225,000 COPIES SOLD!

David McKnight, Best Selling Author & Retirement Strategist If you’re like most Americans you’ve saved the lion’s share of your retirement assets in tax-deferred vehicles like 401k’s and IRA’s. In doing so, however, you’ve entered into a business partnership with the IRS, and every year they get to vote on what percentage of your profits they get to keep! So, you might have $1,000,000 in your IRA or 401k, but unless you can accurately predict what tax rates are going to be when you take that money out, do you really know how much money you have? No! And it’s hard to plan for retirement if you don’t know how much money you have!

You may not be accessing your tax-deferred retirement accounts for another 8 to 10 years, so it’s worth asking the question, will tax rates really be dramatically higher when you do so?

According to former Comptroller General of the U.S. Government David Walker, the answer is a

resounding yes. In fact, in a CNN op-ed article, he declared that tax rates would have to double in order to keep our federal government solvent.

You see, Uncle Sam has made trillions of dollars in promises for entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare they simply can’t afford to keep. And to keep our country solvent, they’ll have to raise taxes dramatically within the next 10 years So, is there any way to protect your hard-earned savings from the risk of higher taxes? Join us on May 18th to hear a presentation from David McKnight, national bestselling author of The Power of Zero. He’ll lay out a strategy to protect your savings from the impact of higher taxes by getting you to the zero percent tax bracket in retirement.

Why is the zero percent tax bracket so powerful?

Because if tax rates double, two times zero is still zero!

Spring Has Sprung THE WORDS YOU ARE READING RIGHT NOW ARE NOT WHAT I HAD INITIALLY WROTE FOR THIS LETTER TO YOU, OUR READERS. I am writing this literally hours before we are going to print. The past month... and even the past few days have been heavy and odd for all of us. Between the heavy rains, the tornado, and now the coronavirus, our daily lives are not “business as usual”. But our city is amazing. We are givers.

We are helpers. We are not only going to survive, we will THRIVE.

Here is my ask. Please follow the CDC guidelines. Stay home if you can. However, if you are feeling inclined (and healthy enough) to get out of the house for a few minutes, please visit any of the local shops in town. Many of the businesses in Franklin are owned locally. Behind the doors of the name on the storefront is a local family who lives here and owns that store. Buy something. Tip your server a little bit more. Buy a gift card to use at a later date. Post something about one of the businesses on social media. They will appreciate it.

We are a city of givers. We’ve seen it countless times over the past few weeks. We are Franklin and we are going to thrive.

FRANKLIN FARMERS MARKET ENSURES A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ARTICLE MARIA DINOIA | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY FFM

TENNESSEE FARM FRESH FOOD STRAIGHT TO YOUR TABLE IN 2002, EIGHT FARMERS CAME TOGETHER TO CREATE THE FRANKLIN FARMERS MARKET, A 501(C)(5) NONPROFIT AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATION WITH THE MISSION TO KEEP TENNESSEE’S BEAUTIFUL FARMLANDS GREEN AND GROWING. The FFM provides a connection between farmers and the public to create easy access to healthy, locally grown fresh food. The market has grown from a summer-only marketplace to a year-round operation and the number of farms participating in the market each year has increased from eight to more than 70 farms. They keep these local family farms productive and profitable by providing a reliable venue for farmers to sell what they grow or produce. By doing so, the market strengthens and builds financial sustainability for both farmers and the local economy.

FFM works to support a diversified, sustainable agriculture system and endeavors to educate the public about the positive impact that farming has on their community’s health, economy, aesthetic values and the environment.

An assortment of produce, fruit, dairy, baked goods and meats are all available at the Franklin Farmers Market. And, because it’s all from local farms, the variety of goods increases and changes each week through the seasons. It’s easy to taste the difference because it all comes straight from the farm to the market, ripe and ready to be enjoyed.

For more information about the farms, farmers and exciting fresh recipes, visit FranklinFarmersMarket.com.

FRANKLIN FARMER’S MARKET

(CON TI N U ED)

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH BALSAMIC-HONEY REDUCTION & FRESH BASIL Servings: 8-10 Ingredients + 4 small zucchini + 4 small yellow squash + 2 small fennel bulbs + 4 new spring onions + 3 tablespoons olive oil + 2 teaspoons sea salt + Fresh ground black pepper + 1 small bunch fresh basil Ingredients for the Balsamic-Honey Reduction + 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar + 1/4 cup local honey + 1/4 teaspoon sea salt + Fresh ground black pepper Directions 1. Cut the zucchini and squash lengthwise into quarters and cut out any large seed clusters. Cut the fennel in half. Split the onions lengthwise.

2. Place all of the vegetables in a shallow baking pan and season with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3. Pick 10-12 basil leaves and make a small stack on your cutting board.

4. When the grill is hot, grill the vegetables over high heat for 4-5 minutes, turning a few times, until the skins are blistered and just cooked through.

5. Remove to a serving platter and drizzle a few spoonfuls of the balsamic-honey reduction over the vegetables.

6. Cut the basil leaves into thin slices and evenly distribute over the vegetables. Now you can serve local grilled vegetables at room temperature alongside your favorite dishes.

BEGINNING THEIR FOURTH SEASON IN APRIL, THE RAMBLING HAS BECOME NOT ONLY A FAVORITE BUT ONE OF THE HOTTEST RESERVATIONS IN TOWN - A THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY FAMILY-STYLE DINING EVENT WITH ROOM FOR 60 PATRONS HELD FOR SEVEN WEEKS BEGINNING IN APRIL. The intention of The Rambling is to take note of even the smallest detail, procuring meal ingredients right from the property. Chef Tyler Brown references Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello as inspiration. “The way it was done in the past, it’s Southall’s interpretation of ‘real hospitality,’’’ a dinner in your backyard. A benefit to The Rambling’s set up is that the menu and evening are not “confined to a lane” and no rules need to be followed.

Southall’s overall goal is to create a classroom that will spark curiosity and demonstrate in action a “a full symbiotic circle.”

Create an environment – ambiance is everything. Incorporate fire-pits, sunshades, lanterns, and string lights based on weather. Add interesting pieces from inside to the outside for the evening with a more luxurious feel.

Choose good company – often the people are what folks remember about an evening, regardless of any other detail. Try and grab a mix of people who will enjoy what you are creating.

Music – there is a reason stores start playing Christmas music in October. Music can directly affect your mood and there is nothing better than enjoying the outside elements with a good song or two.

Games – while games could seem like something you only need to break the ice with people who don’t know each other, getting a good healthy competition going can make for a lot of fun.

Make it about breaking bread- be intentional with seating and dinnerware. Your menu should coordinate with the environment you are creating. Include an extra special drink, dessert or method of cooking that includes everyone.

DIY (CONTINUED)

A very short walk from the site of The Rambling stand two beautiful greenhouses. Such mammoth structures they seem to beckon you in.

Once inside you are welcomed into an atrium of succulents and pots of flowers wintering inside.

Beyond the atrium are rows of seedlings patiently waiting to be planted to fulfill their destiny of seed to table dining. Stepping into the back room you find yourself standing among one of Southall’s many fascinating projects, a citrus grove with 16 different types of plants and leaf cutters, a type of bee, fluttering about. Other ventures at Southall include an apple orchard with old and new varieties of trees, seed banking and a fish greenhouse system raising hundreds of bass.

The community interaction is something Chef Tyler and Southall hold in high regard. The tables are sourced from local Tennessee wood, the dinnerware is handmade by potter John Donovan.

Local musician Reed Turchi plays The Rambling to provide the right mood. Southall is mindful in all they set forth to do, including the soon-to-be Inn and Spa.

SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT THIS HIDDEN GEM LOCATED JUST A COUPLE HOURS FROM OUR HOME TOWN, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T, HERE’S A BIT ABOUT THIS VIBRANT LAKE. It’s a short 148mile drive South from Franklin and a thrilling location for a weekend getaway, with year-

+ day 1

round activities from bird watching to hiking.

There are approximately 21,000 acres and 500 miles of

shoreline to enjoy, and Smith Lake is ranked one of the clean-

est lakes in the United States. This makes it a great place to cool off during the summer months and to take in spectacular views in the winter months. Smith Lake also offers boat rentals and multiple lakeside restaurants with public docking.

This vibrant lake is ideal for many recreational activities such as fishing (over 70 species of fish!), wake surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding or just soaking up some sun.

If you want to travel the area around the lake, the Natural

Bridge of Alabama is a compelling place to explore. This 148-foot sandstone bridge stands 60 feet above various footpaths. Created by thousands of years of wind, this bridge is the longest natural bridge in the southeast.

The Smith Lake Dam is another pit stop. It's one of the largest rock-filled dams in the eastern United States. The dam is a popular fishing spot among locals, and there are white sandy beaches for sunbathing or just relaxing.

“IF YOU WANT TO TRAVEL THE AREA AROUND THE LAKE, THE NATURAL BRIDGE OF ALABAMA IS A COMPELLING PLACE TO EXPLORE.”

After a bike ride on one of the many miles of both paved and natural bike trails, stop for a bite to eat at Goldigger's Bar & Grill at the Lakeshore Marina. Drink specials, live entertainment and even karaoke is a fun way to round out your Smith Lake stay.

Finally, retreat to your rental. If you're looking to purchase, weekend homes on Smith Lake start in the mid-$300s and range up to as high as $2.3 million. But if purchasing isn't in the cards, there are a number of rentals available for a 24-48 hour weekend getaway.

nutrition MINDFUL EATING MEANS KNOWING WHAT IS IN YOUR FOOD, HOW IT IS AFFECTING YOUR BODY AND TAKING THE TIME TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE NUTRIENTS AND FLAVORS YOU ARE TAKING IN. Whether or not you are trying to lose, gain or maintain weight, reading labels and understanding nutrition facts will help you make better choices for your body and ultimately feel better in your day-to-day.

PROTEINS Protein makes you feel full longer. If you eat a meal with little protein, you’ll feel hungry again pretty quickly, and it can be discouraging. But you don’t have to eat a huge steak to get enough protein. You can find it in cheese, nuts, seeds, spinach, eggs, avocados, broccoli, hummus, lentils—the list goes on and on! Mindful eating means taking note of how hungry you feel and eating enough protein to satisfy that hunger in a way that will last.

C A R B O H Y D R AT E S Carbohydrates are not your enemy. But, it is important to pay attention to how you feel when you eat them. If you eat a lot of carbs in one sitting, it can cause your blood sugar to spike, and when it drops back down, you can feel lethargic and maybe even irritable.

By spreading your carbohydrate intake throughout your day and always pairing it with a protein, you can help your body regulate your blood sugar more effectively and feel more alert all day long.

F AT S Fats also help slow carbohydrates down so they don’t instantly turn into sugar in your bloodstream. Fats are important for energy, and it’s especially important to eat the right kinds of fats for your brain. For better concentration and memory, try to incorporate foods like salmon, avocados, nuts, seeds and olive oil.

every single gram you eat, you can just start with the recommended guidelines and make adjustments based on how you feel each day. If you are groggy and sluggish mid-day, look at how many carbohydrates you had in your lunch and see if you want to change anything about your lunch tomorrow. Here’s how to read nutrition labels so you can better keep track and know what you are eating.

food. If you are eating a package of nuts as a snack, and you are not eating anything else with it, you may need a couple of packages to eat as many calories as you want for that snack. It’s not wrong to eat multiple servings! Focus on what your body needs.

You need a variety of vitamins in your day, so check the percentages and make sure you are getting lots of different nutrients. Vitamin C is great, but it is possible to have too much Vitamin C and neglect Vitamin A. Calcium and iron are important for strength and to avoid injuries, so make sure you get enough of those each day as well. An easy trick is to try eating a vegetable of every color each day.

Carbohydrates are broken down by dietary fiber and sugar. To feel fuller longer and to have a clear mind and avoid getting foggy, choose carbohydrates, such as wild rice, that have more dietary fiber and less sugar.

You are the best expert of you, and you get to make all of the final decisions for your body. Do your research, get all of the info that you can and then decide how you want to divide up your nutrition each day.

One of the most effective things you can do is keep a log of your moods, how your skin looks, how your hair feels, your water intake and your energy levels. While your fitness goals are important, how you feel each day is so much more important. It’s easy to lose weight by dramatically cutting calories, but that can leave you feeling irritable with low energy, and it’s ultimately not worth it. Take care of yourself and think about how the choices you make will affect your health in the long run. And never forget that you are enough, just the way you are.
