Letter From The

Ok, ok .... I’m a little nervous! Sunday June 13 is our first NuYou Expo. The Summer “Health, Fitness, Beauty, Fashion Experience” will take place at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater and I’m hoping we get a good turnout! The venue is beautiful and easy to find ... we have vendors that are anxious to show you their products and services ... we have a fashion show booked featuring two local designers ... we have seminars booked so you can ask the experts questions ... we have numerous door prizes ... and tickets are only $5 per person! Doors will open at noon and close at 6:00 pm. Everybody who enters will receive a goodie bag and will have a chance to win one of our many door prizes. If you have questions, or want to squeeze in as a vendor, give us a call at 813-814-1505. Well, Summer is here complete with the humid conditions and afternoon thundershowers. It was strange because we really didn’t have any kind of Spring season at all. It went from Winter to Summer all in a couple of weeks! The experts are saying this will be a very active hurricane season so make sure you have everything ready in your household. Next month, NuYou will have articles that discuss hurricane preparation and tips. Let’s hope we will not need any of that information here in 2010. June 20th is Father’s day and you don’t want to forget the “Old Man”. A lot of people seem to take Father’s Day lightly, but they always make a big deal out of Mother’s Day. I know that it’s easy to say “I love you” to your mom and it’s much harder to say those same words to your Dad (especially if you are a man) but those three little words mean a lot! No matter how big and tough your Father is, he still likes to know that he’s loved by his children and family. That said, Happy Father’s Day Dad ... I Love You!!! I also want to send birthday wishes out to my son Paul and my granddaughter Ashlynn this month. My beautiful wife Tracy and I will celebrate our Anniversary on June 8th as well. Please have a great June and I hope to see you at Ruth Eckerd Hall on Sunday afternoon June 13 for the NuYou Summer Health, Fitness, Beauty, Fashion Experience!

The summer sun gives us a lot of wonderful things, light, tans, warmth, and great days at the beaches. But one thing that isn’t so wonderful is skin damage. We all know that we must wear sunscreen to prevent skin damage from occurring. But what if you are like the majority of people and baked in the sun over the years with little to no sunscreen, and now the sun damage has already occurred? Well there are many treatments available to people that already have sun damage but I have seen the most success with the Elos eMax Triniti® Triniti® works with laser, radio frequency, and intense pulsed light (IPL). The Triniti®is superior to other machines I have worked with because of the combinations of energy used on the skin. Not only does Triniti® improve sun damage on the skin but it also reduces the appearance of wrinkles, varicose/ spider veins, and acne. The Triniti® treatment is effective on all areas of the body. The Triniti® is my favorite modality of treating skin conditions not only for the reasons previously stated but because there is no down time for my patients. Like all skin procedures the Triniti® does require a series of treatments to obtain optimal results. Zehra Clinic is proud to bring these medical advances to the Tampa Bay area. The clinic is located at 13630 W. Hillsborough Ave. in Tampa, right outside of Oldsmar. To schedule a consultation call Zehra Clinic at 813.854.5050. Visit them online at www.zehraclinic.com.

nuYou Legal Eagle SUING A SPORTS DRINK Last year, the Coca-Cola Company was served notice of a class action lawsuit alleging deceptive and unsubstantiated claims on its VitaminWater line of beverages. Coke markets its “VitaminWater” product as a healthful alternative to soda by labeling its several flavors with health attributes including “defense,” “rescue,” “energy,” and “endurance.” The company makes a wide range of dramatic claims, including that its drinks variously reduce the risk of chronic disease, reduce the risk of eye disease, promote healthy joints, and support optimal immune function. But nutritional experts assert that the 33 grams of sugar in each bottle of VitaminWater do more to promote obesity, diabetes, and other health problems than the vitamins in the drinks do to perform the advertised benefits listed on the bottles. VitaminWater’s website, marketing copy, and labels claim that VitaminWater is healthy, claiming, for example, that “balance cran-grapefruit” has “bioactive components” that promote “healthy, pain-free functioning of joints, structural integrity of joints and bones” and that the nutrients in “power-c dragonfruit” “enable the body to exert physical power by contributing to the structural integrity of the musculoskeletal system.” While it is true that vitamins do play various roles in the human body, the lawsuit accuses Coke of fraud because the statements on VitaminWater labels unfairly exceed the “structure/ function claims” allowed by the Food and Drug Administration. Moreover, VitaminWater contains between zero and one percent juice, despite the full names of the drinks, which include “endurance peach mango” and “focus kiwi strawberry,” and “xxx blueberry pomegranate acai,” among others. A press release for the “xxx” drink claims its antioxidants makes the drinker “last longer”

in some unspecified way; in any event, it has no blueberry, Jeffrey “Jack” Gordon is a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer practicing pomegranate, or in the areas of Medical Malpractice, acai juice, nor do Personal Injury and Wrongful Death. the others have any He is rated “AV Preeminent” by cranberry, grapefruit, Martindale-Hubbell. dragon fruit, peach, He can be reached by e-mail at: Jack@ManeyGordon.com. mango, kiwi, or strawberry juice. According to documents filed in 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Coke acknowledged that “obesity and other health concerns may reduce demand for some of [its] products,” and that “increasing public awareness” about health experts’ concerns over sugarsweetened beverage could affect the company’s profitability. That year, Coke acquired VitaminWater’s parent company, Glaceau. Also in 2007, Coke and its partner Nestlé were sued over an artificially sweetened green-teabased drink called Enviga. The companies claim Enviga burns more calories than it consumes, resulting in weight loss—a claim that nutritional experts say is not supported by the small number of studies on the drink’s ingredients. “Coke fears, probably correctly, that they’ll sell less soda as Americans become increasingly concerned with obesity, diabetes, and other conditions linked to diets too high in sugar,” said Steve Gardner, a litigation director and consumer advocate. “VitaminWater is Coke’s attempt to dress up soda in a physician’s white coat. Underneath, it’s still sugar water, albeit sugar water that costs about ten bucks a gallon.” VitaminWater typically retails for about $1.49 for a 20-ounce bottle. My advice to consumers is to get your vitamins from real food rather than supplements and sports drinks. It’ll be better for your wallet and your body.

If your head is pounding and you don’t have any aspirin available, try these tips .... rub the two points on either side of your vertebrae at the nape of your neck (right below the ridges at the base of your skull). Another thing that may help is massaging the webbed area on the top of your left hand, between your thumb and forefinger. Last but not least ... if you can, lie down in a cool, dark room and place a wet towel on your forehead.

Now that you are wearing shorts and bathing suits every day, its time to do something about those ugly varicose veins. Did you know that if you apply ground coffee beans topically on your legs, it can help tighten blood vessels and make those veins less noticeable? The caffeine in the beans help redistribute fat cells and decrease the look of cellulite. Mix 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of ground coffee and 3/4 cup of olive oil. Massage the mixture over your legs in the shower and you should notice a difference in about two weeks. A study done by the Mayo Clinic suggested that women who enjoy one glass of wine a day are 54% less likely to gain weight! It also said that people who consume seven alcoholic beverages in a week have a 29% lower risk of kidney troubles. To maximize the benefits, choose red wine as it contains resveratrol and cyanidin, antioxidants that inhibit fat storage.

Unlike other vitamin’s, vitamin D is actually a hormone. It is produced by your skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight. It is nearly impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet thus you need some type of direct sunlight. People with darker skin pigmentation need more sunlight exposure than those people with light skin. It is impossible to generate too much vitamin D as your body will self-regulate and only generate what it needs. Make sure you don’t overexpose yourself, as too much direct sun can cause skin cancer.

HEALTHY TIPS!

If you use a retinol cream, make sure you apply it right before you go to bed. Retinol is sensitive to sunlight and works best when your body is at rest. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A and stimulates collagen production. It will help those tiny lines in your forehead, neck and chest disappear! I know that sodas taste great but a new Loyola University study suggests that people who drink two or more sodas per day have double the risk of kidney problems compared to people who don’t drink them at all. The high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is the culprit. Surveys show that HFCS often contain traces of mercury and that hinders kidney function. Darker sodas also contain phosphoric acid that also hurts kidney function. If you must drink sodas, try clear, diet soda which are free of both HFCS and phosphoric acids.

Do you like the taste of mushrooms? These little fungi are packed with amazing health benefits. White button mushrooms suppress an enzyme called aromatase that is linked to certain cancers. They also reduce excess estrogen and can help prevent breast cancer .... Shiitake mushrooms are full of kojic acid which reduces the buildup of melanin and prevents age spots. They also stimulate new stem cell growth .... Portobello mushrooms can help you lose weight and they are packed with potassium .... Oyster mushrooms are jammedpacked with ergothioneine an antioxidant that reduces plaque build-up in your arteries!

LOVE IS IN THE HAIR!

by Debi Cianci

Do you think your hair needs REHAB???? There are all types of hair and all ages of hair. You just can’t wear the same hair style as you did 10 years ago. The texture, fullness and quality of your hair changes as you grow older .... just like your skin and the rest of your body. Growing older is not a bad thing and it sure beats the alternative! We all need to change from time to time ... people change their clothing styles, get glasses or colored contacts and change their hair style and color! Sometimes you can make a very little change that will cause a big difference. Try bangs on your forehead for a new look or bring your length up a little bit. These are simple changes that can make you look and feel like a new person. If you want to do more, add texture into your hair or find a completely new style. Getting a couple of hi—lites will always make you look more youthful, even if you have very dark hair. Just make sure your stylist uses a toner that is maybe 3 or 4 shades lighter then your hair. As styles go from California to New York, fuller hair is in! Different colors are the number one thing. It doesn’t matter if you’re a blonde, brunette or redhead, mixing colors works for everybody! Hilow levels of blondes, hi-low levels of reds and even hi-low levels of browns can all be mixed together to create a young, fun, look. Having all different colors of the same tone in your hair will make it look fuller and add more drama in your style. But remember you can’t have great hair color without an up to date hair style, hence rehab for your hair!

Now let’s talk about the new type of hair extensions .... the look of hair extensions is amazing. Now they have the “clip-on” extensions from long to short hair. Also the pony tail is back in style and you can add extra hair on your pony tail from straight to curly types. Another great idea is using the clip-on to add length to your hair. It’s all fashion and fun! Just make sure you use 100% human hair. There are other mixes of hair that contain plastic and if you use a curling iron on it you can easily burn the plastic hair. Remember ... cheap hair looks like cheap hair. If you keep reinventing yourself you will look and think younger. If your hair looks good, you feel good and so different about yourself. Confidence is important and the right hair can help you feel great! Even men feel the same way. Everybody likes getting their hair cut and it is great to have that swing and bouncy feeling again. For the girls with curly, frizzy hair I feel for you .... our humid weather is here and controlling the frizz is a diﬃcult thing to do. Please don’t blow dry or flat iron your hair to death. Try using a little more product on your hair and use your curls as a plus. Try taking some curls around your face and pin them up so your hair is not as full around your face and fuller at the length. But when you just can’t handle it any more put it up in a clip and let some small curls go wild around your face. I want to end this month’s column with this note .... don’t be afraid of trying something new, hair will grow back. Just don’t go extreme and do things a little at a time. Have a wonderful month and I hope to see you at the NuYou Expo on Sunday, June 13th at Ruth Eckerd Hall!

ASK  Dear Mariah, I am a 23 year old college student and have some friends that are getting Botox. I thought that was for treated wrinkles when you are older, and I think it’s crazy to put that stuff in your face when you don’t need it. What are your thoughts? Botox Betty

Dear Botox Betty, Great question! This is something I have to face daily. I have been getting Botox routinely since I was 24. So many people say, ‘but you are so young you don’t need Botox!’ Well they are incorrectly informed. Botox does treat wrinkles; however it is intended for prevention of wrinkles. If you have a piece of paper and you fold it makes a crease right? Well what if you never fold the paper…would there ever be a crease? Botox should be used in a combination therapy with proper skin care to prevent wrinkles from ever coming. It is safe and affordable, but buyer beware. Botox is advertised all over in ways to get you sucked in. Botox should be sold per unit not per cc. It is mixed with a 2 to 1 ratio; 2cc of preservative free saline and 1 unit of Botox. The scam is that people charge you really low prices for 50 cc’s of Botox but you could in fact only be getting 2 to 5 units of actual Botox, so you’re getting taken advantage of. These fly by night dentists, mall kiosks, and random providers that are giving these “great deals” can also make a great mess of your face. The price for Botox should be $10 to $12 dollars per unit, and should only be done in an office by a licensed, trained professional. If you’re thinking of starting to get Botox for prevention, I would think 15 to 25 units is a good start, but always sit down and have this conversation with your physician before letting them bring the needle anywhere near your face. There may be other areas that may need to be treated but NEVER be forced into extra Botox that you do not need. I hope this helps and remember its prevention of wrinkles before it should be used for treatment of wrinkles. Mariah Fox Patient Advocate nuYou Magazine

10 Years, 10 Reasons

1-800 LaserHair 10 Year Success Story

5.The lasers being used in their facility are actual state of the art lasers-that are and well taken care of, and properly maintained. They are not using IPLs for hair removal and pretending to use a laser. “The best equipment contributes to the best results “ states Peritore 6.Their motto is “safety first”. Even after ten years of providing laser services, they have no record of injury. “We always perform a thorough medical exam before deciding if a patient is a laser candidate.” 7.They provide a comfortable atmosphere and have a friendly staff. There are no pushy sales people, or snooty attitudes. “We like to have fun here. What’s the point of a negative attitude?” Peritore remarks. 8.They offer a variety of payment options. They customize pricing according to the individual needs of each patient. Financing is available, and they offer discounts for laser packages that are pre-paid for. 9.They are conveniently located in the Clearwater-Countryside area which is easily accessible to the entire Tampa Bay area. “We tried to choose a very central location.” 10.They encourage their customers to share their laser success stories with friends and family. “Word of mouth is where most of our patients come from, which we feel says a lot about our clinic. Successful clinic equals successful results which provide happy customers. It’s a full circle” says Peritore.

6 7 8 9 10 There are several reasons for success in a business. 1800-Laser Hair is a business located in Clearwater that performs laser services including laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, and laser skin resurfacing. They have been a successful business for over 10 years now. With all of the random laser clinics in the Tampa Bay area that have opened and then closed within a year or two, what is making this one different? What is contributing to the success of this clinic? Well, we asked and we have some answers. Ten answers… 1.They provide services on an individual basis. It is always a customized treatment in every aspect. Because everyone that walks into their clinic is different from the next, it is their belief to treat them as individuals. “We always cater to the needs of the customer” replies Nancy Peritore of 1-800-Laser Hair. 2.1-800-LaserHair is and always has been a laser clinic. There is not a huge amount of other services they provide. They are not a medi -spa or a dental oﬃce that just decided to get a laser. 3.They only have laser technicians that are well trained and very experienced. In fact the laser tech with the least amount of experience there has been working as a laser tech for over four years. 4.They believe in educating their patients about the services they are receiving. “Without proper knowledge, results may lack” states Peritore. There are several things to be aware of when getting laser treatments and if the consumer is unaware of these things, safety and results can come into question.

“From the 17th century to the present, denim has been woven, used and discarded; made into upholstery, pants and awnings; found in museums, attics, antique stores and archaeological digs; worn as the fabric of hard honest work, and as the expression of angry rebellion; used for the sails of Columbus’ ships in legend; and worn by American cowboys in fact ... Today, LS&CO. employees wear Levi’s® jeans to work. Looking back, we see that the very first people to wear Levis® jeans worked with pick and shovel, and though our tools are computer keyboard, PDA and cell phone, we have both been moved to wear the same thing each and every work day: denim jeans. Born in Europe, denim’s function and adaptable form found a perfect home in untamed America with the invention of jeans; then, as now, denim makes our lives easier by making us comfortable; and gives us a little bit of history every time we put it on.” A SHORT HISTORY OF DENIM © -2007 Lynn Downey Levi Strauss & Co. Historian Whether you call them; blue jeans, dungarees or Levi’s everyone owns a pair of their favorite jeans. I call them wonderful. Other descriptive words used to describe favorite denim pants; skinny jeans, comfy jeans, boyfriend jeans, anytime jeans, faded jeans, the list is endless. This durable cotton fabric needs little or no ironing, forms to your body and gets softer with age and use. How can you go wrong? You get a stain? Call it lived in; a tear? Call it chic. The above quote educated me on the history of denim and how long it’s been a part of the American culture. From hand me downs to our first pair of new jeans, once we find our favorite pair we are hooked. Hooked for life, babies can wear elastic waist plain bottoms, juniors wear low rise embellished boot cut jeans and seniors can wear a more relaxed fit version making it ageless. If you are fortunate enough to work in an oﬃce environment that allows you to wear jeans every day, take advantage and wear the most comfortable favorite pair of jeans you own. Like Olga Konstantinova does (see her photos), speaking of her jeans, “My skinny jeans are my favorite pair ever! The material is very soft and has stretch, so the jeans fit me perfectly.” If you have a strict dress code at work, perhaps you can take advantage of casual Friday in the workplace. Most companies observe the professional dress code Monday through Thursday and on Friday relax their dress requirements. “It is more relaxed and puts you in that weekend kind of mood. I don’t have to go home and change to go out afterwards. Since I don’t have to take them to the cleaners it’s one less expense,” commented Sandra Hagstron who looks forward casual Friday’s. Professional clothing has its place such as in the courtroom or board room. However, you can incorporate a splash of denim by carrying your laptop in a denim bag as shown in the photo. For those who must wear that kind of clothing during the workweek that must be hand washed, pressed or dry cleaned; you can look forward to the end of the day or weekend to live in the most forgiving fabric on earth.

DENIM, IT’S BECOME A WAY OF LIFE

Young people are tough on their clothes and as a mother of an avid skate boarder; I have seen my fair share of scraped knees and torn bottoms. Trying to skate in anything other than jeans makes no sense. Denim is the most durable fabric I know. I have taken fabric from one pair of jeans to patch the knees of another pair. This is what a mother must do to extend the life of a favorite pair of skating jeans. And this does not apply only to young people. Adults want to hang on to their jeans for as long as possible. Adding patches to frayed areas and embellishments to stained areas adds to the life, beauty, and uniqueness of your jeans. SaveWhen times are good people will spend from $80 to $200 and more on a designer pair of jeans. Some of us do not have the money or choose not to spend it on one pair. I for one would rather spend less and buy 2 or 3! There are many ways to reduce your costs. Take advantage of after season sales, discontinued styles (I wear vintage, in my opinion it never goes out of style) and even damaged goods (broken zipper, missing button). Flea Markets, and online sales offer another opportunity to find great bargains. Make older jeans current by watching trends. Add a hip blazer with boots and a trendy bag to look modern. ReusePurchasing at thrift stores, consignment shops and yard sales means you save money by reusing and purchasing used clothing. Some of these jeans have been made soft from use and embellished for you by talented people. The worn faded look is in. Instead of spending a fortune on pants that look like they have had a long life, why not purchase them with genuine wear and tear. Swapping jeans with family and friends who may no longer wear their jeans is another way to find a treasure in someone else’s closet and it becomes a win-win situation when you both get a pair of jeans out of it. RecycleThis durable fabric that we have come to love so much has a second life as handbags, backpacks, pillows, pet beds, and upholstery fabric (several remnants sewn together) there are many possibilities if you are creative and you will reduce waste at the same time. It’s all about going green with blue. Because denim is made from cotton it is a sustainable resource. That should give us an added motivation to get the most use out of the denim we already have.

HOW TO DRESS A MALE PHYSIQUE

BY JAY BURNETT

draw attention to areas you feel self-conscious about. Choose vertical stripes or patterns over horizontal ones, which may stretch across wider areas and look too wide. Vertical stripes elongate the body, drawing the eye from the shoulders down to the floor. Dark pinstripe suits are ideal, since they will slim the appearance of the body. Pair darker pants with monochromatic shirts to slim the appearance of the body. You may use this either with casual wear or suits.

It doesn’t get any easier!

FEATURE RECIPE By Tracy Allen

I know it might be hard to believe, but I’ve found a recipe that’s even easier than last month’s veggie spaghetti! I made a trip to the Natural Food Store in Clearwater (on Curlew & US 19) and found a handy little kiosk that was available to browse natural, healthy and easy recipes. Jay, the General Manager was very helpful and showed me the fresh produce area, the meat department and aisle after aisle of healthy foods; from organic, to vegan they had exactly what I was looking for. This recipe calls for Cod fish, however you can substitute any white, flaky, fish you want. Try Haddock, Lingcod or Orange Roughy fillets. Next time I’m going to try it with Tilapia. A big Thank you to Natural Foods for helping in my quest for fresh, healthy and easy recipes to share with our readers!

BASIL BAKED COD FILETS Serves: 2

Prep: 5 Mins

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes INGREDIENTS 1/2 lb.

Cod Filet

Plum Tomatoes (Cored and sliced thin lengthwise)

DIRECTIONS: Drain and pat fillets dry then cut into 2 pieces. Combine oil and lemon juice in a small baking dish. Add fish and turn to coat both sides Sprinkle with basil, salt and pepper.

1 tsp

Olive Oil

1 tsp

Fresh Lemon Juice

1/4 tsp Dried Basil Pinch

Sea Salt

Pinch

Freshly Ground Pepper

2 TBL

Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Overlap the tomato slices evenly on the fish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

quick TIP During the last five minutes of cooking time in the oven, try adding some cooked spinach on top of the tomatoes, then re-sprinkle with a little more Parmesan cheese.

SWITCH IT UP Tower more veggies on top! Mushrooms, broccoli or even some asparagus shoots will accompany this light white fish dish. Try this at a dinner party and your friends will think you are a gourmet chef. Have fun!

NuYou is proud to introduce you to Chef Alfie who has been a chef in the Tampa Bay area for numerous years. His monthly column will be interesting, informative and full of cooking ideas, shopping tips, food tid-bits and other culinary advice.

Grilled Vegetables for Summertime Not only is your grill a great place to cook steaks, chops, chicken and ribs, it is also the best place to cook vegetables during the summer. With just a little seasoning, your vegetables will become the hit of your meal. Let me give you some examples. Be sure to wash all vegetables before cooking or eating!!! Take some zucchini squash and yellow squash. Slice into pieces about the thickness of your fore finger. Do not peel. Season with salt, pepper, granulated garlic. Spray each piece with cooking spray on both sides and place on a hot grill. Cook until tender. WOW!!! You may use this same technique with eggplant, onions, any kind of pepper, even a tomato. You can use these vegetables as a side dish, or you may cool them down and use them in a salad or mix them with rice or cous cous. They will make be a great compliment to any meal. How about some grilled corn on the cob. Take your corn and place in water for about one hour. Do not peel of the husks. Make sure the water covers the corn completely. After one hour, place the corn on a hot grill and rotate about every 5-10 min. Be sure that corn is cooked on all sides. We complete, place in a container and peel each piece as you eat them. Great with any meal. How about a grilled baked potato Wash potato,

wrapped in foil and cook at low heat for about 45 min. rotating three or four times during that period. You can utilize your grill in many ways. Here is a great variation.

RECLAIM REFRAME By Rev Col AnneMarie Dyer

A goal should be specific, attainable, realistic, timely and measurable. The process of thinking about an ideal future should motivate you to turn your vision into a reality. One needs to choose where they want to go in life. By creating a big picture first and then break it down into smaller targets, so that you can take one step at a time. I think the greatest enemy of action is the lack of a plan. Include in your plans the 6 W’s, who, what, where, when, why and which. I have noticed over the years that I learned some new thoughts like: what if? They could say no? Should I? I can’t do that? What if I fail? Not having this thought process in my mind in my growing up years I was a very successful person because I had the law of attraction or the law of mind action. It was ask and you shall receive and this is where we all need to turn our thoughts and attention to. My earlier goals brought me heartache, stress and no happiness. Money is the root of all evil; I now have goals that only bring peace, love, healing, happiness and freedom in my life. Only by getting to the top and looking back can one understand what one knows.

us what a powerful force having a vision of possibilities can be for you. “Ask if you have a vision for your organization, or more importantly do you have one for yourself? Such a vision gets you excited every morning and keeps you open to possibilities.” *Believe it and you’ll see it (keep your vision focused and you will find the purpose) *Recognize abundance (stop, look and listen, slow down and understand what is happening) *Look for possibilities (hold on to only the best and trust your intuition) *Unleash your energy to fix what’s wrong (it’s not trespassing to go beyond your own boundaries, make sure that vision is big enough) *Ride the challenges *Take yourself to the edge *Be your best for the world (not the best in the world) Everyday creativity teaches us to look at the ordinary and see the extraordinary. Our ability to search for new ideas can mean the difference between success and failure. Inspiration will encourage what one feels when they apply these simple yet powerful creativity techniques to all of our everyday challenges. Creativity is a matter of perspective; there is always more than one right answer. Frame problems into opportunities; reclaim and reframe. Whether your work endures is up to others, not yourself. It is not the value of your goal it is all part of a much larger creation—your life; that’s ultimately what we’re all here to create. If I had a wish, I would want to just put out the very best I have everyday simply for the joy of it. We can then produce a work of enduring value.
