Letter From the Lifestyle Team MINDY NASH YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER Happy Fall ! SEP/OCT 2022 ESPLANADE LIFESTYLE 3 Mindy
I am excited to announce that we’ve had quite a successful summer with lots of activities both at the Esplanade Sales Gallery and out and about. We had a very successful July Fourth BBQ with entertainment and delicious food, an ever growing pickleball social every other week, and some fun Sunset Sips with music by Chip and Chris.
Looking ahead, we have an even greater variety of activities coming with lots of outings, socials, and games. We look forward to a fabulous Labor Day BBQ, a quaint Oktoberfest Party, and a Spooktacular Halloween Boo Bash! As we welcome more and more Members, we anticipate a greater turnout to events, and hope to make many more memories. Whether you’re already a current, new or prospective Member, please don’t hesitate to contact me for any of your Lifestyle needs. My email is MNash@Evergreen-LM.com, and I am just a simple click away. Anything that you all need within the Lifestyle realm, I am here for you!
Mike has been with Taylor Morrison for seven years and appreciates working for a company that understands the industry as they do.

Scrappy is a 12-year-old male terrier mix with a cute overbite and a Massachusetts attitude! He loves walking outside and taking trips to the dog park. Scrappy is a sweet boy but does get feisty around bigger dogs he doesn’t know. He loves car rides, antler bones for chewing & tug of war with Oliver. He prefers the cooler weather and his favorite activity is looking for bunnies while on his walks.
furry family
Oliver is a six-month-old Parsons Jack Russell terrier who is very active and will always give 110%. One of his favorite things to do is play with his idol Scrappy. Oliver is still in training and gets very excited to meet people & other dogs. He loves to sit in the grass and watch the birds, and also loves riding in the Jeep.

id you know, Yoga can lower stress and improve nerve function, which leads to an increased state of mental health and wellness? Studies show yoga may improve blood glucose levels due to improved muscle mass. Yoga incorporates fluid movements that build strength and balance and is helpful for people with a variety of chronic conditions, including diabetes. Yoga is also an excellent form of exercise to improving flexibility. In fact, the American College of Physicians recommends yoga as a first-line treatment for chronic lower back pain.

editation is the habitual process of training your mind to focus and redirect thoughts. Did you know meditation can be used to increase awareness of yourself and your surroundings? Meditation is often used as a way to quiet the mind, thus reducing stress and developing a deeper level of concentration. If you are interested in meditation practice, download the Headspace or Calm Apps on your smart phones and set an alarm to schedule time to meditate. Start early. Try to meditate first thing in the morning. If you’re a beginner, try meditating for short periods of time at first, as long stints of meditation could be challenging. Be kind to yourself. Some days will be easier than others. At its root, meditation is about learning how to treat yourself with kindness no matter what you may be experiencing at any given moment. Remember that it’s a meditation practice, so it’s not always going to be perfect.
r. Jack Gorman and Gerri Morrison are both from Pennsylvania and live in Esplanade at Tradition with their dog, Suzy (a Westie). Jack, Gerri, and Suzy are thrilled to be new full-time Florida residents. Dr. Jack was a podiatrist whose specialty was foot and ankle surgery, and Gerri was an elementary school teacher who was a reading specialist. Jack enjoys watching sports and fishing and Gerri enjoys reading and playing golf. They both cheer for all Philadelphia sports teams and their favorite destination to travel to is Aruba where they enjoy the island life with the varied activities and exceptional seafood restaurants.
