Cover

Title of piece: Hope is the Thing with Feathers Inspiration for cover art:

Hope was an earlier piece for me. My daughter, Anna, sent me the wonderful feather and flower ephemera from Germany and I just had to create a piece around it. I dug into my collection of poems and quotes to find one that evoked the message that I wanted to portray. I decided on a verse of Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the Thing With Feathers.” The bird in her poem is a metaphor for hope, and it persevered through some challenging times—a message of encouragement for all of us.

cover artist Janet Lynch Where do you draw inspiration from?

That can vary. Sometimes I fall in love with a family of colors, and I have to find an excuse to use them. Sometimes, it’s a new technique that I have learned. I am continually inspired to improve at my craft. Since I have just been painting for five years, I know I still have much to learn. Much of my work is women oriented, and it’s important to me to include some words of encouragement, inspiration, gratitude, compassion or introspection. Sometimes a soulful intention drives my creations and at other times, an intuitive message, like a whispered heart note, is revealed through the process of creating. My hope is that these heart notes add another layer of interest and relatability that resonates with a common human spirit.

Who are your biggest supporters? My husband, Mark, is certainly my biggest encourager and supporter. He’s also my art show roady, for which I am very grateful. I would have to say that those who appreciate and buy my artwork are of great support for what I do. When someone at an art show takes the time to read all of my pieces and says “Oh, I really need this one” or “This would be perfect for so and so,” it feels like my art resonates with them personally. This is very gratifying.

Why do you read glo? glo appeals to me right off the shelf because of the artwork on the cover. The first thing I read is the cover artist’s bio. I enjoy reading about local citizens, events around the area, and the feature articles.

March is a special month for me. Three years ago, I became a mom. My daughter, Annabelle, was supposed to arrive on April 6, but she made a surprise early appearance on March 31 at 10 p.m. How can she be almost three??? As they say, the days are long but the years are short.

Facebook facebook.com/glofortwayne Twitter twitter.com/glofortwayne Instagram instagram.com/glofortwayne

And this year, March will hold even more significance as my husband and I are expecting our second daughter on March 24. Whether she comes early or even a little late (let’s hope not), we expect another March baby to join our family.

fort wayne’s

Of course we didn’t necessarily plan for both of our daughters to be born in March—it’s just the way the stars aligned, but considering how brutal the latter months of pregnancy can be, having an excuse to stay indoors and relax during the winter months is a pretty good gig—not to mention oversized sweaters and sweatpants are perfectly acceptable attire during the colder months. Believe me, I have been living in them.

But of course, for everyone else, March means the first hints of spring. While we may still get some cold weather and snow, we start to see the first signs of green popping up and moods begin to brighten as we anticipate the warmer months ahead. This issue is full of content to help you embrace the re-birth that spring brings—from skincare to fashion, mental health and more, you are sure to find something to help you embrace the changing season. As for me, well, I’ll be waddling around waiting for baby No. 2 to come. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and be sure to keep your eyes on our social media accounts so you know when she has arrived. XOXO,

Spring Fashion PREVIEW By Lauren Caggiano

As the snow begins to melt, we think about exchanging our snow boots and heavy sweaters for sandals and lighter garments. As you plan your spring wardrobe, look to what the experts have to say about what’s on-trend for spring 2019.

Self Love & Style Lyn-Maree’s Boutique

According to Emma Marie Metcalf with Lyn-Maree’s Boutique in Auburn, open-knit sweaters and high-rise/wide legged pants and jeans will be very popular. As far as colors, beige and earth tones are winning combinations. Stay away from black, Metcalf advised. Don’t be afraid to go retro, even if it’s a contrast from what’s been popular for some time. “I’m loving this style,” she said. “It’s very different than what is trending now here, so I’m excited to see some new looks, some wide pants and collars coming back.” Along those lines, the fanny packs from your childhood are back with a vengeance. Other accessories include glitzy and statement earrings, hats and hoop earrings. Speaking of earrings, Robin Heller of All About You Boutique in Auburn, said wooden earrings will be all the rage. They are available in her shop in a variety of colors 8

and designs. She said floral motifs will also be hot. On that note, Sue Johnson with Susan’s Fashions said women can bring flowers into their wardrobe with both details and patterns. Arika App with Self Love & Style helps women look and feel their best, one outfit at a time. She has specific advice for bringing life to the earth tone color palette. That means beige, mocha, oatmeal, latte and other nude palettes.

“These colors are being layered on top of each other. For example: a nude color jacket over a beige colored top,” she said. “Other popular spring colors include pastels, such as blush tones, light baby blue, sage green and lavender. These colors are particularly popular in active wear this season. Neon colors are also predicted to be making an appearance this spring.” Don’t be afraid to walk on the wild side. App said leopard print, which has been popular this year, is expected to find its way into closets this spring. When in doubt, don’t be afraid to have fun with variety. For example, you can layer prints over dresses and tops. “Acid wash on denim (including coats, dresses and jeans) and the beach inspired tie-dye print is predicted to make a comeback as well,” she said.

Lastly, everything is coming up roses this spring, literally. In her words, “floral prints will still be in style, as these are a big spring season trend that never go out of style during this time of the year.” App agrees with Metcalf in that the past is making a return in the form of details like feathers and fringe added to clothing, handbags and accessories. The crochet look, popular in the 1970s, will also have a moment. “Other ‘80s inspired trends making a comeback include; puff shoulders and sparkle and sequins,” she said.

Staying Vibrant as You Age By Jaclyn Youhana Garver

Tips abound about how to maintain our vitality and youthfulness as we age: Eat this, not that. Rest more. Sleep better. Move more. Be mindful. So how do we stay vibrant, energetic and enthusiastic as the years tick by? Some suggestions are overwhelming—it’s not so easy to go from, say, sedentary to running a marathon—so we found some simple, digestible ways to start.

Diet Foods that are rich in B vitamins, healthy fats and iron can up our energy levels, said Courtney Rinehold, a registered and certified dietician/nutritionist and the president of Fort Wayne’s RINEHOLD Nutrition Services LLC. She suggests turning to leafy green vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, avocado, wild-caught fish and grass-fed meats. And up the amount of water you drink to boost your energy levels. Coffee and energy drinks may feel good initially, but they’ll ultimately work against you.

Yoga Back bends and balance positions can decrease our stress and increase our energy, said Meg Heminger, owner and instructor at Fusion Yoga in Fort Wayne. Certain twist moves can “wring out the internal organs and tissues,” flushing the body of toxins. Regular practice can relieve headaches, migraines and back and neck pain; promote weight loss; decrease stress, insomnia and depres-

| MARCH GLO 2019 |

Sleep sion; and boost self-awareness, memory and concentration. If the idea of a yoga class is intimidating, Heminger pointed out that flexibility isn’t necessary to be a successful yogi, though it will increase with regular practice.

Skin treatments If you’ve been considering skin treatments, medical spas like Belle Santé in Fort Wayne are an excellent place to look. “We have many patients dealing with the death of a loved one or suffering from a chronic illness. They are often exhausted, and it starts to show in their appearance,” said Leaha Meinika, a licensed aesthetician at Belle Santé. “A lot of our procedures are instantly gratifying, so it is an instant self-esteem booster.” Belle Santé manager Lynn Blanchard recommended a common starter treatment: pristine microdermabrasion, which is non-invasive and uses laser-cut diamonds to remove dead skin cells, leaving deeply polished, glowing skin. The goal isn’t to change the way patients look, Meinika said. Instead, “They come in with hopes of feeling more like themselves again.”

These are symptoms of sleep deprivation: lack of energy, problems paying attention and weight gain, Dr. Raymond Casciari, chief medical officer of St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, Calif., and founder of its a sleep lab, told Health.com. The ideal? Seven hours of sleep. If that seems like an impossible goal, here are some doable tips from Health.com to get there: • Ditch the caffeine by 2 p.m. (that’s not a type-o—it’s really that early). • Don’t bathe immediately before bed. Raising your body temperature can make it harder to fall asleep. • Have your evening glass of wine at 6 p.m., not 11 p.m. Alcohol can decrease the amount of deep sleep you get. • Disconnect from your technology an hour before bed, and keep your gadgets out of the bedroom. a photos: shutterstock.com

Megan Ryan’s resume is likely a 10-pager—one jam-packed with fruitful endeavors. From juggling her work as a special education teacher at Towles Montessori School to leading the charge for Southwest Honey Co., her calendar is her best friend. Oh, and did we mention she serves on the board for the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir and kicks butt organizing the annual Waynedale Community Picnic, too? It’s safe to say Meg is a modern-day superwoman. Can you share with us your experience with Southwest Honey Co? In 2014, Alex Cornwell and I excitedly ventured into the world of beekeeping through a conservation project at the Southwest Conservation Club not knowing we were about discover something life-changing. We were fascinated by the working passion between human and insect. We also realized that our community was in need of someone to advocate for pollinator education to help children and adults connect and understand the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem and how they impact the food we eat. There is nothing better than passion mixed with pleasure! Now the organization hosts various educational programs for kids and the community, and sells products made from local honey to raise money to invest back into apiaries and the Southwest Conservation Club.

What’s your role in the Waynedale community? In 2015, I stepped up to take over the planning and organizing of the Waynedale Community Picnic, which is a long-standing tradition in the Waynedale community. This is a large-scale event that feeds and entertains over 2,000 people each summer, completely funded by local businesses and sponsors.

Tell us about being a special education teacher. I typically get one of two comments from people when I tell them I’m a special education teacher: “You have a gift” or “you must be a very patient person.” While these are somewhat true, I feel that in reality my students give me all the gifts, and THEY have taught me the patience. But most importantly, as a special education teacher, my students have taught me to laugh. And I mean really laugh! My students and I would not survive our days without laughing with one another.

On top of the aforementioned responsibilities, you also serve on the board for the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir. How do you balance everything you’re involved in? Balance is a tricky task that, for me, would not happen without my friend, “Cali” the calendar. Personally, reserving time for family, friends and travel are what keep me balanced. It is important to step away from work and projects to spend time with those close to you. Also, setting aside time throughout the year to travel and change my environment is essential to being able to refresh myself and come home ready and renewed to get back to my commitments and work in the community. Oh, and I also save lots of time for therapeutic snuggles with my favorite cat fur babies, Piper and 2E. a

Claire Comfort Age: 18 By Julie Young | Photo by Mollie Shutt

DeKalb High School senior Claire Comfort is not only a student athlete who balances six AP classes with a host of activities and a medical internship at Scheumann Family Dentistry, but she is also a budding philanthropist and community leader. Few young ladies have amassed the resume she has in the past four years. Claire is most known for her work with VOICE – the DeKalb County Community Foundation’s student led pod. As president of the group, Claire and the other members of the high school advisory team accept and evaluate grant applications then award funds to local entities that are making a difference. “We receive $20,000 each year from the DEKKO Foundation to award, and we distribute it to organizations and individuals who apply for it through grant proposals,” she said. “It is a great opportunity for young people to learn about financial literacy, leadership and the needs within the community.” Claire became involved with VOICE during her freshman year, applied to the program, was selected and quickly found her niche. She was elected treasurer during her sophomore year and elected president for both her junior and senior years. Claire said she likes being part of the evaluation process, learning about the work being done by individuals and organizations and helping them fulfill their missions. In some cases, she is not content to merely give out money. Sometimes she gives of her time, as well.

Have the Confidence You Deserve

“We awarded $1,800 during the fall grant cycle to the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program’s (RSVP) food bank. They are a jack-of-all-trades kind of organization, and after hearing their leader Shirley Johnson speak at one of our meetings, I decided to start volunteering with them once a week,” she said. This is in addition to serving as a DeKalb Diplomats volunteer, Baron Buddies volunteer, Leo Club representative and secretary for her student government organization. “I like to be involved but it is important to stay organized,” she said. “The secret to balancing it all is time management, and luckily I got that and my organizational skills from my dad.” Next year, Claire will attend Indiana University in Bloomington where she plans to double major in biology and communications before entering either medical or law school (she’s not sure which, yet.) Although it will be a different world from DeKalb County, she is confident that she will find new opportunities on campus.

Combat thin hair effectively with non- surgical hair replacement.

“IU has hundreds of clubs and organizations to be part of, so I know I will find something,” she said. “I won’t be in the dorm or in the library every evening; I want to be out in the community making a difference for others.” a

Hoffman

By Stacie Ball | Photo by Zack Kittaka

Bernard Meltzer once said, “There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.” Andrew Hoffman, executive director of NeighborLink since 2008, is living proof of this. His passion for helping others led him to leave a career in advertising and transform NeighborLink from an online bulletin board to a flourishing network that has connected thousands of people in need with volunteers who can help them. Just last year, the organization completed 1,308 volunteer-led projects.

What is one of the most memorable success stories at NeighborLink? A frequently told story is about a woman in her early 70s and her son, who was right around 40. She had some health issues of her own, and he had a liver transplant just two years prior to our meeting. The woman found herself with several repair projects that were beyond her capability physically and financially. If she didn’t fix them, she would have been fined by the City of Fort Wayne’s Code Enforcement office. This project really opened my eyes to what many of our neighbors are facing, no matter the socio-economics or location of the neighborhoods. It led me to change career paths. It’s a success story of how volunteerism can transform you.

How would you encourage others to be more “neighborly?” Take actions to get to know your neighborhoods and neighbors. Learn their names, take more walks and be intentional at looking around to see what seems broken. Say hello or wave to the people you see. The simple act of picking up trash as you walk your dog can transform your neighborhood, because it transforms you. Being neighborly doesn’t mean you have to be friends with everyone, but it does mean being connected and aware.

What do you feel has been your greatest accomplishment? If I have any accomplishments that can be celebrated, it’s because of God’s grace and the people who surround me on my journey. Accomplishments are made possible by the thousands of hard-working volunteers at NeighborLink, and my wife, who is a great supporter, mom, and partner in parenthood and neighboring.

Which women have made the greatest impact in your life and helped you to become the person you are today? My wife, Michelle, is a saint and constantly drives me to be a better, more compassionate and connected leader. She’s the kindest woman, yet the most tenacious advocate. She taught me how to take responsibility when no one else will, do what’s needed when no one else wants to and how to be present and a peacemaker. I wish I could list all of the women leaders I’ve had the privilege of working with who have made an impact on my life. Want more information about NeighborLink? Visit nlfw.org. | MARCH GLO 2019 |

Introducing a new column for glo by Betty Stein. Stein is a Fort Wayne native who has been an educator and newspaper columnist for over 30 years. She received her undergraduate degree at Ohio State University in social administration and her master’s from the University of St. Francis in education and English. She received an honorary doctorate, also from the University of St. Francis. Stein has been a very active volunteer in our community and is currently serving as chairman of the Allen County Public Library Building Corporation, among other activities. And she is very much looking forward to being associated with glo. Oh, and did we mention she’s 102 years old! On Her Nightstand will highlight local women and discuss what they are currently reading.

| MARCH GLO 2019 |

I have just finished reading “Becoming, A Memoir” by Michelle Obama. I am a huge fan of hers because of her eloquence and her poise. She is so full of grace and she is open and accessible - a writer, a leader. This book covers from when she was a little girl to right after the election of 2016, and her story about growing up is inspiring. It covers combatting the feeling of growing up on the south side of Chicago and perhaps not being good enough to sit at the table. She writes with openness, and it is refreshing. She tells us how she coped with angst. Her message is: be open about who you are. I recommend this book, which I bought in hardback, and I’m glad I did.

Then there is “Rising Strong,” by Brene Brown. I don’t usually read this kind of book, but I was comfortable reading it and evidently others have identified with it, too because she does a great job of being a leader. She makes quite an impact. Among other subjects, she talks about how hard it is to get up after a fall and what courage it takes. She writes about how to keep hope alive after being knocked down. In fact, both books talk about how to handle it in a way that makes you grow. A researcher by trade, Brown has genuine empathy with women and she does not hold back trying to empower other women. She was quite inspired by something Teddy Roosevelt wrote, which concludes with “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.” So get involved.

A favorite book is “Night.” It was written by Elie Weisel and deals with the Holocaust. When I was in school, I researched his life because I was so affected by his story. I wondered how he grappled with his faith. It is a wonderfully written book. a

Spring Break WEDNESDAY:

Get out

If you were new to your city, what would you want to do? What’s a spot you’ve been dying to try? Have you made it to Briali Winery in Fremont or Byler Lane Winery in Auburn? What about the new restaurants in downtown Fort Wayne, like Copper Spoon or Proximo? Are you a boutique shopper who’s never set foot in Smiley’s Joy or Sugar Love? Today is for hitting up all those newto-you spots.

One-hundred twenty hours. Five days. One spring break. Just because you’re planning a staycation doesn’t mean you can’t end your break feeling just as restful and rejuvenated as if you flew somewhere with sunshine and palm trees. And let’s be honest: Staying home will likely be less stressful in the long run—no late flights or unexpected storms or unexpectedly closed rental car companies to deal with. So stay put, recharge and feel happy about it. Here’s how. actually keep it on for the recommended amount of time. Figure out what each of those shaping and smoothing sides on your nail files does, and give yourself a manicure in Living Coral, Pantone’s 2019 color of the year, a bright, sunny watermelon.

Acknowledging Grief By Cathy Shouse

The initial grief you experience when a loved one dies can be overwhelming. In the early days, your friends and family will often draw near to support you. But as time goes on, people may go back to their normal routines while you are still coping with the loss. Seeing a beautiful sunset, hearing a certain song or going to a restaurant you used to enjoy together can bring you to tears. Experiencing each holiday and even the seasons for the first time, without that special someone, is especially heart wrenching. You could find comfort by planning a grief acknowledgement anniversary.

You can invite people to release balloons with messages of encouragement or memories tied on. Others have met with family for the individual’s favorite meal or they visit the gravesite. English said Visiting Nurse offers a program specifically for women who have lost their mothers.

Dana Wyant, RN, works in labor and delivery and is also the grievant coordinator at the Dupont Hospital Resource Center. She has seen patients who lose their baby do a number of things to acknowledge their grief. “A grief anniversary acknowledgement definitely comes up in our support groups as they get further along,” Wyant said. “Usually they will acknowledge the due date or the date of birth. Those are the two big ones.”

“We have an event the week before Mother’s Day called Memories of Mom, for daughters who have lost their mothers, where we offer an all-day event of memory sharing and group activities to help daughters process their grief before that particular milestone,” English said. “It’s a free event and includes breakfast and lunch.”

One family had a first birthday party for their baby who had died. Some families have requested that friends and family choose a book on grief and wellness from the hospital’s book drive. Each book was then dedicated in the baby’s name and donated to Kate’s Cart, which supplies books for patients. Others have made blankets, given baby clothes or donated a Cuddle Cot, all items to be given to families coping with a similar loss. “Everybody grieves differently,” said Terrie English, a grief counselor at The Peggy F. Murphy Community Grief Center, which is affiliated with Visiting Nurse. “A grief anniversary is something that is encouraged in the literature,” English said. “But everyone should do what they are comfortable with. One family I know got together and had different flavors of popcorn because that’s what their family member was known for. So there’s lots of ways.” Friends are sometimes uncertain how to help, but any expression of caring is usually welcome. “A 24

Celebra t memor ing the those w ies of e loved lot of people are afraid to bring up the name because it will make them sad. But they’re already sad,” English said. “No one has to remind you. Sometimes, building up to that date can be anxiety provoking. The body feels it sometimes before the mind does.”

By Carly Thompson-Memmer, PhD Student

“You’re so… crazy, psycho, insane, weird, off the deep end.” Whether these terms are used in jest or seriously, they can hurt. Unfortunately, there is a lot of stigma still associated with mental illness. Although the terms mental health and mental illness are often used interchangeably, they are not the same things. A person can experience poor mental health, such as extreme stress, and not be diagnosed with a mental illness. Likewise, a person diagnosed with a mental illness can experience extended periods of well-being.

Approximately 44.7 million U.S. adults are diagnosed with a mental illness each year. This means that approximately one out of every five adults has a mental illness. However, it should be noted that more women experience mental illness than men do on average. And some illnesses are more common in women, such as

Our society is so focused on the physical aspects of health, that we typically don’t give appropriate attention to our mental health. However, just like our physical bodies, the more you neglect your problems, the worse they get over time. Hopefully, as more awareness is brought to the importance of mental health, we will start to see more acceptance of taking time to take care of your health—both physical and mental.

Surprisingly, less than half of those with a mental illness have received treatment. Treatment for mental illness can include therapy, in-patient or out-patient clinics, holistic approaches and pharmaceuticals. One reason that people may not seek treatment is due to the stigma attached to mental illness. In the past and presently, people have been inclined to label those with mental illness as less competent, stupid, or possibly even dangerous. It’s acceptable when an employee calls off work due to the flu, but much less acceptable if an employee calls off to address their mental health.

Green Burial Options By Barb Sieminski

It was bound to happen. The move toward sustainability in all areas finally has moved to the most natural one of all. Green burials are rapidly becoming a solution to the environment and the exorbitant cost of traditional funerals. The private ceremony with full military honors took place at the cemetery on Dec. 11, 2017. Remenschneider works closely with 35-year Funeral Director Bob Jesch at Divine Mercy Funeral Home to accommodate natural burials. “Bob who has served more than 35 years as funeral director expertly guided me through difficult decisions and gracefully provided support services at the memorial service and the burial,” said Wyss, who provided single flowers for each family member to place on the wood casket before it was lowered. “My 7-year-old grandson, a stone and crystal collector, added a few of his favorite small stones. It was a beautiful ceremony and the first of its kind in Fort Wayne.”

Linda Wyss was the first Fort Wayner to wholeheartedly embrace this phenomenon a year ago. “It’s been a year since my husband passed away unexpectedly,” said Wyss. “We had decided on a green burial while preparing our will and healthcare documents. We discovered that Concordia Cemetery and Gardens was in the planning stages for a natural burial section in its cemetery, and we both wanted an environmentally friendly burial with the body left in its natural state, using natural materials in a natural setting. Don Remenschneider, the knowledgeable and compassionate Concordia Cemetery superintendent, was one of many angels who helped me through that traumatic time, and the burial sites are in a lovely wooded setting.” 28

| MARCH GLO 2019 |

More information on the differences between a green burial and a traditional burial: in the former, the deceased is not embalmed with toxic chemicals; rather, the body is left in its natural state or embalmed with non-toxic, formaldehyde-free fluids. The grave is filled with a layer of pine boughs and natural materials, followed by compost and soil. Markers are natural, such as a native fieldstone and plant-blossoming ground cover to make a small garden on the plot. Lauren Richwine, who feels that she may be Fort Wayne’s first End-of-Life, Green Burial and Home funeral advocate, is a non-medical holistic guide who supports individuals and families as they anticipate or cope with death. She learned most of what she knows about green burial by the Earth Traditions certification program she completed last spring. “Whenever a person or family wants to start planning for end-of-life decisions, that is where I come in,” said Richwine. “Our state is one of only nine where we are legally required to hire a

funeral director at the time of death so families who want something more intimate in the home need a funeral director willing to facilitate it. I can refer them to specific funeral directors I personally trust who will allow them to do that. I can also help make sure the paperwork is in order, suggest rituals or activities to aid in processing the experience of death, hold vigil, help write legacy letters or guide a family through a home funeral. Even if the loss is an animal companion, I can share the tools to make it a meaningful experience.” “Richwine is in the process of launching Death Done Differently (https://doingdeathdifferently. com/), which is the business that will allow her to accomplish all of this. Three advantages of green burial include environmental, land preservation and use and cost: Traditional burial may be as little as $3,500 but that doesn’t include the service, funeral director, memorial or embalming. Natural burial may be around $1,500 by comparison. The latter type of burial uses only biodegradable materials, such as a wicker casket or shroud made of natural fibers. “According to statistics compiled at Cornell University, an estimated 827,060 gallons of embalming fluid goes into the ground each year,” said Richwine. “As the body decomposes, these chemicals leach out and can find their way into our water supply. Also, a green burial cemetery may mark graves with flat stones or with individual trees and the property maintains a natural appearance and can simultaneously be used as a land preserve where wildlife and natural flora flourish.” a photos: shutterstock.com

A Grand Time in Grand Rapids By Lauren Caggiano

Located just a few hours by car from Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids, Mich., is the perfect city for a weekend girls’ trip. We’ve made it easy to plan your getaway with a sample itinerary:

4. Eat, drink and be merry.

1. Score a deal.

All that activity can certainly work up an appetite. You certainly won’t go hungry in this city. GR is known for its culinary ambitions. The Grand Rapids Food Trail is a good place to start. Here, you’ll find options throughout the city ranging from Vietnamese to gourmet cheese boards. And bonus: it’s all fairly affordable!

Whether you’re looking for brand names or more bespoke items, Grand Rapids has it all. Rivertown Crossings, Woodland and Tanger Outlets are the places to check out for the hottest fashion trends. Located just east of downtown, the Uptown shopping district is known for its quirky vibe and boutiques.

In the mood for something more interactive? GR boosts a wide variety of tours and experiences, ranging from brewpub and whiskey distillery tours to cooking classes.

2. Get inspired. There’s always something artsy going on in the GR. Take in a musical at Broadway Grand Rapids. Or if you’re looking for something more upscale, check out the ballet, opera or symphony. You might also consider a visit to the Grand Rapids Art Museum or Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. The latter promises an experience in and of itself. This 200-acre attraction features an impressive collection of natural and manmade art. 34

| MARCH GLO 2019 |

3. Reset. Even the most active gal needs some time to slow down every now and then. Schedule a spa day at the Amway Grand Plaza, Curio Collection by Hilton or the JW Marriott Grand Rapids. Or maybe you prefer to find your zen at a local yoga studio like The Yoga Studio or Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse to work up a good sweat. Grab your mat and prepare to shut off the outside world for an hour or two.

5. Let loose. Did someone say beer? You’re in luck. Grand Rapids is known as “Beer City, USA,” after all. Visit 75+ craft breweries on the Beer City Ale Trail – and collect stamps at specially designated breweries to become a Beer www.experiencegr.com City Brewsader, which earns you fun prizes. Continue the night by heading to the downtown entertainment district, your destination for nightclubs, bars, brewpubs, a comedy club, etc. You won’t be disappointed by one of the 100+ live music venues on the Grand Rapids Music Trail. Depending on the season, you can take in a show outside or in an intimate club. Fun awaits you in Beer City, USA. The only thing left to do is decide who’s driving! P.S. Don’t forget to submit your photos for our monthly “Gal Pals” feature! a photos: shutterstock.com

ALL ABOUT YOU | Glo-roscopes

march 2019

By Julie Young

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Because you tend to be detached, you have trouble noticing when good luck has come your way. Look up from the introspection and examine the world around you. There is more going on than you like to acknowledge and new opportunities on the horizon.

Virgos have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Their luck may seem as if it were written in the stars, but in reality, it is thanks to tenacity, timing and a bit of talent. You’ll get anything you want in life with your intelligence and ambition.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

A real woman makes her own luck and Aries women are always open to new opportunities. She doesn’t sit around waiting for good fortune to come to her; she goes out and gets it. This is the month to make things happen! You will find luck wherever you go!

Taurus (April 20 - May 20) You have a tendency to give into your guilty pleasures, which often take the form of material possessions. As a result, these items become good luck charms in your life. Be aware of the value you assign to these trinkets and don’t abuse their perceived power.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20) You will only find success when you put your mind to it. Good luck only comes to those who are active so drop the laissez fare attitude and get in the game. You can’t win if you don’t play. A new relationship is on the horizon, but you won’t find it if you don’t look.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) You don’t exactly repel good luck, but you have a hard time believing in it. When something wonderfully unexpected happens, you shrug it off and continue with your day as if nothing out of the ordinary occurred. Sometimes there is not a logical explanation for everything.

Leo (July 23 - August 22) Although you seem to have been born with a lucky silver spoon in your mouth, Leo knows that she has worked hard for everything she has. There is no shame in being proud of what you have accomplished! You believe in the power of positive thinking and it has paid off. 38

| MARCH GLO 2019 |

You live a life of balance and are the least concerned with having luck on your side. When something wonderful happens, you assume it levels out something less pleasant that has happen or is yet to come. This awareness may keep you on your toes, but you don’t really have to be that cautious.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Although you usually attract the worst type of luck, 2019 will prove to be a good year for you in this respect. Your mysterious aura will draw others to you and they will bring positive vibes with them. You will achieve your goals if you keep pursuing them.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) You always look on the bright side of life and somehow you tend to fall into the most amazing opportunities. Some women would kill for your kind of luck, but you simply see it as the way things work out for you. Don’t take it for granted though. What the universe gives, it can also take away.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You are driven by a need to succeed, so it is not a question of if good luck will come your way; it’s a matter of when. It may take weeks or months to make your dreams come true, but you are in charge of your own fate.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Your go-with-the-flow attitude may cause others to question your lot in life, but you know things tend to work out, even if you are never sure how. You adapt to what the universe hands you assuming you will land feet first. Follow your heart and good luck will come your way. a
