EDITOR’S

NOTE

It’s hard to believe March is here! If your family has been anything like mine, you’ve been fighting colds and the crud since the beginning of February. I hope March is a healthier month for everyone! I also hope you’re able to get out and experience the beautiful weather, catch a Spring Training game and enjoy spring break with your kids.

This month’s issue of The Grand Season Family is about growth. I’ve been thinking a lot about how much my life has changed since I launched into adulthood so many years ago. As I ponder the events which brought about the most change, it’s no surprise my children have been the greatest growth agents in my life. As we’ve encountered the many mountains and valleys on our journey, their perspectives and questions about love, life and their future have challenged me to continually revisit my approach to life.

I think FEAR is the biggest obstacle that keeps us from experiencing growth in our lives.

It takes courage to cross into unexplored territory. My goal for this month’s issue is to inspire you to reflect on how you can grow to experience a more vibrant life.

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season Family and our advertisers. If you know of a new or existing business that is looking for growth, I’d appreciate if you’d share our publication with them.

Enjoy the journey!

FEAR NOT

Growth is essential throughout life.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

—Helen Keller

If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?

—Confucius

Great fear is concealed under daring.

—Lucan

The eagle has no fear of adversity. We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a conqueror!

—Joyce Meyer

Action cures fear, inaction creates terror.

—Douglas Horton

Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts.

—Elizabeth I

Being brave isn’t the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.

—Bear Grylls

Fear has its use, but cowardice has none.

—Mahatma Gandhi

You just have to get rid of fear and confront the world. Look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself, “I love you and nothing will destroy you and you’re —Ricky Martin not going to fall.”

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.

—Henry Ford

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.

Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

—Marie Curie

Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear.

—William Congreve

I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

—Rosa Parks

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

—Nelson Mandela

Do the thing we fear, and death of fear is certain.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Living with fear stops us taking risks, and if you don’t go out on the branch, you’re never going to get the best fruit.

—Sarah Parish

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.

—Babe Ruth

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

—Dale Carnegie

CLEAN

WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK Cleaning tips you will love

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans spend nearly 40 minutes a day cleaning their homes. Fortunately, you can reclaim those precious minutes with these genius cleaning tips. Get ready to have your home looking spotless in half the time!

Eliminate upholstery stains with shaving cream.

There’s no need to hire an expensive professional to get those stains out of your upholstery. Instead, rub a little bit of shaving cream (anything but the gel kind) into the stain, let it sit for 30 minutes or overnight, and then blot it dry.

Sweep your baseboards with a dryer sheet.

Attach a dryer sheet to your Swiffer in place of a microfiber cloth and you’ll pick up all that unwanted dust while simultaneously lending a sweet scent to your home.

Disinfect your sponges in the microwave.

Slightly dampen your sponge, pop it in the microwave for 90 seconds on full power, and you’ll reduce the amount of bacterial contamination on it by up to 99 percent.

Freshen up your mattress with baking soda.

At least once a month, just vacuum your mattress and apply an ample sprinkling of baking soda. Let the baking soda sit for a few hours to absorb any odors, vacuum again.

Clean your vents with Turtle Wax.

Though they often go ignored during the cleaning process, your vents accumulate a surprising amount of dust and debris, especially during the summer and winter when they’re most in use. But all you need to get them looking good as new is a little bit of Turtle Wax.

Use dryer sheets to clean your pans.

Simply put your dirty pan or sheet in the sink with a little dish soap, warm water, and a dryer sheet, and let the combo sit for an hour or two.

When you’re ready to pour out the water, the mess will easily wipe away.

Scrub the bathtub clean with grapefruit and salt.

Just cut the fruit open, and cover it in salt. The salt creates an abrasive texture while the citric acid in the grapefruit will help break down stains.

TRAVEL

GET-A-WAY

Book a quick trip, or book a staycation!

Sometimes you just need to get out of town, and you really can take a last-minute trip without paying premium prices. But if you just need a break from the office and don’t want the hassle of travel, there’s always another way to go: home! Use these tips for saving big on a last-minute booking or creating a fabulous “staycation.”

Troll the travel websites

Sites such as Expedia.com, Priceline. com, and Travelocity.com are treasure troves for last-minute travelers. A few clicks will provide you with the latest transportation and accommodation availability, as well as deals on bundled packages and allinclusive vacations.

Register for last-minute travel e-mail blasts

Those same travel websites, and most airlines, offer weekly e-mail newsletters that include up-to-the-minute deals on flights, cruises, hotels, and more. If you’re flexible about where and when you travel, finding a great deal to an exciting destination can be as easy as checking your inbox.

Play tourist

Since Pheonix has experienced tremendous growth, surely you haven’t done everything there is to do. Check out the latest gallery opening, grab tickets to a matinee, hop on a tour bus, or take a trip to your local historical centers. You’ll see the Valley of the Sun from a whole new perspective.

Don’t check e-mails

Set an out-of-office reply or a vacation message on your work and personal e-mail accounts and don’t peek until you “return” from your vacation.

Don’t tackle your to-dos

It’s easy to think that your time spent at home can be used to reorganize, clean, and do a few home improvements, but a vacation is no time to do extra work. If you were on an actual vacation, would you be upset that your floors at home weren’t being scrubbed? No way. Let things around the house stay as they are. Or, for a real treat, hire a cleaning service to come spruce the place up while you’re out on the town.

Order in

Hate to cook? Then don’t do it. It’s rare that you would be cooking your own food if you were out of town, so enjoy the benefits of ordering in or grabbing your favorite take-out.

Turn off your phone

Pretend that you’re half a world away with little access to your phone. Leave a voicemail that says that you’re on vacation and will only be checking messages when you get the chance.

Forgetting about your phone will keep you focused on your main goal-relaxation.

HEALTH

SICK & TIRED Tips for improved health

Four in 10 adults in the U.S. have two or more chronic diseases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While certain conditions and risk factors are beyond one’s control, there is no shortage of lifestyle choices you can make for improved health.

If you’re looking to improve your health, try using these tips: • Be more physically active. Adults should do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity activity.

• Reduce your intake of processed foods, especially those with added sodium and sugar. Eat less red meat and processed meats, and add more plant-based foods, such as olive oil, nuts and seeds to your diet. Also reduce your consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and drink more water instead.

• If your health care professional determines you need antibiotics, take them exactly For Advertising Information Call (623) 594-1630

as prescribed. Antibiotic resistance is a serious public health problem and antibiotics will not make you feel better if you have a virus, such as a cold or flu.

• If consuming alcohol, do so in moderation as defined by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans—up to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men, and only by adults of legal drinking age.

• Pain medication is personal. If you’re taking prescription opioids or other medications, follow your doctor’s instructions. Store them safely to prevent misuse and properly dispose of any leftover medication.

• Manage stress. A good diet, sufficient sleep (at least 7.5 hours per night), daily exercise, and wellness activities, like yoga and meditation, are key ingredients to maintaining and improving your mental health, but don’t hesitate to ask for help from a professional when you need it.

LIFE HACKS

BLOOD WISER Beat mosquitoes

Air Conditioning • Electrical • Plumbing • Water Treatment

Reverse Osmosis System Tune-Up Few things can spoil a backyard barbecue or afternoon picnic as effectively as these relentless bloodsuckers.

And citronella candles, as nice as they smell, usually don’t help much. But there are just about as many hack remedies out there as there are stories about how they don’t work. Wearing long sleeve and pants and spaying them with DEET is a sure-fire, but backyard-unfriendly method.

Here are a few ideas suggested by researchers—test them to see which one is most effective for you.

1. USE A FAN: For all that buzzing in your ears, mosquitoes are actually very weak fliers—If you can set up a couple of fans outside, you’ll make it difficult for them to maneuver around you.

2. SMOKE THEM OUT WITH SAGE: This remedy actually has little to do with the sage and much more to do with the fact that mosquitoes don’t like smoke. A campfire will deter many mosquitoes; if a fading fire isn’t working as well, toss a few leaves or pine straw into the flames to make a small cloud of extra smoke.

3. MAKE A DIY MOSQUITO TRAP: Pour a little bit of fragrant olive oil into a bowl and roll it around to lightly coat the inside, then put it on the table—mosquitoes will be attracted to the oil, land, and get trapped.

HOT PROSPECTS Skills to help your 20 something learn

So, your 20 something is freaking out about getting older. Rather than listen to the same old ideas over and over, share this with them.

It’s a tip sheet of goals for them to accomplish before they’re 25.

Sometimes a plan of action is all they need.

2. Get a party trick

SKILLS TO MASTERS

3. Make networking matter

1. Sell yourself

Even if you aren’t working in sales and never want to! So much of business success boils down to sales of one kind or another.

Remember that you will have to present yourself as an asset, and hot commodity many times in your career; what is anything but another sales pitch?

32

The Grand Season family

Figure out one thing that you are good at—or would like to be. And don’t just get good at it. Get really good at it. If it’s your job, so much the better. But if it’s a hobby, you never know; that could turn into a back-up plan someday.

It’s not just a matter of how many contacts you have, but how many of those contacts would be willing to go to bat for you. Don’t just meet people, prove your value to them.

That way you’ll have a network of advocates, not just a network of profile links on social media.

4. Learn coding

Even if you don’t see yourself as a computer person. Coding has become as common as reading and writing as far as skills go in the new economy. Learn it while you’re young, and you’ll thank yourself later.

March 2020

5. Invest your leisure time

Instead of that one extra episode of Outlander, try spending the time you have on your own development. Take a seminar, volunteer, learn a dance, read a book, exercise. Spend a good portion of your free time on personal improvement and development.

6. Quit worrying

Worrying changes nothing.

Concentrate on finding solutions to problems when solutions are possible. And try to let go of the rest. Do your part, and do it well, then try to be calm about outcomes you cannot control.

7. Save your cash

Start saving money. That one extra trendy outfit, or night out at the club will not be worth it in the long run, when that money could be put to better use. Remember, compound interest can make you a millionaire in twenty years. Put away a small, but consistent amount of money every month.

GROWTH

PURPOSE DRIVEN

What’s direction are you going?

People think they will feel fulfilled when they check off their list: getting married, having kids, buying a certain house, getting a boat, reaching a certain title or profit level in their business, but happiness doesn’t come from money and success.

What truly moves you and how can you turn that passion into a fulfilling mission in life? Everyone’s different, so here are some common strategies that can lead you to your unique goal. Start by asking yourself these key questions:

1. As a child and back in your younger days, what experiences were the most memorable?

What pastimes did I find most fulfilling? Make a list of everything that gave you pleasure as a kid and teenager.

Maybe it was playing basketball or guitar. Start small and resume those activities. Then, once you rediscover that passion, look for a way to use it to help others. Maybe you can volunteer to coach a basketball league for underprivileged kids.

2. What are my core values and beliefs?

It sounds like a simple question, but it’s far from it. You can accept certain values, because you’ve been taught they’re important, but sometimes they don’t work for you. Start by making a list of values you think are important. They may include everything from integrity to friendship, faith to humor, patience to spontaneity. Then rank each on a scale of 1 to 10. All values are good, but understanding which are most important to you will help you understand what will give your life meaning.

3. What goals should I set for myself?

Take stock of each segment of your life, and write down what you visualize as the ultimate goal in each area. Include your career, family, health, relationships, spirituality and travel desires. Ask yourself: What would my best health look like? Who are the people I most want to spend time with?

What do I most want to change? If you don’t understand and set your own goals, you will end up living someone else’s.

4. What do I want my legacy to be?

The ultimate question for anyone considering how to make a greater contribution to his or her world: How do I want to be remembered by those whose lives I touch? A simple way to get to this answer is to write your own obituary.

Sometimes referred to as an “autobituary,” it’s a chance for reflection that also forces you to realize that your time is limited and to take a hard look at the way you’re spending it.

Loosen a stuck ring by putting a little bit of butter on your finger to help it slide.

NEED TO KNOW Tips to make life easier

A squirt of shaving cream can help release latex paint specks on your hands from using a roller brush. Just rub over hands and rinse.

Baked apples (or stuffed peppers) will stay perfectly upright if you set them into the wells of a muffin tin.

Spray a thread end with hairspray to keep it stiff for threading. If you don’t have hairspray a touch of hair gel works as well.

If you are looking for a natural air freshen, try boiling a couple of cups of vinegar and let it simmer for 10 minutes. At first, the vinegar will smell, but then it will disappear and your room will be fresh.

Use your vegetable peeler to make strips of butter if it’s cold and you need to spread it on bread. The strips’ large amount of surface area help the butter to soften quickly, making it easy to spread.

Make your own bath oil by mixing a couple of drops of your favorite perfume with a bit of baby oil. Just rub on post-bath or add to your bathwater.

Get king-size pillowcases from a thrift store to cover a diaper changing pad.

They are the right size and cheap.

Lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup. Never pack it down or tap the cup to level.

Simply fill and then use the flat edge of a knife to remove the excess back to the original container.

BEVERAGE CLUB

Celebrate St. Patrick’s day with these unique drinks

Shamrock Sour Cocktail Ingredients 2 tablespoons lime juice ½ tablespoon lemon juice ¼ c. simple syrup 2 oz. Irish whiskey 1 tiny drop of green food coloring lime wedges for garnish

Instructions Combine ingredients and shake well; strain over ice.

Garnish with a lime wedge and a shamrock stirrer.

To avoid your drink becoming too green, you can dab an extra wooden skewer into the green food coloring and then stir that into your drink to better control the amount of color.

Pickleback Jell-O Shots

Make pickle shot glasses: Cut off the ends of each pickle so that both ends are flat, then cut each pickle in half crosswise.

Using a quarter teaspoon, scoop out the middle of each pickle to create a well.

Carefully pour whiskey mixture into each pickle then sprinkle dill on top. Refrigerate until jello is set, about 2 hours.
