A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so

poor, but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given.

Planning It’s not just about your stuff.

Every year millions of Americans become incapacitated due to an illness, injury, or as a part of the aging process. If you or a loved one is ever incapacitated, who will make medical treatment decisions? Who has the authority to decide what care you will receive? An Advance Care Directive is a document that expresses your wishes regarding medical treatment in the event you are unable to make medical decisions yourself. It’s important to have a plan in place to address incapacity before it happens.

The Advance Care Directive serves two purposes. First, it names an Agent to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to make those decisions yourself – commonly referred to as a Healthcare Power of Attorney Agent. Second, the Advance Care Directive allows you to define your quality of life and choose treatment options in the event your quality of life becomes unacceptable to you – commonly known as the Living Will. For example, if living in a permanent unconscious condition is unacceptable to you, you would then be able to choose what medical treatment you would want if you were in this condition.

When naming an Agent under your Advance Care Directive, it is important to pick someone with whom you’re comfortable having an open discussion about end of life care. Generally, clients choose a spouse, family member, or close friend. Making decisions about quality of life and treatment options in advance allows you to provide your Agent with guidance on what decision you would have made for yourself had you been able. If there is no plan in place in the event you become incapacitated, not only will you lack the capacity to make decisions, your already grieving family will have to make difficult choices regarding your future care such as removing life support and trying to figure out what kind of medical treatment you would have wanted. The best gift you can give your family is the peace of mind that they are making the right decisions about your care because you have let them know how to handle your affairs when you are unable to do so yourself.

At Lodestone Legal Group, we include an Advance Care Directive in every Trust or Will Package we create for our clients.

We can also individually create an Advance Care Directive for those who have an Estate Plan in place but need to update their Advance Care Directive.

If you are interested in learning more about Advance Care Directives or other Estate Planning documents please call our Estate Planning Attorney, Brittney Mulvaney, at 615-807-1240. www.LLGTN.com

Nutrition April 2017

Superfoods for Diabetes, a Series Do you like tuna, salmon? Yes, then you should try sardines.

Sardines are an alternative to overfished salmon and contain lower mercury levels than the larger fish like tuna. Sardines are considered a safe fish. Sardines are available fresh or canned. When it comes to canned sardines, you can pick between those packed in water and those in oil. The only difference: Oil adds more calories. Sardines are cheap and versatile and can be consumed in many ways. Salads, Soups, pasta dishes, or by themselves.

So what’s so SUPER about Sardines?

RICH IN PROTEIN There are 23 grams of protein in just 3 ounces of these tiny silver swimmers.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY Sardines are an excellent source of EPA and DHA fatty acids, which reduce inflammation.

HEART HEALTHY OMEGA-3 FATS The high omega-3 fatty acid content of sardines plays a major role in controlling heart disease. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids (such as EPA and DHA) break down bad cholesterol in the body.

IMMUNE BOOSTER Research shows that sardine fish oil may improve immune system by increasing the count of immune cells.

Sardines

POWER PACKED WITH VITAMINS AND MINERALS Sardines contain vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, and selenium. Selenium helps neutralize free radicals and protect organs from damage.

CANCER FIGHTER Research has shown that calcium and vitamin D in sardines can be very helpful in preventing certain types of cancer.

BUILDS STRONG BONES Just 2 oz. of sardines contains 217 mg of calcium. This is extremely important to build strong bones and teeth, 99% of the body’s calcium is stored in the PROMOTES HEALTHY BRAIN FUNCTION Fish oil and healthy fats are known to be good “brain food.” This makes sense when you consider that 60% of the brain is made up of fat.

REGULATES BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS Foods that are high in protein and contain a healthy fat content work to slow down the absorption of sugar into the blood. Some studies suggest that consuming sardines reduces insulin resistance, is one of the major players in diabetes.

HELPS CURB APPETITE Sardines help curb appetite by preventing food cravings and unnecessary snacking. High protein and high fat content helps promote weight loss because it fills you up.

BOOST ENERGY AND MOOD Due to the high content of omega-3 fatty acids. New findings indicate that there is a strong correlation between omega-3 fatty acids and a lack of depression. As a result, they can help prevent mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Sardines are rich in copper, which is vital to the generation of energy from carbohydrates inside of cells.

If you are looking for a superfood snack don’t be afraid to try superfood #3… the Sardine! Too fishy for you?

Cook them into a pasta dish or pizza with red sauce, or add them to a salad of lemon and fennel to cut the taste.

MAINTAIN YOUR EYESIGHT Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition which is usually seen in adults over the age of 50. Macular and retinal degeneration over the years results in loss of vision. Recent studies have shown that consuming fish, such as sardines, results in a reduced risk of developing AMD.

“Creativity doesn’t h

Anyone who can claim Grammy nominations, multi-million-airplay songs, and a published children’s book clearly possesses talent that sparkles. But of all the celebrated music industry performers that have made it through the mill to the top, why does time embrace some artists, while others burst on the scene only to flare, fall, and fade like a pyrotechnic display?

In Deborah Allen’s case, she remains because she is more than a composer who can perform.

The fire and passion in Deborah’s music is contained at first glance inside a dynamic yet humble person with an extraordinary ability to frame, in a few verses, the experiences of love and life that have shaped all of us. She writes and produces songs that we can sing not only with our lips but have sung with our lives. That’s the difference between entertainment and art. Her lyrics embrace our common experience.

Deborah’s exposure to musical greats began at an early age.

Her parents, Rosetta and Leon Thurmond, had a successful custom upholstery shop in Memphis, and were recommended to Elvis Presley by legendary Disc Jockey, George Klein. Elvis reached out to them to redesign the interior of his first tour bus. When Deborah’s dad brought the bus home to work on, she and her sister Judy were thrilled to get to spend the night on the tour bus. “Growing up in Memphis, Elvis was in our midst all of our lives.”

Instinctively, Deborah knew early on that she wanted to sing and perform. She confided her secret desire to her mother, who had experienced early stages of a vocal condition while pregnant with Deborah. Concerned that she might pass along the same malady to her unborn child, Deborah’s mother constantly prayed, “please let this baby have a strong voice.”

Deborah’s spirited personality empowered that voice from the start, and affirmed to her mom Rosetta, now the young mother of three girls, that her prayers indeed had been had been answered for Deborah. Rosetta made sure that her daughters received the piano lessons that she always wanted but never had.

“I looked up to my sister Nancy who was classically trained”, said Deborah,” however my musical inclinations were bent in a different direction.”

have an age, and great songs are timeless.”

At age 18 Deborah moved to Nashville to pursue her musical dreams. Along the way she became ‘little sister’ to some of the greatest songwriters and recording artists in the industry like Shel Silverstein, John Hartford, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Ray Stevens, and Bobby Braddock to name few.

It was there in Music City that Deborah auditioned and landed a position performing at Opryland Theme Park, which led to a state department exchange tour to Russia with Tennessee Ernie Ford. “Yerevan, Tbilisi, Baku, Leningrad and Moscow... A trip of a lifetime!” Upon her return Deborah felt she needed to continue to challenge herself rather than stay comfortable with a regular paycheck. “Sometimes money can be a seductress and keep you stuck.” Aspiring to grow as an artist, she chose to move on.

Embracing many twists and turns in her career via that adventurous spirit, even through adversity, Deborah walked through every door of opportunity.

While at Waylon’s office one afternoon, Deborah invited author Shel Silverstein to come hear her sing at The Hall of Fame Hotel just off music row. That was a pivotal point in Deborah’s life and career.

She credits Shel with inspiring her to look to her then-unrealized gift of songwriting. “Shel changed my life in an instant.” recalls Deborah. He said, “Well, you’ve got a good voice, but there’s a lot of great singers out there. When you sing, that good feeling goes away when you walk off stage, right? You know, the sun don’t shine on the same dog’s back every day. But, when you write a song, it’s yours forever.”

Deborah listened with her heart to Shel’s words of wisdom and decided to take his advice. “I first started by writing acapella songs. While driving my little white convertible VW bug, I would watch the landscape and match my melody to the terrain as it rose and fell.”

She took her first couple of songs to Shel to critique. After listening he responded, “I think you’ve got a way with words!” That’s all the encouragement Deborah needed to set her songwriting passion on fire. “I figured if someone as great as Shel Silverstein thought I could write songs... well I guess I’m a songwriter now!”

“When it comes to the ‘business of Continued on next page

Pg. 9

Continued from page 9 music’, it can be a heartbreaking, tough, roller-coaster ride, with plenty of reasons to quit,” recalls Deborah. But Shel was right. Even between record deals, when she didn’t have a song on the radio as an artist herself, someone else was climbing the charts with one that she had written, or was using it in movie sound tracks like Clinton and Nadine, Coyote Ugly, and The River Rat. “I have been blessed to have people surrounding me who truly believe in me. From my amazing Mother, Shel Silverstein, my legendary co-writer friends and supportive business partners, including my talented and loving husband of 20 years, Raymond Hicks.”

As fate would have it, after judging a national talent contest for Sonic, the big-hearted composer had the inclination to return the gift of encouragement to budding young artists. At the suggestion of contestant Kelsie Morgan and help from her mom Kim, Deborah created a mentoring program called “One-On-One with Deborah Allen” dedicated to coaching stage performance, singing and songwriting. “Mother’s prayer for me to have a strong voice had expanded beyond singing into a voice of experience used to help others step into their dreams.” One talented participant from Brandon MS-Skylar Laine-made it to the final 5 of American Idol.

The advice Deborah gave others emerged from her own philosophy: “Never hold back--God created an abundant universe. So, give it your all... your very best.”

Along the way, not holding back ultimately led Deborah to work with George Jones, Prince, and even to a rare phone conversation with Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa. Moments like these meant more to her than any of the awards that take up most of the top floor of her Franklin, Tennessee home.

Those many awards highlight music celebrities that span from Tanya Tucker, Patty Loveless, Brooks and Dunn, John Conley, Lorrie Morgan, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, to Diana Ross, Sheena Easton, Leann Rimes and more.

More events detailing Deborah Allen’s musical journey can be found on the internet. But they can’t describe the down to earth, dedicated person who produced a legacy that will induct her this month into the International Rockabilly Hall of Fame, where she will join the likes of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Wanda Jackson, Brenda Lee, Brian Setzer, Chuck Berry, Little David Wilkins, and Paul McCartney, among others.

What is it that gives Deborah Allen millions of YouTube hits and iTube247.com views even today? Maybe it’s because, “creativity doesn’t have an age,” she muses,” and great songs are timeless.”

One of those is “There’s A Last Time for Everything” found at www. deborahallen.com on her CD, “Hear Me Now.” There’s a last time for everything A tomorrow that never comes A moment you never dreamed Could leave so many dreams undone One thing in life is certain—it’s not as certain as it seems So while there’s blue sky above you, take the time to say I love you Cause there’s a last time for everything Deborah sees beauty, humor, hardship, hope, love and life as an observer... and invites our witness. As she prolifically celebrates her love of life through lyric, we find our own story in her songs.
