A Beautiful Arizona Spring “April hath put a spirit of youth in everything,” – William Shakespeare Perfect spring weather invites me out to stretch my legs and breathe in the warmth of the desert air. Everything appears to be new and ready after lying dormant. Gardeners are full of hope for early planting, children are excited for summer is just in sight, and motorcycle enthusiasts are polishing their chrome and dusting off their maps. Sonoran Spotlight Magazine, like early spring flowers, is ready to awake again and stretch out her beautiful blossoms. It is with great pride and joy that I am again writing as the Editor for Sonoran Spotlight Magazine. I hope you will enjoy this issue; our Fashion section is full of colorful spring dresses that are perfect for warm southern days, and speaking of motorcycles, Arizona will be celebrating Bike Week this month and we have an inside scoop with Channel 3’s Scott Pasmore. We also have some wonderful insight on Business Savvy which is much sought after in today's economy, and our Home Décor is just in step with the colors of spring. And check out the Anasazi Inn in Santa Fe NM, a great get­a­way for the entire family. I wish each and everyone a wonderful spring and hope you all get to step out, stretch your legs and take in the wonderful world around us that is wrapped in spring. Smiles and blossoms,

“she loves me, but she is not in­love with me”

Heart to Heart with Dr. Lisa Question: My wife says that she loves me, but she is not “in­love” with me. She moved out last week and says she wants a divorce. I have been blind­sided by this. I thought we had a good marriage. She never told me she was unhappy with me or with our marriage. I just don’t understand. Can you help me make sense of what is going on? Is there anything I can do to get her to give our marriage another chance? Answer: Unfortunately, your wife has probably stayed silent about whatever it is that has been bothering her. Usu­ally when someone says that they love their partner but are no longer “in love” with them, it means that they don’t feel connected emotionally to their partner like they once did. Something has damaged that connection. There are so many things that can damage the connection between partners. It is inevitable, even in the best of part­nerships, that we do things that damage our connection. The key to staying “in love” with your partner is to repair the damage as soon as possible, instead of letting multiple offenses accumulate over time. Our emotional connection with our partner is damaged any time we feel that they have not been there for us in the way that we trusted they would be. When this happens, we have two choices: either 1) hold in our upset and turn away emotionally from our partner, or 2) turn to our partner and let them know how they have upset us and what we need from them in order to feel close to them again. People usually turn away from their partners either due to fear of their partner’s response or to protect themselves emotionally. The extent to which it feels too risky to be vulnerable with our partners, we harden our hearts toward them to keep them at an emotional distance. That way, they can not hurt us. It is much less frightening to be angry or to feel contempt for our partner, than to allow them to see how they have hurt us. For, if we allowed them to see how vulnerable we are to being hurt by them, there is the possibility that they could then use this knowledge to hurt us more. That would be too much to bear. The more we consistently turn away from our partner, the further away we feel emotionally. Over time, this can lead to an emotional numbing which translates into feeling that you are no longer “in love with” your partner. It is only in taking the risk of allowing your partner to know how you have felt let down or hurt by them, that you give them the opportunity to be there for you and heal that hurt. The safer that partners feel with each other (the more that they trust that the other will be there for them) the less likely they are to take personally the inevitable blunders they each will make. It is also easier to repair any damage to the connection that does occur. Unfortunately, your wife has probably been letting resentment build up for a long time. In order to repair the relation­ship, you will both have to be willing to examine where the disconnect occurred, and give each other a chance to re­build that trust. Most likely, you will need the help of a counselor (preferably an EFT therapist—see the article on Susan Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy). Whether or not you and your wife can rebuild your relationship will depend on the extent to which she has already cut off from you emotionally. If you are both willing to give each other a chance to rebuild the trust between you, there is still a chance for the relationship to turn around. If you still want to try to work things out with your wife, be patient with her and do your best to try to understand what has led her to distance herself emotionally from you. In order for the two of you to reconnect, you will both have to be willing to vulnerable with one another. Remaining in an emotional stance of defensiveness, criticism, contempt, or emotionally stonewalling will only distance you further from each other. Keep in mind, your wife may not be willing to take that risk. She may feel like she has already done everything she can, and that she no longer wants to work on the relationship. Even if she feels this way, you will still benefit by try­ing to genuinely understand what happened to lead her to this point. At the very least, you can end the marriage ami­cably. You may even find that your willingness to listen and try to understand where she is coming from, will help her feel closer to you. It could be the beginning of rebuilding her trust that you can and will be there for her in the way she needs you to be. Please realize that I do not know all the details of your relationship, so it is difficult for me to respond in other than very general terms. Be careful not to be too hard on yourself or on your wife. Instead of looking for where to lay blame, seek for understanding in order to make sense of what has happened. Then do your best to make peace with whatever outcome unfolds and move forward with your life. Dr. Lisa Gold is a marriage and family therapist in private practice in East Mesa.

Survival of the fittest?...Or Survival of those most willing to adapt to change?

As a community and a nation, no one could possibly deny that the last two years have seen some incredible changes to every segment of our lives. Most of those changes are a direct result of changes in our business lives and business world. Recent headlines are riddled with stories of large conglomerate businesses that are in trouble or who have chosen to close their doors but rarely are we informed of stories regarding smaller businesses. Although we see once thriving retail spaces and business offices now sitting vacant, we don’t hear their stories, but we can guess what has happened. What we need to hear and need to recognize are the SURVIVORS! Those small busi‐nesses that are still open and persevering, those are the stories that should be told and CELEBRATED!

So what does it take to survive? The survivors I have encountered are those most willing and able to ex‐

pand the scope of their original vision and look beyond the business model they once had and who challenge their own perspectives and try to conquer the unknown. One such hero who has demonstrated a true survivor’s nature is Lisa Askey, Founder of Chicky Bella Boutique.

Lisa Askey is an entrepreneur in the truest sense. Her very first business idea came as a result of a need she

had (necessity is the mother of invention!). In the wee hours one morning not long after her first child was born, Lisa found herself in desperate need of breast pump equipment and, with any luck, a lactation consultant to help her. The hospital facility where she delivered her child was not able to provide Lisa with the equipment or resources she needed. To her dismay, there were no resources to accommodate the need she had and absolutely no resources to help her. After desperate hours of calling one hospital after another, it was the kindness of one hospital facility that provided her the resource she needed, even though it was not readily available. Shortly thereafter, Lisa, being the fast thinking entrepreneur, started a business to help new mothers at any time, day or night, by providing an on call service of equipment rental and consultant assistance.

In a short period of time, she launched her “Babies Best” business by providing on‐call services and equip‐

ment rental. She launched a very successful web‐site for sales and then began providing equipment and accessories to baby boutiques. In 2006 Lisa contacted a local well established baby boutique to see if she could sublet some floor space and showcase her offerings. The day she was scheduled to meet a boutique owner, Lisa pulled up in front of their store to find they were going out of business! Being one to think on her feet and react quickly to op‐portunities, Lisa walked in and less than 20 minutes later had bought out the entire store including product and fix‐tures…as Lisa put it “The fastest business decision I had ever made!” Her intentions were to take over the space the previous boutique had occupied. However the landlord wanted Lisa to assume the financial responsibility of back rent from the previous tenant and after attempted negotiations with the landlord proved unsuccessful, Lisa moved all of the inventory and everything out of the retail location and put it in her house!

The next few weeks Lisa spent her time preparing a business plan and submitting it to various landlords.

Her tenacity paid off and they found a home at a local Gilbert shopping area. Although they were promised a short build out time, it took 6 months to build out their space! Perseverance and positive attitude paid off and finally their new space was ready. However, between the time that they purchased the inventory and started the build out of the new location, their primary supplier of breast pump equipment canceled their contract, which unfortunately was right when they were to open their store. Can you imagine just days before you are to open the doors of your new location, your primary product supplier cancels your contract! This national distributor for breast pumps, under pressure from some big players in the baby supplies market, discontinued their supply lines to small businesses and cut out the smaller boutiques, leaving “Babies Best” on its own without a supplier. In one fateful moment, the larg‐est part of Lisa’s business was gone. In preparing for the opening, Lisa had done extensive marketing about their business of renting and selling breast pumps and accessories. The cancellation from the supplier presented another challenge at the last minute! Without missing a beat, Chicky Bella Boutique opened 3 days after the contract was cancelled. To move forward, they focused their customer’s attention on other product lines like Petunia Pickle Bot‐tom diaper bags, baby furniture, and custom baby bedding, and of course tons of accessories. Having an established retail location in a nice retail plaza, Lisa expanded on the product lines she carried in her store and became a bou‐tique for moms and babies. Her unique approach to retail branding and her vibrant personality helped build a very strong following for her store and herself.

Business Savvy By Laura Shepherd

8 BUSINESS SAVVY

However, in 2008 the business world changed for all of us. Retail outlets were quickly disappearing from sight and we began to see vacancies in record numbers. This was no different for Lisa’s retail location. Over the course of 6 months, one by one, the other retail stores in Lisa’s plaza closed down and went out of business. Chicky Bella was the last store standing in an otherwise vacant plaza. Not wanting to break her lease and risk further loss, Lisa attempted to work with the landlord to come up with solutions. Unfortunately, there was nothing to be done. She closed up her store and moved her inventory into a storage facility. Coincidentally, as she was closing her store, the owners of a different local plaza approached Lisa about moving her business into their location which had more occupancy and greater opportunity for success. Unfortunately, the location and position of the space available in this new plaza was not exactly what Lisa thought would work for her boutique.

This is where the survival of the fittest comes into play! Instead of getting into a retail location that was not

ideal, Lisa approached the plaza owners with a whole new idea! The landlords also owned a storage facility, which in my opinion is the “Four Seasons” of storage facilities…it is clean, climate controlled and secure. Instead of renting a traditional retail space, Lisa proposed placing her inventory in their storage facility and opening it once a month for a “trunk show”. Lisa changed the big store format to better accommodate the smaller space she now had. She fo‐cused the Trunk shows on women’s and children’s wear, but mostly women’s wear and accessories. Even in this re‐cession, consumers continue to shop and are always looking for a great price. That is what the Chicky Bellas’ Trunk Show offers its customers – a unique and intimate shopping experience while remaining very stylish and very afford‐able!

Now, for a fraction of the cost of rent, Lisa has a trunk show every month out of the storage facility. Her expenses are significantly reduced thereby affording Lisa the opportunity to continue a successful business without the strain of a tremendous overhead to carry. She has maintained a steady and growing customer following, created a business model in a smaller scale and, no doubt when the economy rebounds, the suppliers and buyers will be ready for Lisa’s next great idea!

This is an amazing story of survival and success. This may not be the original plan, but it is the survival mode

and survival mentality that will make Lisa and Chicky Bella Boutique a success story for a long time to come!

Blonde in 2010 If you want to be a blonde, then in 2010 the way to go is to use an overlaying multi

mix of shades within a tonal family, rather than a flat shallow blonde. A full head of blonde hair looks great, but use multi toned highlights to give it the modern 2010 hair­style look. Roots need not be a problem, as with Alice Hair Bands still fashionable, when the roots start to show, they can be hidden beneath an Alice Hair Band, giving you some extra time before a touch up. Golden and ash blondes look great, remember to find compli­mentary make up shades and color mainte­nance products to keep it in tip top condition. Gwneth Paltrow is a good example of how blonde hair in 2010 can look!

Arizonans are lucky for many reasons; great weather, beautiful scenery and extraordinary passageways and places to travel on a motorcycle! KTVK – Channel 3’s morning Anchorman, Scott Pasmore, is an avid biker and loves explor­ing Arizona on his Harley Davidson Road Glide. With Arizona Bike Week just around the corner, I talked with Scott about his passion for riding. Scott has been riding motorcycles since he was six years old! He grew up on a farm in Kansas were his father was supportive in his love for riding bikes. Scott had a mini bike through grade school and then got his first “real motorcycle”, a Suzuki 90 in the sixth grade. His feet didn’t touch the ground but in his words he finally had a “real” bike! In recent years, Scott has expanded his passion for the thrill of adrena­line to include racing and flying! Although he no longer races at Manzanita, he is still flying and currently working on his instrument certification! Scott has been in the news business for more than 13 years and even though we see him on TV every day he sees himself as just a regular guy who happens to do his job in front of a camera.

SCOTT PASMORE – A Biker Dude Like No Other! By Laura Shepherd

These days, Scott rides his Harley Road Glide, and as any true biker can relate to, continues to accessorize with all of the latest and greatest gadgets. When it comes to decking out your ride, motor­cycle accessories are like women’s accessories, there is no such thing as too much. Scott has had the opportunity to have several bikes, admittedly his favor­

ite was his Paul Yaffe Custom bike, which he helped to design and create! He is currently working with Paul Yaffe to customize his Road Glide and has plans to continue to accessorize and customize by installing “ape handle bars” and adding more chrome and stretch tanks, an air kit and doing more engine work. Touring Arizona is something Scott loves to do, whether it is a ride across town to one of his favorite hang­outs with friends or a leisurely ride through Wickenburg, up Yarnell Hill and into Prescott, he really enjoys seeing all that Arizona has to offer. Scott also enjoys riding to Flagstaff and then down 89A into Sedona. He doesn’t miss the humidity or the bugs that he experienced in the mid­west. Bugs can be a biker’s worst nightmare! Scott has had the unfortunate experience of riding into a swarm of bees and one getting stuck in his shirt! Imagine trying to control your bike and safely pull off the road while having a bee stinging you in the stomach…OUCH! As much as Scott enjoys riding around Arizona, he prefers the day trips to the longer hauls. Anyone who has spent a long day on a ride can relate. There are two kinds of riders…those who can ride long distances comfortable (aka – hard core bikers), and those who prefer shorter rides (aka light weights). A few years ago Scott joined a group of friends in touring to the four corners area, his longest ride to date, “…that was a bit too long!” He takes some grief from some of his hard core biker friends, but he still smiles and enjoys his ride.

Sonoran Spotlight Magazine

Scott has had a lot of experiences and has seen many things out on his rides, but one of the most memorable and amazing things that he experienced happened right in Phoenix on Ray Road! He said it happened one night while he and a passenger were taking a short ride to get an ice cream when a javalina ran out into the street and into his bike! Fortunately, with skill, effort and luck, they didn’t go down on the bike but the javalina did dent his gear shift and ripped Scott’s shoe. In addition to Arizona Bike Week events this month, Scott has been to several bike rallies, including a Laughlin River Run a couple of years ago. After doing a live shot for the show, he stayed an enjoyed the event. To Scott this was the best of both worlds…getting to cover a motorcycle rally as part of your job! Scott’s future goal is to attend a Sturgis rally, although he admits he would probably have to trailer his bike most of the way and ride in at the last hour so it would look like he’d been on the bike for days! Sturgis, Daytona and also the Pacific Coast Highway are all future goals that Scott would like to experience on a motorcycle. Arizona Bike Week is something that Scott looks forward to each year and just like his Laughlin assignment, he again has the opportunity to do a live spot from Buddy Stubbs in North Phoenix and then a Riding for Kids Charity Run that leaves from Buddy Stubbs right after the show. They will ride up through Camp Verde, through Strawberry, and down through Payson. For more information about this benefit ride, which is the kick off ride for Arizona Bike Week, you can go online to

www.azbikeweek.com. There are several events during bike week that Scott likes to attend, but like the rest of us, there just are not enough hours in the day to do them all!

Battling Fatigue Some days you're so low on energy that you're drowsy by lunchtime and in need of a nap by mid­afternoon. What's making you so tired all the time? Stress, poor eating habits, overwork, even medical treatments can wear you down. Most of the time, fatigue can be traced to one or more of your habits or routines. You have the power to put the vitality back in your life. To beat fatigue, try these tips: Reduce stress Take some of the pressure out of your day. Learn to say no. Set priorities. Then organize your activities so that you avoid confusion. Pace yourself. Put aside time each day to do something you enjoy. Take a midday stroll around the block, or get up 15 minutes earlier to give yourself more time to start your day. Manage workplace tension On­the­job aggravation can add to work­related fatigue. Sit down and try to resolve conflicts with co­workers. Be­come better acquainted with your boss and clarify what he or she needs from you. Be realistic about your limitations. Take time out to get up from your desk and stretch for a few moments several times a day. Be active Try to include at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity in your day. Don't worry about doing a full workout all at once — start with 10 minutes of activity at a time. Whether you walk, garden or swim, once you get moving, you'll likely notice you have more stamina. While 30 minutes is the minimum recommendation, you may need up to an hour of moderate activity daily to maintain fitness and a healthy weight. Eat well Start your day with a low­fat, high­fiber breakfast that includes plenty of complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and fruits for lasting energy. Stay away from sugary cereals and juices and caffeinated drinks. They can make you feel sluggish later in the day. Don't skip meals; refuel every three or four hours. Very low calorie diets are guaranteed to increase fatigue. Avoid alcohol Alcohol depresses your central nervous system and acts as a sedative, making you tired for hours after consuming no more than only a drink or two. It may also disrupt your sleep, if you drink just before bed. Practice good sleep habits Avoid eating, reading or watching TV in bed. Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet. And set your alarm for the same time each day — the routine can help you establish a regular sleep schedule. Naps are OK, but keep them short and early in the day. Schedule workouts at least six hours before bedtime. Small snacks may help you drift off, but large late­night meals can keep you up. If you can't sleep, don't toss and turn, go into another part of the house and read or relax until you feel drowsy. Once you face your fatigue head­on, you'll find that making small lifestyle changes or treating an underlying medical condition will go a long way toward giving you back your get­up­and­go.

Pamper Your Skin at the Spa

By Anna Lynn C. Sibal

Smooth, clear and flawless skin is an indication of good health, not just of beauty. Whatever lifestyle

choices we make, or whatever forms of abuse we make our bodies go through, such as drinking, bingeing and

smoking, getting stressed out lots of times, or lack of exercise and sleep, show easily enough on our skin. It

is easy to tell if a person is not of good health: she always looks wan and sallow, her skin dry and flaking,

and most likely sporting dark circles under the eyes. A person who is at the peak of health has smooth and

soft skin that is alit with a rosy glow.

Many women go to day spas to pamper their skin and make them look nice and healthy. Spas have special treat-

ments that can rejuvenate the skin, take the toxins out of the body, and make the skin look younger and look-

ing fresh.

If you go to a spa to get your skin pampered, what treatments should you go for and what should you expect?

Listed below are basic treatments you can find in a spa:

Facials. A facial is a way of deep

cleansing the skin, removing the dirt, the impurities and the

blackheads from the face. After a facial the skin of your face should feel clean, soft and hydrated.

Facial mask. The idea of the facial mask is to make your skin feel tighter, smoother and hydrated. It

is also supposed to exfoliate your skin and remove the dirt and dead skin cells from it, as well as to

treat acne. Facial masks are done by putting some substance evenly on your skin and letting it dry on

the skin before washing it off. Facial masks are typically made of algae, seaweed and mud, but it can

also be made of other materials.

Body scrub. A body scrub exfoliates and removes the dead skin cells from the body using different

types of oils and salts. This hydrates and makes the skin of the body soft and smooth.

Body mask. Body masks are also used for exfoliating and for removing dead skin cells from the body. It

works exactly the same way as the facial mask.

Body wrap. In a body wrap treatment, certain creams, liquids or a special mud is applied to the body.

The body is then wrapped tightly and allowed to stay so for a period of time. A body wrap treatment is

supposed to detoxicate the body, or maybe help the body shed off a few pounds.

Day spas also offer different kinds of massages to relax the body, to relieve it from stress and detoxicate

it. Having healthy, glowing skin, after all, is an inside job. If you are feeling pain or stressed out, it is

best to relieve these aches and pains through massage so the skin would look healthy and beautiful. Visit a

day spa and pamper your skin every once in a while. It will do your skin and your health a world of good.

Golf Tip of the Month

41 GOLF TIP

DRIVES BEST TIP: Keep a relaxed grip and swing with the force of a seven­iron. Think smooth takeaway, full extension, long, slow, sweeping swing and smooth acceleration on down­swing. Start with 60% of weight on right foot. Keep body relaxed and grip soft. During swing, think only of following through and finishing the swing down the target line. For accuracy, pretend you are throwing a basketball down the fairway underhand with our right arm. Hit with the same tempo you use for a seven iron. You should feel as though you are throwing the driver straight (not far or hard) down the fairway. Make sure your left hip never passes your left foot on the downswing.

Although many countries boast their appreciation for good food and a pleasing dining experience, the Japa­nese culture really has a hold on the market. To test this theory, just try a dining experience at SAKANA SUSHI AND GRILL in Mesa, Arizona. Sakana is nestled in a very unassuming plaza on the northeast corner of Power and Baseline. Whether you are a first time guest or a frequent diner, when you walk in the front door you are greeted with so much warmth and boisterous hello’s that you feel like you’ve just come home for Christmas. SAKANA is a fantastic restaurant on all counts. The staff is friendly, efficient and always courteous and polite. They are all very knowledgeable about the menu options and are fantastic about offering sugges­tions to tempt you to try something new! If you don’t see a personal favorite on the menu, they really try to accommodate special requests. It's a small place, and seating can be hard to come by on busy nights, but it is always worth the wait. There are many menu options for those who don’t favor sushi, but we have never gotten past the sushi menu! Their offerings are flavorful, inventive and although the traditional items are available, their specials are just unreal! If you like a spicier dish, the Salmon Bomber is one of the best rolls I’ve ever had…and I’ve had sushi all over the country! It is so fresh you would swear they had their own private ocean behind the restaurant. The portions are generous and priced well. When you sadly leave, knowing that today’s sushi experience has just come to an end, the sushi chef’s holler “See you tomorrow!” which always makes us smile…and makes us wish we could go back again tomorrow!
