It takes a village.

We’ve all heard this saying a thousand times, but it isn’t until we are faced with hardships of our own that we realize the truth of this statement. I realized it quickly when I was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer three years ago.

My l i f e q u i c k l y spiraled into a series of events that would forever change me. My community, this Lake Travis village, came out to support me in such amazing ways. There were those who comforted me and lifted me up, and continue to until this day. Then there were others who brought me groceries and meals. My family took care of my kids while they stayed in Lakeway and my husband and I were in Houston. My dear friend, and dentist, made me an appliance that would allow me to be understood, when the tumor left a hole in the roof of my mouth and sinus cavity. There were prayer groups and cards of encouragement, along with inspirational gifts to give me hope and blankets to keep me warm. There were acts of kindness that were immeasurable and appreciated more than words can say. But, THANK YOU! It was the support of my village, along with my faith, that made me want to be a part of a bigger community called Relay For Life.

Last year, as I chaired my first Relay For Life event, I saw this village come out in force, by participating in the Relay For Life of Lake Travis and raising over $98,000. The support for the cause, this time The American Cancer Society, was once again overwhelming.

It’s a cause that resonates with everyone. We have all been affected in some way by cancer.

How does Relay For Life support this village directly? Research dollars from the American Cancer Society helped fund research that led to the development of Gleevec and Tamoxifen, as well as the Pap Smear for early detection of cervical cancer. If you have received treatment with either of these drugs or had a pap smear, you are benefactors of Relay For Life dollars. In addition to this amazing research, the Society is currently funding different types of help right here in our area. Patients have access to resources like wigs through Look Good Feel Better®, support groups through Reach To Recovery®, and rides to and from treatments through Road To Recovery®. There is a 24/7 hotline (1-800-227-2345) that can provide you with nearly any imaginable information about cancer, treatments, studies, clinical trials, support groups, medical questions and much, much more.

Around Bee Cave (Continued from Page 5) Cancer.org is another resource available because of Relay For Life dollars. All of the American Cancer Society programs and services are free to the patient because of you.

This year’s Relay For Life of Lake Travis takes place on 4/16 at the Lake Travis High School track from 6PM until Midnight. It’s not too late to be a part of this amazing event! Register or donate at www.relayforlife.org/laketravistx . As you supported me, and so many others in their own journeys, I ask that you continue by supporting the future of this event. Did you know that Relay For Life is a volunteer organization? It’s an organization that needs you!

With the tenure of this volunteer Committee coming to a close, it is crucial that we find other leaders to carry on the legacy that we started last year with the biggest Relay event in Lake Travis history.

Lake Travis is a village built on legacies, and please be a part of this one. There is so much more we can do, and so many more people we can help. Won’t you be a part of it? Because it truly takes a village.

For information on how to volunteer for next year, please contact Cassandra.richards@cancer.org.

RETIRE BETTER

COMFORTABLY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH JOSH STIVERS

“Buy Low, Sell High”… Sounds so easy doesn’t it. For years I have heard this mantra repeated time and time again.

Everyone has.

From beginner investors to the famous gurus, everyone knows this is the basic idea behind successful investing. So here’s the question…..if everybody knows this simple rule, why is it so hard to implement?

I would argue that psychology plays an enormous role in differentiating brilliant investors from the rest of the herd.

Sir John Templeton expressed this best when he said, “To buy when others are despondently selling and sell when others are euphorically buying takes the greatest courage, but provides the greatest profit.”

Having the opportunity to “buy low” is generally surrounded by some sort of negative circumstances. Superior investors are able to assess the environment surround a set of negative circumstances and determine there is value in purchases a depressed asset. An example of this would be a real estate investor who purchases a suite of foreclosed homes back in 2008 and waited for the market to recover.

Most people have the tendency to buy when everyone else is buying and sell when everyone else is selling. This is not always the best approach when you have a desire to outperform the marketplace over time with reduced risk.

“From time to time we see rabid buyers or terrified sellers; urgency to get in or get out; overheated markets or ice-cold markets; and prices unsustainably high or ridiculously low.”

– Howard Marks

By following the emotional tendencies of the marketplace, you are almost guaranteed to have less than stellar results.

In order to succeed in the midst of emotional markets requires skepticism mixed with a balance of pessimism and optimisim.

When you see a trend in an investment, you often should be a bit skeptical of the direction it is taking. If the asset seems to be valued higher than you would prefer to pay for it, then skepticism mixed with pessimism that others are buying for the wrong reasons. If the asset seems undervalued, then skepticism that people are making a wrong judgement would require a mix of optimism that you believe the price will recover.

Investment success requires being comfortable in the uncomfortable scenario that your investment decisions vary from popular opinion. This is what I call comfortably uncomfortable investing. In order to implement this concept in light of “buy low, sell high”, you have to buy when everyone else is selling (and the price is thus low) or you’re selling when everyone else is buying (and the price is high). This can be a very lonely strategy at times, but look at the Warren Buffett’s of the world and you will see that it is often lonely at the top.

The amount raised from tea ticket sales and donations is a record setting $4,800. This money will benefit so many wounded veterans, who have valiantly served our country.

Almost 200 women attended the high tea with proceeds benefitting Help Our Wounded. Many participants competed for prizes by decorating tables with many different and creative concepts.

The mission of HOW is to help wounded veterans and their families with necessary financial assistance to ensure the assistance is a hand-up not a hand out. HOW is unique in its ability to respond quickly to the veterans’ needs. “What a stunning group of ladies, surrounded by beautiful tables settings and all for a worthy cause to help our wounded veterans and their caregivers. Thank you for being a part of healing American heroes,” said Rosie Babin. To learn more about HOW go to helpourwounded.org.

Doors open at 6 PM; dinner served at 6:30 with the show following. All three performances typically sell out quickly, so make your reservations early!

Friends of the Parks Prepare for the

WILDERNESS RUN & WALK Saturday, April 16th 9:00 AM Hamilton Greenbelt I in Lakeway It was in 1998 when the Friends of the Parks of Lakeway started their first annual fund raiser, The Wilderness Run & Walk in the Hamilton Green belt I in Lakeway. Eighteen years later, this community event has grown to over 100 participants and is enjoyed by runners, walkers, young families with strollers and dogs on leaches. “What makes this event so unique is that you can enjoy a scenic run or hike that rivals many state parks, without leaving the Lakeway area. ” said Sheryl Kelly, Co-Chair of the Wilderness Run. On Saturday, April 16 at the Hamilton Greenbelt I, located across from the Lakeway Justice Center, the Friends of the Parks will have their 18 Annual Wilderness Run. Registration will start at 8:00AM and this FREE race will begin at 9:00AM. Commemorative T-shirts will be available for $15 with all proceeds from donations and sales going to the maintenance of the trail systems in Lakeway. There will be a DJ providing music, light refreshments , and a brief award ceremony for the top finishers . “ I encourage the community to come to the event and enjoy a morning at the park and learn more about what Friends of the Parks is all about “ Kelly continues. For more information regarding Friends of the Parks or how to register for the Wilderness Run & Walk, please contact Co-Chair Sheryl Kelly at 512 997 8880 or visit our website http://www. lakewayfop.org/.
