HAMPTON, VA - April 04, 2015 Macy Causey, a third generation teenage race car driver will make history at 14 years old as the youngest female to ever race at Langley Speedway in the NASCAR Late Model Division. Macy will be following in the footsteps of her grandmother Diane Teel who will become a NASCAR Hall of Fame Honoree when she has her racing helmet and items displayed in The NASCAR Hall of Fame in April of this year.
10 How To Cut The Clutter And Take Back Your Home
Diane Teel is the first woman in America to ever win a NASCAR sanctioned race and the first woman to ever race in The Nationwide Series. It was April of 1977 when Diane debuted her limited sportsman car on the track.
15 Her Broken Places Pt. 15
“Lots of teenagers look at celebrities as role models and for their inspiration. I’m fortunate that my role models are in my family. Following in the footsteps of my grandmother and my parents who met and competed against one another on the same track I will be racing on is just awesome,” Macy Causey. ABOUT CAUSEY RACING: The Causey family has been racing competitively for three generations beginning with Diane Teel in the 1970’s. Diane is the first woman to win a NASCAR sanctioned race beating many NASCAR legends throughout her career. Her daughter Dee and now granddaughter Macy continue the family legacy of record setting in competitive racing. Macy receives much of her inspiration from her father Rette Causey who met Macy’s mother Dee racing competitively at Langley Speedway.

ose weight, quit smoking, find a new job and get out of debt...does this sound familiar? Millions of Americans will resolve to change their lives in the New Year, but few will stick with their goals.

resolution you cannot afford to overlook. It’s time to flex your financial muscle. The experts at the nonprofit National Endowment for Financial Education offer these seven tips to help make your financial resolutions stick: 1) Do it now. Many will wait until they feel the time is right to begin new behaviors. If you wait until after the big party to start watching your diet, or until after that big purchase to start saving money, the ideal time will never present itself. 2) Write down your financial resolutions. The NEFE survey finds setting a budget, making a plan to get out of debt, and boosting retirement savings are the top priorities for Americans in the coming year. Clearly articulate why you think your resolution is a good idea, steps you can take to reach your goal, and what you hope to gain. Post your list where you will see it each day.

resolutions with a trusted family member or friend who can provide support in helping you meet your financial goals. Find someone who will hold you accountable and will set a good example for you to follow. 5) Vary goal intensity. Give yourself a short-term objective such as paying more than the minimum on one credit card this month. A long-term goal could be setting up - and adding to - the emergency savings account you know you should have but didn’t get around to starting last year. 6) Monitor your progress regularly. If you are trying to reduce debt, make sure you check your balances often. Set aside a couple of hours each week to address your finances. Over time this will become second nature and part of your normal routine.

If you find yourself breaking a financial goal by 3) Identify your money morals. reverting to old spending habits, identify Understanding your values and attitudes what value might be causing you to stray about money will bring clarity to the and take the time to ask yourself if the decision-making process.

DEFINE YOUR UNIQUE
W
STYLE
hen thinking about your dream kitchen, what finish style of cabinets come to mind? Is it rich dark stained cherry wood? Maybe a clean, crisp white paint? Do you picture yourself having a rustic kitchen complemented by different techniques?
Actually, you don’t have to be defined by any specific design style - you have the freedom to come up with your own. However, for some of us, that vision may still be undiscovered. Whatever your style, here are some considerations to help you determine the look you envision for the kitchen you’ve always wanted. Stains: Sometimes all a cabinet needs is a simple stain to allow the true beauty and character of the wood to shine through. Dark, medium and light tone stains each can create a completely different look depending on what they are paired with. Your style may call for a kitchen with all stained cabinets, or an island can be the perfect place for a stain to pop out against beautifully painted wall cabinets. Techniques: A number of techniques can be added to a cabinet to add character, including rub through, spattering, burnishing, dry brushing, small dents, worm holes, carved edges, rasping and glazing. Each of these techniques creates a unique, one-of-a-kind look for cabinetry, allowing your personality to shine. Paints: You can’t go wrong with paint. A timeless white or neutral is something that will catch everyone’s attention for the life of the cabinetry. Tired of playing it safe? Maybe a bright bold color is what you need for an environment that reflects your own inspiration. ColorInspire, a program offered by Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., allows you to choose from the color decks of Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams and Valspar, making your imagination your only limit. Special touches: A number of different glazes can be added to give detail to the cabinet design. Wellborn’s Brush Finish, a special application of glaze on top of paint, is the perfect addition to any door style. Brush Finish is available in Glacier, Divinity, CrËme and Vanilla. It gives the paint an overlay of a subtle EARTH FRIENDLY – SMARTKLEAN LAUNDRY BALL® brush stroke of glaze, providing depth to the finish. This is accomplished by hand brushing each individual cabinet, giving each a unique overall look. Decorating Tips: After your cabinets are chosen, it is time to decorate. • Frame some of your favorite recipes in the writing of a loved one. What is more special than having your grandmother’s famous chocolate pie recipe on display? • Change decorations out when they begin to get old. Sometimes simply switching a flower arrangement can make the room look completely different. • Get some help with what goes together from sites such as Pinterest or blogs. With so much information out there, it is easy to pick and choose ideas that will make your decorating easier while reflecting your own style. For more information and ideas to help choose your perfect cabinet style, visit www.wellborn.com.

ach day offers new opportunities to make choices that impact your health and overall wellness. Though hectic schedules can cause many of us to let healthy habits fall to the wayside, it is important that we give our bodies the attention and care they deserve. Consider these small steps to gradually improve your whole body and heart health, which can help you enjoy a happier, longer life:

(Family Features)
• Strike a balance. Take a simpler approach to the traditional idea of “dieting.” Balance calories in versus calories out with a combination of good food choices, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and regular exercise, such as walking or hiking. Incorporate low-calorie, naturally fat-free foods into your diet, such as new Dole Red Grapefruit Sunrise Fruit Bowls, which bring all-natural fruit together with 100 percent juice. They are a great way to start the day or just enjoy as a delicious snack. Grapefruit naturally offers a plentiful source of nutrients, including phosphorus, potassium and vitamins A and C. • Watch the middle. According to the Mayo Clinic, that extra weight you carry around the mid-section can cause serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Work to keep this common problem area in check by reducing caloric intake and increasing physical activity. • Skip the stress. While a little stress is part of being human, too much can be taxing on the heart. Find activities that engage your mind and naturally relieve stress such as knitting, crafting or working on a puzzle. • Dine in the a.m. Don’t let a rushed morning routine get in the way of enjoying a heart-healthy breakfast. A complete morning meal includes a combination of whole grains, protein, and fruits or vegetables. For a convenient, on-the-go option, throw an individually-sealed cup of Dole Red Grapefruit Sunrise in your laptop bag or purse. Each cup contains peak-of-ripeness, wholesome, peeled grapefruit and allows you to enjoy grapefruit all year around. Plus, they’re gluten free, contain no GMOs (genetically modified or engineered ingredients) or artificial sweeteners, and feature BPA-free packaging. • Drink more water. For your body to function properly, it needs the right amount of hydration. According to the Institute of Medicine, the average required intake for a male is about 13 cups, while a female requires about 9 cups. Switch out sodas and sugary drinks with water to reap its benefits, and to shave off extra “empty” calories that may contribute to weight gain. • Get routine exams. A yearly doctor’s examination keeps you more informed of your body’s ever-changing status, and it keeps your health care provider in the loop, too. Educate yourself and understand the import numbers for your heart, including blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides. A happy life starts with the right mindset and a few easy routines.

ould you sacrifice your retirement and savings to simultaneously support your elderly parents and adult children? It’s not something many people envision, but millions are doing just that. These individuals are part of the sandwich generationmiddle-aged adults caring for two different generations of family at the same time while planning for their own retirement goals.
2. Solicit support: Caring for a parent while working full-time and raising kids is physically and emotionally draining. Surround yourself with people who care and be willing to ask for help.
Not surprisingly, this situation can cause significant financial strain. Research shows the pressure experienced by the sandwich generation is growing. According to a 2013 Pew Research Center survey, 21 percent of adults ages 40 to 59 provided some financial support to a parent aged 65 or older. By contrast, nearly half (48 percent) provided support to at least one adult child in the same period, up from 42 percent just seven years earlier.
4. Set expectations: Be open about how much financial support you plan to give your children once they reach adulthood. Decide how long you will allow coverage under your health plan and who will pay associated co-pays and deductibles. If your adult children live with you, have the same conversation about auto insurance.
3. Talk about finances: Long before you think you need to, review your parents’ insurance policies to understand their wishes, so you’re informed enough to make changes together.
5. Review your life insurance: If your family depends on you as the primary source of income, take time to evaluate your life insurance needs. Getting the correct amount provides peace of mind. Once your child is financially independent, you may wish to decrease the amount of your policy. “Initiating important conversations can help reduce stress and ensure finances remain intact,” says Hamm. “It’s essential to maintain an open mind and employ honest communication so everyone understands expectations. Visit InsureUOnline.org for more information, including a checklist with action items you can take now to ensure that unforeseen insurance needs do not impact financial stability.
“The emotional and financial strain of caring for an aging parent is challenging, but as more people also provide support for an adult child, financial security becomes a big concern,” says Adam Hamm, National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) President and North Dakota Insurance Commissioner. “Fortunately, making smart choices along the way can help alleviate the financial stresses felt by the sandwich generation and safeguard their long-term financial well-being.” To avoid common pitfalls and to help plan for the unpredictable, the NAIC offers five tips to help consumers in the sandwich generation. 1. Create a plan: Alleviate confusion in the midst of a crisis by creating a plan for your loved one’s care. FEBRUARY 2015 RENEW

ASK A
TEACHER CAMPAIGN
JANICE UNDERWOOD Are you ready for this month’s questions? I hope so because we have some difficult topics to address that I know many parents and guardians everywhere struggle to navigate. This month I am addressing those tough topics that many find difficult to talk about, but wish they could. So, let’s dive in… Rebecca M. I have two children, one in middle school and one in high school. Now that my oldest is in the 11th grade, I feel he is old enough to take responsibility for his own education. So, I don’t constantly check up behind him on every little thing, like I did when he was in elementary school. However, now that the semester is almost over, I found out he is failing two classes. How do I confront the teacher? Mrs. Underwood: Rebecca, I hear parents with high school-aged children tell me this all the time, and I have to say that I disagree with the philosophy that high school students should be given less attention than younger children. On the contrary, high school-aged students should probably be given more attention than the younger ones because by this time these “children” are making adult-like” decisions that could and often do change the course of their futures. So, you have to ask yourself, what kind of daily or weekly ‘checks and balances’ do you have between you and your son regarding his academic progress because waiting until the end of the semester to find out he is failing is not the teacher’s fault. By the same token, no two children are alike; so, parents need to provide a level of support that is appropriate for each child. So, I do think it is fitting for you to contact your son’s teachers and ask what caused him to fail those classes because there are many reasons students fail a course, beyond achievement, like missing too many days in a class. When you speak to the teacher, you might like to ask how often were progress reports sent home and could future progress reports be emailed to you directly for your review. Also ask the teacher for his or her email address so you can check in from time to time about his progress. With that said, my advice for you going forward into the second semester is to take on a more active role to ensure that he has the best chance for success because to be clear, for children to be successful, it takes teachers and parents working together WITH the student. So, a couple of tips to keep in mind as you keep track of your son’s assignments and grades…
Nearly every school system in Hampton Roads has some form of electronic monitoring system, where students and parents can keep track of grades, attendance, and discipline matters. Encourage your son to log in often, like twice a week to monitor his own progress…this will help him to become more accountable for his own learning. Create a homework folder and an assignment sheet for each subject, so that homework and upcoming quizzes etc. can be documented. Most importantly, parents must establish a nightly routine for homework and studying (especially when they say they don’t have any homework). Lastly, regularly email every teacher and inquire about upcoming tests, project deadlines, tutoring opportunities, SOL dates, and most of all GRADES.
d
Miriam C. I have a six-year old daughter and her teacher referred her for special education testing. She said she suspects that my daughter has autism or some other disability. I am livid. Where do I go from here? Mrs. Underwood: First, Miriam, take a couple of deep breaths and let’s talk about why you are so upset. I don’t presume to know all the circumstances surrounding your daughter or the teacher’s referral, but I know one thing for sure, a special education diagnosis is not the end of the world or a death sentence. So, why are you angry with the teacher for a referral? It is every educator’s responsibility to provide the best education possible for every child. And…if providing special education supports and interventions are necessary for your daughter to achieve her maximum academic and social potential, then this referral may be the beginning of a blessing. Early intervention is always better for the child. On the other hand, if you are saying that you have never observed any characteristics of a disability and perhaps this referral is the result of a more sinister motive, then I suggest you immediately schedule a meeting with the teacher and the principal. However, lets suppose this teacher has the best intentions because most teachers I know do what’s best for kids. Many parents in this same situation have similar emotions. They express fear, guilt, and shame that their child may be diagnosed with a disability. In fact, they deny or ignore signs that their child may have some physical, social, or cognitive deficit because they don’t want the child (or themselves) to be negatively stigmatized. However, preventing the special education process may hinder a child’s academic and social growth because he or she does not have the necessary supports, interventions and protections that could make a huge difference in their educational experience. In fact, special education supports can go beyond the K-12 setting and may extend at the college level. So, my advice to you is to empower yourself with information. Research and read everything about the possible diagnosis, and talk to other parents and friends who are knowledgeable about special education. Also, contact the school or the special education department and let them know you are not familiar about this process and ask for someone to provide
an explicit overview and timeline of what to expect. This may help you better conceptualize your rights and responsibilities as the parent because the special education eligibility process has strict timelines and there will be a host of assessments, meetings, and paperwork. So, start learning the terminology, acronyms, and expectations because these meetings can be overwhelming for the novice parent. Therefore come to the various meetings prepared with paper, pen, and lots of questions. Do not be afraid to ask questions and always request a draft of the paperwork in advance to read at home before the meeting. But keep in mind, the school is a partner and not an adversary, but if you feel like you need help navigating this process, I recommend looking into securing a third party advocate. If you would like to seek more information, please visit your school system’s website or the Virginia Department of Education’s special education website at http:// www.doe.virginia.gov/special_ed/ I wish you and your daughter the best as you pursue her best interests. I hope you enjoyed this edition of “Ask a Teacher.” If you would like to submit a question, you can email me directly and confidentially at janicebellunderwood@gmail.com and your question could be featured in an upcoming issue of RENEW Magazine.

HOW TO CUT THE CLUTTER AND TAKE BACK YOUR HOME
Y
should see positive elements, as well as appreciate the possibility for negative space by removing unnecessary pieces that don’t add to the design composition.
Getting started is easier than you think. If you want to take control of clutter, get a few boxes start with one for each room in your home and begin organizing one room at a time.
Interior design students at The Art Institute of York - Pennsylvania are taught to help their clients step back and ask themselves: Is it finished now? You can err when you go shopping and purchase nice pieces for your home, because before long you may have accumulated too many of those nice things. Take a hard look at some of those things you don’t really want or need; it might be time to share that stuff with your local Goodwill.
ou’ve reached your breaking point. You’ve tripped over the same thing in the living room too many times. Now you’ve picked it up to finally put it away and you realize - you have nowhere to put it. You have too much clutter in your home. So what do you do? How do you decide where to start so you can reduce the clutter in your home and make your walkways safe once more?
Begin this initiative by removing everything on top of your cabinets, tables and in bookcases, and then place it all in a box, says Keith McCleary, academic director of Interior Design at The Art Institute of York - Pennsylvania. If there are other random accessories in the room, remove those, too. Keep just the basic furnishings. Now sit with the room in its simplest form for a short time. “In room design, make good decisions about what you choose to put in the room and, often more importantly, in what you choose to leave out,” McCleary says. “Simplicity and clean lines make a room feel livable, and that’s what it’s really all about: comfortable living.” Think about the kind of focal point you’re trying to create. How should you orchestrate this space and show off your special pieces in terms of size, scale, color and texture? After a day or two has passed, go back to the box and look for items that define your personality, or will be noticed by guests visiting your home. “Ask yourself: when is enough, enough?” says McCleary. “Each piece of furniture in the room can function to complement. Accessories and works of art should contrast.” When you look at your well-designed room, you 10 RENEW FEBRUARY 2015
Sometimes, you might think you have to keep memorabilia or outdated gifts from Aunt Ethel in your home all the time. “Not so,” says McCleary. “It’s perfectly acceptable to remove those items when you do your box exercise.” If you get a call from Auntie when she plans her next visit, head to the attic and put those old Beanie Babies she gave you when you were a fanatical collector decades ago on a shelf in your den - temporarily. She’ll be happy for the gesture. When she leaves, feel free to put them back in the box of memories until her next visit. After you complete this exercise in each room in your home, you’ll notice that the clutter has disappeared. Now you can recognize how attractive the remaining items are in that same space. This initiative takes determination and focus, but when you’ve completed the exercise, your focus can be on the lovely space you’ve recreated.

RENEW Magazine recently had the pleasure of speaking with Karen Endsley - TV Host of “Cooking from the Heart”. It was clear from the start of our conversation how passionate she is about cooking. RENEW: When did you discover your passion for cooking? Karen: “All my life. At nine years old, my dad told a friend that I can bake a chicken better than his father the chef”. RENEW: What did you do before “Cooking from the Heart”? Karen: “I was in real estate for 11 years, I taught Spanish/Art & Anthropology in Orlando, FL.” Recently, I worked for a local cooking show as well.
Karen: “If I can, I will do a cooking demo”. RENEW: Will there be a cookbook with your “healthy recipes” soon? Karen: “Right now all the recipes can be found on the website http://www.cox11.com/category/ shows/cooking-from-the-heart/. The recipes are are easy and healthy, ingredients can be found at local grocery stores and that anyone can cook. There might possibly be a cookbook in the future”. “Cooking from the Heart”, is a 30 minute weekly cooking show where local Hampton Roads resident and mom Karen Endsley, shares her passion for cooking and gives tips on quick, healthy & nutritious meals that can be prepared on a budget.
RENEW: Do you ever find time to just relax? Karen: “There’s no time for relaxing, but I have watched ‘Frozen’ a dozen times”. RENEW: Who does the cooking at your house? Karen: “I do all the cooking, my husband is my Sous-Chef. Even though I am cooking all the time, it’s very relaxing”. RENEW: We are so excited about your upcoming participation at the RENEW Health & Wellness Women’s Expo, March 14, 2015. Do you know what you will be presenting?
VALENTINE SWIRL CAKE This is a lovely light white cake with a surprise swirl of color when you cut into it. Perfect for a romantic Valentine’s Day dessert. 1/2 Cups butter 1/4 Cups vegetable shortening 11/2 Cups sugar 3 eggs 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract 11/2 Cups all purpose flour 1 Teaspoons baking powder 1/8 Teaspoon salt 1/2 Cups whole milk 3/4 Teaspoon white vinegar 4-5 drops of red food coloring Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 2 8’ round cake pans. For an extra decorative touch, use heart shaped cake pans. I use 2 approximately 4.5 x 4.25 cake pans and have enough batter left over for a little cake for my little one! If you don’t have heart shaped cake pans, you can use a very large heart shaped cookie cutter and cut hearts out of your finished cakes. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Combine the whole milk and vinegar and set aside as well. In the bowl of your mixer, whip the butter and shortening together until creamy. Add the sugar, 1/2 cup at a time mixing well after each addition, until it is well incorporated. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each one. Add vanilla. Alternating between dry and wet mixtures, add both the flour and the milk mixtures to the creamed butter, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix on medium low for about one minute, until all ingredients are well combined, making sure to scrape down the sides. In a small bowl, place about 1 cup of the batter and add the red food coloring. Mix well until color is thoroughly combined.
Fill both cake pans with about 2/3 of the batter. Place 3-4 dollops of the red/pink batter , on top of the white batter and swirl around with a skewer or spoon, making sure to dip down into the rest of the batter. Do not mix the colors completely, you are going for a swirled/rye dye effect. Top with the rest of the batter. Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
The TV Show airs on Fridays at 5:00 pm on Cox11 or Cox1011 HD, and now on the AMG TV Network. Make sure you get your FREE tickets to the RENEW Women’s Expo to see Karen Endsley of Cooking from the Heart, scheduled for Saturday, March 14, 2015 from 10a-3p at the Ramada Hotel & Conference Center in Williamsburg, VA.

COCONUT BUTTER-CREAM FROSTING 3 cups confectioners’ sugar 1 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 to 2 tablespoons whipping-cream Evaporated milk 3/4 teaspoon coconut extract (you may add more to taste, but this frosting should have a strong but not overpowering hint of coconut) Put butter in the bowl of your mixer and whip until creamy. On low speed in 1/2 cup increments, slowly add the the confectioner’s sugar Once it is well incorporated, turn the speed up to medium high and mix until thoroughly combined. Add the vanilla extract, the coconut extract and 1 Tbs of the evaporated milk and mix on medium speed for about 1 minute. Check the consistency of the frosting, if it is spreadable, you are finished. If it is too thick, add another Tbs of the evaporated milk. If you accidentally put in too much milk, you can add a bit more confectioner’s sugar to remedy it. Be careful not to add too much as you don’t want to throw off the balance of sugar to butter and change the flavor. I like to use this frosting with my Valentine’s swirl cake. I put a very large spoonful between the two hearts and press 1 layer atop, pushing out some of the frosting on the sides. This gives it a lovely, rustic look. It then pipe a decorative “mess” on top and garnish with bright, fresh berries. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

TURN GOOD LUNCHBOXES INTO GREAT LUNCHBOXES
F
ood and lifestyle expert Evette Rios has five easy tips to help families pack a healthier lunch, and turn a good lunchbox into a great lunchbox:
1. Subtract the fat. Remove unnecessary fat with fat-free deli meats - your kids won’t know the difference. 2. Avoid temptation with snacks. Children who eat a poor quality breakfast or lunch may give in to temptation, so offer healthier snacks like nuts and dried fruit. 3. It’s not juice if it’s not 100 percent. If you are going to serve juice make sure its 100 percent fruit juice. 4. Don’t be afraid to give them a sweet treat. Instead of a candy bar or cookies, try packing Go-GURT(r) Portable Lowfat Yogurt. With a fun tube and smooth, creamy texture, these treats are specially made to freeze and thaw by lunchtime. 5. If kids help select it or cook it, they’ll eat it. Give them a choice and involve them, but guide their choices. Let them cruise the produce aisle and pick out the food they want to eat. When shopping for healthier ingredients to feed your family, Rios recommends looking for the Great for You seal on Walmart produce available in stores now and on select Great Value and Marketside products beginning this fall.

PROTECTING YOUR WEBSITE FROM HACKERS
B
rute Force Attacks are the simplest, most common ways hackers gain access to a website. These Internet “bullies” try different usernames and passwords repeatedly, sometimes using “bots” that generate random sequences of characters, until they get in. Their easiest targets? Those using simple passwords like ‘123456’ and usernames like “admin”. A strong password protects not only your website, but the server it is on as well. If hackers gain access to your website, they can install malicious scripts that can infect your website, the entire server and every other website hosted on it. Here are some tips to protect yourself: DON’T use “admin”, your name, company name, website name or any variation, or a word from a dictionary for your Username. DO use strong passwords that are a mix of numbers, letters and, if allowed, symbols. If
you have to copy and paste it to use it, it’s probably strong.

LOVE HAS A LANGUAGE Tatrece Dunl ap Swann
F
ebruary is the month we typically celebrate love, but Valentine’s Day loses appeal with the commercialism. Every year as late January, early February brings a flood of jewelry commercials and preset dinner menus for two; we rush to find that ‘perfect’ gift that will show our mate, friend or child that we love them. Have you ever wondered why the response doesn’t meet your efforts? For the married and the single, the answer is simple….love has a language.
Tex-Mex Chili Pie Serves 4; 1 1/2 cups per serving Perfect for wintry nights or while watching sporting events, this hearty chili is accented with crisp corn tortillas, fatfree Cheddar cheese, and dollops of fat-free sour cream. This recipe is worth repeating, so save time now by making a double batch and storing the leftover chili in an airtight container for up to 6 months in the freezer. Chili 1 pound extra-lean ground beef 1 15.5-ounce can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained 1 14.5-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained 1 8-ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup chopped red onion 1/2 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped 1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon salt-free all-purpose seasoning blend jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk Cooking spray 4 6-inch corn tortillas 1/2 cup shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream In a large nonstick skillet, cook the beef over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until browned, stirring frequently to turn and break up the beef. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a 2- to 3-quart slow cooker. Add the remaining chili ingredients to the slow cooker, stirring to combine. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 7 to 9 hours, or until the onions and bell peppers are tender and the flavors have blended. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Using a sharp knife, cut each tortilla into 8 triangles. Place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crisp. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack. Let the chips cool for 15 minutes. When the chili is ready, place 8 tortilla chips with a pointed end up around the inside of each rimmed soup bowl. Ladle the chili into the bowls. Sprinkle the Cheddar over the chili. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream.

According to the National Retail Federation, and despite cutting back on overall spending, from 2001 until 2014, Americans spent over $17 billion for Valentine’s Day and $1 billion on candy where young adult men between the ages of 25-34 spent on average $177….the most of all age groups; Ages 35-44 spent $142, Ages 45-54 spent $122 and Ages 55-64 spent $88. What happened to the New Year’s Resolution to lose weight and spend less? It’s no coincidence that the average male spending tops the female at $168 to her $85, but the study showed that the older we get, the less we tend to spend with regards to February 14th. Love is one of the most important words in the English language, yet the most confusing. It’s not the commercialized warm and fuzzy, and it’s not always sexual in nature, it is the desire to meet a person’s emotional needs. Best-selling author, Gary Chapman wrote a book entitled “The 5 Love Languages” where he delves into the topic of love, determining that each person in a relationship has a PRIMARY love language that we must learn to speak if we want that person to feel loved: Those areas are Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. If you’ve never taken the time to not only know your own, but that of your mate, your kids and even your friends, it may explain why despite your best efforts to express love, it has repeatedly been met with frustration. Think of the amount of money, time and energy we could save if we take the time to really get to know our loved ones to determine what really matters. Please understand that I am in NO way against Valentine’s Day, gifts or candy, however, I am against using it as a way to disguise the unwillingness to get to the emotional needs – the needs that ultimately keep the relationship intact. Chocolates and flowers won’t communicate your love if Quality Time is your primary love language….their undivided attention will do just fine. When we don’t feel loved, there’s absolutely nothing a box of candy, or flowers can soothe….It comes from deep within and it is a choice. What’s your primary love language?

treasures we find.” Barbara pointed to her car parked on the street. “You’ll find an extra set of gloves in my back seat.” “Okay.” Marla grabbed and slipped on a pair of work gloves and joined the small crew working on what had been the Porters’ house. Picking up pieces of broken furniture, pictures, dishes and other household items put some weight back on her shoulders. However, the family and volunteers laughed as they worked. The Porters reminisced when they bought the house, escapades their children had gotten into when they were young, and other good times. Taking the time to remember the good things Part 15 was an essential part of the healing process. And people rarely did in the course of BY TRACY WAINWRIGHT something normal life.

She’d only dozed a couple minutes. Standing to stretch, she gazed out of the trailer to not lose the item’s location. She set down the items that had filled her arms and squatted window. Her makeshift office also served as closer. Mrs. Ferris’ office. The woman serving as the volunteer coordinator, services director, and Marla’s mentor had been a tremendous help. Marla felt guilty every time she had a question, but Mrs. Ferris, Barbara she asked to be called, was always gracious. The sun was just starting to go down and the activity in the neighborhood still resembled a beehive. Volunteers and victims alike worked to clear debris and search for anything salvageable. Although mentally drained from the day, with no more appointments she was freed up to help. The next day was Sunday. She’d go to church with Barbara then rest. With the need so great, she would choose to ignore her own body’s craving to stop for the day. There were at least two more hours of work to be done. She swiped a protein bar from the drawer and headed out the door. Before she made it down the street to were the workers were, she’d polished off her dinner and stuffed it’s wrapper in her back pocket. The fresh air, although still steaming, revived her. Part of her tiredness was probably due to being in the trailer all day. She breathed in deeply and grinned. Barbara waved from the driveway up ahead. Marla returned the greeting. “Evening.

The item was gold. She removed her right glove and reached down. Her fingers closed in around the object and she brought it up. A gold locket, still attached to a chain. Her heart pounded. This was the kind of thing people heard about. One piece of memorabilia saved from wreckage. She couldn’t believe she was the one to find it. Now to find out if it belonged to the Porters or had been flung in their yard from elsewhere. She rose and took the several steps to where Mrs. Porter was gathering trash that was once part of her house. The older woman looked up as she approached. “What…” her voice trailed off and tears filled her eyes. “My locket. I can’t believe you found it. Harold gave it to me for our tenth anniversary.” She stared at the necklace, then returned her gaze to Marla. “How can I ever repay you? This means so much to me.” Marla swallowed around the lump in her throat and shook her head. The look on the woman’s face was thanks enough.

QUICK & SIMPLE AT-HOME BEAUTY TREATMENTS TO TRY care for their skin. It might surprise you how many beauty treatments you can create from ingredients you already have in your home.
P
ampering yourself with skin and beauty treatments is important, but going to the salon or buying expensive products are not always the most convenient - or wallet-friendly - options. In fact, 82 percent of women prefer to save than splurge, spending less than 50 dollars each month on their beauty and skincare regimen, according to a recent study from Poshly Insights on behalf of ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda. As an alternative, women can look to the following simple, do-it-yourself solutions to
Ramada
1. Facial scrub - For smooth, radiant skin, combine three parts baking soda with one part warm water. Using your fingers, rub the mixture gently on your face in a circular motion to exfoliate skin and remove dead skin cells. Be careful to avoid your eye area. Rinse off with warm water and you’ll notice your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. 2. Bath soak - Help soothe skin irritations, bug bites or mild sunburn with a relaxing, long soak in the bathtub. Swirl one-half cup of ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda into warm water to help soften and soothe the skin and clean away any oils and perspiration that accumulated during the day. 3. Manicure and pedicure - Before painting your nails, give your hands and feet a little TLC with exfoliating treatments. For manicures, use a
brush to scrub the nails and cuticles in a gentle, circular motion with baking soda. Rinse clean with warm water and apply your favorite shade of nail polish. For pedicures, soak feet in a basin with a mixture of two tablespoons of ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda and warm water. After your soak apply a scrub of three parts baking soda and one part water. Rinse clean with warm water and follow with an application of a rich moisturizer and a warm towel foot wrap your feet will feel smooth and clean. Finish the treatment by applying your favorite shade of polish to your toenails. 4. Hair care - Use baking soda to help remove residue that styling products leave behind for cleaner and more manageable hair. To achieve this, sprinkle a quarter-size amount of ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda into your palm along with your favorite shampoo. Wash as usual and rinse thoroughly. Just be careful to avoid the eye area when rinsing. Avoid costly visits to the salon and expensive beauty products with gentle and simple athome treatments.
