CLOSET CONFESSIONS know it’s been a strange, strange year and a half, but the other day when I walked into my closet, I heard some whispered conversations that got me quite concerned — my clothes, shoes

and handbags were talking to each other. I guess they had listened to enough of my ruminations about the general anxiety surrounding attending the big events and even the disappointment at not being able to do our annual fall fashion shoot. I was afraid they were going to march out, but that would be a little ridiculous — or would it? From the dress collection it was all moaning and groaning. The pink print said, “I thought I was going to be in regular rotation.” And the orange one responded, “I only get worn at big Orange Appeal parties.” The black one chimed in, “I’m here for funerals and somber occasions so

EXCERPTS FROM THE CLASSY HUSTLE KEEP YOUR WORD “I woke up one Monday morning fatigued and irritated because I had not been able to say no to an invitation to a birthday party. In saying yes to the invitation, I chose to honor someone else instead of the commitment I made to myself to keep Sunday as my day of rest and relaxation, as this is the only day I do not work. For the rest of that week, I paid for my decision. My week was a blur, and my thoughts were clouded. And then it dawned on me that I had not rested. There are times that you have to say no to invitations so that you can rest.”

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT “You have to be content with being alone. Dare to be different. As I reflect back, even at a young age, I was very different. I dared to ask pensive questions, even at the expense of offending others. I was on a quest for knowledge, and I wanted to know ‘the whys’ behind things. Even today, when I coach, train and teach others, I always find myself answering ‘the whys.’”

FIND YOUR VALUE AND WORTH “I struggled for years in knowing my value and worth. I wanted acceptance from others, and I wanted to fit in. Because I was ‘a little different’ I defined my worth as others saw me. I had limited beliefs in what I was capable of achieving. By putting in the work, I started to peel the layers off the onion. The outer layer represented how I wanted others to see me. I peeled that layer off. The next layer represented how I really saw myself, that part was a little painful. I realized that I received negative words spoken by other people. This wasn’t really who I was, it was what I accepted as truth, so it was a lie. I denounced those lies. I was left with the core of the onion, which represented who I really was.” The Classy Hustle, by Tessa Boyd, is available on Amazon. Tessa will be on one of the panels at the Orlando Women’s Conference on September 14. 18

Canine Companions Tales & Tails Gala Celebrates 25th Anniversary On an 8-acre campus off Clarcona Ocoee road resides the Southeast Region Training Center for Canine Companions, a national organization that trains and provides service dogs to people with disabilities. The state-of-the-art facility serves the states of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. While the training center opened just over 21 years ago, the organization’s signature fundraiser, Tales & Tails Gala, will celebrate its 25th anniversary on October 23 at Rosen Shingle Creek with an in-person event, as well as an exciting virtual live stream experience. We caught up with the gala co-chairs to learn more and find their reasons behind volunteering for this beloved organization and event. Robin Sanchez: Supporting Canine Companions was an easy decision after I attended a graduation ceremony. By the end of the weekend, I had decided I wanted to be part of an organization that changes lives. I have been involved with the Tales & Tails Gala for the past 15 years and I am also a volunteer puppy raiser.

Paul Richards: I knew a little bit about the mission but decided to become more involved and joined the Tales & Tails Gala committee in 2004. I continued to be involved after meeting a mother and her daughter who had just been matched with one of our service dogs. She told me their dog had been one of the biggest blessings and gifts they had ever received.

Trish Walsh: When I learned from friends how much independence and love these dogs bring to people with disabilities, I knew I had to become involved. And it didn’t take me long to recognize the tremendous positive impact that Canine Companions has and I tell everyone that being involved with Canine Companions brings a smile to my face every day.

Making Progress in Personalized Breast Cancer Research and Treatment by Rebecca Moroose, MD,

Director Cancer Clinical Trials, Director Cancer Genetics, Orlando Health UF Health Cancer Center “Innovation drives progress” is the mantra of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). Each year, CDER publishes a list of new drug approvals. Multiple new agents with novel mechanisms of action have been approved for treating early- and later-stage breast cancer in recent years and some breast oncologists refer to this plethora with the idiom “an embarrassment of riches” from a 1726 French comedy. This idiom connotates an overabundance of something or “too much of a good thing.” I consider this plenitude an “abundance of blessings” paving the way to treat each individual’s breast cancer with therapy more specific to his or her tumor and less toxic to the system. AS A REMINDER, treatment of breast cancer used to be a “one-size-fits-all” approach — typically surgery, chemotherapy, sometimes radiation therapy, and often anti-hormonal therapy. With the advent of the Human Genome Project and better understanding of genomic and biological mechanisms of disease, scientists can iden-

Mutations in this gene lead to a defect in a protein called P110alpha. P110a controls cellular growth and division and, when defective, contributes to uncontrolled cell growth. Alpelisib inhibits the defective PIK3CA to reduce its activity. It is currently used for patients whose tumors are ER+/PR+/Her2neu- with a PIK3CA mutation. This is by no means an exhaustive list of the tools we have in our armamentarium to treat breast cancer. Many of these new agents are also being studied in earlier stages of breast cancer and in different breast cancer phenotypes. A pipeline of agents is currently under investigation to improve our success in controlling or, in some cases, curing breast cancer. This is no embarrassment of riches!

be a sensible dinner. Your smoothie should consist of a liquid “base” such as water or milk. I personally enjoy using a milk substitute such as almond milk, cashew milk or oat milk. Next, add high-quality ingredients including plenty of vegetables, and a handful of fruits into your smoothie — if possible, try to use organically sourced ingredients. Finally, add a protein source into each smoothie. (In addition to whey protein, there are some great protein powders made from ingredients like egg whites, brown rice and green peas—something for everyone!) Most importantly, to be considered a “meal,” make sure it contains enough protein for your body type.

fat loss laser treatments for body contouring and stubborn fat. This is the first laser specifically designed for body contouring and fat reduction with NO bruising, swelling, freezing or downtime! You can easily have a treatment on your lunch break and head back to the office after a quick 40-minute session. The best part is you can target the area (or areas) you are looking to specifically treat, such as “spot treating” your inner/outer thigh, abdomen, back, etc. While this laser has given my patients much success, you must continue to incorporate your healthy diet and exercise plan to maximize your results.

THE PINERY: SIP &SUP on the LAKE

by Christi Ashby

Since the opening of Russell’s last year, the story of the land surrounding Lake Ivanhoe has become common knowledge. Who would have guessed a pineapple farm graced the shoreline?

lasting impressions IMAGINE SITTING IN A LITTLE BISTRO sipping on a glass of wine and nibbling on charcuterie while stepping into some of the most iconic impressionist masterpieces. The experience, Lasting Impressions, brings brushstrokes by Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh and other impressionist artists to life with one-of-a-kind 3D LED technology in the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts through September 26. You’ll be surrounded by more than 100 classic Impressionist pieces and thanks to Holographic 3D, you can sit with Renoir’s luncheon guests, dance with Degas’ ballerinas, float over Monet’s water lilies, soar into Van Gogh’s starry night, spend Sunday in the park with George, and move among the famous characters on Seurat’s Isle of La Grande Jatte. The colors and textures envelope you as perfectly timed music creates an inspiring ambience — including pieces by Debussy and Ravel, as well as French standards by Piaf, Aznavour and Mouskouri. But in the last song, Vincent by Don McClean, the operatic voice of Adam Fisher is beautifully haunting and brought us to tears as Vincent van Gogh’s landscapes and selfportraits float out from the screen. In an hour you will be fully immersed in sights, sounds and tastes. Lasting Impressions is a one-hour, timed-entry experience that is perfect for all ages and wheelchair-accessible. Showings are available Wednesday — Sunday at 3pm, 5pm and 7pm. Plan to arrive early to enjoy the entire experience as doors open before show time and food and drink is available for purchase. drphillipscenter.org – Christi Ashby september | october 2021
