LETTER FROM
the editor
the ripple effect
Ashley Madonna City and Business Contact AMadonna@SouthlakeStyle.com
It wasn’t that long ago when Nicole and I were the new kids in town. I say kids because we had yet to have any of our own — an anomaly then and still by current Southlake standards. In 2004, we threw ourselves into Southlake like pebbles into a pond. We were eager and excited to engage with our new community. At first, we just wanted to make certain the location of our first home was the right choice1. We sought out friendly resources to find and enjoy the best our new city had to offer. What we found was a suburb full of people welcome to new experiences and friends2. Embraced and encouraged by names3 now adorning parks, plaques and awards all over this great city, Nicole and I made our way as Texans and as publishers. If we were pebbles, then Southlake Style was our ripple. Years later, our work is intersecting with other ripples, old and new, as this month’s issue highlights traditions both long standing4 and in the making5. I like to think the Southlake Style ripple nurtures the heart of our community whether you were at the first Art in the Square or are just putting it on your family to-do list right now6.

Some bunny is verrry happy with our new house! It’s big. And nice. And has a big playroom. Where I get squeezed a lot. But, that’s OK! There are more places for hide-and-seek, too. Secret place under the cool new stairs. Corner of the huge new family room. Oh, that’s the room where the parents do a lot of reading to the kid and me. By something called a fireplace. Then the kid always grabs me and we hop around the huge new kitchen. Past something called a breakfast bar. The family just laughs and laughs. I’m hoppy. They’re happy. That agent-person from Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty said they would be. But, if you know of somewhere else we can hide in this fancy new hutch, I’m all ears.
Love where you live.

Think ‘13 Going On 30’ But in Reverse
You’ll fall in love with this movie from watching the trailer alone. “Blackish” star Marsai Martin came up with the concept for the film, and at only 14 years old, she’s getting to see it come to light. The film centers on Jordan (Regina Hall), a successful, yet relentlessly harsh boss. One day, her assistant April (Issa Rae) finds that Jordan has transformed into a 13-year old version of herself (Martin). Now, she is forced to adapt to life as an intensely bossy little person. If you loved “13 Going On 30,” prepare to be enchanted once again as hilarious age discrepancies ensue.

Hardcore fans have been anxiously waiting for almost two years. Lesser fans have been binge-watching since January to try to keep up. Caught up or not, the end is here. Winter has finally come. The eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones” airs this month, and everyone is excited to see what becomes of the perpetually shrinking list of characters. The season will only have six episodes, so prepare for an action-filled plot. The show is based on novels by George R. R. Martin, but this season will feature content that has not yet appeared in any of his books. Season 7 left audiences with a breathtaking cliffhanger, so it will be interesting to see how things close out.

Let’s Gather At The Table
P
eople often ask me how and why do I do it? I respond, “Because I have a responsibility to make others feel welcomed, just as others have done for me.” They are referring to my ability to welcome over 20 people or more for dinner, routinely. Thankfully, I don’t do it alone and everyone does his or her part. Our family provides the main dish, a couple of vegetable sides and a few drinks. Everyone else is invited to bring an appetizer, a dessert, a side or drinks. There is no rhythm to the flow. People arrive and set their contribution on the large kitchen island. Ahead of time, I set out the napkins, disposable plates, cups and cutlery. I make sure the bathrooms and main areas are relatively clean and inviting. We briefly say a thankful prayer before the meal, being mindful that not everyone may be of the same faith. Everyone casually helps themselves, and we all have meaningful conversations about life while the children play outdoors. That’s a typical day of gathering at the Chavez household. I grew up in a family of seven and an occasional dog. When I was five years old, my father bought our family a home in Texas while he struggled in his professional life as a teacher. My mother, a stay-at-home mom, always made sure there were parties at our home, even when finances were not looking good. However, the best events were at my grandparent’s home. Our family would head up to Colorado where my mom’s side of the family had immigrated to in the 1960s. Once school was let out for the
holidays or vacations, we would drive up from El Paso. With an extended family of over 65 people, those celebrations became a learning opportunity. I saw people interacting and being there for each other. Traditions and customs of Mexican heritage were passed down at these gatherings. My grandparents passed away a few years ago at 91 and 92 years of age, but even in their late years, they still enjoyed having people visit and making ordinary days into celebrations. I am so thankful that their congregating gene was passed down to me, although it took my husband a little time to adjust and appreciate it. Gathering people over a meal has been the most meaningful and rewarding skill I have mastered as a citizen of this earth. Are you feeling disconnected? I encourage you to try it. Graciously welcome people to join you in this life. Who knows? We may someday be at the same table sharing a meal. If you are willing to try it out, here are some useful tips: • Be personal and do life with others of different backgrounds. • Don’t have any expectations. • Be casual more often than formal. • Solicit help ahead of time. For example, schedule a home cleaner or buy prepared meals from your local grocery store or bakery. • Allow the children to entertain themselves while you learn more about your neighbors.

CRAFTING CULTURE AND Community
B Art In The Square Celebrates 20 Years
efore its critical acclaim, energetic entertainment lineups, infamous margarita sales and even Southlake Town Hall’s completion, Art in the Square debuted in 2000 with a promise to bring culture to the community while also supporting local charities. The first year, Southlake Women’s Club’s two-and-a-half day festival raised $38,000 for 10 beneficiaries. Based on that success and support, the organization gave it another go the following year. The second time around, Art in the Square more than doubled their displaying artists and raised even more money, so they told themselves they had to do another year. Now, as it aims to surpass $3 million in overall donations benefiting local charities, Art in the Square has grown into a magnet for both locals and tourists who want to embrace the event’s sense of community. It didn’t happen overnight, but over the past 20 years, Art in the Square provided Southlake with an event that put it on the map.
STARTING WITH THE ART While Art in the Square carries the essence of a professional production, it came out of a casual conversation between a few Southlake Women’s Club members. The 2000 president Sherri Whitt and fellow member Robin Snyder were talking about fundraiser concepts and brought the idea of an art festival to the organization’s board, and the group of volunteers hit the ground running. “Robin was an artist and had done fine art festivals in the past, so she really knew what we needed,” Sherri explains. “She laid down the plan, and we were very excited about it. We had no idea if it would succeed.” To create the festival, they, of course, had to find the right curation of vendors. So Art in the Square artist committee chair Terri Messing started reaching out to artists who she thought would bring quality pieces to town. The first year, 43 artists came out to the festival. Thanks to the community’s overwhelming support of the event, these artists were able to successfully walk away from their Southlake experience. “The community really got behind us,” Sherri says. “The artists that were there the first year did quite well.” And based on how much they sold and the relationships that were built, even more artists wanted to be a part of the 2001 event. “It was really all through word of mouth,” Terri says. “These people would travel around the country, do shows and talk about us. That just got us better and better artists.” Because of the dramatic interest increase, Terri started jurying the artists starting the second year. She gathered a group of professional local artists to help score the submissions and see who would make a good fit for the festival. In 2019 alone, Art in the Square received more than 700 artist applications, and they’ve received between 700 and 800 submission requests for the past several years. These applications do not just represent Texan professionals. Artists from nearly every state as well as Asia, Europe, Israel, Canada and Mexico put their hat in the ring. And it’s the diversity of submissions that make this event a nationally-ranked fine arts festival year after year. “It’s extremely competitive,” Terri Messing explains. Art in the Square also knows the value of the longtime artists who have set the bar for what locals should expect in the work displayed, so they are showcasing their 2019 Featured Artists with a new attraction, “Featured Artists Alley” on Main Street. All of the featured artists have been participants of Art in the Square for the last 15 to 20 years. There are artists who come back every year, even a select group who has shown all 20 years, but Terri acknowledges the importance of creating a new show each go around. She estimates 40 percent of the artist pool each year is experiencing Art in the Square for the first time. “We don’t want the same show. We want to have eye candy,” Terri explains. “You don’t have to like everything but we want everything to be interesting.” 22 • APR 19
ART IN THE SQUARE 2018 BY THE NUMBERS $200,000 donated to the year's beneficiaries. 100 sponsors joined forces with Art in the Square 1,000 volunteers came out to be a part of the event and gave back for an estimated 6,000 hours. Nearly 300,000 tickets sold for food and beverages. 98 youth art participants benefited from the program.
SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE
BUILDING OUT THE WEEKEND To help support the artists, raise money for the selected beneficiaries and get more people excited about coming out to Art in the Square, Southlake Women’s Club knew the importance of building out the entire weekend. So during the first year, the Southlake Women’s Club members and their husbands started flipping burgers for festival guests. They also sold soft drinks and candy that then went to the total proceeds. But the organization knew they wanted to do more. What came to follow was a growing list of festival food vendors as well local restaurants who started to sell products to guests. Longtime Southlake locations, like Feedstore BBQ, jumped at the chance to be a part of the community celebration. “We have been doing it a long time, and it was our first venture into doing a festival-style event,” Feedstore BBQ owner Mike Lafavers says. “It’s incredibly fun because it’s a feel-good event. They were really heavy into promoting local businesses at the time too.” Art in the Square also started offering alcohol to guests who wanted something to quench their thirst while walking around the square. “Each year just grew and we added a little bit along the way,” Sherri says. Kids also got more as the festival started to grow. Kids Korner has always been a part of Art in the Square’s offerings, but the available attractions grew to help keep everyone entertained throughout the day. Now kids have a lot to get excited for with The Zone, which includes rock climbing and bungee jumping. For the kids at heart, Art in the Square took the time to build out the live music entertainment program. While the first year did not have any headlining acts, the following Art in the Squares featured bigtime names like Steve Holy, Stoney LaRue and Jewel. GIVING BACK WITH ART IN THE SQUARE Art in the Square was designed to be a fun weekend for all, but it also has seriously impacted the local community with its dedication to give back. Since 2000, 68 different charities have received more than $2.8 million in funding. In 2018, they were able to donate $200,000 alone. And it’s all thanks to a group of determined volunteers. “We had no vision of how much money we could raise,” Sherri says. “I think it’s unbelievable for a group of women who are all volunteers to be able to put this together and go forward.” This year, Art in the Square will benefit 31 organizations as well as fund scholarships for Carroll graduates thanks to the proceeds raised from sponsorships, vendor booth fees and food and drink sales. And in the 20th year, Southlake Women’s Club hopes to surpass the $3 million mark. Raising that much money can’t be done in a few months. These women devote a majority of the year to ensuring each Art in the Square is more successful than the last. “While our committee chair meetings start in September, the work never stops for planning the next Art in the Square,” sponsorship chair Carmen Evans says. “We bring our husbands, children, family and friends to SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

help with this event. We work tirelessly together, and there is a bond that unites us every year through the weekend.” Art in the Square encourages new talent through the Youth Art Gallery and Emerging Artists programs. Instead of just celebrating professionals’ creations, these women know they have to help create the next class of artists if they want to support the community. Northeast Tarrant County high school students can apply for the Youth Art program, where they will be juried and a select group will be showcased in the Youth Art tent. Kids also have the chance to receive awards, sponsored by Roxann Taylor, for outstanding achievement. And one student will receive the Lone Star Artist Award and have their work placed in the Texas State Capitol for one week. The winner will also have the chance to visit Austin, compliments of Kids Matter International, get a tour of the capitol with State Representative Giovanni Capriglione and see their work displayed to the public. The women and volunteers behind Art in the Square have touched more lives than the ones that walk the streets each April. They have provided a stage for local talent, given back to meaningful charities and shown that a simple idea can truly have a ripple effect. While Art in the Square has been around for two decades, the same women are still leading the charge. “Almost everyone who has chaired Art in the Square over the past 20 years is still around,” Terri says. “People love it. It is a community project. It is a village. But the people who are doing this love it. As a founder, I thought if there are that many people who love it as much as I do, then that’s amazing.” They might have been unaware of their long term impact, and still may not know what Art in the Square’s future holds, but their drive to keep going has shaped what Southlake is known for. “We never had plans for 20 years,” Sherri says. “It was always, ‘Let’s do another year and see how it goes.’ There’s always been someone who has said I want to chair this. It creates such adrenaline. After setting up and walking in the next morning, you look around and just say, ‘We are ready to rock and roll.’” The 2019 Art in the Square will run from April 26 to 28. Whether this is your first year out or your 20th year supporting the cause, Art in the Square is something all of Southlake can be proud of. 24 • APR 19

SOUTHLAKE SENIOR GETS HELP FROM POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR ELABORATE PROMPOSAL Senior prom and cops might not always go hand in hand, but Andrew Vallerie wanted to surprise his girlfriend with a memorable experience. So he turned to the Southlake Police Department for assistance. The Carroll Senior High School student knew he wanted to go big for his promposal (an elaborate way of asking someone to prom), but he didn’t know where to start. Then his parents recommended he got the police involved. He reached out to his SRO to see if the department would be interested in making his idea come to fruition. The department jumped on board, and the plan was set. On February 22, Andrew was driving with his girlfriend, Erynn Kennedy. Seeing the blue and red lights flashing behind him, Andrew pulled over. After talking with both officers, Andrew and Erynn were asked to step out of the vehicle. Then, the officers let Andrew do his thing. Andrew opened the trunk where his promposal was waiting: a sign that read, “Prom without you should be illegal.” His trunk was also filled with red and blue balloons and roses for Erynn. Erynn said yes and the two will be expected at the 2019 Carroll Senior Prom on May 18. And, in typical Southlake DPS fashion, the moment was caught on video and shared on their social channels, which created a viral moment for the two seniors.

EMERALD BELLES AUDITION FOR ‘AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’ For years, the Southlake Carroll Emerald Belles have been training talented dancers, many of who go on to dance at the collegiate or even professional level. At the MA Nationals last year, the team placed sixth overall, earning first places in High Kick and Lyrical and second place in Jazz. Now, the group of 78 high school dancers is venturing into new territory: auditioning on “America’s Got Talent.” Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel most famously judge the reality talent contest show. The upcoming season will feature two new stars replacing former judges Heidi Klum and Mel B, as the new panel will add Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough. While we have no idea what happened with the Belles in California, all we can say is tune in on May 28 for season 14 of “America’s Got Talent” to find out. The Emerald Belles are led by captain Molly McKinnon; senior lieutenants Josette Chang, Kathryn Larkin, Rachael Lilly, Mackenzie Lusk and Isabella Papadimitriou; and junior lieutenants Emily Kennedy, Mackenzie Matwick, Kelli Nusspickel and Kinsy Smith. Melissa Page, who traveled with the girls to their audition, directs the team.

The Southlake Carroll graduate moved to town when she was 11 years old, and she always knew she wanted to bake. Jessica started baking at an early age with her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, which is how she learned a few tricks when it came to Southern cooking. Now, Jessica creates custom celebratory cakes including wedding cakes and shares her creations on Instagram. The majority of her work can be done from her home, which helps her spend more time with her children.

HAVEN DENTAL Changing People’s Lives Through Their Smiles
H
aven Dental is exactly what the name implies: A welcoming, high-class environment. Its founder, Dr. Tyler Brady, and team are doing everything they can to ensure patients are comfortable and happy with their results. And it is working. Patients are voluntarily returning to Haven Dental for additional cosmetic work. “I’ve trained with some of the best cosmetic dentists in the world from Dubai to Beverly Hills, Miami, Switzerland and Brazil, and it shows in the way that I practice.” On top of routine dental work like root canals, implants and cleanings, Dr. Brady places a strong emphasis on cosmetic dentistry. Offering veneers, invisalign, six month smile braces, IPL facial laser technology from Viora and Botox injections, Haven Dental is fully equipped to give patients a full smile makeover. “I became passionate about cosmetic dentistry after seeing the difference a smile makeover can make in a person’s life,” Dr. Brady says. “They come in and they’re not happy about the way they feel about their smile. We’re able to change that in two appointments.” When patients’ smiles are straighter and brighter thanks to veneers or braces, they can continue to improve their smile outside of the mouth with the use of Botox. For a full makeover, Haven Dental also offers spot and freckle removal, scar diminishing, acne treatments, skin tightening, lip fillers, under eye bag reduction, hair removal and more with Viora laser treatments and their resident esthetician. All of this takes place as patients relax in state-of-theart dental chairs that can provide a heated massage. This dentist office is not a childhood dread – it’s an inviting atmosphere that puts you at ease using the latest technology. “I wanted a name that makes people feel comfortable, and know that they are getting world class work done,” Dr. Brady says. “Many people are pretty timid about going to the dentist and I wanted to reiterate that this is a place where they’ll be taken care of and a place where they can feel safe and appreciated.”

Lori Cerami
FOUNDER OF RUN4ELISE Born and raised in South Louisiana, Lori Cerami first came to Southlake in 2001. Over the past 18 years, she and her husband David have worked in town and made a huge impact on the city, even in the face of tragedy. In June 2016, Lori and David lost their 13-year-old daughter Elise to a fatal drowning while warming up. The young girl was a healthy competitive swimmer, which left Lori in shock because she had no idea that her daughter could be at risk. “My husband and I later learned that nearly half of children ages 10-17 who drowned reported knowing how to swim and that Texas loses 70-100 children to fatal drownings each year,” Lori says. She felt compelled to do something about those numbers, so she founded Swim4Elise, a nonprofit with a mission of increasing the awareness of water safety in the local area. “With the help of the community, Swim4Elise Foundation has awarded more than 30 swim camp and college scholarships. We have funded 30 lifeguard certifications encouraging rescue and response skills for those closest to the water. And, we have taught water safety education to over 7,000 children in our local area.” Their biggest annual event, Run4Elise, is a 5K and 1-mile fun run that brings the community together, honors the life of Elise Cerami and raises money for the nonprofit’s efforts. “We want to empower and equip the community with effective layers of water safety, therefore reducing the number of fatal drownings,” Lori says. “The Run4Elise serves as our scholarship fundraiser and our water safety platform.” To support the cause, you can join Lori at this year’s Run4Elise on April 6. Lori hopes to continue spreading her message and provide resources for locals to ensure that future drownings can be prevented.

Tim Nystrom
PRESIDENT AT NEWSTREAM COMPANIES Southlake resident and President and CEO of Newstream Companies Tim Nystrom says he was attracted to entrepreneurial opportunities from an early age. After graduating from Baylor University, he purchased a Smoothie King franchise, which turned into several Smoothie Kings, which lead to a successful real estate company and eventually a commercial development company, focusing on hotel and mixeduse retail development, that’s shaping the Metroplex. His team has taken on some of the hottest local developments like revisioning downtown Roanoke, building out a lifestyle development in Flower Mound and now creating a new property in Grapevine. “It’s not just about building something,” Tim says. “It’s about creating something that has a footprint and stamp that leaves a legacy.” He, alongside his brother Matt Nystrom, also wanted to get involved with the restaurant industry, so they opened Craft & Vine Taproom & Eatery inside one of their developments. And after its success, they went on to open Stacks Biscuit House. “I knew one day I really wanted to open a few restaurant concepts,” Tim explains. “It’s a passion for me.” While Tim is balancing a lot of other projects, he still is excited to grow his restaurant portfolio, whether that be opening a second Craft & Vine location or developing a new concept in the future for local diners. And he credits his team for giving him the support to take on more legacy-building opportunities. “They really embrace their roles and embrace what they are doing,” Tim says. “As long as you have really talented people working for you, it’s easy to compartmentalize.” When he’s not working, Tim enjoys traveling with his wife Donna and their three children, Andrew, Zac and Madison. The two are also very active in CISD because they know how lucky they are to be in a city with such a thriving school system and community. “We knew we wanted to get our kids into a good school district and be in a really good community,” Tim says. “We plan on being here for a while.”

Hanis Hussey
SOUTHLAKE WOMEN’S CLUB’S PROGRAMS CHAIR During her first meeting with the Southlake Women’s Club, Hanis Hussey heard the group was looking for someone to coordinate an annual fashion show. She approached the president, Julie Walsh, and briefly shared her background and desire to volunteer. From there, she got right to work. “I love training women and helping them walk better, look better and have more confidence,” Hanis says. That love, particularly when united with fashion, comes from a lifetime of working in the industry. After being discovered at a fashion show in her home country, Singapore, Hanis moved to Paris at only 16 years old. Soon after, she was handpicked by Yves Saint Laurent himself to work as an inhouse model solely for the Yves Saint Laurent label. After her contract was up, she was hired by Givenchy, also as an in-house model. For years, she worked closely with these titans of high fashion. “They were like father figures to me,” Hanis explains. “They saw me grow up. I worked with them exclusively for two years each, but then I worked with them as a free agent for the next 10 years." To this day, she is recognized as the first Singaporean model to appear on the catwalk of Paris Fashion Week. Hanis worked with other labels such as Christian Dior and Lanvin, and has even been pictured on the cover of “TIME Magazine.” After settling down to have a family – her children are 29, 25 and 21 – she taught at a modeling school in Singapore. In 2016, she served as the catwalk coach for the contestants of Miss Universe Singapore. Two years ago, she and her husband moved to Texas. Drawn particularly to Trophy Club by its glimmering golf courses, they decided to call it home. But Hanis found another home in Southlake Women’s Club. This will be her third year to organize the fashion show, and it has grown with her at the helm. For Hanis, it’s all about growing women’s confidence and giving back to the community.

Joey Kramer
FOUNDER OF THE DISTILLED GENTLEMEN When Dr. Joey Kramer moved his practice, Hope Chiropractic, to Southlake, he noticed a lack of social groups specifically for men. In light of that, he started brainstorming ideas for how to unite men in the community. Joey wasn’t trying to make good networking scenarios; he was simply trying to invite men to converse and bond. “A good friend of mine, Mo, and I were watching ‘Last Man Standing,’” he recalls. “And we realized that every time two guys have a good conversation, they are doing one of three things: playing golf, smoking cigars or drinking whiskey. So, in October 2017, he formed the Distilled Gentlemen, a members-only club for men to socialize over their favorite whiskeys. Soon, the group outgrew Joey’s office and moved to Sotheby’s before finally moving to the Marq. “We were just looking to get guys together to build friendships and camaraderie and have a positive experience,” Joey says. “The rules were simple: It was $20 at the door, bring your own bottle and we'll have glasses and ice.” Beyond whiskey and friendship, a pillar of the Distilled Gentlemen is to have a positive impact on the community. For example, when the GRACE food pantry burned down last year, the group raised money to help the local nonprofit. Most notably, the Distilled Gentlemen presented a $12,750 check for Metroport Meals on Wheels during its annual party last December. The following morning, an anonymous donor matched it. Joey estimates that the group has raised around $30,000 for charity organizations since it started less than two years ago. Now, with a governing board and about 60 members, the group continues to thrive and give back to the community. Men are encouraged to form friendships and sample varieties of bourbon and beyond. The only thing they can’t do is overindulge or pass out business cards. "What's neat is now you're providing an avenue for people to go beyond networking and actually meet people,” Joey says.

Judi McQueary
CEO OF THE CORINTHIAN FAMILY OF COMPANIES When Judi McQueary founded Corinthian Wellness Spa, she did so with the mission of providing a “neighborhood destination spa” for all ages. She wanted to create a calming, nurturing environment where people could relax and restore. “I had always loved spas and had a passion for health and wellness,” she explains. “For years I dreamed of owning my very own spa where both of these elements could come together in a beautiful, serene, supportive environment. “ Corinthian Wellness Spa is only one part of a large group of businesses that Judi oversees. As president and CEO of The Corinthian Family of Companies, she also leads Corinthian Health Services (CHS), Destiny Drip Bar and CareNet. She credits these companies for opening the doors to a variety of philanthropic work. For example, it was through CHS that she met Fred and Vicki Modell, founders of The Jeffrey Modell Foundation (JMF). Named after their son who died at 15 from complications of Primary Immunodeficiency, the foundation is a global nonprofit devoted to raising awareness of the disease, advocating for patients and raising funds for research. When meeting the Modells, Judi knew that this was a cause to embrace. “We decided to build amazing, imaginative Disney-level infusion centers with theaters, virtual aquariums and fun games while avoiding anything scary or medical,” she explains. “The nurses, for example, wear costumes...not uniforms.” CHS serves as the Modell's inspiration partner for the infusion experience. The company is exclusively contracted to provide JMF infusion centers. Closer to home, Judi works with a plethora of local nonprofits, such as GRACE and Colleyville Women's Club, but she is most passionate about her work with at The Gatehouse. “My heart belongs to The Gatehouse where I am very honored to be a Founding Circle 58 Member,” she says. “It is a huge game-changer in the lives of the women and children it serves by ending the cycles of abuse and poverty and allowing them to discover new paths for permanent change.”

JEWELRY DESIGNER CELEBRATES 20 YEARS WITH ART IN THE SQUARE
I
rving resident Jo Jennings has been creating jewelry for close to 70 years and has been participating in both local and national art shows over that tenure. So when Art in the Square popped up on the scene 20 years ago, Jo jumped on board. This year, she will also be celebrating her 20th year participating in the event – right alongside Art in the Square itself.
I FIRST GOT INTO JEWELRY MAKING WHEN… my mom saw a little article in the local newspaper on a jewelry making class at the YMCA. I was 13 at the time. She came back after going to her first class and showed me what she was doing, and that’s all it took. I just had to go. I AM PRETTY MUCH… self-taught. I started out making metal sculptures. In fact, I have the first thing I made still. It was a bowl that was made out of copper, brass, silver and gold, and it’s on an ebony base. I ENTERED MY FIRST ART COMPETITION… at 16 or 17 years old. One thing leads to another and you hear about another competition. And I’m not someone who makes one thing and then wants to quit. EVERYTHING I DO… is in gold. Everything is natural, and no pieces are alike – unless someone wants two alike designs. It’s all one of a kind. They are just whatever I feel in the moment. I start out with the stone and then create a piece around that specific stone. It’s all very freeform. I FIRST HEARD ABOUT ART IN THE SQUARE WHEN… Terri Messing first called me when she was thinking about starting an art show. We talked back and forth and then Terri just went to work and has worked herself to a frazzle. That was 20 years ago. Terri is the most organized gal. She gets the people working. ART IN THE SQUARE… strives to be the best. We just keep getting better and better. As the show grows, more and more people hear about it and want to be a part of it – even people from many, many states away.
WE SEE… new artists all the time. There are several that manage to make it back time and time again, but there are a lot of new ones too. And that keeps the show alive. The variety draws more people. Everybody who comes who hasn’t been before is just amazed by the quality of the art and the variety of the pieces. I’VE ALSO BEEN A PART OF … the jury that judges the submissions not only for Art in the Square but also several other shows. A lot of people don’t understand how important it is to have a good photograph of their work and how important their booth photograph is. If you show you are going to have a messy booth at the show, it just tells me that you don’t care enough about what you have to make things look appealing. I’m looking for the quality of the workmanship, the cleanliness and the talent. RIGHT NOW… I am working on several shows and am really trying to get orders out. It takes days to create my pieces. I do it all in wax; I burn the wax overnight. Then, I force some molten gold in and that’s casting it. Then I have to clean and cut everything off the button, grind it all down, polish it, get it all finished and set the stones or join the joints or whatever it takes. You don’t just whip through it in a couple of hours. Something simple could have a turnaround as quick as two weeks while others could be a month. I GET UP AT… 2:30 or 3:30 a.m. and go up to my studio and start working. If there is any spare time, I am working. I’m a sick, sick workaholic, but I love what I am doing. In May, I will be 81 and people ask me when I am going to retire, and I have no plans to retire. I am so saturated with designs and creativity, so I just can’t wait to get up and play.

UNBREAKABLE Keleigh Milliorn Remembers Her Sister Through Cancer Fundraiser
56 • APR 19
SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE
BY M A L E E SA S M I T H P H OTO S BY B LU D O O R ST U D I O S
O
n a clear November night in 2009, Keleigh Milliorn and her sister Kristan Corrington “Kacie” Ahmann took a break from cooking a Thanksgiving feast and went out on the back porch. There, the two hugged, cried and tried to make sense of everything. It had been a rough few years. Kacie spent the past six years fighting chronic myeloid leukemia. It was a tough battle as she experienced some of the worst chemotherapy side effects her oncologist had ever seen. She jokingly dubbed herself the “worst patient ever,” and Keleigh got her a custom tank top with those exact word bedazzled in Swarovski crystals. Just as Kacie experienced major lows, there was a hopeful high. She was enrolled in a trial for a new drug that was developed through a grant from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Her side effects, though still challenging, were manageable, and she went into remission. But in 2009, doctors discovered a mutation in her leukemia and an abnormality in her marrow. She was left with one option: a stem cell transplant. Given the horrible side effects Kacie had already experienced, she and Keleigh both viewed the transplant with misgiving. “We honestly felt like it was a death sentence,” Keleigh says. All of that led up to the emotional conversation on Keleigh’s back porch in Southlake. "One of the things I said to her was ‘Promise me that you won't die. And I promise you that if it gets too bad, I'll tell you it's ok to go,’” Keleigh recalls. “We promised that and then the next day we put on our big girl panties and decided to go about getting her well.”
THE BATTLE After a hard night of crying and coming to terms with Kacie’s diagnosis, the whole family went on a trip to South Padre. It was cold, but they were together, and that’s all that mattered. Later, they threw her a shower, where all of her friends gathered and gave her things to make her hospital stay more cheerful. On February 2, 2010, Kacie entered the hospital. She loved bright colors and sparkles, so the room was adorned accordingly. “Her room was completely decorated,” Keleigh laughs. “Nurses would walk in and be like 'Wow!'” That is only a small glimpse into the light they tried to bring into Kacie’s hospital stay. Keleigh and other family members were constantly coming up with ways to entertain and radiate positivity. From blowing up latex gloves and batting them around like balloons, to everyone wearing surgical masks in solidarity, Kacie’s crew kept things as light-hearted as possible. Then the day arrived when she was matched with a nonfamilial marrow donor and soon it would be time for her transplant. “It was an amazing day,” Keleigh recalls. “I'm looking at a bag of stem cells and I'm realizing that I'm looking at my sister's life in this bag. We prayed over it and we prayed for the donor and then they hooked it up to her.” SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

The next day, Kacie had a cough. Test results showed that it was from a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). For most healthy individuals, this would act as a common cold. But for Kacie, whose immune system had been brought down for the transplant, RSV was life-threatening. She was rushed to the ICU and put in a pressure negative room, which allowed air to flow into the room but not escape from the room, preventing other patients from also contracting RSV. “One of the nurses told me it had an 85 percent chance of killing her,” Keleigh says. “I couldn't fathom that.” Even in the ICU waiting room, Keleigh and her family made an effort to comfort others. Even when Kacie slipped into a coma for two months. “There's a hierarchy in the ICU waiting room. Whoever has been there the longest gets the best seats,” she jokes. “Eventually we were the people who had been there the longest. We'd give food to people and encourage them. We were kind of like the candy stripers of the ICU. We hung up pictures of her so that people would know what she looked like before.” Ultimately, Kacie beat RSV. Sadly, her immune system was so weak and her body was so tired from fighting, that it became a fight to survive. She was suffering from hallucinations and eventually developed Graft vs. Host Disease, a condition that occurs when donor bone marrow attacks the recipient. To treat this, her doctor had to suppress her immune system. Not long after, she came down with pneumonia. “She was talking to us at 1 p.m. and was gone by 3 p.m.,” Keleigh says. “I held her and I whispered into her 58 • APR 19
ear, ‘You worked hard, it's okay. You kept your promise, and now I'm keeping mine. It's OK for you to go.’” Kacie passed away that day, April 12, 2010, at 44 years of age. In respect of her wishes, everyone wore bright colors to her remembrance service. “She wanted everyone to wear orange to her funeral because she said you should get a new outfit out of the deal,” Keleigh laughs. While Keleigh remembers the hard battle and uses that to help others, it’s not the first thing that comes to mind when you ask her about Kacie. “She was outgoing and funny and beautiful,” Keleigh says with a smile. “Everyone loved her. She had people who would have laid down their lives for her because she was that good of a friend.” THE NOMINATION Around the same time in the same city, a little girl named Chloe Brown fought off leukemia twice before turning five years old. During her journey to recovery, she became obsessed with the Dallas Stars hockey team. At the time, one of the players, Vernon "Vern" Fiddler, had a suite and would invite children cancer patients to watch the games from there. Now a healthy, spunky 12-year-old, Chloe is still an avid fan of the Stars. In fact, she was at a game when she met Keleigh. In the American Airlines Center where the Stars play, Keleigh is known as the “sign lady.” For each home game, she handmakes creative, themed signs to root on her team. She estimates that she has made hundreds of SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE

signs. Initially brought together by their mutual love of the Stars, Keleigh and Chloe bonded over a shared experience of being impacted by leukemia. "Both are Dallas Stars diehards,” laughs Rhonda Brown, Chloe’s mom. “Chloe has kind of a ritual. She wants to arrive when the doors open and she goes down and waits for the warm up to start, which is about an hour after the doors open. Keleigh also sits down there, and they began talking while they waited. They became friends and we absolutely love her and her husband." In honor of her journey through leukemia, Chloe was named Girl of the Year by the North Texas chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. She now sits on the board and recently nominated Keleigh to campaign for LLS Woman of the Year. "Chloe knew that Keleigh could do a good job because she understood what her sister had gone through and what she had gone through,” Rhonda says. Late last month, Keleigh’s campaign began, and it will run until June 8. If – or as Keleigh says, “when” – she raises $50,000, a national research grant will be named after her sister. “I'm the first person to run from this area,” Keliegh says. “I want to show them what Southlake and Grapevine can do. We have an amazing community and I went to spotlight that.” THE CAMPAIGN When asked what she thinks Kacie would say about her run for LLS Woman of the Year, Keleigh laughs. "She'd say, '$50,000 is bull...,” she said. “She'd tell me I could do more.” And in many ways, Keleigh already has done more. Prior to her campaign to raise at least $50,000, Keleigh has used her journey to help comfort others going through similar struggles. “I tried to use what I learned through the whole process to help other people,” she says. “I've walked that road, and it sucks, but I've walked it and it's better if you're not walking alone.” Keleigh is now well on her way to raising money to fight the disease that took her sister. Even the Dallas Stars have sent her a signed jersey that she will use as an auction item. Whether she earns the title or not, she will be contributing to the $220 million that man and woman of the year candidates have raised since 1990. For Keleigh, to have a grant named after Kacie would mean things coming full circle. The drug that helped Kacie the most during her battle was funded by an LLS grant. Now, it’s Keleigh’s chance to give back. If anyone can do it, it’s this unbreakable woman. “God taught me a long time ago that I was stronger than I knew,” she says. “I always thought that I was strong but having been through all of this I realized that although I'm weak in a lot of ways. You can't break me”. APR 19 • 59

DETAILS Tiffany T Wire Bar Earrings in 18K gold with diamonds Price: $3,500 Tiffany.com
SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM
ith its iconic shade of blue and beautifully crafted designs, Tiffany & Co. has become one of the world’s most beloved brands. To encapsulate all it stands for, the chic jeweler has launched the Tiffany T Collection as part of its new spring line. Each piece features the letter T in the minimalist design, which acts as a tasteful reminder of the values Tiffany believes in and a callback to the city – New York – that originally inspired the company’s pieces starting in 1837. While the spring ensemble includes everything from statement rings to delicate bracelets to pendant necklaces, the Tiffany T Wire Bar Earrings in 18K Gold With Diamonds stand out
from the pack. The simple yet sophisticated design creates the T shape by using two clean perpendicular lines that both glisten with precious stones – a total of .21 carats to be exact. The final result is a new take on extravagant drop earrings that can be worn everyday or broken out for special occasions. And thanks to gold’s natural neutral tone, they can easily be integrated into any spring look. If yellow gold is not your go-to metal, don’t fret because this design is also available in a gleaming white gold. So everyone can sport these beautiful bars. For a clean new jewelry piece that represents both the brand’s history and impact, consider investing in Tiffany T Wire Earrings. The strong, classic look will have you looking stylish all season long.

Sachet Proves Sharing Food Should Be Celebrated

68 • APR 19
ining is at its best when it’s a communal experience. With guests trying unfamiliar flavors, enjoying fresh takes on classic dishes and exploring new recipes by diving into each other’s plates, a night out enjoying quality food is bound to create memorable moments. That’s why the husband-and-wife team Stephen Rogers and Allison Yoder created a menu meant to be shared. “We wanted a place where guests could share and try everything,” Yoder says. The upscale Highland Park Mediterranean eatery first opened its doors in 2017, and over the past two years, the restaurant has become the home for neighborhood regulars as well as guests who want to try an array of dishes while dining out. Its menu keeps things simple – mezes (starters), salads, appe-
tizers, pastas, entrees and family-style dishes that embrace the flavorful regions they hail from. And instead of just ordering one dish, the staff encourages guests to course out their experience to get a taste of the range of their offerings. Before diving into the first dish, guests must peruse the wine and cocktail list. Bright libations – like the Sachet Spritzer, persimmon and lemon peel Aperol, cava, lemon and orange wheel; and the Sassy Spaniard, serrano and sweet pepper infused Tito’s, Solerno, lime and basil – await those looking for a refreshingly sippable cocktail. Gin and tonic lovers will love the four different varieties on the menu, each balancing light flavors to create an enjoyable drink.

LOCALFLAVOR review
Sachet also offers one of the most dynamic Mediterranean-focused wine programs in town – displaying in the gorgeous glass-enclosed cellar standing tall in the dining room. And their well-trained staff stand ready to offer recommendations — like a 2015 Turkish Papaskarasi, a single grape varietal wine grown only in Turkey — based on your preferences or your course selections. After looking over the menu – and enjoying freshly baked bread made in the wood-fired oven, diners can start to map out their meal. Each meze, vegetable-forward dishes that let the individual ingredients shine, brings something new to the table. The Gordal Olives, served with citrus, herbs and garlic, provide that bite guests crave when enjoying the salty starter. And the Spicy Roasted Eggplant, served with roasted peppers, garlic and tomato, create harmony with their hearty textures and welldeveloped flavors. Appetizers – like the Quail Lollipops and Charred Octopus – foreshadow the boldly spiced and zesty dishes that await while still providing interesting takes on unexpected proteins. The housemade pastas, like the Spicy Goat Rigatoni served with Swiss chard and jalapeno pesto, come out delicate and light while still embracing the region’s flavors. “We wanted to feature flavors from the entire Mediterranean coast from Greece, Turkey, Israel, Morocco, Provence, Southern Italy and Southern Spain,” Allison says. “We love that Mediterranean food is vibrant, flavorful and offers healthier options.” The owners’ enthusiasm for the region is clear in the entrees. The seafood dishes are treated with care and only enhanced with their added touches while the meat options feature rich flavors. The Moroccan Lamb Chops, accompanied by Rancho Gordo beans, celery leaves and matbucha, are easy to split among the table and bring the spice with each bite. For a dish designed for two, the Crispy Pork Shank, served with porcini farotto and arugula salsa verde, melts as soon as you put a bite in your mouth. Wrap up the night with one of the region’s tastiest sweets. The Pressed Greek Yogurt, topped with an Asian pear compote, pomegranate and brown butter crumble, and the Chocolate Mosaic, tahini mousse layered with toffee caramel and rye tuile, each provide a delicious bite but bring something distinct to the menu. It’s just another reason to order an extra dish and spend the night trying out as much as you can from their menu. “The best way to experience Sachet is to share everything family style,” Yoder says. Diners are welcome to bounce around the menu, but Sachet does offer a four-course prix fixe menu for the pre- and post-theater crowd. For $35 per person, guests can choose from a selection of the mezes, pastas, entrees and desserts. It’s truly the best deal for those who want to enjoy the biggest bang for their buck – between the hours of 5 to 6 p.m. or 10 to 11 p.m.

Keeping It Cool
Coolgreens Brings More Than Ordinary Salads To The Table Southlake residents Luis and Shanna Argote are bringing the first Coolgreens to Texas. The healthy, fast casual restaurant, with locations throughout Oklahoma, opened in the former East Hampton Sandwich Co. location last month. With more than 20 years in the business, the dynamic couple is ready to get people excited about wholesome food and create a warm environment that invites people to dine with them. “As Southlake residents, our goal is to create repeat customers by offering an excellent food experience provided with a warm welcome and a sense of personal recognition,” Luis says. Their menu – featuring both signature dishes and a Create Your Coolgreens option – lets diners build out their own experience. Whether it's a hearty salad, wrap, flatbread, bowl or sandwich, each visit gives guests the opportunity to try something new. And with fun ingredient pairings – like in the Spicy Avocado Crunch or Sesame Crisp Quinoa Bowl, guests will get excited about exploring the innovative finds on the menu. “It is not a traditional ‘salad’ fare restaurant but offers a variety of choices (flatbreads, sandwiches, quinoa bowls), which make us a dining option for the whole family several times per week.” Coolgreens also offers kids options, so your little ones can also get excited about building their own healthy favorites. With the Kids Coolgreens, kids can choose their fresh green base, three toppings and a dressing. Or, for those who may not be as excited about salads, they can try a little bit of everything with the Cool Kids’ Tasting Plate, which lets kids choose any four signature toppings for sides and comes with oven-roasted chicken. For an all-time kid favorite, Coolgreens also offers a half flatbread pizza that is accompanied by fresh fruit. With options for everyone, Coolgreens is an easy choice for a meal with the whole family. Everyone can get exactly what they are craving and rest assured they are being filled up with nutritious ingredients. “We want your visits to Coolgreens to feel like an extension of our own kitchen table – a place where people feel welcome, filled and part of our family – but you’ll never have to help with the dishes,” Luis says.

For hand-pulled noodles and other Northern Chinese street food favorites, Monkey King Noodle Company has got you covered. The longtime Deep Ellum restaurant has made a name for itself by doing things the old-fashioned way. And after swirling a few of their Spicy Garlic Peanut Noodles around your chopsticks, you’ll see why. Their stir-fry dishes are more than enough to fill you up while out on the town, and their dumplings simply cannot be missed. For a new take on those classic flavors, share an order of their Taiwanese Tots. The deep-fried potatoes come out covered in all of those inviting flavors you’d expect from Monkey King’s other dishes, and their fresh toppings like cilantro and green onions provide the aromatics you need to keep digging into this savory sensation.

Whether you need a quick bite after your show or are just looking for a savory treat to wrap up your night (we can’t all be sweets people), a stop into #getfried won’t disappoint. Their range of topped fry basket meals includes everything from classics like Truffle Love, truffle oil, Parmesan and cilantro, to smothered varities like the Oh Canada, covered with savory gravy and cheese curds.

For something a bit hardier, try the Slider Trifecta, cheeseburger, pulled pork and buffalo chicken sliders served on a waffle fry bun. Or to enjoy some sweetness with your salty snacks, order one of their delicious milkshakes before heading back to Southlake. GetFried.com

Celebrate These Three Texas Floral Festivals
S
upposedly, April showers bring May flowers. In Texas, however, there is no such predictability. That said, there are set dates to celebrate the Lone Star State’s brightest wildflowers. Believe it or not, not all are dedicated to the bluebonnet. From azaleas in Tyler to red poppies in Georgetown, the diversity of Texas’ flowers is celebrated a few times over. Then, of course, you cannot bypass the Bluebonnet Festival in Ennis. Chapel Hill, outside of Brenham, claims to have the Official Bluebonnet Festival of Texas, but we decided to give you an option with a shorter drive time. No matter where you go this April, try to take the road less traveled to enjoy all of splendor that our state has to offer.

Ennis Bluebonnet Trails – Ennis
Starting out closest to home, there’s no excuse to miss the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails. From April 1 to April 30, wildflower admirers are invited to see true Texas beauty and get those classic family photos. Ennis showcases over 40 miles of mapped bluebonnet trails with the help of the Ennis Garden Club. The club routinely drives the trails in the weeks leading up to the festival and gives a status report on the blooms so that guests will know when to come and get the most out of their visit. According to the Ennis Garden Club, bluebonnets typically peak during the third week of April. Of course, this varies year to year due to weather conditions. Families and groups are welcome to come out and explore the trails independently. However, garden club expert guides are also ready and able to give

Featuring vendors, arts and crafts, bluebonnet souvenirs, children’s activities and live music, the festival makes for a memorable weekend. Admission is free, so bring the entire family and immerse yourself in the state’s natural beauty. BluebonnetTrail.org
Red Poppy Festival – Georgetown
Just a few miles north of the “Live Musical Capital of the World” sits the “Red Poppy Capital of Texas,” otherwise known as Georgetown. For over 70 years, red poppies have been a dynamic part of the city’s landscape and even grow naturally alongside streets and in vacant lots. The history of these vermillion flowers dates back to World War I. An American Expeditionary Forces soldier, Henry Purl Compton, sent European poppy seeds to his mother, who lived off of Seventh Street in Georgetown. She planted them, and with the help of birds, bees and people, the flower spread across the Old Town district. Now, the city is celebrating its 20th annual Red Poppy Festival. Featuring a variety of live music event, art, shopping and outdoor fun – last year’s festival even had a BMX bike event – the Red Poppy Festival really draws a crowd. This year, Pat Green will headline the Saturday night concert on April 27. It’s free to the public, and guests are encouraged to bring a chair. Poppy.Georgetown.org
Tyler Azalea Trail & Spring Flower Trail – Tyler
Step back in time at Tyler’s Azalea Trail. This 10-mile long trail takes visitors through historic neighborhoods and residential gardens of Tyler. According to Tyler’s visitor bureau, the town’s first azaleas were planted in 1929 by Maurice Shamburger, who set the trend among other neighbors. The flowers continue to have a lasting impact, as Tyler celebrates the town’s blooming history every spring. This year marks the 60th annual Azalea & Spring Flower Trail, which started on March 22 and will run until April 7. There’s still time to make it for the final weekend of festivities. Visitors will be immersed in the quaint culture of the East Texas town from the first greeting of the Azalea Belles. These groups of young ladies serve as Tyler ambassadors along the trails. The Belles, dressed in antebellum gowns will have you feeling like you transported to a different century. The tradition dates back many years, and it is considered a great honor to be chosen as an Azalea Belle. In addition to fun customs and vibrant flowers, the festival is filled with engaging activities such as the Tyler Azalea 10K and 5K run, historic house tours, dance shows and the annual Azalea Quilt Show. If you’re looking for a refreshing change of pace from the Metroplex lifestyle, head east this weekend. VisitTyler. com/AzaleaTrail

‘Hamilton’ Is Here! Experience The Most Entertaining History Lesson At ‘Hamilton: An American Musical’
T
here’s a hip politician in town, one who even makes millennials interested in history! Although he died 215 years ago and never even became president, Alexander Hamilton is the most popular historical figure in the country right now, thanks to “Hamilton: An American Musical.” Written by Grammy, Tony and Emmy winning composer and lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda, this musical is about one of America’s most fascinating Founding Fathers. It became an instant pop culture hit after its Broadway debut starring Miranda as Hamilton, and it won 11 Tony Awards (including Best Musical) and seven Olivier Awards (including Best New Musical). The show also took home the 2016 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album and the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Now it is coming to Dallas for the first time as part of its U.S. tour, where even more people will have the opportunity to hop on the “Hamilton” bandwagon.
Inspired by the 2004 biography “Alexander Hamilton” by historian Ron Chernow, “Hamilton” follows the journey of an immigrant from the West Indies who fought alongside George Washington in the Revolutionary War. He later became the first U.S. Treasury Secretary, developed the nation’s financial system and was an influential part in the creation of the U.S. Constitution. His interesting story — which is also colored with sex scandals, rivalries and plenty of patriotism — is told through the lens of modern-day America, complete with a score that blends hiphop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway showtunes and a cast of diverse backgrounds. There’s a reason everyone is still talking about this show four years after its debut: It’s just that good. If you are lucky enough to score tickets to “Hamilton,” then you have to go. It would be practically un-American to miss it! DETAILS

You Go, GIRL!
Texas-native Maren Morris is returning home this month as part of GIRL: The World Tour
A
few years ago, Maren Morris was just a young girl with a dream to play music at the biggest venue near her hometown: AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Fast forward to today, and this Texas country singer has accomplished that goal — alongside the iconic Taylor Swift — and has established herself as one of the most talented musicians in the genre. Not to mention, she has fallen in love, gotten married and has recently released her sophomore album, “GIRL,” full of inspiring songs that she co-wrote about her life. See her live when she returns home this month to perform at The Bomb Factory as part of her GIRL: The World Tour. Fans will be treated to “GIRL,” “The Bones” and “Common” among other new hits as well as earlier Morris favorites like “Rich” and “80’s Mercedes.” From her golden halo to her powerful lyrics, selfconfidence oozes from Morris. And she deserves it: Morris has been making waves in the industry since her debut album, “HERO,” was released in 2016. She began converting fans immediately when her first hit, “My Church,” broke the record for the most radio stations ever (107) to play a debut single by a country artist. She has also received many awards, including a Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance, the New Artist of the Year title at the 2017 CMA Awards and the Top Country Female Artist award at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. Other career accomplishments include performing and collaborating with some of today’s top artists. In addition to appearing in Taylor Swift’s Reputation Stadium Tour last October, Morris also opened for pop singer and former One Direction member Niall Horan during his Flicker World Tour 2018, and she collaborated with Zedd and Grey in the number one song “The Middle.” With so much already accomplished in her short career, there’s only one thing left for this girl to do: start dreaming even bigger.

Hear him perform his latest album, “Desperate Man,” live this month. Full of powerful songs written or co-written by Church, the introspective album reflects Church’s thoughts on surviving an emergency surgery for a deadly blood clot and performing at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas where a shooter wounded and killed hundreds of people. You can let the world get you down, or you can enjoy your life surrounded by good people and even better music! TEXAS BIG STAR HALF MARATHON AND 5K ON YOUR FEET APRIL 10-14

Learn more about the duo’s inspiring story by seeing “On Your Feet,” a Broadway musical based on the real story of the Estefans. Cheer on this hardworking and talented couple during this play about regular people from Cuba discovering the American dream, featuring famous songs like “Conga,” “Rhythm is Gonna Get You” and “Get On Your Feet.” They’ll be moving their sequined hips on stage, and you’ll be moving your feet from the audience!

APRIL 13 FRISCO | Most people run for themselves, to get fit, relieve stress or boost their mood. But this month, try running for others instead! The Texas Big Star Half Marathon and 5K is not only a great opportunity to enjoy the lovely spring weather, but it’s also a chance to give back. Proceeds benefit the North Texas Community Giving Foundation, which supports local nonprofit organizations. Since the event started four years ago, almost $200,000 has been donated to more than 30 different organizations that help veterans, individuals with disabilities, animals, young people, domestic violence victims and others. After the run, you’ll enjoy the Finisher Fest party and award ceremony (including cash prizes) even more knowing that you helped people in need. CHELSEA HANDLER APRIL 18 MAJESTIC THEATRE | America is divided: People either really love or really hate Chelsea Handler. If you are one of the former, then catch her live when she stops by Dallas during her Sit-Down Comedy Tour to promote her latest book, “Life Will Be the Death of Me.” This blonde comedian, author and activist rose to fame when she hosted “Chelsea Lately” on E! from 2007-2014. She was also behind the Netflix talk show, “Chelsea,” wrote five books on the “New York Times” best seller list (four at number one) and has been recognized on numerous occasions for her passionate support of various political issues. She’s funny, crude, honest, relatable and, most of all, she cares. Even if you aren’t a fan, you should still see the show & in between laughs, you might just learn something.

This multitalented man is also an actor — he appeared in “Blockers” and “Bumblebee” among other films — and a philanthropist who gives his support to many various causes. Hear Cena speak at Winspear Opera House this month! He will talk about his work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, he is the only celebrity in the organization’s history to grant 500 wishes; his work with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, for which he raised more than $1.6 million for breast cancer research and awareness; and his support of the U.S. military, earning him the USO Metro’s 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award.

TWELFTH NIGHT THROUGH APRIL 28 WYLY THEATRE | Although it was written in the 1600s, “Twelfth Night” is still delightfully entertaining today! The Dallas Theater Center is presenting one of the most famous comedies written by William Shakespeare this month, which is about Viola, a woman separated from her twin in a shipwreck and stranded on Illyria. What follows is a hilarious adventure that involves Viola dressing as a man to get work and then falling in love with her employer — who doesn’t know Viola’s secret and also wants her help in pursuing another woman. With more drama than reality TV (and much better acting), “Twelfth Night” is one of the mustsee shows of the season! ‘A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD’ MAY 10-11 CARROLL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL | Carroll Theater presents “A Year With Frog and Toad,” a play that celebrates the beauty of differences and serves as a reminder that our uniqueness is what makes us wonderful.

This Broadway hit delights audiences of all ages. There will be three shows: one on May 10 at 7 p.m. and two on May 11, at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Each show is followed by character meet and greet.

new department . . GARDENER: CALLOWAY’S SOUTHLAKE MANAGER BREAKS DOWN SPRING GARDENING TRENDS WHAT’S THE BIGGEST GARDENING MISCONCEPTION THAT YOU CAN THINK OF? Thinking one needs a lot of experience or knowledge to be successful at gardening. All that is required for success is a desire. At Calloway’s, our goal is to help people be successful by providing the best products, plants and information they need. We want everyone to be a success at gardening.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE SOME BIG 2019 GARDENING TRENDS? This year, the horticulture industry is trending back to the “roots” of gardening with simple concepts for beginners and green thumbs alike. People do spend more time indoors these days. Houseplants that are easy to grow, clean the air, and bring the outdoors in. Also, outdoor plants that attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees are very popular.
ARE THERE ANY PLANTS THAT ARE HAVING A MOMENT THIS YEAR? A current trend is for plants and flowers that will last through the Texas heat. Flowers include Begonias, Vincas (Periwinkle) and Supertunias (a petunia that can tolerate heat and sun). A variety of plants include Sunshine Ligustrum, Abelia and Perennial Hibiscus. Ornamental grasses include Mexican feather grass, purple fountain grass and pink muhly grass for adding texture and low maintenance.

Ginger Collins WHAT’S A SMALL CHANGE SOMEONE CAN MAKE THAT WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT? Small changes that make a big difference include adding a water feature such as a fountain surrounded at the base with a variety of plants. Also, having pots of different shapes, color and size. Planting them with bold colors or lush greenery can make a huge impact in any size yard. Planted pots are also a great way to add interest to any porch or patio. No yard required.
HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTERESTED IN GARDENING? I got interested in gardening in my early 20s. I planted my first flowers and have been hooked ever since. I love the satisfaction of working in my yard; I find it therapeutic and relaxing. It is very gratifying to see immediate results from my work.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE A FIRSTTIME GARDENER? First, preparation is key to starting out. Know where you want to plant and remove any weeds or unwanted plants already there. Nothing is worse than purchasing beautiful flowers and plants and getting home and realizing you have a lot of work to do before you can even start planting. Second, gardening should be fun and rewarding. Stay with easyto-grow and care-for plants. Experiment with different styles and textures until you find what works best for you and your lifestyle.

e have finally arrived at that brief window of time in which the Texas weather makes patio lounging possible. Soak it up while you can. Soon, the summer heat will have us sequestered in our air-conditioned spaces. Maybe you’ve been putting off the task of sweeping old leaves off of your outdoor décor because you know there’s not much better underneath. Whether your patio furniture needs updating or your entire backyard could use a facelift, we’re here with some fun tips on how to reinvigorate your outdoor spaces just in time for spring.
BLURRED LINES You may have noticed it more and more at contemporary restaurants and coffee shops, but it’s hitting homes as well. The lines between inside and outside are becoming blurred. Whether employing large, folding walls or an extended overhang, back patios are evolving into an indoor/outdoor space. This allows homeowners to mix traditional patio furniture with interior coffee tables or other accents. The options are endless, so have fun with it!
SHINE BRIGHT We may seem five years late on this one, but if you have yet to install string lights somewhere in your backyard, now is the time. This is possibly the most affordable way to make your yard or patio a cozy place where friends and family will happily gather. For a more inviting environment go for a warm glow rather than iridescent bulbs. String lights also do well strung up from trees and pergolas, but can easily be draped from the rafters of an overhang. Nothing makes for a better at-home date than a glass of wine and a charcuterie plate shared on a cool evening underneath string lights. SPA SPACE Even if you already have a pool, we still highly recommend incorporating water features into your landscaping. Keep in mind that all water features should have circulating, moving water rather than allowing stagnant water to gather. Your family and neighbors would not appreciate your backyard turning into a mosquito oasis. With this in mind, look beyond the typical, and arguably outdated, koi ponds. Instead, install a stand alone waterfall into a nearby flower bed. This will keep the water moving in a relatively low maintenance way in addition to adding a relaxing, ambient sound to your outdoors.
