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 />

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 />

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 />

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.
