EDITOR
NOTE
Happy 2020! I hope you and yours had a magical holiday season and are off to a productive new year. I’ll be honest, I’m having a hard time believing 2019 is over! The year seemed to fly by at a record pace. As I reflect on 2019, it was one of my favorite years! My family celebrated many milestones and accomplished several personal goals we’ve been working towards for years. This quote from e.e. cummings has resonated with me as I’ve prepared this issue of The Grand Season Family: Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human experience. This month’s issue of The Grand Season Family is about Fresh Starts. The new year is full of so much potential and opportunity, the question is: What are you going to do to make this year different?
Do you believe in yourself enough to risk curiosity? Wonder? Or, spontaneous delight? This quote makes me want to pack my self-doubt and discard it, so I can experience life in unexpected ways. I hope this issue of The Grand Season Family, inspires you to approach 2020 with a new attitude, and a fresh start. I want to encourage you to stop thinking about what you could have done yesterday and start planning what you’re going to accomplish tomorrow. Happy New Year! Melissa McCullough Associate Publisher

YOU
LIVE BETTER Make 2020 your year!
As you dive into 2020, try these tips to make your life more manageable.
Do one thing at a time Multitasking doesn’t make you more efficient, but it does stress you out, according to mindfulness expert Pedram Shojai. “If your focus is fragmented, you’ll likely find yourself getting anxious as new items come up when old ones are still incomplete,” he says. Instead, he suggests organizing your activities into chunks of time, such as kid time and cooking time, and then “commit to being focused in those allotted minutes and see what happens.”
Take the stairs Take 10 minutes to run up the stairs in your office or home. A study in the journal Physiology & Behavior found that tired women who climbed stairs for 10 minutes got a bigger energy boost than those who had the caffeine equivalent of a can of soda or half a cup of coffee.
Start doing yoga with your partner A Sunday morning couples’ class could make Sunday afternoon much more fun. Experts at Loyola’s Sexual Wellness Clinic believe partner yoga helps couples get more comfortable with each other’s bodies, a boon for better sex.
Delegate more chores Money can’t buy happiness—but it can buy time. A large study found that people who spent money on time-saving services, such getting someone to clean the garage, obtained greater life satisfaction and happiness than those who shelled out for material goods.
Explore new hobbies Another sleepy Sunday? Today’s the day you try Ethiopian food, attend a ballet or take a painting class — whatever feels fun. When researchers followed 7,500 people for 25 years, they found that those who complained of major boredom were roughly twice as likely to die from heart disease.
Play upbeat music Research shows that blasting any happymaking tune can work multiple mind-body wonders, including reducing pain during exercise, elevating mood and lowering stress.

Go to bed on time, with your partner Getting sufficient sleep can make you feel ready for action. A study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that women who got more sleep had more desire the next day and an easier time becoming aroused. Every additional hour they slept increased their likelihood of having sex by 14%, so skip latenight web searches and hit the hay.
VOLUNTEER
MLK DAY
The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Jan. 20, 2020, marks the 25th anniversary of the day of service that celebrates the Civil Rights leader’s life and legacy. Observed each year on the third Monday in January as “a day on, not a day off,” MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. The Corporation for National and Community service has been charged to lead this effort for the last quarter century.
Give yourself more compliments Repeat this daily: “Today is my day. I’m thankful for me.” Positive self-talk can help you focus on what’s good in your life. Research shows that a little vitamin G (for gratitude) can make you feel happier and more satisfied and even improve your sleep.
Drink up You know you need to hydrate—but it’s especially important when you get only six hours of sleep (or less!). You’re more likely to be dehydrated the day after a short night of sleep—because a hormone that regulates your body’s water conservation is released in later stages of sleep, so down some extra water on those days.

LOVE
STRONGER TOGETHER Resolutions couples should make
This time of year, it’s natural to focus inward, thinking about healthy new habits, self-improvement and professional advancement. Consider channeling part of that fired-up New Year’s spirit into your bond with your partner, too, resolving to not just spend more time together—but to do it all better, with these easy tips for improving a relationship at any age or stage.
Ask more questions And pay attention to the answers. Resolving to be more inquisitive helps both of you: You become more engaged (“Why was that meeting so stressful?” “How could you make that project a little more fun?”), and the give-and-take pushes you to be thoughtful about your own day, routine and work.
Turn complaints into questions Before you blurt out exactly what’s on your mind—“You work so much, I never see you!”—think about your intent. What are you trying to say? In this case, say you want to spend more down time with your partner. Then put yourself in his shoes. Rather than hearing a complaint, wouldn’t you rather hear, “I miss you! I’ve been feeling lonely.” He may not immediately solve the problem of working overtime, but asking him more about the situation starts a conversation.
Talk a little less, and touch more Sound counterintuitive? The thing is, for couples that have a hard time communicating their emotions, a big hug can go a long way. Resolve to hold hands every time you watch TV or walk down the street or hug each other every morning or evening—or both.
Alternate who’s in charge of planning date nights When it comes time to decide what to do, just the two of you on Saturday night, get away from “groupthink”. Take turns planning dates, and keep your plans a surprise until the night of the date to maintain a sense of mystery and excitement.
Take a break mid-fight to say “I Love You” It might be the last thing on your mind, but when things get heated, try to get those words out. Instead of ratcheting up emotion, you can diffuse it. “I love you,” remind you both of the big picture. And in the cool-down period afterward, you know everything’s going to be good.

Compliment, praise and thank more than you nag Try to keep feedback of all sorts balanced. Better yet, keep things more heavily weighted in the positive. It’s easy, especially as the years go by, to forget to thank your partner for the little things he’s always done. If you catch yourself doling out criticism, remind yourself to verbalize compliments and appreciation that day, as well.

Make time for sex Yes, we’re all busy. Yes, we’re all tired. But sex (not to mention intimacy) is good for your health, your mood and your relationship. Feel like you can never find the time? Plan time for sex. What you lack in spontaneity, you just might make up for in anticipation.
Let it go In every committed relationship, there are things one party might like—no, love—to change. Maybe it makes you crazy that your husband leaves his water glass on the table or leaves the lights on. Let it go. To gain a little perspective, imagine what your life would be like if the water glass wasn’t there (and neither is he). When you think of it like that, those annoying little things aren’t that hard to let go.

HEALTH
CAN’T SHAKE IT?
You could be making your cold worse
The average American, after all, gets two to three colds a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Most colds last only three to five days, but you can still be congested or have a cough for up to two weeks. The trouble is, colds can linger longer or get worse as a result of lifestyle habits and behaviors, including those you might otherwise have thought were healthy. Have you made any of these mistakes?
Mistake #1: Not backing off your intensity at the gym.
Exercise can be a mental godsend when you’re sick, lifting your spirits at the very least. But don’t take this as permission to give it your all when you’re sick, or you could make yourself worse. If you have a fever, cough, chest congestion or upset stomach, hold off on all exercise until those symptoms resolve.
Mistake #2: Telling yourself you’re not sick. If you’ve always subscribed to the mind-over-matter philosophy when it comes to recovering from colds, give it up. Pretending you’re not sick might not encourage you to dial back your activities, which means you could overexert yourself, thus making symptoms worse and delaying recovery.
Mistake #3: Skimping on sleep.
Sleep might sink to the bottom of your regular to-do list—the CDC reports that one in three Americans don’t get the sleep they need—but when you’re sick, sleep becomes even more critical. Inadequate sleep can reduce the function of the immune system and prolong recovery from colds. The problem is, cold symptoms like coughing and congestion can keep you awake when you’re trying to sleep. If that’s the case, try using over-the-counter medications to sleep better.
Mistake #4: Consuming alcohol.
Forget the myth that alcohol kills all germs, therefore it’s okay to indulge. When you’re under the weather, avoid all alcohol. Why? Because, alcohol directly suppresses your immune system and tends to be dehydrating, thus harming your immune system and prolonging your illness. Alcohol can also interfere with your sleep, which is a crucial part of recovery.
Mistake #5: Overusing decongestants.
Decongestants can certainly make you feel better, and even sleep better, which can shorten the course of your cold. Using a nasal decongestant for longer than one or two days, however, could spell trouble. When used beyond three days, experts say topical decongestant nasal sprays can make your congestion worse.

meaningful progress on debt reduction? If your answer is “Having one card totally paid off,” then throw as much money as you can toward the card with the lowest balance first. If your answer is “Boosting my credit score,” then tackle the card with the highest utilization rate (that’s your balance divided by the card’s limit).
2. Ask your creditors for lower interest rates Often, a simple phone call to the issuer, is all it takes to get a reduced rate—provided that you have good credit (a score of 730 or higher) and you are a long-term customer who makes payments on time. You could get a percentage point
or two shaved off, which can add up to hundreds of dollars saved annually. One tip to try: If you’ve been offered a lower rate by a competitor, tell a customer service rep from your card issuer. There’s a chance they’ll match the offer.
3. Transfer your balance (cautiously) It’s tempting to move a balance from a card with a high interest rate to a card with a substantially lower one. And potentially that’s a smart move; you can save hundreds of dollars a year. But be careful. You should transfer a balance only if you’re committed to paying off the debt within an introductory low-interest-rate window and to making monthly payments

on time. Otherwise your rate could skyrocket, possibly ending up higher than the one you just got rid of.
4. Make two minimum payments each month. Card issuers typically charge interest on a daily basis, so the sooner you make a payment, the faster your average daily balance is reduced, which translates into fewer dollars in interest that you ultimately pay. If you’re on a tight budget, go ahead and pay the minimum due each month, then try to make the same payment again two weeks later. Keep making a payment of the initial minimum-due amount twice a month until your debt is paid off.

KIDS
GUILT FREE
Parenting resolutions for the New Year This year, it’s time to eliminate parenting guilt by making resolutions you can implement. Give your children your best self by embracing these habits on a daily basis.
Be present
Commit to becoming a more mindful parent in 2020. Start by reducing distractions: lock your phone in a drawer until your kids are at school, check emails only at specific times and set your to-do list aside until they’re in bed. Give each one of your children your undivided attention for at least 10 minutes a day. Look them in the eye when they speak, listen carefully to what they’re saying and respond thoughtfully.
18
The Grand Season family
Manage screen time
Studies have found that too much screen time reduces brain connectivity in children and that smartphone addiction creates an imbalance in the brain chemistry of teens. Resolve to reduce your family’s screen time by a certain percentage this year.
Reduce yelling
We all yell at our kids sometimes, but we know deep down that it isn’t a positive parenting practice. Learn to interrupt the yelling cycle by using techniques such as S.T.O.P.: Say it out loud (I’m feeling frustrated), Turn around (away from your kids), Observe the situation (take some deep breaths and decide how to turn it around), and Praise (yourself for breaking the cycle).
January 2020
Focus on the positives
Research shows that the brain tends to recall negative events more accurately than positive ones. Although you can’t avoid scolding your children, you can balance it out by creating two positive interactions for every negative one. Positive exchanges can include a simple smile, hugs and kisses, praise for a job well done, reading a book together and going out for ice cream.
Lighten your load
Are you constantly running from one activity to the next and barking at your kids to hurry up? You’re not alone. We live in an overscheduled world where busyness is highly valued because we equate it with success. Resolve to schedule fewer after-school activities and social engagements this year.
Practice self-care
You’ll be a calmer and happier parent if you take care of yourself by getting enough sleep, exercise, healthy food and downtime. Write out a self-care plan that’s both realistic and effective when it comes to keeping you happy and sane. It might be three yoga sessions, two coffee dates with friends and only two candy bars per week.

Salsa Verde Ranch Taquitos INGREDIENTS Cooking spray 12 small corn tortillas 2 c. shredded cheddar 2 c. salsa verde ranch chicken dip 1/3 c. freshly chopped cilantro DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 425° and grease a small baking sheet with cooking spray. Place tortillas on a small, microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave until tortillas are warmed through. Keep warm. Assemble taquitos: Spread about 3 tablespoons dip on one side of tortilla, sprinkle with cheese and cilantro. Roll up tightly and place on prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Bake until golden and cheese and is melty, 10 minutes.
MAKE THE PICO DE GALLO In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. MAKE THE BEEF In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes. Drain excess fat, then add garlic, cumin, paprika, and Cholula hot sauce, and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and set aside.

In the bottom of a 110-oz. tin can, spread a thin layer of cheese sauce. Using a ¼ of the tortilla chips, make an even layer of chips over the cheese sauce. Top with 1/3 of the remaining cheese sauce, 1/3 of the cooked beef,1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the shredded cheese, 1/3 of the remaining pico de gallo, and 1/3 of the remaining sour cream. Drizzle with Cholula. Repeat layering the chips, cheese sauce, beef, black beans, remaining shredded cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, and Cholula two more times. Layer the remaining nacho chips on top. Place a dinner plate on top of the can and carefully flip over and slowly remove the tin from the nachos, leaving a nacho tower behind. Top the nacho tower with the reserved sour cream, pico de gallo, and shredded cheese. Drizzle with Cholula before serving.

LIFE HACKS
Taking notes can help you retain more information, suggests a study from Princeton and UCLA, as taking notes makes you more likely to process the information and reframe it in your own words.
GOING BACK TO BASICS
Look professional and stay organized at your next meeting. Taking notes will exude professionalism, a positive mindset and encourage your client, you have taken this opportunity seriously.
Having a visual representation of your schedule will provide you with a sense of control that is hard to obtain while looking at the small screen on your smart device. Some say the most organized professionals are those who use multiple tools to keep track of their goals, objectives and responsibilities.
Going old-school may also help you identify chunks for free time you can use to accomplish personal needs while heading to an area that is not on your normal weekend route.
LOVE
Tracking life in one place (off of your digital device) can also help prevent committing to things you can’t do well.

STORAGE Things you should always store in your medicine cabinet SOLUTIONS
HOME
Your toothbrush
While it’s tempting to keep your toothbrush on the sink, inside the medicine cabinet is a far better place for it to stay germ-free. A 2005 study revealed that particles from flushing the toilet can reach up to 2.7 feet away, and while we all know you flush with the lid down, guests (and potentially kids) may forget.
A first aid kit and additional supplies
The medicine cabinet is an ideal spot for a first aid kit, giving you easy access to all of your triage supplies in one place. A good kit should contain a variety of items, including bandages, antibiotic cream, instant heating and cooling packs, hydrocortisone, anti-itch cream, gauze, hydrogen peroxide, etc.
A digital thermometer
Digital thermometers are made to withstand heat, so they’re perfectly safe to store in a hot bathroom. When taking temperatures, however, consider moving to a cooler room.
Tweezers, nails clippers and other tools
Tools such as tweezers, nail clippers, and scissors tend to get lost under the sink or in vanity drawers. Keeping them in the medicine cabinet makes them much easier to find, especially when you’re in a pinch and need to remove a splinter or hangnail.

Things you should never store in your medicine cabinet Medicine
It might be a tough pill to swallow, but a medicine cabinet is actually one of the worst places to store medication. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, heat and moisture can cause pills and capsules to become less potent.
Razors
The medicine cabinet seems like a perfect place to store extra razors, but moisture and humidity can cause the blades to rust before you use them. Talison

Vitamin C
Vitamin C, sometimes labeled as ascorbic acid, is a very popular ingredient in skincare products right now. Unfortunately, heat reduces its potency, so store those serums and moisturizers somewhere else.
Benzoyl peroxide
From spot treatments to cleansers, benzoyl peroxide is a common ingredient in products formulated to treat acne. Even without the heat and moisture of a medicine cabinet, however, these products are only potent for approximately three months.
Anything preservative-free
Products labeled natural, organic or chemical-free tend to be made without preservatives. Preservatives are necessary for withstanding heat and moisture, so these items may be more susceptible to bathroom environments.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren. Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.” Sue Royer Director

TEEN
THINGS TO SAY When your teen is stressed out
1. I love you. The first thing because it’s the most important thing. I’m saying it even though I hope you know it’s true without being told. I’m saying it even though you might give me an eye-roll in return. 2. Take a deep breath. Slow breath in, slow breath out. Repeat. You might have to fight yourself to do what feels like nothing, when what you want to do is something. But the point is to hit the pause button and reset your racing mind and emotions so you can fix the problem, not feed it. 3. I’m already proud of you. How I feel about you does not hinge on this test, this paper, this project, or this game. Entirely apart from any of this, I’m proud of who you are and of who you’re becoming. I’m proud of what you’ve already done and of the effort you’ve put into the doing. 4. This is not your whole story. Whatever is going on right now is not your entire life right now. And it is not all there ever will be to your life. This is part of your reality, but it is not all of it.

5. How you feel at this moment is not how you’re going to feel forever. You’re not going to be stuck here for the rest of your life. This is not your new normal. I know getting to the other side might seem like it’s taking an eternity, but at some point (probably sooner than you’re expecting), you’ll suddenly realize you’re looking back on this instead of staring straight at it. 6. Remember how you’ve gotten through tough times before. This isn’t the first time you’ve felt this way, and it won’t be the last. But so far, you have a 100% success rate of surviving things you thought you’d never get through. Don’t let this current struggle make you forget your past successes. 7. Just do the next thing. The next right thing you can figure out to do. The next thing that needs to be done. The next thing that seems wise and productive. The next one thing, not the next ten things. 8. Is there anything I can do to help? I know you have to figure this out on your own. I know I can’t do it for you. I know it’s not my job to fix it. But if there’s something I can and should do to help you get from here to there, tell me, and I’ll try to do it. www.grandseasonfamily.com
GROWTH
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT? Become your best self!
“Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.” Ralph Waldo Emerson We’ve all made mistakes throughout our lives that haven’t exactly put us in the best light. Chances are however, you probably felt a little guilt and grew because of the situation. If you want to continue to grow as a person, here are some ways to become the best version of yourself.
1. Compliment yourself.
3. Let go of anger
Letting go of anger is easier said than done. While anger is a perfectly normal emotion, you can’t let it fester. When this happens, you may make unwise decisions, and more important, it may affect your health.
4. Be honest and direct
If you want to be a better person in either your personal or professional
Every morning before you go on with your daily routine, take a couple of minutes to give yourself a compliment. Whether you compliment your outfit, or how you recently completed a task using your unique skill sets, giving yourself a little emotional boost will make you happy. And, when you’re happy with yourself, that emotion can be contagious to those around you.
life, you should always tell the truth and state as clearly as possible what you are trying to convey. Learn to articulate your thoughts, feelings, and ideas in an open and honest manner.
5. Be yourself
Stop trying to be like everyone else. Focus your attention on aligning yourself with your values and beliefs, establish your identity, build courage, create boundaries, and find focus and direction.
6. Be respectful
Be respectful of others’ time, thoughts, ideas, lifestyles, feelings, work, and everything else. You don’t have to agree with any of it, but people have a right to their opinions.
7. Surprise people
2. Don’t make excuses
How good does it feel to make someone smile? It feels pretty good, right? Surprise your loved ones or co-workers now and then, with a gift, a night out on the town, or by offering help when you know they could use it.
Blaming your spouse, boss, or clients is fruitless and won’t get you very far. Instead of pointing fingers and making excuses about why you aren’t happy or successful in your personal or professional life, own your mistakes and learn from them.

Becoming a better person doesn’t happen overnight, but it is possible.

HERE’S A TIP
Be sure to eat a hearty breakfast before heading out to the airport. Pack a piece or two of whole fruit or a portion of nuts for snacking, and bring an empty water bottle so that you can make it through airport security and fill the bottle when you are at the gate. Being hydrated and having healthy snacks will make your travel experience more pleasant.
A potato peeler plus a bar of chocolate makes for a very fancy garnish for cake tops or even for hot drinks. Potatoes can be boiled whole, then plunged into icy water briefly when cooked. The skins should slip right off. No need to spend all that time peeling potatoes!
According to waste management company Republic Services, approximately 30% of what Americans place in their curbside recycling bins does not belong there, including greasy pizza boxes, wet cardboard, plastic bags, food-tainted materials, and even bowling balls and garden hoses. Meanwhile, only one in four plastic bottles is recycled.
Paper lunch bags make excellent receptacle for cat litter waste. They are much more environmentally friendly than plastic bags, and can be folded down and placed directly into an outside trash can. The bags are easily stored near the litter box, because they lay flat.
Do you need to go to a fancy liquor store for simple syrup? No way! Simply mix equal parts sugar and water, bring to a simmer and store in the fridge in a covered jar. Use in drink recipes and to sweeten iced tea.
