The Power of Bald About this time of the year we start to see lots of men and women all of the sudden appear with freshly shorn heads...and you might ask why? I know I did several years ago when I was first exposed to the St. Baldrick’s foundation.

They are an amazing non-profit organization who raises money to help find a cure for pediatric cancer.

Typically their “shave” events happen around St. Patrick’s day in the very early Spring. Participants set a fundraising goal and get to work raising money. The payoff is if they reach their goal, they will shave their heads at a St. Baldrick’s event.

I started participating in these events three years ago and now have a great time growing out my hair (and my beard) and seeing how much money I can raise to get shaved down...clean as a whistle.

The funds raised are used for research grants throughout the country and even right here in the Denver Metro area. In fact, I’ve met several children whose treatments are available because of grants received from St. Baldrick’s. It’s pretty cool to look into the eyes of a young child and know that you helped bring them one step closer to

being rid of this terible disease.

Right now my event is looking for “shavees” to participate. It is a fantastic experience and we have an incredible time. So take a quick look in the mirror at your hair then mark your calendar for April 23rd. That is the day where dozens and dozens of us will gather at the Vehicle Vault in Parker for the 4th annual SHAVE THE MAYOR St. Baldrick’s fundraising event.

It’s easy to sign up and to participate. Simply go online to shavethemayor.com and click the blue “GET SHAVED” button to sign up. After you set a goal, reach out to all your friends and family and ask for their financial help.

If you are not up to going bald for this great cause, then consider heading over to the same website and making a donation of any size. If you are not sure which of our participants to donate to, then look up my profile. I actually have two of them there...one if you want me to shave my head but KEEP my beard and one to shave my head AND my beard. Since my beard is about 5 inches long, there is a lot on the line.

Seriously though, this is an incredible way for you to help our community and the world around us. These kids going through treatment have no choice in losing their hair...but we do...and we have the choice to help them find a cure.

Have a great March everyone and let’s get bald togather!

DR.DANFORtoday We Reap What We Sow in Marriage The warm weather reminds me of spring. It is a time to plan and prepare for vegetable and flower gardens and planting for a good harvest takes time. There are many things to consider; placement of the plant, the makeup, temperature and moisture of the soil, the length of daily sunlight and the type of plants. Most gardeners have a plan for all these before they beginning planting. Gardeners are well aware they will “reap what they sow.”

Marriages are like gardens in that similar principles apply. Everyone wants a happy, satisfying marriage; however, it takes work and the planting of “good seed.”

There is a law of physics that is applicable to relationships and speaks directly to this dilemma in marriage. It is the Second Law of Thermodynamics called “Entropy.” This principle maintains that it takes energy (or heat) to grow a system like a marriage and if left to itself without the regular infusion of energy, it tends toward greater randomness and can break down and collapse. It takes an ordered input of energy to keep anything together. We must exercise, eat well and drink liquids to keep

Good marriages take time and the understanding of the different seasons where love, purpose, commitment, patience and perseverance are all needed. A growing marital love also must follow a basic rule that affects all of our lives -”We reap what we sow.”

Studies of relationship development indicate that factors such as poor communication, problem-solving skills and dissatisfaction with other interactions, when present pre-martially or early in marriage, can predict the development of relationship distress later in marriage.

Couples can allow an insidious passivity to lull them into complacency regarding their marriages. This leads to dissatisfaction.

MARCH 2016

Everyone wants a satisfying marriage, but few are willing to learn and commit to what it takes to bring about a happy relationship.

Marital satisfaction necessitates intentional involvement. One does not get good at anything without practicing. In other words, a happy, growing, intimate marriage is not a “state of being” but rather a “process of doing.”

in good physical condition. We must also put energy into our marriages for them to be intimate and growing. If no energy is expended on the relationship, it eventually atrophies either to the point of needing an overhaul or it dies of neglect. It is a wise couple who continually invests in their marriage, rather than waiting for it to fall apart and then have to seek a complete overhaul.

Individuals don’t just “fall out of love,” they starve themselves out of love. A quote in the Readers Digest summarizes my point, “Even if marriages are made in heaven, men and women have to be responsible

ASK DR. DAN 9 SEARCH LONE TREE MAGAZINE

for the maintenance.” This includes maintaining our marriages through the processes of loving, respecting, nourishing and cherishing each other.

As the season of spring approaches, I am reminded of an experience I had several years ago when I discovered that approximately one-third of my lawn was inhabited by “bind weed.” One sunny Saturday morning, armed with hand tools and garbage bags, I went to work. By Sunday afternoon I had not only taken care of the dreaded “bind weed,” but also half of my front lawn as every tiny weed was picked out. Proud of my efforts, I called a landscaper friend who, upon hearing of my weekend project, instructed me that “bind weed” couldn’t be eliminated unless all the roots were either dug up or the lawn resodded. He told me that if I spend more time fertilizing and watering my lawn and less time on the weeds, then just maybe I could build up the root system of the lawn and choke out the weeds.

The analogy is a great one for marriage. The more time spent nurturing the relationship, the more the roots of the relationship become strong, mature and intimate. Sowing good seed in marriage begins by knowing our partner’s love languages and daily spending time loving them as they want to receive love rather than the way we want to love them.

This principle of “Sowing and Reaping” is a basic truth for a good harvest and the building of a strong and blessed marriage.

Douglas County Libraries

Into Literacy Douglas County Libraries (DCL) is bringing books and reading to kids in two exciting ways this spring.

Battle of the Books competition has begun, and will ultimately involve 600 students from 40 local elementary schools in quiz-style trivia contests that test students’ knowledge of books and authors. Teams from all regions of the Douglas County School District will face off at battles at Douglas County Libraries in Castle Rock, (Philip S. Miller branch), Highlands Ranch (James H. LaRue branch), and Parker, leading up to a March 16 Battle of the Books finale at Parker Arts Culture and Events Center (PACE).

Students in grades three through six began reading and preparing for battles last fall. This year’s book list includes classics such as “Dear Mr. Henshaw” (Beverly Cleary), “How to Eat Fried Worms” (Thomas Rockwell), and “Hoot” (Carl Hiaasen), and requires students to dig beneath the stories’ surfaces for details that might otherwise be overlooked.

to Stage, children’s theater based on literature, in schools across the county. This year’s traveling production of “Red Riding Hood” will reach Kindergarten through fifth graders in more than 40 elementary schools. “Red Riding Hood” is the hilariously entertaining result of a library partnership with the Front Range Theatre Company, located in Castle Rock. Free public performances will also be held at Douglas County Libraries locations beginning in April.

Page to Stage and Battle of the Books help the library district kick off and promote its annual summer reading program, which furthers the goals of both libraries and schools by making kids excited to read.

with Pam & Becky

The Perfume Collector By Kathleen Tessaro Grace Monroe unexpectedly learns of an inheritance, left to her by a woman she has never heard of. Although she has numerous questions, she is eager to fly to Paris and take a break from London and her unfulfilling marriage. As she investigates this mystery, we are drawn into her life, as well as her French benefactor and the world of famous perfumers of the time.

PAM I was drawn into this story from the beginning. You know

how much I love a story that takes us between different times and characters! Grace Munroe and Eva d’Orsey were very different women with different struggles. But, the author wove the different plots together in a way that kept me entranced the entire book. Did you enjoy this pick, Becky?

BECKY It was hard for me to put this book down and it has a spot on my favorite book list. This tale starts in Paris, 1954 and we are given a small glimpse of Eva d’Orsey. The next chapter moves a year forward and introduces us to Grace. The author did a great job at giving the different characters a specific voice and planting a seed of mystery. As the book progresses with the story of Eva, we meet some quirky characters. Did you enjoy this cast?

PAM I did! I agree with you, Becky. This is a favorite and one of the reasons is the quirky and eccentric characters we meet throughout this story. Between the different storylines, the characters, the mysteries and secrets, I was entranced the entire time. When we first meet Grace, she is struggling to find her place in the social group she is expected to join. Her interests and goals do not match most of the other women she encounters in this group. How did you feel about this first glimpse of Grace?

PAM I did enjoy the way the author brought the two stories

together. At first, Grace’s desire to solve the mystery of the inheritance was a bother to Edouard. But, he was a gentleman and took his job to assist Grace seriously. He also became intrigued with the secrets of the case and began to enjoy working with Grace.

How did you feel about Edouard’s character?

BECKY She wasn’t overly concerned with the latest fashion, didn’t enjoy climbing the social ladder and wanted to find a job. That made her an anomaly in that group but so much more relatable and endearing to me. Her husband, however, wanted her to shine in this area. What did you think of this guy?

BECKY He doesn’t have a large roll but I liked this character. He is a serious man but we soon see a softer side to him. If there was a sequel I would like to see him in a larger role. The most fascinating part of this book is the art of perfuming. The author did an amazing job painting the scene for this process. I could almost smell the materials that she described. Would you ever consider going to a perfumer to create your own scent? Wouldn’t that be a fun book club event?

PAM I truly disliked his character from the start. He was trying

PAM What a fun idea. We could make our signature bookends

to make Grace into what he wanted and didn’t even know her, let alone respect her. I agree with you, Becky; she was much more relatable. She wanted to be loved and respected and her husband was very selfish and self centered. Grace receives a letter about a mysterious inheritance. She has never heard of Eva d’Orsey, but is being asked to travel to Paris to meet with her attorneys. Grace decides to take this leap and her adventure begins. Did you think she would accept this meeting in a different country?

MARCH 2016

Upon her arrival in Paris she meets Edouard Tissot who will help her with the terms of her inheritance.

He is eager to complete this transaction but Grace wants to do more than just collect the money from this mysterious woman. Did you like the way the author wove the two stories together? Some reviews find this story to be a bit predictable.

BECKY She leaves for Paris within the first 40 pages of the book so we don’t know her well at this point but I found it unusual to do something so extravagant. Airplane travel in the 1950’s is not how we view it in our lives. It was exclusive and expensive but she received the ticket right after she has an unpleasant discovery involving her husband. The thought of running from what was happening in her life helped this unique opportunity make sense.

scent! It would be interesting to see if I am able to pick out the different layers of scent in a sample. The author’s descriptions really made the perfumes come alive and I could almost smell them. I had never considered the artistry (and natural gift) necessary to create original scents. It would be fascinating to see this in process and connect the specific smells with the descriptions. Would you read another book by this author, Becky?

BECKY I would definitely be interested in another story, or two,

by Kathleen. It’s time to say goodbye to this story and move on to My Enemy’s Cradle by Sara Young. We will meet cousins Cyrla and Anneke during Hitler’s regime. Cyrla is hiding her Jewish heritage and Anneke an unexpected pregnancy.

LOCALAUTHORSPOTLIGHT The Clouds Aren’t White By Rachael Wright “Its all over in a moment...”

At the start of a hot September day, Emmeline MacArthur has it all, a devoted husband, a spunky daughter, and a comfortable life, but as the day draws to a close and three shots ring out from an old handgun, Emmeline is left with nothing but heartbreak.

A widow with a fatherless child. Overwhelmed by grief, Emmeline uproots her daughter and takes a job in Scotland, on the Isle of Skye. An idyllic life is not what awaits Emmeline as she confronts her daughter’s pain, a new romance, and another tragedy which lies just around the corner.

The Clouds Aren’t White probes the essence of sacrifice, motherhood, and grief.

Can’t Ruffle This Feather By Angela Feather-Bushi Sometimes God has to ruffle your feathers so you can spread your wings and fly. In 1994, fresh out of college, Angie Feather embarked on a journey around the world as a teacher and missionary in order to discover herself as God created her to be.

Many people struggle with loneliness. They want to serve God and desire to be married. As a result, they often settle for less than God’s will in the choice between ministry or marriage. The purpose of this book is to share one woman’s struggle to hear God’s call. It tracks her from country to country through a kidnapping, two arrests, interrogation, food poisonings, being stalked, and having a foster daughter, until she eventually marries at thirty-seven years old.

Nicole had been holding on to a lot of old negative energy and didn’t fully realize how it had been affecting her life. She had lost two loved ones and was not working through the emotions of those losses. She started having nightmares that were so bad that she was afraid to go to sleep. Nicole was hiding from her family and unable to control her sadness; she would cry for no reason outside of her home.

She would lose patience quickly with her son and she felt like she just could not handle it anymore.

13 SEARCH LONE TREE MAGAZINE

Nicole called her doctor who gave her a referral for therapy and a prescription for medication. After a while the medication and therapy were not helping. She began to have trouble functioning during the day because of the side effects of the medication. Nicole says, “I was tired of failing my son and myself.”

Nicole’s mother introduced her to an integrative healing modality called Reiki and she decided to search out a practitioner in her area. After searching online, she found a business close to her home that offered Reiki. The Reiki professionals were so helpful; she felt that they knew exactly what she was in need of in order to feel better.

With Reiki treatments, Nicole could feel a change coming over her, which felt like years of heaviness, sadness, stress and guilt being lifted.

Nicole had been in therapy off and on since she was a young child but she claims that no one and nothing has helped her like receiving Reiki sessions. Nicole says that she started feeling better and having more courage after just one session. She offers the following advice for those who might be struggling with life’s emotional battles: “Don’t wait to try a different approach like Reiki because the only thing I would have done differently is to call and schedule a Reiki treatment sooner! I would recommend the Reiki Practitioners at Shen Healing Center to anyone going through anything from sadness, pain and/or diseases.”

A Real Life Reiki Story

F

irst of all, what in the world is Reiki? Reiki is a simple, yet powerful healing technique originating in Japan about a century ago. Soft light, calming aromas and soothing music will be the start of your energy healing session. As you drift into a relaxed state by the practitioner’s laying of hands (on and off your body), you start to feel your body becoming lighter and lighter. You might see colors, feel warmth or an overwhelming sense of well-being.

As you leave your session, you feel peaceful, clear and balanced.

Reiki is now being performed in homes, hospitals, and hospices all over the world as well as professional office spaces around the Denver Metro Area including Castle Rock.

The benefits of Reiki are many. This integrative healing technique can reduce stress, relieve pain, promote the body’s innate ability to heal and also help people overcome emotional blocks that greatly reduce the quality of their lives. In a nutshell, Reiki can benefit people on all levels: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. The following is a powerful story of success from a woman who was not sure what could help her overcome her life’s struggles.
