A MESSAGE FROM<br />

Val Ives<br />

Love Is Blind<br />

You know, I walked into the grocery store the other day and saw that roses<br />

and romantic cards have all but taken over the entry way. I love a good romance<br />

story, and certainly, there are plenty of them to be had with Valentine’s<br />

Day happening this month. However, I want to share an old story that<br />

I’ve always liked, which deals with self-love.<br />

Once upon a time, there was a young girl who had grown increasingly shy<br />

over the years. In addition to her modest style of dress, she always wore a<br />

scarf that hung down over the left side of her face. No one gave much thought<br />

to why she started to drape herself with the thin fabric and over the years,<br />

it just became part of her style. One day, a healer came through the rural<br />

area. As soon as the girl heard about the miracles that the mysterious woman<br />

could work, she rushed down to the center of her village and fell to her knees<br />

in front of the healer, pleading for help. Just as quickly, the healer reached<br />

down to the girl’s arm and helped her back to her feet, then asked: “My dear,<br />

why do you hide your pretty face?” The girl answered, “When I was young, I<br />

fell from a tree and the wound on my face left an ugly scar.” The healer gently<br />

pulled the scarf away from the girl’s face and spoke kindly: “That was many<br />

years ago; scars are a reminder that successful healing has taken place.” Then,<br />

she held up a small mirror and the girl looked at her reflection. What she first<br />

noticed in the mirror was not the scar, but her shining eyes and pretty cheekbones.<br />

The young girl smiled as she realized that the healer had given her the<br />

freedom to appreciate her own beauty and she let the scarf slip through her<br />

fingers and fly away in the breeze.<br />

My friend, I hope that you find time to turn a mirror on yourself this month<br />

and appreciate how far you have come in life. Here’s to you and yours— may<br />

you have a great month, full of love and appreciation!<br />

P.S. If you ever need anything, you can send me a quick text or email, or give<br />

me a call. Reach me at val@valerieives.com or 951-757-6065<br />

Save at the Store<br />

You’ve got to buy food, but you don’t have to<br />

spend wildly on it. Smart shopping can save<br />

you a bundle. For instance, if you save just $20<br />

a month on groceries, you’ve banked more<br />

than $200 over the year. Here are some strategies<br />

to save on your food bill:<br />

• Plan your shopping carefully. Look through<br />

your refrigerator and pantry to see what you<br />

need on a regular basis. This lets you look for<br />

sales and buy those products in bulk.<br />

• Cut back on convenience foods. Don’t buy<br />

things like packaged salads or pre-cut celery.<br />

You’re paying big for a small convenience.<br />

• Use coupons. If you find that you buy some<br />

name- brand foods regularly, then start clipping<br />

the coupons for them. Otherwise, generic<br />

foods are comparable in quality and content,<br />

and usually less expensive.<br />

• Check out different stores. You may find<br />

as much as a 10-15% difference on identical<br />

products at different stores, depending on the<br />

neighborhood and demographic factors. Shop<br />

at the store that is the cheapest overall.<br />

Restfulness: The Secret To a Good Memory<br />

One key to success is your memory. Being able<br />

to pick up and remember the fine details of<br />

what you’ve learned can help you move forward<br />

quickly. What’s the<br />

best strategy for using your memory effectively?<br />

Sleep.<br />

As an article on the Medical News Today website<br />

explains, sleep is essential for consolidating<br />

memories. Insufficient or poor sleep makes<br />

the synapses in your brain less effective, which<br />

interferes with your ability to learn new information.<br />

Moreover, recent studies suggest that taking a<br />

quick nap, or even just resting quietly for 10<br />

minutes or so, can help new information settle<br />

into your memory so you can access it more<br />

readily later.<br />

After a training session or an important conversation,<br />

take a few minutes to sit back, close<br />

your eyes, and think of nothing. Even if you<br />

don’t fall asleep, you’ll have a better grasp of<br />

the information when you go back to work.<br />

Breakfast Idea<br />

Stick With Exercise For<br />

Better Physical and Mental<br />

Health<br />

It isn’t news that there are many benefits to regular<br />

exercise, yet this nation still faces a growing<br />

obesity problem, high levels of stress and<br />

increased incidences of depression, despite the<br />

fact that numerous studies show exercise can<br />

help combat all of this and more.<br />

While most people have a whole range of excuses<br />

for not getting regular exercise, the reality<br />

is that it actually isn’t that difficult to get an<br />

effective exercise program started and to stick<br />

with it.<br />

The key, if they currently aren’t exercising on a<br />

regular basis, is to start slowly. Almost nothing<br />

can kill that determination to exercise like trying<br />

to do too much and feeling sore, tired and<br />

discouraged the next day.<br />

The goal of regular exercise is to get at least 30<br />

minutes of activity most days of the week, but<br />

it doesn’t have to be the starting point. If someone<br />

is currently sedentary, first check with a<br />

family physician before starting an exercise<br />

program.<br />

When they do start, they should keep it simple.<br />

Maybe 15 to 20 minutes of any mild physical<br />

activity that they enjoy. It can be a brisk walk,<br />

a short bicycle ride or just walking one flight<br />

of stairs at work instead of that elevator. They<br />

should look for exercise that gets them moving<br />

and breathing just a little harder. Then they<br />

can increase the time or exertion level slowly<br />

so that they feel comfortable as they get into<br />

better shape.<br />

Another way to stick with an exercise program<br />

is to make it part of a daily routine. Put it into<br />

a phone calendar just like a business meeting<br />

or an appointment. They can make it a time<br />

each day when they spend a few minutes on<br />

themselves.<br />

It also helps to keep a journal of the exercise.<br />

Do a simple note for each day of what exercise<br />

was done, for how long and how they felt at the<br />

beginning and at the end.<br />

Odds are good that if someone is a bit stressed<br />

or anxious when they began, they’ll find they’re<br />

more relaxed and calm when they finish.<br />

Numerous studies have found that exercise is a<br />

great way to reduce stress and anxiety. And its<br />

health benefits? Combating heart disease, losing<br />

weight and helping control diabetes, just to<br />

name a few. Exercising regularly and getting<br />

more fit is one of the best things people can do<br />

for their body and mind.<br />

A FUN<br />

PERSONALITY<br />

TEST<br />

The question “What’s your<br />

spirit animal?” may sound like<br />

psychobabble, but the Ying<br />

Ying Shi blog offers a fun<br />

“animal” quiz that may uncover<br />

some creative insights<br />

about your personality and<br />

approach to life.<br />

A quick test given to youngsters<br />

asks them to fill in<br />

three simple questions:<br />

My favorite animal is...<br />

My 2nd favorite animal is...<br />

My 3rd favorite animal is...<br />

For each animal, list the<br />

characteristic that attracts<br />

you. Interpret the results<br />

like this:<br />

The first animal represents<br />

your aspirations as a person.<br />

The second is a portrait of<br />

how other people view your<br />

personality. The third animal<br />

depicts your true personality.<br />

Accurate or not, the quiz can<br />

start you thinking about who<br />

you are and who you want to<br />

become.<br />

Add Some<br />

Architectural<br />

Charm to Your<br />

Home!<br />

South Temecula has mostly newer constructed homes...but maybe you long for<br />

that ‘old house’ charm, there’s plenty you can do to add character. Crown molding,<br />

baseboards, chair rails, wainscoting and recessed panels are all great ways to<br />

inject personality. If you have a stairwell, replacing the handrails and newel post<br />

with more elegant woodwork is another way. Check salvage yards, classified ads,<br />

and online sites, from eBay to Craigslist, to snag impressive vintage pieces on<br />

the cheap. Even swapping out builder-grade light switches and outlet plates with<br />

nickel and brass-finished ones, or replacing a modern pendant with a historic<br />

reproduction fixture, will make a strong impact!

SPRUCE STREET FOOTBRIDGE<br />

Spruce Street & First Avenue, San Diego<br />

The Spruce Street Suspension bridge is fun to see and walk<br />

across. It was built in 1912. Overlooks a canyon and as you<br />

walk across the bridge. This street is also fun to walk as it is<br />

filled with historical landmark residences.


You may have a friend or relative in your life<br />

whose birthday is <strong>February</strong> 29. Maybe they<br />

fudge it and celebrate on <strong>February</strong> 28 or March<br />

1 every year, or possibly they just have a megaparty<br />

every four years. (Or they have a megaparty<br />

every year, because why not.) So imagine<br />

how frustrating it’d be to have been born in<br />

the Swedish Empire on <strong>February</strong> 30, 1712, the<br />

only day of its kind in history.<br />

Naturally, it was a pretty complex set of events<br />

that led to <strong>February</strong> 1712 getting two leap<br />

days. Our modern, Western calendar is called<br />

the Gregorian calendar, which was developed<br />

under Pope Gregory XIII. It’s basically just a<br />

series of improvements to the Julian calendar,<br />

created by Julius Caesar.<br />

While the Gregorian calendar was completed<br />

in 1582, adoption by many countries was slow,<br />

so it took over 100 years for the Swedish Empire<br />

(which was primarily Protestant and not<br />

Catholic) to adopt it. Because the Julian to<br />

Gregorian swap included a difference of ten<br />

days, many regions simply skipped their calendar<br />

ahead a week and a half. The Swedish<br />

Empire decided to roll out the difference more<br />

gradually, and intended to skip leap days for<br />

forty years, starting in 1700, until the calendar<br />

was finally correct.<br />

Except that didn’t happen because, shortly afterward,<br />

war broke out and everyone forgot<br />

about the leap days until 1712, when Sweden’s<br />

King, Charles (or Karl) XII, declared that<br />

they would forget about the Gregorian calendar<br />

and just switch back to the Julian instead.<br />

Since they did manage to skip one leap day, in<br />

1700 (which was a leap year under the Julian<br />

calendar, but not the Gregorian), they simply<br />

decided to add it back onto the calendar<br />

that <strong>February</strong>—meaning that <strong>February</strong> 1712<br />

had two leap days according to Sweden’s calendar,<br />

which gave them the only <strong>February</strong> 30<br />

in history. (Sweden finally went through with<br />

the Gregorian switch in 1753 and just skipped<br />

ahead a few days, like everyone else.)<br />

Garage Brewing Company<br />

In most garages, you can find what people<br />

drive. In Garage Brewing Company’s garage,<br />

you can find what drives them — quality craft<br />

beer.<br />

​Established in 2013, they began brewing in<br />

what was once an eight bay garage at the end<br />

of Old Town Temecula. The brewpub and taproom<br />

was aptly named Garage Brewing Co,<br />

not only due to its previous life, but to show an<br />

appreciation to where the craft beer industry<br />

originated — in the garages of brewers. They<br />

have created a family-friendly environment<br />

where their fast-fired, kustom-built pizzas and<br />

quality, Kustom craft beers provide unlimited<br />

possibilities of flavor while bringing friends<br />

and family together. In 2016, they expanded<br />

their business and now also have an off-site,<br />

full production brewery in Murrieta.<br />

​From the beginning, they set out on a mission:<br />

to provide top-quality craft beer that tastes fantastic<br />

and appeals to a broad spectrum of beer<br />

lovers. They are committed to excellence and<br />

only use the finest ingredients, state-of-the art<br />

equipment, and top-notch coding processes.<br />

​They maintain six core, year-round styles while<br />

also regularly rotating in seasonal creations for<br />

a total of 15+ beers on tap at all times. As an<br />

independent brewery, they are free to modify<br />

beer recipes and develop exciting and creative<br />

spins on standard styles.<br />

Temecula CPR Classes<br />

Looking for CPR Classes, First Aid, BLS,<br />

ACLS, and PALS Certification and Recertification<br />

Courses in or around Temecula, California?<br />

You’re probably wondering why would<br />

you ever need to take a CPR class? Whether<br />

you’re in the medical field, who may need an<br />

AHA certification to work in the hospital,<br />

clinic, or other healthcare setting; you’re a personal<br />

trainer requiring an AHA certification to<br />

help physically transform your clients; you’re a<br />

lifeguard who might need to resuscitate someone<br />

who drowns in the swimming pool; parent<br />

who finds their child or infant unresponsive;<br />

you’re involved in an unfortunate motor vehicle<br />

accident and need to assist a person who<br />

is not breathing and/or do not have a pulse;<br />

you’re a Good Samaritan who just happens to<br />

be in a scene where a person has passed out;<br />

or you’re an individual who has no medical<br />

training or education whatsoever and want to<br />

help an individual you care about, you should<br />

know that every year there are approximately<br />

383,000 out of hospital cardiac pulmonary arrest.<br />

That’s more than 1,000 a day! This fact<br />

alone is enough for anyone to understand that<br />

taking a CPR class is indispensable and desirable<br />

in any medical emergency that may or<br />

may not happen at all. However, with at least<br />

1,000 people per day having a cardiac pulmonary<br />

arrest, there’s a small chance that your<br />

CPR training can make a significant difference.

This is a wild, free-flowing comedy and joining it are two unpredictable<br />

madcaps, Hawkeye and Duke, the best chest<br />

surgeons in South Korea. They wage a campaign to get<br />

a young Korean to the United States and in a good school.<br />

It’s all here, a pileup of comic adventures, a little romance<br />

mixed in with dramatic moments and a genuine love of life.<br />

Choose your planting site carefully.<br />

Strawberries are picky about where<br />

they set down roots. Plant in a location<br />

that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day.<br />

To reduce the chance of Verticillium wilt<br />

and soil borne pests, avoid areas where<br />

tomatoes, peppers, eggplants or potatoes<br />

have grown in the past three to four<br />

years.<br />

Banish weeds. Weeds compete with<br />

shallow-rooted strawberry plants for<br />

water and nutrients and often harbor insects<br />

and disease.<br />

Pay attention to soil preparation. Strawberries<br />

require a soil on the acidic side<br />

with a pH between 5.5 and 6.8. Because<br />

enthusiasts and spectators year in and year out. Over<br />

600 cars, including classics, special interest vehicles, hot<br />

rods and custom cars will be on display. The Cruising starts<br />

This is the day where you can get a close look at these<br />

classic vehicles and take a peek under the hoods. The<br />

City of Temecula locks down Old Town from Arch to Arch<br />

on Saturday from 9:00am till 4:00pm and during this time,<br />

these classic beauties are parked waiting for you to get<br />

an up-close and personal look at them. The vehicles are<br />

just waiting around calling out to you to come see some of<br />

the finest street rods on the West Coast. Be sure to bring<br />

all of your friends and family for a great time to remember.<br />

Do not miss the family fun!<br />

our soil tends to be alkaline, you may<br />

need to amend with soil sulfur. Also important<br />

is good drainage, as strawberries<br />

quickly rot in soggy soil.<br />

Mulch. Providing a protective barrier between<br />

the soil and your berries keeps<br />

the fruit clean and dry and prevents pest<br />

and disease infestations. Water well.<br />

Keep the soil moist but not soggy.<br />

DIRECTIONS:<br />

Preheat oven to 450 degrees<br />

Arrange the halibut, scallops, and<br />

shrimp in an oven-safe, glass baking<br />

dish. Drizzle with wine, butter, and<br />

lemon juice. Sprinkle with the seasoning<br />

and garlic. Season to taste with salt and<br />

pepper.<br />

Bake in preheated oven until the halibut<br />

has turned white, and is flaky, 10 to 12<br />

minutes. Sprinkle with parsley just before<br />

serving.
