After lunch, the family can enjoy the benefits of living directly on the East Coast, our beaches. Siblings will connect by creating sand castles or splashing around in the ocean. This will not only result in a lengthy slumber due to the summer's heat but will establish memories that families may reminisce about and share with others for years to come. Moreover, watching the sun disappear into the horizon and appreciating the beauty of a sunset while bonding with family doesn’t cost a thing. Finishing the night off with some soft serve ice cream, and this day will be one the family won’t forget.

My Weekend of Finding the Best Places to Picnic In Jacksonville

By Casey Alixandra Having a picnic only has two rules: 1) eat under the sky; and 2) pick up your trash afterwards. Besides those two important rules, having a picnic is a wonderful opportunity to be creative or to simply enjoy nature. It’s a fun, nonjudgmental activity where it doesn’t matter what you’re eating or who you’re with and whether it was spontaneous or planned. For this list, I decided to go to places I had never picnicked before.

Friday Evening ~ Johansen Park I had never heard of Johansen Park in Atlantic Beach until just recently and thank my partner for introducing it to me. He was excited to take me, but we both felt nervous due to it being 90 degrees that afternoon. But when we got there, there were so many tall palm trees and cool shade to set up under that our worries melted away. Yes, the park is surrounded by family homes, but it’s truly a tranquil and beautiful area.

The only sounds we heard were birds and children in the distance laughing in their backyards. We ate subs while lying on our blue checkered blanket and then read to each other until the sun began to set. That afternoon was a 10/10 experience, and I recommend Johansen Park for all who want a quiet picnic date or a place to catch up.

Saturday afternoon ~ Black Creek River It was a typical Florida summer day, and the heat would have been unbearable if I wasn’t near water, so I decided to have Saturday’s picnic not on land, but on water. It was one of my best friend’s birthdays, and we decided to have a boat day near Fleming Island. After having our morning fun of swimming and rope jumping, we enjoyed a picnic classic, burgers. Some sat on the beach on their blanket, while a few others and I ate on the stern. Never read any rules that you couldn’t have a picnic on a boat, and if I could, I would do it every weekend.

10

Sunday Morning ~ Jacksonville Beach During my weekend of finding a few best places to picnic, a picnic by the beach was a Floridian must. Luckily the breeze that day wasn’t harsh, and I was able to eat my snack-based lunch without difficulty. Just one good gust of wind, and all of my crackers, fruits, and dips would have followed it. What I enjoy about beach picnics is the option to jump in the water if it gets too hot.

Sunday Evening ~ Dog Wood Park Dinner choice on this evening picnic was sushi. The sun was setting, and the afternoon was cooling down (thankfully). What was enjoyable about this park, located near I-95 and Butler Boulevard, was how many families there were that afternoon. I loved how there was a lake for the dogs to play in and cool themselves off. Honestly, I solely went to this park to see if I’d see dogs, and I wasn’t disappointed! My advice to all dog lovers: this is the park for you.

Monday Afternoon~ Hanna Park Yes, my weekend was over, but there was one more place I had to go. After entering the Hanna Park entrance (off Wonderwood Drive), it suddenly feels like you are in South Florida, rather than North Florida. From crowded beaches to beaches that have less than 10 people, Hanna Park has numerous trails leading to different locations within the park. The variety of scenery makes it one of my top favorites. I decided to have my picnic on an empty beach with my friend Casey. She drew her art, while I took photos of our surroundings.

Spending a weekend outside, I definitely got some sun and more appreciation of picnics. While I plan to picnic more, I hope you decide to have a meal under the sky more too. And remember, don’t forget to pick up after yourself!

film showings and gallery exhibits. You can support him and tap into his truth through his Patreon here.

He explained it this way, “Filmmaking is really expensive, so making paintings is kind of a way of capturing a frame, a scene, a good idea for obviously less money. It kind of has the same personal quality to it, though. What I try to bring to it, it’s a part of me, and it’s never to be commercial or to make money or to gain any kind of power, popularity or status.”

Nader draws inspiration from artists like Francis Bacon, Francisco Goya, Hieronymous Bosch and most importantly filmmaker David Lynch, in their dark themes, colors and sometimes graphic depictions of real life. Nader’s approach builds off of their work, but in a much more “playful way,” as he says, with a more cartoonist approach to figure drawing and color choices. He approaches his art in what he feels to be the most honest way.

He stays away from social media, doesn’t work for hire, and each painting is a singular vision.

We talked at length about Carl Jung’s idea of the collective unconscious. The collective subconscious is the idea that all human beings share a collection of thoughts, images and knowledge inherited through ancestral experience. It is also

What “independence” are we even celebrating?

by Vincent Dalessio

Nothing says “America!” more than failures in gun control, a tanking economy, record high inflation, further marginalizing already marginalized groups and taking bodily autonomy away from the majority of the United States population? (Yes, according to the U.S. Census over 50% of Americans have vaginas. Sorry, Chad. Your dry spell isn’t due to a lack of opportunities, but more a lack of interest.)

This Fourth of July, rather than celebrating whatever it is we are supposed to, let’s all gather and celebrate the fact that the United States is the first country to time travel! And all it took was the swipe of a pen. Fifty years of slow progress? *POOF* Gone.

As most of you are aware, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The removal of the 1973 landmark ruling that constitutionalized a woman’s right to have an abortion, now leaves it up to the states to decide for themselves and making abortions illegal immediately in 13 states with likely more to follow. This ruling will disproportionately impact people of color.

Just one day prior to this ruling, the Supreme Court ruled the concealed carry of a firearm is protected under the Constitution and isn’t up for state by state decisions. Guns having more freedom than people with vaginas? Now that’s the America I know.

But, do not worry, my fellow men. Your rights and bodily autonomy are still intact as long as you are not a person of color, liberal, homeless, have a “wo” in front of your “man,” are incarcerated or have a vagina.

So, let us celebrate by setting off some fireworks manufactured

attendees could purchase works ranging from sticker packs to large scale prints—so every budget had an opportunity to leave with a keepsake. The market also included a raffle for one-of-akind items including Volcom jeans painted by each participating artist that even your booty would thank you for winning.

As the sun began to set, the concert stage came to life with Orlando-based indie-psych group Timothy Eerie. Even those who had never heard of the band needed only to look at the bearded, biker-looking synth player in a groovy Hawaiian print onesie to gain insight into the sounds to be provided. The eclectic five-piece has a broad appeal to listeners with a wild and upbeat tempo that also soothes the soul. An entire block of Atlantic Beach echoed with their bold rhythms, causing passing bicyclists to ask, “What’s happening here tonight?”—on their way to another boring night at Ragtime. Front man Eerie, seemingly serenaded by the sun—and singing directly to it— not only had the crowd swaying to the beat but also the sun shade above the band bopping up and down.

Following Eerie, Kairos Creature Club did a set with three new songs, as well as others I consider to be instant classics. With drummer Lena Simon just returning from tour with La Luz the night before, you’d never know they hadn’t rehearsed much.

Glenn Van Dyke released an onslaught of guitar notes that varied from bluesy to awesome with a louder than normal

I WAS TIRED OF LIVING WITH MY FIBROMYALGIA PAIN Fibromyalgia has been difficult to treat and even more difficult to understand, UNTIL NOW! Dr. Turpin provides patients with much needed relief from Fibro symptoms!

If you're suffering from Fibromyalgia, you understand this sentiment all too well.

Local Jacksonville resident Kate R. found herself at a turning point when she noticed her diagnosis had started to take a toll on her marriage.

"I was angry all the time because of all the things I couldn't do anymore because of my Fibromyalgia. That anger cycled through depression and affected everyone around me, my husband more than anyone. It made our lives miserable."

Fibromyalgia affects the entire body. To make things complicated it affects everyone's body a little differently. To make things even more complicated, those effects can change on a daily basis.

Sometimes you're plagued with widespread muscle pain and fatigue, and other days it's a headache and heightened sensitivity to touch.

"I could barely stand to have the light weight of bedsheets touching me, much less a hug from my husband." explains Kate.

This is what it's like to suffer from Fibromyalgia. Symptoms make everyday life incredibly difficult. Mundane, daily tasks are nearly impossible.

And too often, these symptoms are only made worse because practitioners find it difficult to understand and even more troublesome to treat. It's characterized by widespread pain in muscles and tissues rather than inflammation of the joints.

Then your primary care doctors suggest dietary changes, pain linaments and prescription medications to the point where your life is no longer ruled by Fibromyalgia.

It's now ruled by difficult routines and pill regimens that are supposed to aid in avoiding flare ups.

Kate put it this way, "My life was no longer my own."

Eventually, Kate did her own research and discovered that acupuncture can improve the quality of life in Fibro patients.

Determined to find the best, she discovered Riverplace Acupuncture Integrative Health led by Dr. Jann Turpin.

Dr. Turpin has been successfully treating difficult to manage, chronic pain cases for almost 12 years.

She uses the time tested science of acupuncture and integrates it with modern medical advancements that encourage healing and recovery. Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that is commonly used to reduce various forms of pain.

Acupuncture works by reducing inflammation, stimulating the release of endorphins and offers much needed symptom relief for Fibromyalgia.

Then Dr. Turpin skillfully layers other non invasive therapies like ATP Resonance Biotherapy™ and O3 Regenerative Therapy™ for amplified, long-lasting results.

"I feel like a new person. My husband comes with me to my appointments.

He spends most of it thanking Dr. Jann for giving him back the woman he married. And for the first time since we moved here, one of my neighbors told me I looked good! It's a miracle she treated my Fibro, I don't know how else to explain it."

If you're looking for a doctor and a practice who not only understands your diagnosis but also has a proven solution for chronic pain, look no further than Riverplace Acupuncture Integrative Health (RAIH).

Kate describes RAIH almost as enthusiastically as she does their treatments. "I love it here!"
