surprised me the most?”

Village On The Isle is the best of two worlds—I still have my outside memberships and involvements. I moved here because I didn’t want my children to worry about my future needs.

If you’re looking for life where you can be free of worry, c’mon down!

Because of the great work they do, Dave and Lori and their spa are thriving. Also doing great is Sandra Rieth’s Simply Renew Med Spa in North Port, always on the cutting edge of esthetic and beauty techniques.

instead of two weeks, with great results and no pain,” she says. “For a first-time visitor, I suggest starting with the hydra-skin refiner facial. That gives us time to thoroughly examine their skin, give them a good evaluation and discuss the products they are using that will benefit their skin over a lifetime.” Most of the clients visiting Simply Renew are just looking for a softer, fresher appearance, helping them look the best for their age.

The spa is doing many lipotropic injections, featuring a combination of B12, B6 and amino acids as a tool for weight loss, immune system boosting, and with sleep improvement. The spa also offers bioTE bioidentical hormones for wellness/well-being.

“We love meeting new people and taking great care of them,” says Sandra. “We really enjoy sharing the latest, up-to-date information about all the many treatments available to help people look and feel their best.”

F O R E H A N D V O L L E Y S E R V I N G

The biggest problem when it comes to the forehand volley is that it is difficult for beginners to transition to being an advanced player. We tell them they have to turn sideways. In tennis, everything is sideways. Even with good players, when the ball is coming faster at the more advanced level, they cannot get the racket ahead of the ball quickly enough. So I want them to position their racket first and then step into the ball.

The body will follow the racket.

Newer players have a hard time transferring from a Western grip to a Continental grip. That’s where most of the problems are in the serve. And they don’t toss the ball in front of them, they toss it behind them. I tell them to locate their opponent and toss the ball toward the opponent. When they do that, they are reaching for the ball and transfer-

ring their body weight into it.

On the backhand volley, players should move into the net in the same way that they would with the forehand volley. Keep the body sideways and lead with the racket. Be aggressive and keep your eye on the ball. A backhand should be no more daunting than a forehand. Work on your backhand until you have confidence in it.

Go room by room and put a yellow sticker on all the items you know you want/have to take with

you. If it’s clothing in a closet, just put a sticker on the outside of the closet door. Then use a blue sticker for the ‘I’d like to but I’m not really sure yet’ items. We can revisit that later.

2.

Got stuff you think has some life/value still in it? Put green stickers on the items you want to sell/yard sale/consign that you can get money for. Green stickers for money! Use pink stickers for donations you want to make and finally red stickers for items that are junk. Get It Gone can come in at different times and do consignment runs, donations, etc.

3.

Now how on earth do I pack this place up? Call Get It Gone, we can do all the packing for you and you can sit back and relax. Or, if you have the time and want to save some money here are some simple steps to pack up a house in 30 days, easily.

A.

Gather all of the materials you need for each room, i.e. wardrobe boxes, s/m/l boxes with packing paper, packing tape and a marker. If it’s a kitchen, you will need heavy duty boxes or a few dish packs (larger boxes designed for dishes).

B.

In the morning set a timer for 20 minutes. Start in the room that will be needed the least in the last month of your stay here. (Simple videos you can find on YouTube with a search of "How to pack for moving" will give you short, easy to understand instructions on how to pack anything at all.) Start the timer and start packing. When the timer goes off, STOP. Leave. Go do something else, anything else.

C.

After lunch (or when you get home from work) go back to where you left off, start the timer and pack some more for 20 mins. When the timer goes off, STOP. Leave, go do something else.

D.

After dinner, do the same thing.

By doing this on a daily basis you will have put in a solid hour of uninterrupted time packing.

After 1 week you will have a solid day of packing. And if you add another family member or 2 or 3, think of how much progress you can make without throwing your daily life into a tizzy!
