“Leaning Stronger ”

Describe the inspiration behind your cover ar twork. While strength cer tainly comes from within us from places we uncover and discover, it also comes from being strong enough to say, ‘yes, I need help’ or ‘yes, I’ll let you help lighten my load.’ We become stronger emotionally, physically and mentally when we’re in communit y, when we share our power, when we open our hear ts and when we hold on tight to each other We sur vive and thrive when we seek and seize oppor tunities to lend our strength and accept someone else’s.

Fall leaf piles look fluffier than they feel.

With sloppily laced tennies, this pipsqueak would sprint, leap and crash with reck less abandon into freshly-raked leaves Gleeful expec tations of landing in marshmallow-ey, cushion-ey fluff instead resulted in pluck ing acorns from scraped elbows But, it was totally wor th it

Remember these days? Autumn hosts such lovely moments I t ’s memories of the excitement, the thrill, the contentment and even momentar y pain that stick In fall, our senses simply spark to awesome aler tness

Think of crispy fall leaves Smok y, cool-night bonfires Spice-scented candles That thick, chunk y sweater that warms better than any guy (well, almost) And, yes, go grab your favorite fuzz y Chicago Bulls slippers because fall is here!

(Don’t judge I’m Chicago-born )

Don’t we all have our own lists of favorite fall items and memories?

Of course we do.

Yes, ladies (and gents), it ’s time for pumpk in-spiced ever ything, bonfires and coz y snuggling. I t ’s no wonder so many of us love fall.

Tall boots are (thankfully) back in season Scar ves, mittens and fuzz y anything is in style

Fashion-Forward Feet

By Lauren Caggiano

Summer was made for sundresses, strappy sandals and off-the-shoulder blouses Yet, with the change of seasons comes a change in st yle, of course Two local boutique owners have the 411 on how to successfully transition from laz y summer days to cooler autumn nights in st yle.

K arla Fisher with Urban She-k Boutique in For t Wayne says this fall is all about tex ture “faux fur, vegan leathers, velvet and chunk y sweaters, ” she said. Some designers are pack ing a punch with embellishments like bows, large straps and beading.

As for colors, Fisher said ladies should seek out jewel tones

But what about our shoes?

Don’t forget the classic fall staple of boots, Fisher said “ We have great boots tall and shor t coming in, ” she said “Some we can special order in fun colors like reds, blues, purples, etc ” White is having a moment, too, with black lacing The color trend is expec ted to carr y into winter

Emma Marie Metcalf with Lyn-Maree’s Boutique in Auburn echoed Fisher ’s comments Fall looks are versatile Metallic colors, reds, classic pump and sock boots, and adorned or floral booties are all the rage, she said Slouch boots call to mind the decade of decadence Ever ything old is new again, and slouch boots are cer tainly one of the remnants from the decade that are mak ing a comeback for the late 2010s. Speak ing of retro, preppy looks like Oxfords and loafers are also trending, as are shoes with fun zippers, laces, textures or patterns.

If boots are your fall fashion go-to, you’re in luck You can go from the office to dinner with friends with ease. “Boots are easily paired with a sk ir t and leggings or tights, ” said Metcalf. “ This is a great way to give a dressy dress a little edge.”

There are some other style rules to follow, however, when spor ting boots. You might consider fol-

lowing Metcalf ’s advice: “If you’re going to do an ank le bootie with jeans, be sure you’re in a ‘boyfriend, ’ ‘sk inny, ’ or tapered jean, then cuff the bottoms about an inch above the bootie.”

Regardless of the specific choice, Metcalf said fall footwear is all about mak ing a statement In her words, “go simple/classic on the clothing, then really make your outfit stand out with some fabulous shoes.“

If you’re more conser vative in dress and afraid of standing out too much, Metcalf offers a solution: “I would steer clear of any shoes that are too metallic Instead go for a pair that has a touch of metallic maybe on the heel or toe. Adding a touch of these trends also helps the shoe itself last longer so you don't look ‘out of date’ nex t season. “

When in doubt, Metcalf said to go with a simple, timeless outfit and then add “small pops of trends” with your accessories.

“ This keeps you look ing fabulous and not overdoing any trends, ” she said “Also keep to one, or maybe two trends at a time “

After all, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing But walk ing in style? I t ’s easy this season a

Terra Brantley

By Deborah C Gerbers | Photo by Sue Rawlinson

Emmy-nominated and award-winning news anchor Terra Brantley enjoys her peaceful life in For t Wayne with her suppor tive husband and t wo fantastic children. But her life wasn’t always peaceful; Terra was physically and emotionally abused by her first husband in what she calls a volatile marriage marked by his drug addic tion and violence

“ We sought professional counseling to work through the difficulties and save our marriage, but in the end the physical abuse and his drug abuse were too much to endure, ” she said

After their divorce, Terra and her two young children began to rebuild their lives Her ex-husband was arrested on drug charges and was sent to the Plainfield Correc tional Facility, which allowed Terra and the k ids to escape his violence, but there were still obstacles they faced “My children were young grade school students whose grades and attitudes were suffering, ” she explained “ They would ac t out the violence they saw at home Prayer, tremendous childcare help from friends and out of town relatives and frequent visits to the YMCA and Y WCA were our cornerstones for stabilization By learning to work through our struggles, and me personally immersing myself in ever y aspec t of my children’s lives, we all learned to work hard and both of my children became Principal’s Honor Roll students.”

After the divorce, Terra’s life improved as she felt more in control of her situation “I no longer felt like I was drowning, ” she said “By forgiving and releasing the negativity, an anvil was lifted off of my soul and I became receptive to oppor tunities around me.”

Terra credits her career as a public figure for the ability to share with others her stor y of overcoming domestic violence, and finds it therapeutic when her life experience helps someone else. “I find it offers hope and inspiration to others, and hope is a ver y power ful thing, ” she said. “Releasing the negativity and sharing my hear t helps heal wounds and breaks the silence and isolation often felt by those impac ted by domestic violence ”

Terra continues to rely on her faith to help her through situations like her violent marriage. She quotes one of her favorite Bible verses, Galatians 6:9: “’And let us not be wear y in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not ’ I believe that when you share your testimony, God will open the door and help you positively change someone’s life ”

Brianna Bolinger

Twirler with a Mission

Age: 20

By K ayleen Reusser

In 2001 Brianna B olinger was playing on her family ’s farm in nor thern Wells Count y when a nearby gas tank exploded.

The preschooler received second and third degree burns on 60 percent of her body When doc tors determined she would sur vive, they advised Bolinger ’s parents to find an ac tivity to assist with her recover y and to increase flexibility in her fingers The answer was baton twirling

Star ting as a student with the Rising Stars program in Geneva, Bolinger excelled in the spor t, which includes gymnastics, ballet and dancing “ There is a lot of body work and coordination k nown as strutting that comes with twirling a baton," she said “People who have seen me compete would say I love to strut ”

In 2008 Bolinger won her first nationals competition At age nine she began studying under World Baton Twirling Federation coach and judge Kyle Williams-Keiser Star ting in grade 8, Bolinger traveled to K alamazoo to train with the U S Twirling Association While attending Nor well High School, she per formed with the school’s band as its featured twirler at ever y football game before graduating in 2016.

As K alamazoo felt like her second home, Bolinger auditioned for and was awarded one of three featured twirler positions with the Western M ichigan University band. “ We per form at all home games and some away games," she said. During the 2016 season, the college achieved a 13-0 season, earning them a spot at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on New Year ’s Day 2017.

“Sometimes I get butter flies at competitions, ” Bolinger said. “But when I twirl my baton (or even three!) for my college, I don't get ner vous," she said. “God provides each of us with gifts. My gift is baton twirling. We need to embrace what those gifts are and share them with others ”

In August of this year, Bolinger returned from competing in Croatia just before returning to K alamazoo where she will begin as a student at Bronson Nursing School. “My goal is to work as a nurse at St Joe Hospital in For t Wayne in the burn unit," she said “ That is where I was treated as a child after my accident ” Bolinger was fortunate to complete an internship work ing under the super vision of some of the same nurses who treated her “ They helped me as a patient and student acquire sk ills I needed not only to heal but thrive," she said a

Scenic Fun Day Trips

By Cathy Shouse

One of Indiana’s hidden gems is as simple as it is exquisite the turning of the leaves ever y fall With life moving so quickly, a glimpse is sometimes all there is, and then they ’re gone This year, take a pledge and make plans to sneak in a getaway to truly enjoy this season.

AS A SPORT

The Lake House, Winona Lake, 574.265.1420, thevillage@winona.com

Join their Facebook page for up-to-date information on the leaves, because water reflec tions fade leaf colors more quick ly At Mongo River Run it ’s family-friendly, with currents of three to five miles an hour, and water just a few feet deep

And need we mention it ’s beautiful there in the fall? “ The leaves flutter down to the water like snowflakes, ” Scalzo said

BY CAR

Think you’re too busy? We’ve found some easy, quick ways to indulge See our listings below

FROM THE SKY

Zip Timberlake, Huntington, 260.672.3251, ziptimberlake.com

What better way to see the fall leaves than from up near the trees? In 2013, this location added zip lines that run seven days a week V isitors can simply go online to reser ve a zipline that offers three “zips” and two high bridges Or, take the granddaddy-of-them-all pack age, which includes eight “zips” and four sk y bridges, goes seven stories tall and is 1,000 feet across

“I t all depends on how comfor table you are with heights, and on what you want to spend, ” said Justus Zahm “ We’ve also got two ponds, a big lake and hik ing paths ”

And as a nod to the spook y season, for Oc toberonly, zip lines will be running at night (Cool!)

Tr y a stand up paddleboard “Pic ture a 12-foot long sur fboard and you stand in the middle of it and use a 5-foot paddle to propel yourself along You can swim out off of it or sit on it. I t ’s a lot more versatile than any other water spor t, ” said Jake England, owner of The Lake House.

There’s a marina there as well, and the area is wooded for optimum leaf viewing “I t is gorgeous (here) in the fall, ” England said “And there is shopping and dining. We’re a destination spot for people to get out of town but we’re not too far out.”

ON THE WATER

Mongo River Run, Howe, 260.336.0757, paddlemongo.com

This place is k nown for offering leaf views in an especially laid-back manner literally. O wner Tammy Scalzo offered a tip for easily spotting the business. “Look for the fleet of green canoes. They ’ve all got built-in back rests and are k nown as ‘Cadillacs, ’” she said

Brown County State Park, Nashville, 812.988.6406, in.gov/dnr/parklake/2988.htm

Find the mother-lode of fall’s leaf bounty in southern Indiana Drive in to the park on SR 46 Rolling hills and woods abound, and then there’s the park itself, with16,000 acres and oh-so-many trees Remember that weekends are busiest, when it ’s near impossible to get a campsite If you get there early, you may snag a picnic table to set your food basket on While you’re viewing the leaves, watch the road Traffic sometimes gets bumper to bumper in peak season.

Whatever plans you make near or far, with friends and family or solo will be wor th it, to fully appreciate one of the finest seasons in Indiana a

Makes Emotional ‘ Scents’

By Erin Dozois

Few creatures can rival a dog’s sense of smell. Their 300 million olfac tor y receptors put our mere six million to shame. Their brains process scent 40 times greater than our own We can train our pups to sniff out drugs, find missing persons and detec t illnesses. They can even smell our feelings and our fears

While those stats are impressive, our noses deser ve some credit too. A recent study from Rockefeller University concluded that humans are capable of detec ting at least one trillion distinc t scents, many of which can evoke powerful memories and emotions

“Our sense of smell and the region of the brain that stores memories are ver y closely connec ted, ” said Brian Army, owner and manager of The Wick Works, For t Wayne “For instance, the smell of a lilac candle could instantly remind you of the house that you grew up in, or the scent of Honeycrisp apples may take you back to your mom’s apple pie Almost ever yone can associate a cer tain smell with a par ticular time in their life ”

I t is for these reasons why many champion our sense of smell as being the strongest we possess

“One of the best par ts of my job is when I get to see a customer reac t to a scent that takes them back to a happy memor y, ” said Army “ You see the eyes close and the face soften, and you just k now that they have found a scent they will forever treasure ”

a

Fun Fact: Women have a better sense of smell than men, most likely used to help her choose a biologically compatible mate

‘Scent ’-sational Scents for Fall

We’ve been look ing for ward to festivals, fires and football all year. Fall is finally here, and we’re falling in love with the scents of the season.

“Ever yone looks for ward to the fall fragrances, ” said Army, “especially the pumpk in scents ” O ther autumnal favorites include:

Warmer Tones

Vanilla: One of the most popular scents among both men and women, vanilla is an aphrodisiac with calming proper ties.

Amber: Created by blending together other warm fragrances (frank incense, sandalwood, vanilla, etc ), amber adds a touch of woody sweetness when mixed with other scents

Pear: A fruity bouquet that helps to increase focus and raise appetite.

Roasted chestnut: The smell of roasting chestnuts takes us back to the holidays of yore

Ear thy/Wood Tones

Mahogany: Likened to the scent of leather, mahogany inspires a feeling of luxur y and sophistication

Teakwood: Pleasant and musk y, some women repor t the smell of teak wood to be ak in to a handsome man in a suit.

Patchouli: A spic y, bold aroma popular in the ‘60s, patchouli can reawaken decades-old memories of peace, love and hippies

The Classics

Campfires, apples, mulled cider, autumn leaves these are all prac tically autumn’s olfac tor y anthem Tr y not to feel nostalgic with the smell of pumpk in pie wafting through the air we’re not sure it ’s even possible a

Fighters

Sur viving and Thriving Following Breast Cancer

By Lauren Caggiano

Three local women prove that living a fuller and rich life af ter breast cancer is possible.

Leslie Wor thy is among them Her stor y star ts in the 1980s, when her grandmother passed away from the disease, then later her mother The cancer continued within her family, when both her sisters, LeeAnne and M ichelle, received the same diagnosis LeeAnne endured radical chemotherapy, a lumpec tomy and later a mastec tomy She for tunately is in a 10-year remission at this time and is doing well. Sadly, M ichelle lost her life to the cancer after a courageous battle but her journey affec ted Wor thy on a visceral level.

“ When my sister M ichelle passed away, I was terrified, ” she said. “I felt like ever yone was getting (breast cancer).” Wor thy was having difficulty sleeping and endured panic attacks. She k new she had to do something.

Wor thy was able to channel that anxiety into ac tion She saw a physician and was referred to the Yale Cancer Center. With her hereditar y markers and chances of developing the cancer at about 99.9 percent, she made the difficult decision to remove both healthy breasts. That was June 1999 a move ver y uncommon at the time

Following the mastec tomy, she opted to have salinefilled implants to replace breast tissue. The recover y was long and painful, but ultimately, she felt at peace with her decision. “I t was a weight lifted off my shoulders, ” she said

Wor thy ’s advice for women is simple, but power ful: “Be conscious of what you’re putting in your body, get plenty of rest and follow your doc tor ’s advice.”

Real estate agent Beth Goldsmith’s stor y is similar in that there’s a familial histor y of breast cancer Her mother had cancer when she was pregnant with Beth. Goldsmith’s sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in her late 30s and sadly passed away in her early 40s. So, when Goldsmith was diagnosed herself in 2008, it wasn’t a huge shock For tunately, she was able to seek exceptional care from the Indiana University medical system and has now been cancerfree for nearly 10 years

Now that she has the benefit of a clean bill of health, she has a unique perspec tive on what the diagnosis has meant for her personally it ’s a perspec tive that my provide strong inspiration to others in similar shoes “Joy can still be found in the midst of suffering and life’s greatest challenges, ” she said

For Goldsmith, it is her great joy to be an advocate for the nex t generation, especially when it comes to prevention and early detec tion. She has par ticipated in numerous fundraisers for the cause of cancer awareness and personally donates to cancer organizations

Speak ing of early detec tion, glo’s graphic designer Maymie Ankrom’s proac tive approach to her health perhaps saved her life. For years she had a lump and constant pain in her right breast. “I went for yearly physicals and routine mammograms and ultrasounds, and the results would always find that it was just dense breast tissue, ” she said

Even so, symptoms like occasional discharge from her breast persisted Her medical team never seemed to be concerned and suggested keeping a watchful eye on it Then in September 2016, she woke up with a bloody discharge from her right breast that stained her pajamas and sheets She k new something wasn’t right

She immediately sought an exper t opinion and on Sept 21, 2016 went in for a right breast duc t excision and par tial lumpec tomy I t was determined she needed to have a wide excision procedure

“ The pathology repor t came back stating the tissue they tested had more of the same noninvasive precancerous cells, ” she said “At this point the doc tors were not comfor table about the margins they received with this surger y and suggested that they either go in and tr y and remove

more tissue to get a clear margin; do radiation; or a mastec tomy on my right breast ” They went with the latter approach, which spared her from the side effec ts that come with radiation treatment When the final pathology repor t came back finding that there were more non-invasive cells throughout the breast (along with a trace of micro-invasive cells!), she was grateful they chose the mastec tomy

“I was for tunate that we have a cancer center here in Goshen with a great team of doc tors who collaboratively work together and discuss individual cases to come up with the best treatment plans for you, ” she said

Each of these lady champs endured their own suffering and proac tively made an individual choice to better their own health and circumstances We all are faced with difficult health choices throughout our lives; may we be inspired by others’ journeys, using their experience to pave pathways for the nex t generation. a

Pumpkin Spice Latte

By Sue Rawlinson

Call me old-fashioned, my mother ’s daughter or just a fan of Libby ’s, but when it comes to anything made with pumpkin, I feel there’s no better guidance than direc tly from exper ts of orange at Libby

With Libby in mind and the winds of fall upon us, many sweater-snugglin’ glo gals are eager to reach for pumpkin spice lattes.

So, why not make your own? You’re welcome.

Ingredients

• 1 cup strong coffee

• 2/3 cup Nestle Carnation evaporated milk

• 1/3 cup Libby ’s 100 percent pure pumpk in

• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon pumpk in pie spice or ground cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla ex trac t

• Whipped cream, optional (not really optional c ’mon, we all like whipped cream)

Direc tions

1. Combine coffee, evaporated milk, pumpk in, sugar, pumpk in pie spice and vanilla ex trac t in 2 cup microwave-safe glass measure or small saucepan. Heat until ver y hot (if using stove, use medium-low heat and stir occasionally).

2. Carefully pour into mugs.

3 Top with whipped cream if desired

Tip: To make a foamy top to your latte, much like your favorite coffee house creation, prepare as above without the whipped cream Carefully transfer hot mix ture into blender container; cover with lid and then hold down lid with folded towel or potholder Blend for 1 minute Ver ybestbaking com a

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Domestic Violence Awareness Month

By Barb Sieminsk i

Because both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Violence Month are commemorated in Oc tober, the ideal situation and principle for both awareness obser vations is that forewarned is forearmed So, let ’s become more aware and push to sharpen ever yone’s perceptions in hopes that awareness can lend toward eradication.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, with nearly 1 7 million new cases diagnosed in 2012, according to the World Cancer Research Fund International Some contributors include early menstruation (before the age of 12), late natural menopause after the age of 55, not bearing children and first pregnanc y over the age of 30 (due to increased lifetime exposure to estrogen and progesterone). The risk of this cancer doubles each decade until menopause after which the increase slows.

Various recommendations for cancer prevention include keeping weight/height-propor tional, being physically ac tive at least 30 minutes daily, avoiding high-calorie foods and sugar y drinks, eating more grains, vegetables, fruits and beans, limiting red meat, avoiding processed meats, limiting alcohol and eating less salt Also, breastfeeding your baby exclusively for six months is a public health goal for helping to keep breast cancer at bay

Early detec tion is crucial for more sur vivors, and treatments include surger y, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and targeted therapy O ther, alternative methods of treatment may include vitamins, herbs, acupunc ture or massage

Clinical trials are studies where people volunteer to test new drugs or procedures and may offer state-of-the-ar t medicine Check into them either online or with your doc tor to see if entering one is right for your stage or type of cancer Also, look for resources in your area such as the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org) and others. The National Cancer Information Specialists are available 24/7 with any patient ser vices or cancer

information questions at 1.800.227.2345. Check out the Indiana Cancer Ac tion Center at www acscan org The National Breast Cancer website (http://www nationalbreastcancer org/breastcancer-awareness-month) offers a plethora of information; however, it should be noted that some of the videos on the website are not closedcaptioned, leaving the video information inaccessible to the deaf population

D omestic Violence Awareness Month

This type of violence can unintentionally punish its victims even more because of common silence of vic tims not repor ting it The National Network to End Domestic V iolence (NNEDV: http://nnedv org/) has valuable information on its website Domestic violence isn’t just physical abuse I t can be verbal, emotional, psychological and even financial

Recognize the signs of an abuser : insecurity, excessively jealous, emotionally dependent, manipulative and ver y charming one moment and then suddenly angr y If any of the above descriptions fits your relationship or that of a friend, there is help readily available Keep such phone numbers in your billfold for instant access, and exper ts suggest keeping a small bag packed away for a quick leave-tak ing, if need be. Avenues of help and hotlines, some of which are available 24/7: 911 if you are in immediate danger; Center for Nonviolence (www center fornv org; 260 456 4112 ); Women’s Bureau (www womensbureau org; 260 424 7977); National Domestic V iolence Hotline (http://www thehotline org; 1 800 799 7233 or T T Y 1 800 787 3224) a

“ We fund research for the cure through the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer, but until the day breast cancer is eradicated, we are dedicated to the early detec tion and treatment of breast cancer, ” said Jenna Leffers, public relations and philanthropy specialist at Vera Bradley

Francine’s Friends is a mobile mammography coach that provides life-saving mammography screening to insured, uninsured or underinsured women in nor theast Indiana at locations near their homes or work places

This all-volunteer 501c3 organization offers funding for mammograms for women in our community who may be unable to other wise receive this potentially lifesaving screening Funds raised each year at its annual Lunch with Friends event are dedicated to covering the average cost of $135 for a screening mammogram As of June, Francine’s Friends has screened 40,085 women, visited 2,906 unique community, business sites and clinics in Adams, Allen, DeK alb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties in nor theast Indiana, and afforded 10,979 women their first screening mammogram.

“Francine’s Friends is providing a valuable ser vice to our community and we are proud to be a

with them, ” said Mark M illet, president and chief executive officer of Steel D ynamics Inc

Echoing M illet ’s sentiments was M ichelle Kearns, marketing communications direc tor of Physicians Health Plan, who said, “Francine’s Friends shares our focus of suppor ting preventive health and early detec tion programs and we are proud to provide financial suppor t for continued access to life-saving mammograms.”

Glynda Harris, projec t coordinator of Radiation Oncology Associates, put a face on the real Francine “Francine, the namesake of Francine’s Friends, touched many people in her life, ” said Harris. “She embodied the spirit of giving, strength of charac ter and courage under stressful times. What better resource than to take the mobile mammography coach and the means of early detec tion to the women who need it?” a

You are a natural-born ac tress who likes to be ‘in charac ter ’ wherever you go. You see your wardrobe as your costume and your dialogue as your ‘lines.’ This month, why not tr y being yourself for a change? You may find it to be the role of a lifetime and chances are you’ll receive rave reviews!

Aquarius ( Januar y 20 - Februar y 18)

Some days it feels as if you have walked under a ladder, broken a mirror and tripped over a black cat, but you can’t appreciate the period of feast if you can’t endure the famine You’ll have to muddle along for a while, but there are more treats than tricks ahead

Pisces (Februar y 19 - March 20)

Halloween is a time for fun, so be careful not to throw around opinions that no one asked for An innocent comment about a costume or candy bar could offend someone who is merely tr ying to have a good time If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

You have a natural gift for stor ytelling but a simple ghost stor y around a campfire could have a lasting effec t on those who hear it Don’t make the tale too terrifying or ever yone will hear things that go bump in the night and you’ll never get any rest

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

When you tr y to disguise your emotions as logic, you may think you are being oh-so-clever, but the only person you are really fooling is yourself Ever yone else sees the game you are playing and they want no par t of the deception Resolve to face the truth In the end, you’ll be happier for it

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

You love a good prank, but you must be sure that the person you are prank ing enjoys a joke as much as you do Things can be taken the wrong way and it could cost a friendship Is a laugh wor th it if you lose a friend in the process? We don’t think so, either.

Cancer ( June 21 - July 22)

You are well versed in nuance and there is no detail too small to warrant your personal attention Historical costumes are painstak ingly correc t, ever y decoration is authentic and ever y Halloween treat you make to die for. How do you do it all and do it all so well? Share your secrets with someone who needs your special talent.

Leo ( July 23 - August 22)

When it comes to a good Halloween gag, it ’s a question of what you will or will not tolerate Some jokes are not in good taste and you must set firm boundaries between appropriate and inappropriate I t ’s great to goof around, but not if someone gets hur t in the process

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Although you are guided by an innate need for ever ything to make sense, this fall, throw logic out the window and simply tr y to have fun Do not nitpick over ever ything you would do differently and just go with the flow You may have a better time if you throw caution to the wind more often a
