Food Donations for Boca Helping Hands Have Decreased by 40%
Boca Raton, FL (April 16, 2025) –Boca Helping Hands, which provides food to the underserved, has received 40% fewer year to date donations of food, with a cost deficit of nearly $1.1 million ($1,078,000). As of March 1, 2024, the organization had received 1.4 million pounds of food, as compared with 866,000 pounds of food by March 1 of this year, a drop of 40 percent.
Boca Helping Hands’ year to date USDA commodities food donations have been reduced by 100,000 pounds as of March 1. Fresh produce from area farms is down 150,000 pounds, in part due to pauses in grant dollars to the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative.
Boca Helping Hands (BHH) is a community-based nonprofit in Palm Beach County, Florida that provides
food, medical, and financial assistance to help individuals and families improve their quality of life and build financial stability. Through its various programs, BHH assists nearly 35,000 people annually.
“The demand for our services and food has greatly increased since preCovid, due to the higher cost of living. Our donations, however, have fallen by 40%,” said Gregory Hazle, Executive Director for Boca Helping Hands. “Donations tend to fall even more during the summer months. Food drives, conducted by individuals, businesses, places of worship and the like, are tremendously helpful in feeding local families in need.”

Delray Beach’s Hero Melissa Perlman Shines at the 2025 Boston Marathon
Delray Beach’s Melissa Perlman, a proud Spanish River High School alumna, delivered an unforgettable performance today at the 2025 Boston Marathon—her professional debut at age 42.
Crossing the finish line in 2:42:28, Perlman set a new personal record and secured 57th overall, 29th among Americans, and 10th in the Masters (over 40) division. The result not only shaved 28 seconds off her previous marathon PR but also crushed her past Boston time by a full seven minutes.
Perlman’s journey to this point is one of resilience and dedication. A former Florida state champion in high school and a collegiate runner at Brown University. However, by her sophomore year in 2002, she became disheartened by the lack of progress in her times and results, and ultimately decided to step away from the sport. It wasn’t until nearly a decade later—after volunteering as a coach at her former high school—that her love for running was reignited.
57th overall, 29th from the US, 10th Master (over 40). This was a 28 second marathon PR and a whopping 7 minute Boston Marathon course personal best (from two years ago).”
She continued:
“The experience of running in front of tens of thousands of fans, having them yell ‘PERLMAN’ and cheer for me on what felt like a wide open road… hearing them say, ‘you got this Perlman,’ from mile 2 to 26.2 down the streets of Massachusetts was extraordinary and so much fun in every single way.” Her incredible return to competitive running began over a decade ago, after years away from the sport due to injury and career shifts. In 2011, coaching at Spanish River reignited her competitive spirit. Since then, she’s climbed the ranks, qualifying for elite fields and earning a place in Puma’s Project3, which supports late-blooming professional runners.
Bishop of Palm Beach Statement on Pope Francis Passing
life! God created us for life and wants the human family to rise again! In his eyes, every life is precious! The life of a child in the mother’s womb, as well as the lives of the elderly and the sick, who in more and more countries are looked upon as people to be discarded.
What a great thirst for death, for killing, we witness each day in the many conflicts raging in different parts of our world! How much violence we see, often even within families, directed at women and children! How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized, and migrants!
Over the years, Perlman steadily improved her marathon times, culminating in her qualification for the elite field at Boston. This accomplishment also earned her a spot in Puma’s Project3 program, providing support akin to that of professional athletes
In a heartfelt post shortly after the race, Perlman wrote:
“Boston, you were amazing.
2:42:28 at the Boston Marathon
Off the course, Perlman is the founder and president of BlueIvy Communications, a boutique PR agency based in South Florida. She runs the agency alongside her life partner, Mark Burns, who she thanked in her post: “Special thx to Mark Burns for everything you do.”
Melissa Perlman’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to dream big, work hard, and shine— whether on the streets of Boston or in the business world of Delray Beach.
“One of the myriads of wonderful characteristics for which Pope Francis will be long remembered, was his being known as a “Pope of Surprises,” and for presenting a surprise as a joy. While his death was not unexpected, it clearly was a surprise with it occurring immediately after the celebration of Easter and in view of his slow, but positive recovery. It was, as if, he taught us a powerful lesson on the true meaning of hope during this Jubilee Year of Hope which he gave us as we travel in this life as pilgrims of hope. He spent his period of Lent in “fragility,” his own description, and looked forward with great determination, in hope, to the fullness of life, which came to him at Easter. He was a man of tremendous hope, which he lived to the end, and which provided joy to all of us.
So much could be, and will be, said about his tremendous contributions to the life of the Church during his Pontificate. His final message on Easter Sunday, in his Urbi et Orbi address, a few hours before his passing into eternal life, speaks volumes to us at this time. He exhorted:
Christ is risen! These words capture the whole meaning of our existence, for we were not made for death but for life. Easter is the celebration of
On this day, I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!
We pray for our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis, and we have every confidence to pray to him, as well.”
In addition, we invite our faithful to pray the Novena provided by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Memory of Pope Francis.
Introduction: The entire Church mourns the death of the Holy Father, Pope Francis. In cathedrals, basilicas, parish churches, shrines, and chapels the Holy Eucharist will be offered for the repose of his soul. Communities and individuals will ask God to bestow his infinite mercy on the man who served the Church as Bishop of Rome.
This novena has been prepared to help pray for the Pope during the time of mourning. The daily novena – lasting for the novendiales period as directed by the College of Cardinals – consists of a short reading from Scripture or some other ecclesiastical text and some brief prayers, including orations drawn from the Roman Missal and the Order of Christian Funerals.

Maximizing The Leverage Of Our Latter Years
Years ago, I began writing a series of essays I called “Fourth Quarter Strategies.” The premise is that while every stage of our professional life is important, our final quarter should be our best. If we remain healthy, living to age 80 and beyond is a reasonable goal. That would mean the last 20-plus years of our lives could be the most productive of all – because of both expertise and experience.
Some time ago Alan Smith, a staff director for CBMC met with a small group of older Christian business leaders (some of them were retired). He encouraged them to recognize the incredible value they still had for the Lord as well as for younger professionals they interact with in the local marketplace.
Smith offered six Bible verses as “food for thought” that share one thing in common: All are found in the first chapter and third verse in their respective books. We believe this is not coincidental, but by design, to underscore the importance older followers of Christ have for God’s purposes. Here are those verses:
There is no time limit to being fruitful. “That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever they do prospers” (Psalm 1:3).
Wisdom is to be passed down through the generations. “Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation” (Joel 1:3).
We can serve as examples for others to follow. “We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 1:3).
Spiritual growth never ends. “We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing” (2 Thessalonians 1:3).
Our prayers make an eternal impact. “I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as
night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers” (2 Timothy 1:3).
Wisdom, understanding and faith are to be shared. “We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you may also have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ” (1 John 1:3).
As a fellow follower of Christ, I agree with Smith’s perspective on the value of our latter years. Many of us are less encumbered with work demands and more available to serve, teach, mentor and disciple others. God does not want us to sit back and put ourselves on a shelf for our remaining years on earth.
In his letter to the Church in Philippi, the Apostle Paul succinctly concluded, “to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). His life gives us a beautiful example of how to live our lives to the very end for the Lord Jesus. I encourage you to join me with the attitude of a distance runner determined to reach the finish line strong, focusing on the prize that lies ahead!
Reflection/Discussion Questions
How do you relate to the content of this Monday Manna? If you are a younger business or professional person, still building your career, have you taken advantage of the wisdom and experience of older colleagues? If you are in your latter years, have you recognized the value you can continue to bring to the workplace – and to those you encounter each day?
What are obstacles that can prevent or inhibit older and younger people in the marketplace from successfully interacting and benefiting mutually from one another?
If you are a younger person in the marketplace, and an older person were available to meet with you to offer his or her wisdom, experience and knowledge, what things would you like to receive?

Sin Has a Price Tag You Can Never Pay
“When sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.” Hebrews 10:18 (NLT)
In the Old Testament, the sacrificial system existed to show God’s people that a price had to be paid for their sins. But since Jesus’ death on the cross, there is now no need to offer any more sacrifices. Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice for everything you’ve ever done wrong.
You may feel guilty over something you’ve done wrong. You believe God has forgiven you, but you haven’t really felt that God has forgiven you, and you keep trying to make up for your sins. You may think going to church or tithing or being a good person will get rid of your guilt.
But you’re trying to pay off a debt that’s already been paid!
“When sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices” (Hebrews 10:18 NLT).
Jesus’ sacrifice was final. It was complete, and it is finished— then, now, and forever. That’s good news!There will never be anything more you can do to pay for your sin, because it’s already all been paid for by Jesus.
There’s no need to keep repaying for your mistakes.
An elderly woman went to her insurance company and told them, “My husband died five years ago, and I just can’t afford to pay his life insurance premium anymore.” They told her, “Ma’am, you don’t need to. It’s been paid off, and now you get to benefit from it. Because he died, you are now going to benefit from his death. You don’t have to pay anything anymore.”
In a sense, that’s what Jesus did for you.
As he was dying on the cross, Jesus cried out, “Tetelestai!” which means, “It is finished.” It’s been paid in full. You don’t have to pay anything more. You just get to benefit from it.
Forgiveness, salvation, and abundant life—they’re all yours when you accept by faith that Jesus’ death on the cross paid the price for every sin you’ve
ever committed and every sin you’ll commit in the future. Don’t wait. Receive his forgiveness today.
Talk It Over
What is the one thing you have believed God could never forgive? Do you now believe Jesus’ sacrifice is enough for even this sin?
Once you believe Jesus has forgiven your sin, what else might you need to do to experience resolution and restoration?
How often do you confess your sin? How does this affect the amount of guilt you carry with you?
Jesus paid it all.
The Bible says all people fall short of God’s perfect standard. Yet God still loves you—even though you sin and you’re flawed. In fact, God loves you so much that he sent his Son, Jesus, to cleanse you from your sins and to bring you into the family of God.
If you’re ready to enter God’s family, here’s a prayer you can pray: “Dear God, I know that when I die I’m going to give an account of my life to you directly. I confess I have ignored you. I know I have sinned against you, and I have lived by my plan, not yours. I want that to change, starting right now. I want to turn away from my sins toward you.
“Thank you for sending Jesus to die for all that I’ve done wrong so that I don’t have to pay the penalty. I know that I don’t deserve your forgiveness. I know that only by your grace I’m saved.
“Jesus, thank you for loving me so much that you took all my guilt on yourself. You made me acceptable for heaven, and I humbly ask you to save me. I ask you to save me from the sins and the habits that are messing up my life right now. I believe in you, Jesus. And I believe that you will keep your promise to save me instantly and certainly and completely and eternally. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
If you prayed the prayer above, please write and tell me at Rick@PastorRick.com. I’d like to send you some materials as you begin your journey with Jesus.

My low income qualified me for Medicaid but …
Dear Toni,
In January, I was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 60. A non-profit cancer program in my state was able to help me qualify for Medicaid to begin receiving medical treatment since I have a very low income and am uninsured. Right now, I am not paying anything for my cancer treatments. My chemotherapy will begin next week with the possibility of receiving a lung transplant in the near future.
Friends tell me I am crazy not to apply for my Social Security Disability since I need the income. Social Security has verified that I am eligible for disability and the amount I can collect will be over $2000 which is more monthly income than my state Medicaid program allows.
My mother advised me to contact you before I sign up for Social Security Disability and ask what I should do. If I lose my health insurance, my cancer treatment will stop. I would like to know what my best option is. Thank you, Toni!
— Cindy from Lubbock, Texas
Hi Cindy:
I am so glad that your mother gave you my information and you contacted me because enrolling in Social Security Disability would have been a medical and emotional disaster for you and your mom would be very sad.
The main qualification for Medicaid is that you must meet the specific income requirements for the state that you live in. If you make $1 too much — I repeat, only $1 — then you will lose your Medicaid benefits. Once you lose your Medicaid benefits, you will have to pay 100% for your cancer treatment because Medicaid will not pay for your health care. Then your troubles will really begin!
Cindy, your friends did not realize that when one qualifies for Social Security Disability, it will take 24 months to qualify for Medicare and your Medicare will begin on the 25th month. (Chapter 1 of the Medicare Survival Guide Advanced edition explains how to enroll in Medicare the correct way.)
My advice is to wait and apply for Social Security Disability after all your
cancer treatments are finished and you are released with a clean bill of health. I would not want you to put the mental and financial burden on yourself or your family about how to pay for your health care.
If you are no longer receiving cancer treatments covered by Medicaid when you are 62, you could apply for your early Social Security benefits. At 62, one receives 75% of their Social Security amount. You would not receive 100% of your Social Security benefit until you reach your full retirement age (FRA).
Cindy, you may want to explore at 62 if your Social Security amount will be more if you qualify for Social Security Disability once you no longer have the health issues and need to be on Medicaid. At that time you can apply for an individual health plan before turning 65.
Then at 65, apply for Original Medicare online at www.ssa.gov. Explore your Medicare options of either Original Medicare and enrolling in either a Medicare Supplement with a stand-alone Medicare Part D plan or a Medicare Advantage Part D plan. You should always confirm that your cancer/hospital facility and/or medical providers accept the Medicare Advantage plan that you are enrolling in, since the MAPD plans can be HMO or PPO.
With Original Medicare, the Medicare recipient can make as much money as needed and not lose medical benefits — unlike losing Medicaid and the important medical benefits Cindy currently has because she may make too much income with a Social Security Disability monthly amount.
Cindy, your friends meant well, but they do not know the Medicaid or Medicare rules and steered you in the wrong direction!

SOLVITUR AMBULANDO
By: Douglas G Logan
Decorum
It encompasses the principles of good manners, courtesy, and respect, including things like appropriate attire, speech, and conduct. Behavior in keeping with good taste and propriety. Nothing irks me more about the conduct of politics today than its absolute lack of decorum.
There used to be a certain gentility about the pursuit of the people’s business. There was a respect between opponents; an acknowledgement of the worthiness of one’s adversary. Rules were followed, there were red lines of rhetoric and conduct, adversaries would hear the other and attempt to find middle ground. No longer.
In a larger sense, the loss of decorum is generational and cultural. Slovenly dress is not only tolerated but admired. Insulting words have become the coin of the realm. Mediation is frowned upon. It’s win or lose; totally binary; all mouth and no ears.
The daily shenanigans of the current administration are totally lacking in decorum. I will get to that in a bit,
but Democrats should not feel self righteous about the path that got us here.
Liberal, Progressive demonstrators in the late 60s accosted me when I returned from war. They did not engage me in civil discourse and debate the merits of Vietnam. No, they publicly screamed at me in airports and even spit on me.
The debate in the Senate to approve the Supreme Court nomination of Robert Bork, Jr, in 1987 was one of the crudest, most bitter, political battles in our history. In 2011, New York Times columnist Joe Nocera claimed that “[t] he Bork fight, in some ways, was the beginning of the end of civil discourse in politics. The anger between Democrats and Republicans, the unwillingness to work together, the profound mistrust – the line from Bork to today’s ugly politics is a straight one”. It continues to this day.

Pope Francis Sails Straight to You Know Where
After a long, hard-fought battle against the terrorist pneumonia refusing to release its holy hostage, Pope Francis nevertheless triumphs and now just after Easter Sunday has set sail for his deserving reward–heaven.
His Holiness now sails toward his well-earned resting place, although he’ll probably not rest there either.
He will now be with his savior, Jesus Christ, the Lord God in heaven, where he’ll meet all the saints he worshipped and the dearly departed he so loved, all undoubtedly cheering the active reformer’s life and how he bravely lived it.
His legend began when some cardinals had started venturing further out for pastoral alternatives to likely contenders for the papacy.
Some began looking for a new source of inspiration, at different proving grounds for overcoming adversity, hardships and despotism.
They began to look at a part of the world heretofore untapped, yet full of promise for an invigorated new leadership for the Catholic Church that was burgeoning in an exciting and venturous part of the world, Latin America.
There was found Jorge Mario Bergoglio whom they elected Pope on March 13, 2013, at age of 76 to succeed Pope Benedict XVI and he took the name of Francis.
In those first 100 days of the electrifying Francis pontificate, he had taken the Vatican, and the world by storm—
“flipping the omelet” as he liked to say.
People were trying to fit him into straightjackets, said author Austen Ivereigh in his wonderfully insightful book “The Great Reformer” whose jacket cover is pictured above with the late Pope on sail heading for you know where.
“People were trying to fit him into straitjackets that just didn’t apply in Latin America an even less in Argentina where Peronism exploded the categories of left and right,” said Ivereigh.
The Great Reformer is the narrative thread throughout Ivereigh’s book about a wise church leader who from an early age felt called upon to be a reformer and tightened the authority to do so for the good of the Church, and more importantly, to the ultimate benefit of mankind.
May Pope Francis not just rest in peace but continue to keep reforming and inspiring us all to be kinder, more considerate and loving toward one another.
Tom Madden prays that we all learn from Pope Francis that we each have a role to play in reforming what’s cruel, selfish, misguided and unfair around us, which is why Madden created Planetary Lifeguard, Blowing the Whistle on Climate Change and why his PR firm TransMedia Group seeks to a cast media spotlight on companies doing good things like ROKiT Homes providing inexpensive housing for victims of floods, fires and hurricanes and Altitude Water providing pure fresh drinking water to those same victims.

Delray Medical Center Becomes First Hospital in Palm Beach County Recognized
as a Florida Resuscitation Center of Excellence
Delray Beach, FL – April 22nd, 2025— Delray Medical Center, part of the Palm Beach Health Network, has become the first hospital in Palm Beach County to be named a Florida Resuscitation Center of Excellence (FRCE) — a designation that highlights hospitals commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes in cardiac arrest care.
The FRCE program recognizes hospitals across the state that meet rigorous standards in cardiac resuscitation, strengthen collaboration with EMS teams, and lead the way in improving survival rates following cardiac arrest. By completing the attestation process and working closely with local EMS and medical leadership, Delray Medical Center has demonstrated its commitment to being at the forefront
of resuscitation care.
“This distinction is a testament to the incredible work of our physicians, nurses, and emergency medical teams who act swiftly and skillfully when every second counts,” said Heather Havericak, CEO of Delray Medical Center. “We are proud to be the first hospital in Palm Beach County to receive this recognition and to continue raising the bar for life-saving cardiac care in our community.”
As a Florida Resuscitation Center of Excellence, Delray Medical Center is part of a growing statewide effort focused on improving cardiac arrest outcomes. The program equips hospitals with advanced tools, training, and best practices — ultimately empowering care teams to save more lives and enhance long-term recovery.

An Opportunity to Improve Health Nationwide
(StatePoint) Walking into a grocery store can feel overwhelming – especially for those trying to buy healthier food. There are so many choices, eye-catching marketing and health claims, and confusing ingredients, making it hard to know what’s healthy and what isn’t. Grocery store aisles can actually be a place to fight preventable diet-related disease and illness – as long as nutrition information is readily available and easy to understand.
Other countries successfully use simple and clear nutrition labels on the front of food packaging to draw attention to foods that are high in sugar, saturated fat or salt – three nutrients most people eat too much of. These labels are helping consumers make healthier choices.
After years of consumer engagement and research, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed easy-to-read labels on the front of most packaged foods here in the United States. The proposed label would appear on foods intended for people aged 4 years and older and focus on three nutrients to limit: saturated fat, sodium (salt) and added sugars. Each would be rated as high, medium or low, and include the percentage of the recommended daily
amount. The label would be placed on the front of the package in bold, easyto-see text so shoppers could quickly understand what is in their food and compare products.
Even though similar labels have worked well in other countries, some food companies oppose implementing them here in the United States. While these labels certainly could impact the sales of less healthy foods, advocates say that these companies should recognize that their customers want to make healthier choices and purchase healthier products. Clearer labels will help them do just that.
“Eating healthy should be less complicated and consumers should be able to walk down grocery store aisles and be able to easily compare how nutritious different foods are,” says Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association.
“This will give everyone more control over their food choices and health.”
Right now, the FDA is asking people to share their thoughts on this new proposed label. Between now and May 16, 2025, you can visit yourethecure. org/label for more information from the American Heart Association and to provide feedback to the FDA.
Why Supporting U.S. Military Members Matters
(StatePoint) Military Appreciation Month, celebrated in May, is the perfect time to show service members they are valued and appreciated for the sacrifices they make every day.
According to advocates, individual actions, no matter how big or small, strengthen service members in the challenges they face each day, showing them they matter to the people they protect.
Military Appreciation Month was designated by Congress in 1999. Although the entire month of May is dedicated to honoring past and present military members and their families, there are several holidays throughout the month that honor specific service members and other members of the military community, including Military Spouse Appreciation Day on May 9, Mother’s Day on May 11, Armed Forces Day on May 17 and Memorial Day on May 26.
uniform and beyond, providing support through a wide range of programs, including care packages, entertainment, military spouse and youth programming and a canine program.
Given their decades of expertise on the subject, the USO is offering Americans ideas for how to best celebrate the people who serve during Military Appreciation Month:
Send a Message of Support: The USO is collecting 2 million messages of support this year to honor the more than 2 million people serving in the U.S. military and their families. Send a message now at USO.org/ 2MillionMessages.
Every May, Military Appreciation Month reminds us of the men and women who serve in our military. While there often are public events, real appreciation is deeper—it’s about understanding, connection and action. Less than 1% of Americans serve in the military, and they take on unique challenges from which all Americans benefit.
Since 1941, the USO has been the leading nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families. The USO goes where service members go throughout their time in
Show Your Support With a USO T-Shirt: The USO’s annual t-shirt campaign, launching in late April, is a way to show support for service members and the USO’s programs. To order a t-shirt, visit USO. org. Become a USO volunteer: More than 20,000 USO volunteers contributed 1.2 million hours last year. Whether you’re welcoming service members and their families at the airport, assembling care packages, or offering a helping hand at a USO location or event, your time and involvement can make a lasting impact on service members and their families. To learn more and sign up to volunteer, visit uso.org/ volunteer.
This Military Appreciation Month, consider discovering the many handson ways you can show your support and gratitude for U.S. service members all year long.

A water meter was installed for a line to connect a drinking fountain in the center. Another meter is to be installed on the south end in the upcoming weeks. Then staff can proceed with water drinking fountain installation.
Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center is currently being repainted, with completion anticipated by summer.
Recycling bins have been placed throughout the park.
Paver pads were installed for café tables/chairs/umbrellas areas to meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities) requirements.

A refresh to the Downtown Boca website was implemented and staff is working with vendor on interactive map. https://www.downtownboca.org/
The number and location of trash bins throughout downtown is currently under review and being monitored to evaluate needs.
Commissioner Fran Nachlas asked Riley if there are dog debris stations in Mizner Park. “Yes. Mizner Park is doggie friendly,” Riley responded.
The CRA covers the downtown special district and has a separate public meeting. City council members sit as CRA commissioners. Marc Widger was just named chairman and Andy Thomson vice chairman.

Three steps to consider this spring to help you live a healthier lifestyle
By Dr. Danielle Madril, Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual Plans of Florida
Spring into health this season by refreshing your wellbeing routine and building healthier habits for the rest of the year. While many Americans make health a primary focus of their New Year’s resolutions, 57% of recent survey respondents said they take up healthier lifestyle choices only after having a medical concern.
As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, it’s a great time to get moving and focus on living a healthier lifestyle. There’s no better time to get started than today.
Here are three steps you may start taking right away:
1. Choose a primary care provider and access preventive screenings.
A primary care provider can help guide you on your health journey, and studies suggest that access to primary care providers may help people live longer. Yet more than 30% of American adults don’t have a primary care provider.
One important item to check off your health care checklist each year is an annual wellness visit with a primary care provider – even if you feel healthy. A preventive care visit may help you better understand your health and detect any problems early. If you don’t currently have a primary care provider, check with your health plan for in-network doctors in your area or other options for accessing care like virtual care options. Health plans usually cover preventive care, which means you may pay $0 out of pocket for certain covered preventive services if you go to an in-network provider.
You may also be eligible to earn rewards through your health plan for activities like your annual wellness visit, getting certain preventive screenings or completing a health survey. Some health plans also offer coverage for certain health screenings like those for breast cancer and colorectal cancer.
Check with your health plan to understand your coverage and eligibility and talk to your employer about benefits and wellness programs that may be available to you.
2. Walk 15 to 30 minutes each day.
Getting outside during the day and enjoying the sunshine may be an important source of Vitamin D, boost your mood and help you sleep better. Taking regular walks, even for 15 to 30 minutes, may be a simple way to get some sun and fresh air, get your steps in and keep your body moving. In fact, a recent study found that walking more may help extend life expectancy by up to 11 years. Ideally, adults should aim each week for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity like a brisk walk, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity like jogging or running.
Some employers now offer wellness programs as part of the health benefits available to their employees.
3. Track and improve your sleep.
Many people struggle with their sleeping habits, with more than one-third of adults in the U.S. reporting regularly not getting enough sleep. Experts Recommend adults get 7 or more hours of sleep a night. Maintaining healthy sleeping habits may be beneficial for both your physical and mental well-being, from helping to reduce stress and improve your mood to lowering risk for some chronic conditions.
To help improve your sleep, consider avoiding alcohol, caffeine and too much screen time before going to bed, and try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.
Adding these tips into your daily routine may be a great way to boost your overall health and well-being this spring.

Sue Foley’s One Guitar Woman Available Now On Stony Plain Records
Prepare for a captivating musical journey with ONE GUITAR WOMAN, Sue Foley’s new solo acoustic tribute to female pioneers of guitar. Foley’s much-anticipated album drops on Stony Plain Records Friday, March 29th. The two current radio singles, Elizabeth Cotten’s “Oh Babe It Ain’t No Lie” and “Maybelle’s Guitar,” Sue’s original homage to country music matriarch Maybelle Carter, give a glimpse into the depth and variety of the song and style selections. The twelve inspiring tracks of this album also honor the hard-driving Memphis Minnie, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, French classical guitarist Ida Presti, Tejano sensation Lydia Mendoza, the often-underrated Charo, and less well known but equally compelling Southern blues women Geeshie Wiley and Elvie Thomas. Foley not only chose songs associated with each of the artists (apart from the Maybelle Carter selection, which she wrote herself), she covered a wide range of styles and techniques including Piedmont fingerpicking, Flamenco, classical, the Carter Scratch and more.
er: “I wanted a flamenco because you can beat them up a little bit more than the classicals — classicals are very resonant and pristine, but a flamenco is a little more utilitarian. I needed something with a little more grit, and I decided on a beautiful Flamenca Negra from Salvador Castillo.” The audiophile-quality album was produced by Mike Flanigin, recorded by Chris Bell at Blue Rock Studios in Austin, and mastered to Dolby Atmos Surround Sound at Abbey Road Studios in London.
ONE GUITAR WOMAN is more than a tribute album. Foley doesn’t merely cover these artists’ songs; she absorbs their style and inhabits the soul of the music. Her guitar work is so deep and natural that it seems to rise from the same roots that gave birth to the originals, while her vibrant vocals bring new life to the lyrics and make the songs her own.
As writer Meghan Roos notes in her Blues Rock Review interview, “ONE GUITAR WOMAN comes together as a careful and creative study of several women who influenced generations of guitar players. The challenges Foley embraced in mastering each artist’s unique playing style also give the album real stakes by pushing it beyond what most tribute albums try to achieve.”
True to the album title, Foley performs all the tracks on a single acoustic guitar, a nylon-string Flamenco guitar that she bought from a master luthier on a 2022 excursion to Paracho, Mexico. Sue notes in a recent Vintage Guitar interview that she chose the Flamenco guitar over a standard classical guitar because she could play it a little hard-
Esteemed music writer Hal Horowitz notes in Rock & Blues Muse, “Most impressive is Foley’s compelling voice, always expressive even with the amps turned up to 10, but even more so here. She finds empathy with these women writers in her soulful interpretations of their lyrics, which wouldn’t have as much ache and clout if sung by a man.”
ONE GUITAR WOMAN was a voyage of self-discovery for Foley. As she says in the Final Words of her liner notes: “There’s something that transformed in me when I started to research these female pioneers of guitar. Knowing that they had persevered through decades of challenges and trials so that my trials were lessened has taught me humility, and having a clear understanding of their accomplishments makes me want to reach higher in my own career. They forged the path for all female guitarists, leaving us not just the trail, but a map of directions and the wisdom to navigate it.”
