daytona State College, the program encourages Emerging Artists to participate in the world of outdoor festivals by guiding them through the application process and the logistics of a festival at no cost to them.

Daytona State College students experience the same juried application process as Festival Artists and three Emerging Artists will be selected by the judges. Each selected artist will receive a fully outfitted tent where they can sell their work at IMAGES, attend a workshop with a Festival Artist to learn industry tips and real-world applications of the outdoor festival world, showcase their talent to the 50,000+ attendees of the Festival, and vie for the $1,500 Emerging Artist Award! Plan to visit these talented students at their booths, learn more about their work, and support the next generation of artists!

Arts on Douglas

Arts on Douglas, established in 1996, was the vision of Doris “Doc” Leeper, founder of Atlantic Center for the Arts. She and fellow artist/benefactor, Ed Harris, transformed the former 1920s-era Ford car showroom into a unique commercial art gallery dedicated to promoting the work and careers of Florida artists.

Upon entering the gallery, guests will discover a carefully curated selection of contemporary works, arranged to compliment this historic space - with its original brick walls and open, beamed ceiling. Meandering through the main gallery, visitors will discover an impressive display of acrylic, oil and mixed media paintings tastefully displayed. Also, peppered throughout the space is an array of sculptures, ceramics and artistically designed jewelry. This ongoing group display highlights new work by the 40 artists represented by the gallery. This presentation is formally changed every four months, allowing visitors a new experience many times throughout the year. Along the south side is the alt_space Gallery, dedicated to showcasing contemporary genres including installation art, conceptual art, and experimental practices. Discover the Feature Gallery, displaying monthly solo and group exhibitions by gallery artists.

On the first Saturday of each month, the gallery welcomes the public to a free reception from 4-7 PM celebrating new exhibitions. These lively gatherings are complemented with cocktails and live jazz. In addition to opening 18 new exhibitions each year, the gallery’s professional staff offers clients a range of services including: art consultations, previews of artwork on location, commissions, delivery, installation and shipping.

Top Oral-Maxillofacial Surgeon Receives National Distinction

Florida Oral & Facial Surgical Associates’ Doctor Honored as Fellow

One of the area’s leading oral and facial surgeons is honored with a new accreditation. Dr. Bradley Pinker, D.D.S., M.D., F.A.C.S. was recently awarded a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (F.A.C.S.) accreditation. This accreditation makes him one of only a few Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery Fellows in Volusia and Flagler Counties, and the latest at Florida Oral & Facial Surgical Associates. Dr. Pinker’s colleagues, Dr. Curtis Schalit, F.A.C.S. received the distinction in 2019, and Dr. Roger Thayer, D.M.D., M.A., F.A.C.S. became a fellow earlier this year.

The F.A.C.S is bestowed upon top surgeons dedicated to improving the care of their patients and safeguarding standards of care in an optimal and ethical practice environment. Before a surgeon can become a fellow, their education, training, professional qualifications, surgical competence and ethical conduct must pass a rigorous evaluation and be consistent with the high standards established and demanded by the College.

“I am honored to join my esteemed colleagues in receiving this accreditation,” said Dr. Pinker. “My fellow surgeons and I work diligently to provide the very best care for our patients. In receiving this honor, I am furthering my education and training to enhance my skills and implement the latest technologies and techniques.”

Dr. Pinker is the newest member of Florida Oral & Facial Surgical Associates – the region’s top oral and facial surgical practice –joining in 2018. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Dr. Pinker specializes in orthognathic surgery, dentoalveolar surgery, maxillofacial pathology, maxillofacial trauma, and robot-assisted dental implant surgery with the use of the Yomi® Robotic System. Dr. Pinker also obtained a Doctor of Medicine from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and completed a general surgery internship.

The American College of Surgeons is a scientific and educational organization of surgeons dedicated to the ethical and competent practice of surgery. Since being founded in 1913, F.A.C.S. members have significantly influenced surgery in America and have been established as important advocates for all surgical patients. The College has more than 82,000 members and is the largest organization of surgeons in the world.
