Another summer has cruised by so quickly. But the beginning of autumn is my favorite time of year. I love the warm low-humidity fall days with the sweaterwearing evenings. It is the time of year that I like to take road trips to view the brightly colored leaves on the trees and take tons of pictures trying to capture the endless clarity on a sunny day. The perfect temperatures really tempt me to take off from work and set sailing on my bicycle. I think that I experience ‘fall fever’ instead of ‘spring fever.’ I see it as a time of celebration –a change - a new season! But could it be that since my birthday is in September that I see it as a time of celebration? Uhumm…could be! But I must forget about taking off from work. There is too much work to be done…but I still have fun! And all of us will be having fun at the 19th annual Women In Business (WIB) Conference scheduled for September 12, 2012, at the Southwest Virginia Higher Ed Center. This year’s event will have a special guest of honor, Stella Parton. Please join us! With lunch included, reservations are strongly suggested, so call today. See ad on page 18. As a ticket holder, ask about purchasing a table space to promote your business. Tune in on Daytime TriCities September 11, 2012, for the return of Voice Magazine for Women bringing a regular monthly segment. Each month Voice Magazine will share tips, info, etc. on a special topic. Don’t miss this month’s special fashion segment.

Thought of the month - “When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.” Helen Keller Verse of the month: “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)

The Happiest Place on Earth
info@millerstire.com • www.millerstire.com
(Tax included. Most vehicles)
Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. Walking through Disneyland, I knew I was in for a great day. How could it not be? I was in the “Happiest Place on Earth.” However, as I looked around at this happy place, I had to wonder. Amidst this giant playground was a lost child, a man nursing a painful sunburn, a little one who had fallen and skinned her knee and a crying baby. As I took this all in, I couldn’t help but think, even in the happiest place on earth, there is still suffering. Isn’t life like that? For some, our happiest place is with our family and friends or on a walk on the beach. Daily, we cannot escape suffering no matter how hard we try. As much as we want to be, Christians are not exempt. When the Bible talks about suffering, it is considered a common human condition. Sometimes suffering is used for correcting, sometimes it is used for God’s glory, sometimes it is used to build our character, and sometimes one person suffers for another’s benefit. Yet, there are times when we really don’t understand why we or others suffer. Like Job, we seek to trust God and endure. God wants us to experience great joy. I believe that wholeheartedly. On the flip side, suffering is a part of the human condition. How can these two things exist handin-hand? Since everyone suffers, the important question becomes, how do we respond to suffering when we experience it? In this area, there is a lot to learn from Job. He didn’t try to get in God’s way, he didn’t try to explain God or defend Him. He directed his friends and neighbors back to God. Job realized something very important: He had to “let go and let God.” Job understood that he was not in control and that God was. Perhaps you are in a season of hurt right now, a season of suffering. In this moment, like Job, it may not be clear why you are suffering. Your role in this season is to rediscover and reach out to the Lord, knowing that He will help you through this trial with His strength. In this way, at the end of the day, you will be able to rejoice in who God is -- even in your time of suffering.

Fall Fashion Tips By: Sloane Trentham Uphoff One minute it’s roasting outside and the next it’s chilly. How is a girl to pick an outfit when the temperature changes so fast? In this tricky period between summer and fall, finding weather-appropriate clothing is a challenge, and Voice Magazine has a few tips and tricks that can make this transition a little easier. 1. Incorporate tights when wearing a summer dress. Instead of putting your dresses in a drawer and forgetting about them until next year, keep them hanging up, and add some tights or even a cardigan. 2. Step into fall boots to wear with shorts. Boots f tham Uphof are one type of shoe that cannot be worn in the Sloane Tren riter W d an r ito Copy Ed scorching heat of summertime, but they go great with shorts and sundresses in the fall. They really pull an outfit together and work until it gets too cold to bare your legs.
5. Drape a scarf around your neck. Save the heavy wool scarves for really cold weather, but a light, cottony scarf is a great accessory that can be used as a shawl if you get cold. 6. Wear sandals with light sweaters. One good way to turn fall clothes into a transitional outfit is to wear sandals with them. Keep your pretty toes showing for as long as possible. 7. Show off your shoulders. An off-theshoulder sweater can be worn several different ways, including over a tank top or dress or by itself with a pair of jeans. Just make sure that if straps are showing, they aren’t from a bra. 8. Sport the light jacket. A jacket or cardigan can go over any top, whether it’s a tank top or a dress. Take it off when it gets hot, and slip it right on when it gets cool. 9. Be prepared. Keep a pair of rain boots, rain jacket and umbrella with you so you don’t get caught in a sudden downpour.

3. Pair summer accessories with fall outfits. A neutralcolored beachy handbag goes with everything, even fall colors. Keep the spirit of summer sizzling year-round with your purse. 4. Fashion yourself in a maxi skirt. You still get the femininity of a skirt without showing too much skin when the weather is not as warm.

Every year in Tennessee alone, 4,680 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. Out of those women, half of them turn The American Cancer Society for help and support. “Breast cancer is insidious,” said WJHL’s Sara Diamond. “It destroys lives. It wreaks havoc on families. It doesn’t wait, and it doesn’t rest.” The ACS event, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, is a three-to-five mile walk held every year in communities across the nation to help fund research, allow easier access to mammograms and raise awareness about breast cancer. Although Making Strides is 20 years old, this is the first one in the Tri-Cities. Since Making Strides began, death rates from breast cancer have dropped more than 30 percent. “Eventually we will win the whole war,” said Sara as several pictures of past events flashed across a big projector in the pink and white decorated room at the kick-off breakfast event held on August 14 at the Millennium Center in Johnson City. Several of the people in the pictures had the words, “I am a survivor” or the name of a deceased loved one on their backs. Sara, along with Mark Baker from 98.5 WTFM emceed the event and introduced several survivors and ACS volunteers who encouraged everyone to get involved. “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is an opportunity. It’s a chance for you to become part of something larger,” said Mark. The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K will be held on October 14, 2012, at the Millennium Center Courtyard in Johnson City at 3 p.m. “On that very powerful, very touching, very motivational day, community members from all walks of life will join together to do all that can be done in this fight,” said Sara. “Because unfortunately breast cancer has no boundaries, and it does not discriminate.” For more information, visit www.cancer.org/makingstrides.

Ponder the Possibilities The staff at Ponder Auto Repair loves a challenge. They have strived “to fix the problems no one else can fix” since 1982, when owner Brian Ponder opened the auto repair shop. “At the heart of our philosophy is customer care, customer awareness and customer education,” said Brian. “When you look at the people on our staff, several things jump out at you: experience, longevity with Ponder and top industry certifications.” In fact, Ponder Auto Repair is the only shop in Johnson City to have earned the Blue Seal of Excellence from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). The ASE is a non-profit organization that works to improve the quality of vehicle repair by testing and certifying automotive professionals. All Ponder Auto Repair technicians are certified by the ASE. The company also maintains a membership with the Automotive Service Association (ASA), which is an organization for owners and managers of automotive service and repairs to consumers; The International Automotive Technicians Network (iATN), a group of automotive technicians around the world who share knowledge and experience; and Be Car Care Aware, a
campaign aimed at educating consumers on the importance of vehicle maintenance and saving energy. In 2009, an accidental fire damaged Ponder Auto Repair’s facilities. Already in the process of remodeling the old Market Street Car Wash to expand the business, the staff and several volunteers worked to get it up and running at the new location within three days of the fire. Today, the old building is almost repaired to be used for storage and office space. “We would like to thank all of those that kept us in your thoughts and prayers which gave us the momentum to carry on and not let this setback drown our passion for repairing your vehicles,” said Brian. Ponder Auto Repair maintains and repairs most makes and models of cars and all problems from brake and air conditioner adjustments to tune-ups and engine improvements.

September is National Home Furnishings Month The month of September is National Home Furnishings Month, and this does include all rooms in your home – even the kitchen. With the cooler weather approaching and the holidays in the near future, now is the perfect time to charge up the kitchen with some changes and updates. And according to moneycrashers.com, the best time to buy a new appliance is during the months of September and October. During these two months, manufacturers unveil their latest models. This means that the previous year’s models must be discounted in order to make room for the new models that will hit stores in the winter. Basic kitchen appliances have gone through major upheavals and technological advances. From open fire pits to voice-activated stoves, the underlying principles in kitchens have remained the same - accessibility, convenience, usability, work space and comfort. And of course, the kitchen must meet the needs of the cook -- or the household chef! With more entertaining and extended family get-togethers, one reason to update the kitchen relates to your comfort level. In an existing kitchen, each item may have its place and the person who uses the kitchen does not have to make too much of an effort to access these items. But over time, families
grow, and while “a place for everything and everything in its place” is maintained, the kitchen lacks harmony and is no longer functional. In reviewing a new kitchen design, appliances should be the most important aspect in the planning. Even in making minimal changes to the kitchen, it will often translate into cooking arrangements based on a few important points. For example, how often you cook? Do you have a large family? Do you entertain often? Do you enjoy friends dropping by? How much time do you spend in the kitchen? Most families spend more time in the kitchen as a family than any other room in the house preparing meals. Whether you are updating from cabinets to appliances, it will be the details that add performance and comfort to your kitchen, but it also adds value to your home. One of the top reasons home buyers will purchase or not purchase a house is the overall kitchen appearance. In preparing to furnish or refurnish your kitchen, keep in mind this is an investment in your home, future and lifestyle. Summing up, when thinking home furnishings, don’t overlook the kitchen. These days there are new appliance models and new gadgets that can almost cook the meals without you . . . well almost!
Don’t Settle for Less Sale! Take advantage of the services we offer: • Appliance selection to fit your needs • Professional installation • Professional service & repair • Courteous and knowledgeable staff
Receive a $100 to $ 1,000 MasterCard® prepaid card by mail when you purchase 2 or more select KitchenAid® appliances.

JOHNSON CITY, TN Shop Locally Get the Jump on Seasonal Cleaning By Crystal Robertson, UT Extension Agent- Unicoi County
Summer officially ends on September 22nd . . . so how about marking it with a bout of spring cleaning?! While that may sound like a contradiction in terms, stop and think about it. Warm summer months mean vacations away from home and more time spent outdoors. But while you were Crystal Robertson out enjoying yourself, dirt and grime didn't take a vacation. They sat around the house, accumulating and multiplying. And now, with the winter months ahead and the holiday seasons rushing in upon us, it's an ideal time to get a thorough house cleaning under way! Take Stock- Before you begin, take inventory of your cleaning supplies, recommends Nancy Bock, Vice President of Education at The Soap and Detergent Association. Make sure you have the products you need for the surfaces you plan on cleaning. Review the information on the product labels to make sure you are using them properly. As you clean, pay attention to where your products are stored. You may decide that future cleaning will be more efficient if you keep sets of supplies in different parts of the house – for example, one set on each floor or an extra set in the master bedroom suite or in the laundry room. Be sure you store your items where children and pets can't get to them. Also consider adding a small hand-held vacuum in various locations so it's easy to scoop crumbs off the kitchen floor, hair from the bathroom countertop and dust from the den. Expand Your Reach- Go beyond the usual vacuuming, mopping and dusting. Look up, and get rid of the cobwebs that have
accumulated in the corners and around the light fixtures and ceiling fans. If necessary, invest in a telescoping extension pole so you can adjust it to the length you need for dusting those high-up places. Move the furniture, and send those dust bunnies scurrying. Wipe down the baseboards. Tackle the Refrigerator- Check its contents for expiration dates. Discard anything that has overstayed its welcome. Then remove and clean each shelf. Work one shelf at a time so that food won’t have to stand out at room temperature. Once the inside is clean, take a look at the outside. Dust and lint buildup can reduce the cooling performance of your refrigerator. Remove the grille, and vacuum the coils, or clean them with a long-handled brush. If it’s not a built-in model, pull it away from the wall, and vacuum or sweep behind it. Launder Lavishly- Launder all washable comforters, mattress covers, pillows, bed skirts, curtains, blankets, throws and slipcovers. Turn mattresses, and vacuum them thoroughly. Refurbish the Furniture- and Care for the Carpet Take a close look at your upholstery. Remove the cushions and vacuum thoroughly, using the crevice tool to get into those hard-to-reach places. Check the carpet for spots and stains. This may be the time for deep cleaning all these surfaces. Looking for more cleaning ideas? Follow me on Pinterest! http://pinterest.com/acrystallynn.

One Festival, Th ee Days and a World of Stories! National Storytelling Festival will be held October 5-7
More than 30 years ago, the residents of Jonesborough pulled a wagon into Courthouse Square and played host to the first National Storytelling Festival. That simple event sparked a revival of appreciation for storytelling that has swept across the globe. In 1975, the National Association for the Preservation and Perpetuation of Storytelling (NAPPS) was formed to produce the festival. Over the years, the name was changed to reflect the expanding focus of the organization. The International Storytelling Center serves as the home for and a tribute to the world’s storytelling renaissance. The 2012 National Storytelling Festival
will be held October 5, 6, and 7, 2012 in Jonesborough, Tennessee. Pre-registration Pricing Ends Sept. 21, 2012 Regular Programming is scheduled from 10am 10pm Friday and Saturday and from 10am - 4:30pm Sunday. On Friday and Saturday, Ghost Story Concerts are from 8 - 10 pm – separate tickets required. Midnight Cabarets are from 10:30 - midnight (separate tickets required.) Please note: All tickets for the National Storytelling Festival must be picked up in person at Festival Registration in the Visitors Center on Boone Street in Jonesborough, Tennessee when you arrive.

VISION AT DELPHINancy Fisher Vision at Delphi is comprised of poems arranged around women's issues, based loosely on the Greek goddesses, who represent psychological truths in the lives of women, just as much now as then. The first section of poems is dedicated Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Artemis is next, with poems that most reflect the Women's Movement. The Hera poems both celebrate marriage and challenge certain assumptions. Next is Aphrodite, ah Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty. And then there is motherhood represented in the Demeter poems. The Persephone poems are the darkest of the lot, but even the maiden is allowed a ray of sunshine and may rejoin the world of the living.
NEW RELEASE FROM LITTLE CREEK BOOKS! Moon Over Taylor’s RidgeJanie Dempsey Watts Avie Williams Cole has a mission: take a quick trip to Georgia to settle her father’s estate. Too busy to go, her attorney husband, Michael, sends her off with their asthmatic son, Joseph, to keep her company. In tiny Taylor’s Crossing, Avie settles in but is soon thrown off course by overbearing and meddling family members and her son’s fascination with a legendary Cherokee silver mine. Their search for the silver mine leads her up to Taylor’s Ridge and to a new friend, Will. As her stay lengthens, her life begins to unravel even as she begins to blossom and make new friends. For the first time in her life, she must learn to stand on her own and find her way. Will she stay with her husband or choose a new love? And how can she hold onto the red land she cherishes? This is a great read to recognize September 16 as Trail of Tears Commemoration Day!

Bristol Rhythm and Roots Singer/Guitarist Spotlight
Amythyst Kiah-
Making Music Her Own Way
By: Sloane Trentham Uphoff
Photo By Randy Gentry
Amythyst Kiah is scheduled to perform at Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion this year.
When she is at work behind the cash register at Target, Amythyst Phillips, aka Amythyst Kiah, sometimes gets recognized by fans. “It’s really strange,” said Amythyst, a Chattanooga native who moved to Johnson City six years ago. Amythyst performs around the Tri-Cities, playing guitar and singing mostly old-time music, which is a genre of folksy music with roots from all around the world. Right now, after getting her bachelor’s degree in Bluegrass, Old-time and Country Music, Amythyst is working on her master’s degree to focus on African American music. “There is a whole rich

history there,” said Amythyst. “It is talked about some, but I wanted to learn more about it.” She writes songs that stem from old-time music, and she believes understanding the origin of the music that she writes and plays will only make her better. To make them her own, she takes traditional songs from different time periods and puts a contemporary spin on them. Photo Contributed “There is old EngIish ballad Amythyst is pictured in a recording studio called ‘Pretty Polly,’” she said. “I while working on a school project. wrote an updated version of ‘Pretty Polly,’ and I made it so it was the woman that kills the man.” Although she has been playing the guitar for 12 years, she didn’t start singing and writing songs until close to four years ago with encouragement and support from her father. She has taken only two singing lessons in her life. She also plays in the ETSU Old Time Pride Band, which she loves. “My ultimate goal is to spend my life doing anything involving music,” she said. “I would love to be an international recording artist and travel.” In fact, back in April 2011, she recorded a seven-song EP to play at Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion with Grammy winner Martin Walters, an ETSU professor who has worked with artists like Patti Labelle, Esperanza Spalding, Melissa Etheridge, Sarah McLachlan and Emmylou Harris. “We hashed it out in like, two days,” said Amythyst. “It was kind of stressful because I had exams coming up, but it turned out really well, I think. I’ve been able to sell quite a few of those and had to order more. My big thing is just to get out there more and play more.” Amythyst said she doesn’t get to play as much as she’d like to, mainly because of school. However, last year at Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, she played three one-hour sets in one night, which she said was a very interesting experience. “I played with the ETSU Pride Band at the restaurant KP Duty, and then 15 minutes later I played a solo set at Acoustic Ale House, and then 15 minutes later I played at Troutdale Bistro,” she said laughing. “Luckily though, they were all in straight line. I’ve never done anything that intense before.” This year, she is looking forward to playing at Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion again, which will be held September 16-18.

Stella Parton to speak at the Women in Business Conference International award-winning recording artist, Stella Parton will be a keynote speaker at the Women in Business Conference in Abingdon, Virginia, on September 12, 2012! Stella's entertainment career is filled with awards, accolades and credits from film and television to the music industry including writing, producing and releasing her first hit record, "I Want To Hold You In My Dreams Tonight." At that time, few women dared to put on a producer's hat, but that risk gave Stella her first Billboard hit and propelled her career into the national spotlight. Obviously, Stella is not one to be held back by the proverbial "glass ceiling," and while she loves writing and performing, it's also a tool to help others. Her latest project, an inspirational memoir, “Tell It Sister, Tell It,” is changing lives. While promoting her book at book signings, speaking engagements and concerts, Stella often speaks of the domestic violence situations she has faced in her life including being kidnapped and taken out of the country - startling revelations, even to family and friends closest to her. Her message to those listening, "Don't be a victim and don't let the hardships and struggles you face define your life!" She comments, "If just one woman can be saved from a domestic violence situation that is my true reward." Stella has also released a companion CD with “Tell It Sister, Tell It,” comprised of self-penned songs written at different stages in her life. Like her diverse life, Parton's music is just as diverse, blending her influences of gospel, country, blues and Appalachian music into her signature sound. Stella is honored to be a part of the Women In Business Conference and will share stories from her own journey to success, professionally and personally.

The Eyes Have It:
REHAB
September is Sports and Home Eye Safety Month According to Prevent Blindness America, September is Sports and Home Eye Safety Month. From eye protection to prescription glasses and fashion eyewear, national standards help people across the country protect one of their most treasured senses: sight. Swimming, playing ball and wrestling are among the many sports that present a risk of injury to the eyes. However, eye injuries don’t just occur from an accident like getting hit by a ball – they can also come from everyday occurrences. Extended time in the sun can expose the eyes to excess UV radiation, which has been shown to lead to cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Sunglasses are an inexpensive and stylish solution, and American National Standards exist to ensure that they offer the necessary protection to keep eyes safe. Eye safety is an everyday issue for those people with impaired vision. Millions of Americans rely on contact lenses as an attractive, convenient and comfortable alternative to glasses; however, consumers must be careful to follow the guidelines for cleaning and changing lenses in order to protect their eyes from damage. Make an appointment with Ophthalmologist for guidelines for proper care for your eyes; the sooner the better. Make up your mind that you'll make a determined effort to take better care of yourself, and you'll have the ability to reverse or prevent troubling eye conditions or ailments that can plague you your whole life through to old age. What NOT TO DO: smoke; overwork your eyes with television, computer or sunlight; expose eyes to dusty, dirty areas where germs and foreign particles can invade your eyes; continually rub your eyes which may cause serious conditions like conjunctivitis and carry germs and viruses to spread like wildfire; read under dim lighting or in semi-darkness which causes eye strain. Best tip: try your best to incorporate these good habits into your daily routine until they become part of your schedule. They should become as natural to you as breathing!

• Is Rehabilitation required? Listen to your doctor. Inpatient or outpatient? Inpatient rehab is required when patients require intensive (24 hour) therapy services and medical management. Inpatient rehabilitation is delivered in a specialized hospital that focuses on physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy. Care in this setting is coordinated by a doctor who specializes in rehabilitation medicine. Patients also receive care from nurses with specialized rehabilitation training. After inpatient rehab, most patients return home often with outpatient rehab or home health services. Outpatient rehab is used for people who are living safely at home, but require rehab therapy to help them live free of physical limitation or pain. Outpatient rehab is delivered at specialized centers, so people receiving this level of care are able to travel. Usually patients receive about 12-15 one-hour therapy sessions over the course of a four-week period. After Outpatient Rehab most people are discharged with no further services. The bottom line is that taking charge of your well-being is the key to successful aging. It's never too late to improve your health. If you haven't had a recent medical check-up, then schedule a physical exam.
Be kind to your skin from the inside to the outside Laser Las ser Skin Care Caare
Are you looking for ways to keep your skin looking young and wrinkle free? To recognize that September is National Skin Care Awareness Month, here are some tips for caring for your skin year round! These tips will ensure that your skin looks radiant and youthful every day.
Beauty from Within Most often people tend to concentrate only on using creams and lotions that will help fade the signs of aging from the outside, but they fail to recognize the old adage “you are what you eat” is never truer than it is with your skin. For instance, foods with high antioxidant levels, like blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and plums, can help neutralize free radicals that can damage collagen and elastin, proteins that help maintain skin’s elasticity and tone. Therefore, in a skin care regime, include the use of antioxidants. Other foods rich in antioxidants are tomatoes, tea, citrus fruits and dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants that help protect your skin, and eating a small piece will send all sorts of satisfied, happy feelings to your brain. Red wine is also packed with antioxidants that will help keep your skin healthy and protect against free radicals, so have a glass (note we said a glass, as in one.) Almonds are one of our favorite healthy snacks, and munching on them will help give you super skin. The naturally sweet nut is a good source of omega-3s (good fats) and vitamin E, two things that keep your skin cells plump and healthy.

After 90 Days of using TNS Essential Serum alone, patients saw: Female, Age 40 (Baseline)
• 44% reduction in course wrinkles
Take a moment out of your day to enjoy a steaming mug of white or green tea, both of which can do wonders for your complexion by adding a blast of hydration to your skin cells. A good healthy and well-balanced diet is essential to maintain a healthy body that will stay well preserved for long periods of time. Most often, drastic skin changes are symptoms of underlying health conditions that should be addressed to ensure a truly healthy complexion.
• 37% reduction in fine lines • 100% improvement in textural smoothness • 89% improvement in textural roughness
Drink Water Drinking plenty of water is another important factor in skin care as it serves to flush out all the toxins and also aids in the proper circulation of the blood, resulting in skin that is brilliant. Our skin is comprised of 90 percent water. Without the right amount of water to keep that level, the skin tends to be unhealthy and dry. In fact, dehydration does not affect the skin alone, but the rest of the body as well, including the vital organs like kidneys and lungs. Most people with great skin swear by this method of skin care!
Keep Stress in Check Stress is a thief that steals without warning and over time will play havoc with your overall wellbeing and appearance. Continuous stress is your enemy. It takes a toll on nearly every part of your body, including your skin. To keep that frazzled feeling under control, regularly practice stressmanagement techniques, like yoga, deep breathing, meditation and of course, regular exercise such a brisk walk, dancing or playing sports, such as tennis, etc. A good workout doesn’t just burn calories, it helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to your skin. Get your blood flowing and your skin will thank you!
Have Sweet Dreams The lack of sleep leads to increased levels of stress hormones in the body. Chronic high levels of stress hormones in the body cause increased inflammation within the skin that subsequently leads to an acceleration of aging (wrinkles!) and worsening of acne. Sleep deprivation reduces the skin’s ability to stay hydrated and supple, leading to a dull, dehydrated appearance. People with poor sleep habits can have trouble with skin sensitivity and irritation due to a reduction in the skin’s ability to protect itself from chemicals and pollutants in the environment. Sleep offers the kind of results that no face cream can mimic. And Dr. Oz states that this is number one in overall skin care!

Don't Smoke Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — the fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles.
Avoid Sun Exposure One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.

Getting sick or having an illness can happen at any time. What if you may need a doctor's care right away? Or maybe you do not have a life-threatening emergency and would like to avoid the long lines at an ER. Has it ever happened that your own doctor cannot see you on short notice due to holidays, after hours or heavy scheduling? Then a walk-in medical care center is for you. Walk-in clinics are facilities that are physically separate from a hospital and offer extended hours of service, and they accept patients without an appointment or a referral. The physicians and medical staff at walk-in clinics and medical care centers are committed to providing the best and most comprehensive medical care. The main mission of a walk-in clinic is to provide the best patient care without the long waits associated with emergency rooms and overbooked primary care offices. While a primary care office might provide one with the best personalized care, walkin medical clinics are committed to doing the same when primary care is unavailable. A big advantage of walk-in clinics is that they remain open all year round, and they are often open 7 days a week, 365 days a year to care for all the non-life threatening medical issues. In a walk-in facility, there is no need for appointments, and on average a patient can be seen in and out in less than an hour, which is much less time than in an ER or in most primary care offices where you have to wait to be seen. Convenience is another major benefit of going to a walk-in clinic. You can follow up with their staff with ease. If you are at an ER, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get the doctor who treated you before. At a walk-in clinic, you can request to make a follow-up appointment with the doctor who saw you so that you do not have to explain everything to a stranger. In honor of Family Health and Fitness Day on September 24, take the time to locate the nearest walk-in clinic. It may be prove to be a valuable time-saver for your family health!
Surrendering the Secret

“Proudly Serving Northeast Tennessee for over 18 Years”
Sponsored by Agape Women’s Services
Have you ever had a secret that made you feel so shameful that you didn’t want anyone to discover it? For many of us, a past abortion is that secret. It is a proven statistic that 43 percent of women of childbearing age have had or will have an abortion. If you’re reading this, chances are that you or someone close to you is part of that 43 percent. Abortion is often touted as an easy solution to a difficult dilemma, and when you feel trapped, you look for “easy” solutions. Abortion is not an easy solution. It often brings with it symptoms of a post-traumatic stress disorder that can affect your life for many years; even a lifetime. That was my story, my life. I had an abortion in my early 20s but then proceeded to bury the memories and feelings associated with that experience deep inside; so deeply that I never spoke of it or even thought of it. After all, it was another lifetime ago or so I had convinced myself. Almost 20 years later during a difficult time in my life, the painful memories and feelings erupted, and I was forced to face and deal with those long-ago decisions and the long-lasting, far-reaching effects on my life. Through God’s providential intervention, over a period of a couple of years, I was led down a path of forgiveness and healing. At Agape, we certainly don’t condone abortion but neither do we condemn any woman who is suffering the painful, often soul-searing, long term and far-reaching effects of such a decision. Instead, we are called to walk with her through a Biblically based program as she experiences the forgiveness, healing and restoration that can only be found in Him. That is why we are sponsoring “Surrendering the Secret,” a confidential 8-week Bible study designed to help post-abortive women deal with the very real fall-out from that so-called “easy” solution. If you or someone you know has suffered through the pain of abortion and would like more information to register for our next session, please call Sandy at 423-737-2347. All inquiries are kept strictly confidential.

September Is National Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Month As the month of September brings leukemia and lymphoma into focus, it’s time to increase public understanding of these diseases. Leukemia and lymphoma are both hematologic malignancies, meaning that they involve the blood or bone marrow. Staying informed with the latest news on prevention, screening and treatment is an important step in reducing your risk of developing leukemia or lymphoma or achieving the best possible outcome from treatment.
