Letter From the Lifestyle Team
NICOLE TAYLOR YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER
Fall is on the Horizon!
Your Lifestyle team is excited to share with you the latest edition of the Lifestyle Magazine. Inside each month’s publication, you will receive updates on the Resort Management team, community happenings, as well as events and activities that are coming up.
Our Lifestyle program here at Skye Ranch has seen some big and exciting changes! The Hub and its amenities are fully open for Member use, and we had a wonderful time celebrating the doors opening with each of you on the fourth of July. As we start getting into the fall season, we have a lot of fun and festive activities on the calendar. We’re putting a twist on our monthly Member Minglers – join us for Tailgate Night in September and a classic Halloween Costume Party in October! The 3rd Annual Witches Ride returns to Skye Ranch on October 12. You won’t want to miss out on this fun and philanthropic event, hosted by our very own Skye Ranch Members!
The Skye Ranch community continues to grow and so does our team! We’ve recently welcomed James Ingram, Assistant Lifestyle Manager who has been focusing on our Skye Kids programming and aiding our Group & Club Leaders. Chris Ostema, Maggie Troxel and
Angie Hernandez joined our Fitness & Athletics team with positive energy and a passion for all things fitness! Kelly Abston has been promoted to Grounds & Facilities Maintenance Manager – you’ll frequently find him cruising around Skye Ranch on the golf cart and ensuring our community is in shipshape! Eden Hurley, Selah Hildreth and Grace Makowske join our Resort Concierge team, and Abby Kawecki and Evan Vazquez will be serving you up at the Café! Come down to the Hub and meet your Resort team!
As you start planning your social calendar for the next few months, please be sure to log onto the community website and register for all events and activities that you’re interested in attending. If you registered for an activity that you are no longer able to attend, simply contact your Lifestyle team to be taken off the registration list. Registrations are important so proper accommodations can be made for our Members. If you have any suggestions or feedback on current or upcoming programs, please reach out to a member of your Lifestyle team!

Furry Friends
Meet Lucy
LOVED BY BOB & SUZANNE KIPLE
Tell us about your pet’s breed, age and birthday: Lucy is a rescue. Bob calls her a Florida Brown Dog. Even the vet and dog trainer can’t really figure out what she is! Lucy was born around the beginning of 2023.
What is your pet’s favorite pastime?
Lucy loves people and dogs. Once, she went to the dog beach and ignored the water! She loves a good tussle with one of her chew toys. Lucy enjoys sitting on “her” chaise on the lanai and watching the birds. She is in agility training, so on walks, she likes to jump over the Taylor Morrison parking barriers.
What does she get reprimanded for the most?
When left alone, Lucy sometimes can’t help herself. She has chewed through her mom’s shoelaces a couple of times and destroyed her
After spending many exciting yet hectic years in the events and entertainment industry working with major corporations and high-profile celebrities, Lindy decided to turn her true-life passion into her profession by helping people improve their lives with holistic nutrition and wellness techniques for the body and mind. Empowering and guiding people to achieve vibrant health and longevity is her life’s mission. Her commitment to teaching this very attainable lifestyle shines through brightly as she helps you cut through the noise and misinformation about current trends and fads in the wellness world.
Lindy’s focus is on educating people on the healing power of nutrition, and that health is a lifestyle that should never be about deprivation. Her quick-witted and creative approach will have you feeling relaxed and confident so that you can accomplish all your goals and achieve optimal health in no time!
Some of her specialties include fat loss, health hacks, healthy recipes and snack swaps, meal planning, pantry make-overs, toxin-free living, grocery lists and so much more! Lindy graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and is Board Certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. She has also received a certificate from the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
glasses once. Lucy even ate an entire package of hamburger buns from the kitchen counter. But she is still a puppy!
Tell us about the time you welcomed your pet to your loving home: Lucy was in foster care before in Ft. Myers. Her foster mom brought her to Fisherman’s Village in Punta Gorda to meet us, and it was love at first sight.

It’s Leave the Leaves Month!
You might think that gardening for wildlife is only something you do during spring and summer, but there are things you can do to attract and support beautiful butterflies, bees and birds year-round. Fall is a terrific time to keep active in your garden! Make it even better for the multitude of wildlife species that need fallen leaves as a habitat to provide cover to survive the coming colder months. Learn more and educate others on wildlife-friendly and neighbor-friendly landscaping practices all year long with National Wildlife Federation at nwf.org/LeavetheLeaves
