EARTH, WIND AND FIRE SANG ABOUT IT. Neil Diamond sang about it. Even Frank Sinatra sang about it. September! I can think of a good 20 songs about the month of September. So what is it about this time of year that makes us want to sing about it? September marks the end of summer as we await the brisk, fresh air of autumn. It marks the return to school and routines. And for us here at Franklin LIfestyle, it marks a celebration of all things style! In this issue, style means many different things. We feature makeup styles, hairstyles, fashion styles and even closet styles! Your personal style is a reflection of your personality, lifestyle and taste—we're simply here to inspire. But we also break the style ranks to bring you a peek inside September's upcoming Pilgrimage Festival and give you a recipe idea for what to do with all the summer fruit you have left in your fridge. We always look for ways to put our best foot forward, so as we enter this new season, we hope we have helped you do the same.

Learning to Thrive with
Avenida Cool Springs
Nikki Jo Boston Avenida Cool Springs Resident Enrichment Director At Avenida Cool Springs, we believe that providing our residents with a rich array of services and programs—along with a great place to call home—is the key to active, healthy, and engaged living. That is why we offer our Five to ThriveTM Resident Enrichment Program, which was developed utilizing findings from a 10-year study on aging. The study found that five key areas have been shown to have a direct impact on healthy aging: Life Activity, Material Security, Physical and Functional Fitness, Cognitive Efficacy, and Social Resources. Our Five to Thrive program addresses these five areas with daily classes, events, and social opportunities. As the Resident Enrichment Director at Avenida Cool Springs, I manage the community’s rich calendar of physically invigorating, mentally enriching, and socially stimulating activities and resources. My goal is to make sure each resident is able to engage in programs that support their passions and enhance their quality of life, while addressing our five key areas of healthy aging. Let’s explore one of those key areas in more detail: Cognitive Efficacy. Exercising the body is important for our health and well-being, but an activity that is equally important is exercising the brain. Cognitive Efficacy is focused on keeping our minds alert and interested with brain-enhancing activities, which is essential in fighting the onset of dementia. Furthermore, Cognitive Efficacy is also focused on preserving our overall sense of wellness because it reflects our belief in our own mental strength—it is our ability to think about things quickly and accurately, and our confidence to follow through with those thoughts. When we feel mentally sharp, engaged, and competent, our entire sense of well-being is improved and strengthened.
OUR FIVE TO THRIVE CALENDAR PROVIDES A NUMBER OF EXPERIENCES TO HELP OUR RESIDENTS FOCUS ON THEIR COGNITIVE EFFICACY: Board Game Nights
Trivia Nights
Creative Arts Classes
Technology Classes
Language Study
Educational Lectures
Our community is now open! Visit us today to learn more. Be sure to save the date for our Five to Thrive focused event, “Rethink Possibilities” on October 3rd. Call 615.502.2657 for more information and to RSVP! AvenidaCoolSprings.com • 222 Mallory Station Rd., Franklin, TN 37067

Paula determines how many artists she’s going to be working on. It’s usually no more than three. Female clients get about two hours, and male clients get one hour, so it’s usually one female and two males. She makes sure brushes are clean and she has the right hair products for the style they’ve chosen. She packs a female kit (including things like false eyelashes, glue, etc.) and packs a boy kit. She may shop for a new product like a new eye color.

A HOUSE PURCHASE INTENDED TO SYMBOLIZE A FAMILY’S RISE RESULTS IN ITS FALL IN ANN PATCHETT’S LATEST NOVEL
ARTICLE RHIANNON JOHNSON
NASHVILLE’S PARNASSUS BOOKS CO-OWNER AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR ANN PATCHETT’S LATEST NOVEL, THE DUTCH HOUSE (SEPT. 24), DROPS READERS INTO A SPRAWLING MANSION FULL OF STRAINED FAMILY CONNECTIONS. As World War II comes to an end, Cyril Conroy catapults his family from poverty to enormous wealth as he builds his real estate empire. To celebrate his success, he purchases the Dutch House, an opulent 1920s estate in the Philadelphia suburbs, as a surprise for his wife Elna, setting the unraveling of his family into motion. Complete with life-size portraits of the original owners (the Dutch VanHoebeek family), a ballroom and household staff, The Dutch House overwhelms Elna so much that she abandons her husband, her 10-year-old daughter, Maeve, and 3-year-old son, Danny, to serve the poor in India. In dark fairy tale fashion, when stepmother Andrea arrives with her two daughters, it is clear that she loves The Dutch House but not her stepchildren. She banishes Danny and Maeve after Cyril’s sudden death, and the siblings must rely on each other as they find themselves thrown back into poverty. The house itself becomes a character that looms large, affecting the lives of all of its inhabitants in this decade-spanning story full of one family’s dysfunctional relationships and stolen inheritances. Written in her legendary prose, Patchett delivers a story of banished and bonded siblings navigating the complex and ever-changing layers of love and forgiveness, while simultaneously pushing readers to analyze the stories we tell ourselves about our own lives.
PATCHETT DELIVERS A STORY OF BANISHED AND BONDED SIBLINGS NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX AND EVER-CHANGING LAYERS OF LOVE AND FORGIVENESS
Ann Patchett is the author of seven novels and has been the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships. Her work has been translated into more than thirty languages. In November 2011, she opened Parnassus Books in Nashville with her business partner, Karen Hayes. She has since become a spokesperson for independent booksellers, championing books and bookstores. In 2012, she was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Patchett lives in Nashville with her husband, Karl VanDevender, and their dog, Sparky. You can subscribe to her blog, Notes from Ann, featuring book recommendations, exclusive commentary, articles and more.

The first thing a designer does is walk into the space with the customer to find out what is and isn’t working and what to focus on. “Our designers are well-trained to know what’s going to be the most functional design for the space, but they also base the design on what the customer’s interest and wants might be,” Sandra says. They basically bring a showroom on wheels to the home, which consists of a mini closet, color samples and other types of samples and pictures. They start out with a great template, and customers can then add options from the a la carte menu. This way, they can pick and choose what is most important to them while staying within their budget. In one sitting, which takes about 1 1/2 to two hours, they can design, measure and price the entire space. Once the plan is finalized and ready to go, an appointment can then be made for the installation date. “What we want our customers to understand is that it’s not just a job for us,” Sandra says. “It really is something that we love doing, and we enjoy being in this business.” CLOSETS BY DESIGN 118 Fort Granger Drive, Franklin 615.261.8700 Nashville.ClosetsByDesign.com 42

BACK STAGE
Keith Urban
MUSIC STYLE: COUNTRY
MAKE THE PILGRIMAGE
ARTICLE MARIA DINOIA
Born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, Keith Urban is one of country music’s biggest superstars and most talented musicians. Keith released his debut self-titled album in 1999 and has held a position on the top of the charts ever since. It isn’t often that a music career can span 20 years, but it’s Urban’s talent and true musicianship that has kept him there. His reputation as a premier songwriter, vocalist, musician and virtuoso guitarist has afforded Urban the opportunity to collaborate with the likes of The Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Steven Tyler, John Fogerty, Alicia Keys, Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift, Vince Gill, Eric Church and Carrie Underwood, to name just a few. The recently crowned 2018 CMA Entertainer of the Year and four-time Grammy Award-winner, Keith released Graffiti U, his ninth studio recording earlier this year. The Grand Ole Opry member has also won 13 Country Music Association

Foo Fighters
MUSIC STYLE: ROCK
Foo Fighters’ frontman Dave Grohl has previously been described as “godlike,” as “one of the most influential rock musicians of the previous 20 years” and as “the coolest guy in rock today.” He brings all that and more to the Foo Fighters, the band he’s been with since late 1994. Previously, he served as Nirvana’s highly regarded drummer for four years until Kurt Cobain’s death and Nirvana’s subsequent dissolution. Foo Fighters’ longevity is proof of Grohl’s unwavering talent. Throughout the course of the band’s career, four of its albums have won Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album and three Grammy’s for Best Hard Rock Performance for the songs “All My Life,” “The Pretender” and “White Limo.” Their most recent album, Concrete and Gold, was the band’s ninth studio creation that spurred the hits, “Run” and “The Sky is a Neighborhood.” PilgrimageFestival.com
