Love Makes the 

World Go ‘Round 

February in Delray Beach is full of ways to show your 

sweetheart love. Besides all the wonderful places you can 

visit with your sweetie, there is also “love” as in tennis! 

The Delray Beach Open kicks off February 10 and lasts 

9 wonderful days bringing in some of the best tennis 

players in the world! 

Love on a budget? We can help! Our Delray Under $50 regular 

feature suggests ways to woo your date without breaking the 

bank. Love live music? We got you covered! The Arts Garage and 

Old School Square have amazing concerts and shows scheduled – 

something for everyone! 

Like al fresco dining? Well, you’re in luck! There are 10 

restaurants offering a 4-course dinner while competing for the best 

table décor, right down the middle of Atlantic Avenue! The 14th 

Annual Savor the Avenue is happening March 27, but tickets go on 

sale February 1, and they go FAST! 

We also celebrate Black History this month – our incredible city 

has lots to celebrate! The Spady Museum is a cultural center always 

open with amazing exhibits and programs highlighting the culture 

of Delray. 

More information on all of the above can be found inside – Locals 

Only, Happenings, Gotta Know, and throughout the issue. Our All 

America City is full of things to do, see, and indulge in with your 

favorite person. 

Our City Person this month is the fabulous Deborah Dowd. 

Deborah is a retired schoolteacher that takes volunteering to a 

whole new level! Some of the boards she serves are Old School 

Square, The Achievement Centers, and Impact 100 PBC – but that’s 

just the tip of the iceberg! She’s also served on city zoning and site 

planning boards, task teams, and the CRA. After reading about 

Deborah, you might need a nap! 

February is a great time to stroll down the Ave or visit the Grove 

– have a snack or meal outside and enjoy our beautiful city in 

perfect weather. 

Love 

is the 

whole 

thing. 

We are 

only 

pieces.

I 

am thrilled to be featured in this month’s Atlantic Ave 

Magazine’s Spotlight. My name is Jerilyn Walter and I 

am the Founder/Broker of Posh Properties in Delray 

Beach and Ocean Ridge. With little more than $900 in my 

pocket, I had a dream of a local centric, community minded 

brokerage that focused on cultivating a reputation of top 

notch agents that know the territory. I am a graduate of the 

Realtor’s Association’s Leadership Academy, and a member 

of 4 Realtor’s Boards. From Jupiter to Miami we have made 

that dream come true with experienced professional agents 

that work for the customer not the commission. 

While my background is very diversified compared to 

most brokers, from Playboy Bunny to California Court 

appointed Receiver, and now Successful Broker, I have used 

my experience to create an inspiring work environment 

and I lead by example. Nothing is more rewarding than to 

know Posh Properties is where agents want to work and 

customers want to come when buying, selling or investing 

in real estate. 

I hope you will stop by and give Posh Properties the chance 

to show you what a difference it makes when working with 

our brokerage.

Delray Under $50 

Most Fun Small Town, Most Crazy Small Town, Most Small Town that Feels 

Like a Big Town. Delray has it all. With a bustling downtown, Pineapple 

Grove area, and little nooks and crannies in between, there’s more 

to do in Delray now than ever, with events and happenings 

spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can 

seem expensive at times, there’s a great 

opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer 

without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can 

do in Delray Beach in February for $50 or less. 

February is Black History Month, and Delray Beach is 

planning an exciting lineup of events to commemorate 

the contributions of African Americans within 

our city, across our nation, and throughout our history - 

and everyone is invited! Not only is this a great opportunity 

to celebrate each other and our neighbors, it’s also a 

great opportunity to learn about the many ways a diverse 

community makes a great community. Start the monthlong 

celebrations with a Black Elegance Fashion Show 

that will highlight the African American style and culture. 

This event is held at THRōW Social on Wednesday, February 

1 from 6 to 8 pm and tickets are $35. Next up is 

a Black History Academic Brain Bowl where elementary, 

middle, and high school students from across Palm Beach 

County will compete for prizes in this Jeopardy-style 

competition. This is held Saturday, February 11 from 9 am to 12 

pm at the Field House at Old School Square. The fun continues with 

the Second Annual Black History Youth Awareness Arts Fest. Hosted 

outdoors at the Spady Museum, this community project aims 

to engage Palm Beach County youth and community organizations 

through art, music and black history. This free event is held Sunday, 

February 17 from 4 to 9 pm What a lineup! Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com 

or call (561) 243-1077 for complete event details. 


Well, we’re officially into the swing of things, folks! While 

it might just be February, before we know it it’ll be summer, 

then Thanksgiving, then New Year’s Eve, so the time 

is now to start practicing smelling those roses. February is National 

Time Management Month and if you need a little bit of relaxing, or 

a little bit of dancing, then head to Old School Square for their Free 

Concerts series. February’s show features Crossfire Creek Band, 

which is a five-piece New Country/Top 40 Country band based out 

of Tampa/Clearwater that is bursting onto the country music scene 

with its unique flare and one-of-a-kind performances. Their highenergy 

show features true-to-the-original cover versions of today’s 

New Country from Luke Combs, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Kane

With practice comes perfect, right? Hopefully for these 

professional tennis players, yes! February is International 

Expect Success Month and not only can you expect 

success for a handful of amazing tennis players, you can also 

expect to have a successful and fun outing. The Delray Beach Tennis 

Center is once again hosting the Delray Beach Open, which is 

the world’s only ATP Champions Tour and ATP 250 event featuring 

legends and top ranked ATP stars. You can expect to see every-

one from Bob and Mike Bryan, Ivo Karlovic and Sam Querrey, 

to Taylor Fritz, John Isner and Tommy Paul. The entire event 

lasts from Friday, February 10 to Sunday, February 19, with 

daytime and nighttime matches and events varying by the 

day. Not only are the matches fun to watch, there’s also merchant 

tents, food and drink vendors, special highlights, and 

more. It’s one of the best events to come to the Tennis Center 

so make sure to mark your calendars and enjoy a successful 

day and/or night out! The Delray Beach Tennis Center is 

located at 201 W. Atlantic Ave. and single day tickets start at 

$42. Visit www.yellowtennisball.com or call (561) 330-6000 

for more information and to purchase tickets. 

It’s either one of your favorite holidays or you skip right 

over it on the calendar. Either way, there’s a reason to 

celebrate because you can enjoy a party of deux (kisses 

and candy) or a party of one (hey self, what do you want 

to do? I agree!). If you feel like going out, you might as well 

take advantage of some of the best locations Delray has to 

offer. For some waterfront vibes, head to Deck 84 where you 

can indulge in not only a menu to fit every palate, but also 

one of the best al fresco bars that can pour any cocktail to 

perfection. If you’d like something more intimate and cozier, 

head to J&J Seafood Bar and Grill where you can toast to finding 

your best fish in the sea with a menu that features all 

the plenty of fish in the sea. If you’re picturing something 

a bit more unique where you want to close the place down, 

head to Dada. Their food and drink menu do not disappoint, 

and their outdoor environment is one of the best in town. If 

you prefer to get cozy on the sofa, head out for a margarita 

and to-go tacos at El Camino because, well, as the song goes, 

“tequila makes (her) clothes come off.” Zinger! Whatever 

you do, do it with love. For restaurant locations, visit www. 

downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243-1077. 

Now this is a holiday that is speakin’ my language. Red, 

white, rosé or champagne, it’s always wine30. As if we 

needed another reason to enjoy a toast - and thank you 

for the invitation! - National Drink Wine Day is Saturday, February 

18 so we should all take note and celebrate. Honestly, 

it’d be rude not to. You can start and finish your into-the-gullet 

gauntlet at The Wine Room where you can essentially sip your 

way into wine heaven, and at your own pace. They have more 

wine bottles than you can shake a grape vine at (200+ to be accurate), 

and the beauty of the place is that you can swipe your 

card, select your pour, and sip till your heart’s content. If you’d 

like to enjoy some delicious fare while you indulge, do like the 

Romans and head to Elisabetta’s Ristorante. Not only is their 

Italian-focused menu perfect for a night out, but their Italian 

focused wine menu features more options than the average 

merlot and cab sauv. It’s truly confusing and libation liberating 

at the same time. If being social and out about about doesn’t 

speak your language, here’s a little secret: Bedner’s Farm Fresh 

Market has some of the best wine deals in town. Grab a bottle 

(or six, they always have BOGO deals), maybe some snacks, and 

head to the beach or Veterans Park for some Intracoastal boat 

watching action. Wait, did Mr. Wine create his own holiday to 

honor the nectar of the Gods? Actually, yeah, that sounds about 

right. Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243- 

1077 for specific location information.

entertainment | GOTTa knOW 

by tom craig 

With this new year only ten days old, 

music fans were shocked by the sudden 

and unexpected passing of guitar 

legend Jeff Beck. Jeff has been called “the 

greatest living rock guitarist.” Beck’s influence 

on guitar playing cannot be overstated. He 

was the guitarist’s guitarist from his start with 

the Yardbirds to the Jeff Beck Group, Beck Bogart 

and Appice, then to his solo career. Beck’s 

style was inventive, constantly changing, and 

Just A Song Before I Go 

defying categorization. He made a new category. 

Jeff was inducted into the Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame twice. First in 1992 as a member 

of the Yardbirds, then again in 2009 as a 

solo artist. Jeff, we thank you for all you gave 

us, and know that the band upstairs just got 

turned up a notch or ten. 

While fans were still coming to grips with 

Beck’s untimely passing, eight days later, 

word came that David Crosby had also left 

this world. Gut punch number two in a week’s 

time. David began his career as a founding 

member of the Byrds folk-rock group. The 

group’s unique covers of Bob Dylan and Pete 

Seeger, along with their psychedelic songs like 

Eight Miles High, would rocket them to the top 

of the charts. In 1967 David was fired from 

the Byrds and would find his way to Coconut 

Grove, where he discovered Joni Mitchell 

playing at the Gaslight South. After taking Joni 

back to California to get a record deal a year 

later, an impromptu jam would bring Crosby, 

Stills, and Nash together for the first time. 

They would harmonize on Stephen Stills’s 

song “You Don’t Have To Cry,” and the rest, as 

they say, is history. The soundtrack of a generation 

was born. David’s vocals, harmonies, 

songwriting, and sheer joy of playing music 

have few equals. David, I know the angels have 

welcomed your voice with open arms, and 

you will soar with your fellow musicians who 

awaited your arrival. Thank you for your harmony 

and your words and telling us to stand 

up and speak our minds. 

As this year continues, we can only hope 

to keep more of these artists and poets than 

we lose. Though we do not have any say in the 

matter, what we do have are the songs, the stories, 

and the memories they have left with all 

of us. The music lives on!

The Audrey Hepburn 

Estate: A Novel 

by Brenda JanOWITZ 

When Emma Jansen discovers that the 

grand Long Island estate where she 

grew up is set to be demolished, she can’t 

help but return for one last visit. After all, 

it was a place filled with firsts: learning to 

ride a bike, sneaking a glass of champagne, 

falling in love. 

But once Emma arrives at the storied 

mansion, she can’t ignore the more complicated 

memories. Because that’s not exactly 

where Emma grew up. Her mother and father 

worked for the family that owned the 

estate, and they lived over the garage like 

Audrey Hepburn’s character in the film 

Sabrina. Emma never felt fully accepted, 

except by the family’s grandson, Henry— 

a former love—and by the driver’s son, 

Leo—her best friend. 

As plans for the property are put into motion 

and the three are together for the first 

time in over a decade, Emma finds herself 

caught between two worlds and two loves. 

And when the house reveals a shattering 

secret about her own family, she’ll have to 

decide what kind of life she really wants for 

herself now and who she wants to be in it. 

The Family Chao 

by Lan Samantha Chang 

One of Literary Hub’s and The Millions’ 

Most Anticipated Books of 2022 

A Goodreads Readers’ Most Anticipated 

Mystery of 2022 

An acclaimed storyteller returns with “a 

gorgeous and gripping literary mystery” 

that explores “family, betrayal, passion, 

race, culture and the American Dream” 

(Jean Kwok). 

The residents of Haven, Wisconsin, have 

dined on the Fine Chao restaurant’s delicious 

Americanized Chinese food for thirtyfive 

years, content to ignore any unsavory 

whispers about the family owners. Whether 

or not Big Leo Chao is honest, or his wife, 

Winnie, is happy, their food tastes good and 

their three sons earned scholarships to respectable 

colleges. But when the brothers 

reunite in Haven, the Chao family’s secrets 

and simmering resentments erupt at last. 

Before long, brash, charismatic, and 

tyrannical patriarch Leo is found dead— 

presumed murdered—and his sons find 

they’ve drawn the exacting gaze of the entire 

town. The ensuing trial brings to light 

potential motives for all three brothers: 

Dagou, the restaurant’s reckless head chef; 

Ming, financially successful but personally 

tortured; and the youngest, gentle but lost 

college student James. As the spotlight on 

the brothers tightens—and the family dog 

meets an unexpected fate—Dagou, Ming, 

and James must reckon with the legacy of

American family grappling with the 

dark undercurrents of a seemingly pleasant 

small town.

Road of Bones: A Novel 

by Christopher Golden 

An American documentarian travels a haunted 

highway across the frozen tundra of Siberia in 

New York Times bestselling author Christopher 

Golden’s Road of Bones, a “tightly wound, atmospheric, 

and creepy as hell” (Stephen King) supernatural 

thriller. 

Surrounded by barren trees in a snow-covered 

wilderness with a dim, dusky sky forever overhead, 

Siberia’s Kolyma Highway is 1200 miles of gravel 

packed permafrost within driving distance of the 

Arctic Circle. A narrow path where drivers face 

such challenging conditions as icy surfaces, limited 

visibility, and an average temperature of sixty degrees 

below zero, fatal car accidents are common. 

But motorists are not the only victims of the highway. 

Known as the Road of Bones, it is a massive 

graveyard for the former Soviet Union’s gulag prisoners. 

Hundreds of thousands of people worked to 

death and left where their bodies fell, consumed by 

the frozen elements and plowed beneath the permafrost 

road. 

Fascinated by the history, documentary producer 

Felix “Teig” Teigland is in Russia to drive the 

highway, envisioning a new series capturing Life 

and Death on the Road of Bones with a ride to the 

town of Akhust, “the coldest place on Earth,” collecting 

ghost stories and local legends along the 

way. Only, when Teig and his team reach their destination, 

they find an abandoned town, save one 

catatonic nine-year-old girl—and a pack of predatory 

wolves, faster and smarter than any wild animals 

should be. 

Pursued by the otherworldly beasts, Teig’s companions 

confront even more uncanny and inexplicable 

phenomena along the Road of Bones, as if 

the ghosts of Stalin’s victims were haunting them. 

It is a harrowing journey that will push Teig beyond 

endurance and force him to confront the sins 

of his past.

Behind the Scenes with 

Boca Raton Film Director, 

Marvin Samel 

by TJ Silverman | Photo by Jeff Daly. Copyright FeMor Distribution LLC 2023 

Making a movie is hard work. Perhaps nobody knows that 

better than Boca Raton’s Marvin Samel, who endured the multiyear 

process of bringing his film from the page to the screen. 


Samel is no stranger to hard work, as he ran one of the largest 

premium cigar companies in the world, Drew Estates, before 

selling the company in 2014. “I should have been on top of the 

world. It should have been one of the happiest times of my life. My 

wife gave birth to our twin girls, but around that very same time, my 

mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s,” Samel said. As a way to 

cope with the depression, Samel turned to writing stories about his 

father, Mordecai. “These vignettes were simply a therapeutic outlet 

for me, but I noticed after some time that something clicked on the 

page,” he said. 

What clicked was ultimately the discovery of his first feature film, 

the 2022 Miami Jewish Film Festival Audience Award, iMordecai. 

“Prior to directing this film, I had never even stepped foot on a 

movie set,” Samel said. “I had a script like a million other people, 

and I thought, now what do I do with it? After a year and a half of 

fruitless searching, I finally met Dahlia Heyman (producer and 

award-winning screenwriter) and Allen Bain (executive producer), 

who helped bring iMordecai to life.” 

iMordecai tells the true story about Marvin’s father, Mordecai, 

who must now face the realities of a modern world – navigating his 

first iPhone. It tackles heavy subject matters such as the Holocaust, 

Alzheimer’s, and family issues, but all the while remaining upbeat 

and positive. “I like to think that ultimately, through letting go, he 

begins to heal the things he cannot fix and turn the pain of his past 

into something beautiful,” Samel said. “It’s a journey that takes you 

through every human emotion and teaches you that it’s never too 

late for inspiration.” 

The film which not only takes place in South Florida but is also 

filmed here – is truly a love letter to the community. Scenes highlighting 

South Beach, Aventura, Wynwood, and the iconic Florida coastline, 

are just some of the visuals Floridians will be excited to connect 

with. “This film was only right to be shot here in South Florida. This 

is where these stories took place, and I wanted to make sure every 

scene had a connection to my parents and our story,” Samel said. 

“Even all the extras were Mordecai’s ‘frenemies,’ the neighbors who 

would deal with my father doing crazy things all the time.” 

The characters are a huge part of what makes iMordecai special, 

so casting was quintessential to bringing them to life. In terms of 

casting, the film hits a metaphorical homerun – comprising of Oscarnominated 

and Emmy-Winning actor Judd Hirsch (Taxi), Oscar-nominated 

and Two-time Emmy winner Carol Kane (Hester Street), and 

SAG Award winner Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings). “The exasperation 

Sean portrays of me with Mordecai is from actually seeing me on set 

with my dad,” says Samel. “Sean was always watching and listening, 

and he was always around when I was with my father in the days 

leading up to filming. That’s what he drew on. Sean observed the dynamic 

between us closely. It gave him inspiration. He was able to take 

certain parts of my essence, blend it with his own, and make it into 

something entirely new.” 

iMordecai will be coming to South Florida theaters February 10th. 

It’s a heartfelt comedy that reminds us all that family is complicated 

— it’s also funny, aggravating, and able to teach us about resiliency, 

survival, and love. For Marvin Samel, the lessons he’s learned from 

his father, Mordecai Samel, have been both infuriating and enlightening, 

but nevertheless, a priceless journey that continues to inspire 

future stories for years to come.

Love Makes The 

World Go Round 

Just Ask Allie And Brandon 

It’s not every day, the publisher of 

a magazine gets the good fortune 

of watching his daughter walk 

down the aisle with her soulmate.

Every father’s dream is to ensure that their children are 

happy and healthy. Still, for David Kirby, publisher of Atlantic 

Ave Magazine, it was a dream come true to witness 

the marriage of his daughter Allie. 

“If you are a parent whose daughter recently got married, 

you may remember your feelings that day. 

I was filled with powerful emotions –joy and happiness (especially 

after my speech was finished!) 

For Kirby, preparing for the big day was a labor of love. “I 

had faith (As did Traci, the bride’s mother) that these two 

young people were soulmates destined to meet and spend 

their lives together.” 

To keep things easy (and harmonious), Kirby left most of the 

wedding decisions to Traci and the bride. He was, however, consulted 

on big-ticket items. “For me, it seemed best to give them 

a budget and stay out of the way! They went a bit over budget, 


ut being the bride’s father was an 

honor of a lifetime. And, who can 

put a price tag on that?” 

All weddings are a day of supreme 

joy and elation. But to ensure 

that Allie’s big day had the magnitude 

of grace and graciousness, they 

held the wedding at the magnificent 

Ancient Spanish Monastery. 

This North Miami Beach Monastery 

was not only beautiful but 

had a magical, mystical aura to it. 

It was also the perfect place to witness 

love and revel in its extraordinary 

benevolence. 

The monastery was built in 1133 

AD in northern Spain. It was later 

dedicated to the Blessed Mother 

and called, The Monastery of Our 

Lady, Queen of the Angels. 

Cistercian monks occupied the 

monastery for nearly 700 years. In 

the 1830s, the Monastery’s Cloisters 

were seized, sold, and converted 

into a granary and stable. 

William Randolph Hearst purchased 

the Cloisters and the Monastery 

in 1925. The structure was 

dismantled stone by stone, bound 

with protective hay, and packed in 

over 11,000 wooden crates. It was 

shipped to the US, but Hearst’s financial 

woes caused it to be sold 

at auction. 

The massive crates remained in a 

warehouse in Brooklyn, New York, 

for 26 years. After Hearst’s death in 

1952, they were purchased for use 

as a tourist attraction. 

After 19 months and the equivalent 

of nearly $20 million (in today’s 

currency), the monastery was 

put back together. In 1953 Time 

magazine called it “the biggest jigsaw 

puzzle in history.” 

History was just what this young 

couple was looking for in their fairytale 

wedding location. The massive 

monastic spiritual enclave was enchanting, 

and the ethereal angelic 

site was perfect for the occasion. 

“Wedding guests came from all over 

the USA and England to celebrate 

my baby girl’s wedding and witness 

the next chapter of her life. It was a 

joyous evening of laughter, elation, 

and of course, love.” 

COPYRIGHTED

You could say it was love at first sight for the couple who met in 

college at the University of Florida. While young Allie was walking 

down the street, she saw the most beautiful wolf-like dog. As she 

stared at the dog, its owner (Brandon) was amused by the attention 

of this pretty petite stranger. 

“Wanna pet my dog?” he said from across the street. Though she 

thought the invitation was a little odd, she crossed the street to pet 

the dog. She couldn’t help but notice that the owner was tall, dark, 

and handsome (an excellent place to start). 

She tried to forget about the interaction and focus on her schoolwork, 

but she couldn’t stop thinking about the cute guy and his dog. 

Later that night, Allie’s friends decided to go to Piano Bar for ladies’ 

night. But she couldn’t get Brandon out of her head, so she mustered 

up her courage (with the help of red wine) and knocked on his door. 

He answered in his boxers and said, “Hi.” Allie blurted, “I was wondering 

if you wanted to go to Piano Bar with me tonight.” Brandon 

stared at her for a few seconds and finally said, “Wow, are you the girl 

from earlier? You clean up nicely!” 

The couple danced all night, and Brandon asked all the right questions. 

The next night Brandon cooked her dinner. When she got to his 

apartment, she saw his counter was filled with only organic ingredients 

for a Mexican dish, her favorite! 

At first, Allie played hard to get telling Brandon she was not ready 

for a relationship, but he didn’t listen. From surprise picnics in the 

botanical gardens to scenic drives on his motorcycle to pick sunflowers 

at the farm in Micanopy. Before long, she was head over heels for 

this young man. 

After three weeks, Brandon had a dozen red roses delivered to her 

apartment. In the evening, he recited a song he had written for her. 

From that moment on – in Gainsville, they were inseparable. 

On November 24, 2019, Brandon hired a guitarist to play for them 

on the beach at sunset and then asked her to marry him! 

The answer was an unequivocal yes. The rest is history. 

The wedding took place on December 18, 2022, and it was a day 

that the bride, the groom, and their families will never forget. It was a 

fairy tale wedding that met – and exceeded – everyone’s expectations. 

The beautiful dress was custom designed by Yanna Machi Atelier 

and modeled after the elegance and femininity of the bride. The long 

full skirt and elaborate train that fell to the floor was a metaphor for 

the couples enduring boundless love. And, its old-world opulence 

was reminiscent of the brides’ love of all things Bridgerton. 

The bride’s father, David Kirby, is known for his business acumen 

and kind demeanor. He is also known for his pragmatism and understanding 

of the human condition. 

“Though life’s journey can take you on a circuitous trail of blessings 

and challenges, I look upon my daughter (and new son-in-law) with 

awe and confidence. They are young (in their 20’s) with excellent 

educations and advanced degrees. You cannot explain to be young in 

words – only in emotions. The clean slate that awaits them is perfect.” 

Indeed it is. 

Alexandra is a medical social worker at a Fresenius Kidney Care 

dialysis clinic, and Brandon is in his 4th year of medical school. Bran-

don will graduate this June and has applied for residency, but they 

won’t know where they’ll live until March. 

That uncertainty is not something that the bride’s father is concerned 

with. He does, however, have sage advice for the couple. 

“When I married, I had no fear of the life ahead. I was confident 

that whatever the world tossed my way, I could handle it with ease. I 

also remember my dreams and aspirations at the time.” 

The advice Kirby gives everyone, especially newly married couples, 

is that throughout life, things will happen. “At the time, they 

might seem terrible or unfair, but my experience has been, I realized 

I would not have changed a thing each time this happened. So, I tell 

young people to look at each perceived negative that comes into your 

life and roll with it as part of your journey.” 

He continued, you will often be blessed with experiences and 

outcomes you would never have had without these perceived setbacks. 

“As Garth Brooks once sang, ‘Sometimes I thank God for unanswered 

prayers.’” 

There were many prayers last month at the wedding of Allie and 

Brandon. But also thoughts of realistic proportion that come with 

introspection. 

“This young couple has no children and no mortgage; they’re not 

even sure where they’ll call home! That, my friends, is the essence of 

freedom most people might only feel once!” 

Perhaps, but love is eternal, and emotions are part of the most sacred 

spaces in our hearts. 

“As a man accused of not showing emotions, I cried several times 

that day! The wedding was everything I could have hoped for and 

more. We are blessed.”

Auto Accidents 

and Whiplash 

Auto accidents are a common occurrence. Some sources 

state that 900-1100 auto accidents happen every day. The 

damage to the cars can be fixed, but what about the damage 

that occurs to you? The most common injury is whiplash. 

Whiplash can occur in accidents as low as 8.2 mph. So, 

even if you feel good, it is best to be examined by a physician 

within the first two weeks of the accident. To 

help prevent further injury and a longer recovery, being proactive 

about your injury and health is essential. 

Accidents can cause damage to the cervical spine by way of whiplash, 

which is a result of the sudden acceleration and deceleration 

of the head and neck caused by the collision. This can cause damage 

to the joints, ligaments, discs, and nerve roots of the cervical spine, 

leading to neck pain, limited mobility, and even paralysis. The most 

important part of treating whiplash post-accident in the cervical 

spine is to initially rest and reduce any activities that can aggravate 

the condition. Over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen 

or acetaminophen, can be used for pain relief. Applying cold or 

hot compresses can also help reduce swelling and pain around the 

damaged tissues. Doing some gentle stretching exercises can also 

help. If the injury is severe and persistent, a course of chiropractic 

treatments may be recommended. Most chiropractic offices are 

well equipped to give an accurate assessment, physical exam, and 

x-rays following the accident. 


Chiropractic treatment can be an effective approach to managing 

whiplash. A chiropractor can work to reduce inflammation, improve 

flexibility and mobility, decrease pain, and generally improve 

your overall quality of life through chiropractic manipulations and 

treatments, such as adjustments and soft tissue therapy. The chiropractor 

will also create a personalized care plan that may include 

rehabilitative exercises and lifestyle changes designed to facilitate 

healing, such as posture correction and strengthening exercises to 

correct muscular imbalances that could have contributed to the 

whiplash injury. 

A common treatment to help whiplash is cold laser therapy, also 

known as low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation, which is 

an alternative medical procedure used to treat various conditions, 

including pain. Cold laser therapy has been studied and found to be 

effective in treating whiplash. It reduces inflammation, pain, and 

the healing time of the affected area while improving range of motion 

and ultimately improving physical function. 

Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is a safe, non-invasive 

treatment used to decompress the vertebrae in the spine. 

This technique involves manual manipulation of the spine to gently 

stretch the compressed vertebrae, relieving back pain and discomfort. 

Non-surgical spinal decompression effectively relieves symptoms 

associated with spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, 

herniated or bulging discs, and sciatica. 

Non-surgical spinal decompression is also used to treat the 

chronic pain and discomfort associated with whiplash, which is 

caused by a rapid back-and-forth neck and head motion. This motion’s 

acceleration-deceleration force can cause the neck’s soft tissues 

to stretch or tear, leading to nerve irritation and pain. Nonsurgical 

spinal decompression can help to restore normal cervical 

alignment and reduce discomfort associated with whiplash. 

Take the time to care for yourself after an accident. It is crucial 

for healing and recovery.

February is for Self-Love 

With February comes the month of “love’” thanks to 

Valentine’s Day. No better time than now to talk about 

how “self-love” is imperative for your fitness journey. 

Self-love isn’t about being selfish and it’s not about comparing 

yourself. It’s about self-acceptance, self-respect, self-conviction, 

and accountability for yourself! Self-love gives you the 

strength and courage to pursue your goals relentlessly, even on the 

days where throwing in the towel seems like the thing to do. Here 

are 5 tips on how to practice self-love! 

1. Stop comparing yourself TO OTHers! 

Comparing ourselves to others is natural and so easy to do. Especially 

with the insane world of social media today. Between crazy filters 

and photoshop it’s so hard (sometimes, ha!) to decipher what is 

real and what is not, making it super easy to get down on ourselves. 

It’s the fake perception that perfection is all around us. And this can 

be so super dangerous. That’s why as women we must focus on our 

own journey and forget about comparing. I always tell my clients to, 

“focus on becoming the best version of themselves!” When you shift 

the focus to being the best version of YOU, you’ll eliminate the need 

to be like anyone else. 

2. Remember your value doesn’t come from 

a number on the scale! 

This is fundamental! I see so many women get down 

on themselves because they don’t like the number that 

is popping up on the scale. This drives me crazy that 

so many women let a number on a scale determine 

how they feel about themselves. I have some clients 

come for a check-in where I can tell them that 

they lost 3lb of fat and gained 3lb of muscle and 

they still get down on themselves because, “the 

scale hasn’t moved!” It boggles my mind, but it is 

real. So, if you are a slave to the scale, go home 

and throw it away asap! A number should ever 

dictate the value you put on yourself. You are 

valuable because you are you, not because of 

your what your scale reads. 

3. Take time for you! 

Another one that’s so much easier said than 

done! As women we can quickly grow accustomed 

to putting others first. We often play the role of busy 

moms, caretakers, business owners, and often a mix 

of all three. This can leave little time for ourselves and 


lead to burnout from everyday life quickly. That is why I believe in 

giving yourself at a least one hour per day for you. Taking time to 

decompress whether it be for a workout, a head-clearing walk, or 

even just taking a long shower with no one bothering you! Surely all 

moms can easily relate to that one! Find what helps you decompress 

and dedicate time to this. This daily time to ourselves enables us to 

show up better for others and help to keep our own tanks full. Life 

is so much easier and sweeter when we are not running on empty! 

4. Watch your WOrds! 

The world is full of harsh words and critique — don’t add your 

own inner voice to the mix. Speak kindly to yourself! Speak as 

though you’re speaking to someone you love. Some of the things I 

say to myself I would never say to anyone else. So why in the world 

do we do this to ourselves? It’s such an ironic thing. A good idea is to 

come up with a plan when a negative thought arises! Think of specific 

affirmations to say to yourself! Replace one negative thought 

with THREE positive ones every single time you start to talk negatively 

to yourself! 

5. Be proud of HOW far you’ve come! 

Lastly try and celebrate your accomplishments. No 

accomplishment is too small because each small accomplishment 

is what leads to the bigger results in 

the long run. Even though you may not be at your 

goal yet, think of how far you have come on your 

fitness journey. Can you do more push-ups now 

than you could 6 months ago? Can you run a 

little longer, than you did 2 weeks ago? Maybe 

your diet isn’t exactly perfect, but are you making 

better eating choices than you were a year ago? 

There is always something positive to focus on 

and celebrate, always! And lastly, be patient 

with yourself. Self-love may not happen overnight 

but with time, it will settle itself into 

your mind, booty, and soul!

8 Great Places to Visit 

in the UK, After London 

By linda brown 

If you’re planning a trip to the UK, chances are you’re heading to London, 

but maybe no further. The buzzing metropolis draws millions of visitors 

every year, and many people feel it offers all they could want. But the UK 

is packed with other amazing places beyond London, each unique in some 

special way, so make sure you don’t miss out. Here are eight highlights 

around the country, for starters: 

1. Cornwall & Devon 

These two counties are in the southwest of England and are 

one of Britain’s most popular tourist areas. Offering such variety 

with their long sandy beaches, inlets, moorland, hills 

and valleys. The North Atlantic coastline is popular with surfers 

and the hiking is great! The South Coast Path is a 630-mile hiking 

trail and follows this most dramatic of English coasts, round Land’s 

End and the Lizard point, respectively the most westerly and most 

southerly points in England. 


2. Elegant Bath 

The graceful, little city of Bath makes a refreshing antidote to 

London. Take a stroll around the famous Royal Crescent, visit 

the historic Roman Baths and sip the curative spring water 

in the elegant, old Pump Room. You can do your gift shopping in 

the tiny stalls that adorn the river bridge. Stay until nightfall and 

witness the magical floodlights - there’s a fairytale element to Bath. 

COPYRIGHTED 

3, The Cotswolds 

A 

little further north, you will encounter the rolling farmland 

of the Cotswolds, where the quaint, little stone cottages and 

Norman churches will take you back through the centuries. 

continued page 64

COPYRIGHTED 


Stop off in a sleepy, old village, such as Bibury, and walk around the 

amazingly preserved Roman villa near Chedworth. You’ll find plenty 

of classy eating places and craft shops in this charming, “olde 

worlde” region. 

4. The Welsh mining valleys 

There’s a harsh side to British history alongside the fairytale 

one, and you’ll feel it in the old mining valleys of South Wales. 

Drive over the stark mountains and view the rows of workers’ 

cottages, now painted in bright colors. Take the elevator down 

The Big Pit and learn how tough life used to be for the coalminers. 

Then you could step even further back through history with a roam 

around Caerphilly Castle - but mind those spooky, spiral staircases. 

5. Vibrant Manchester 

Visit the beating heart of the north of England. You’ll feel the 

buzz of Manchester life as soon as you arrive. Take a tram 

ride around town and check out the latest events at the 

many theatres and concert halls. You’ll find plenty of stand-up comedy 

and other fun shows in Manchester, and plenty of sport, too, as 

well as top-notch culture. 


6. The Lake District 

Around the coastline from Manchester, you will find the romantic, 

hidden world of The Lake District. Climb the dramatic 

mountains and take a boat trip around beautiful Lake Windermere, 

the largest of the sixteen gleaming waters. Then you can ride 

through the magical scenery on a splendid, vintage steam train. 

7. Historic Edinburgh 

Venture over the rugged border of Scotland - scene of many 

a historic battle - and head north to Edinburgh for another 

great experience. With the imposing castle on its great rock 

and bagpipe music in the air, you will know you’ve arrived. How 

about donning a kilt and joining in a Scottish dance reel? You would 

certainly deserve a stick of delicious “Edinburgh Rock” after that. 

COPYRIGHTED 

8. York and the Yorkshire Dales 

As you head back south to London, drop in on the ancient city 

of York. Step inside the resplendent York Minster, browse 

the little shops in the old Shambles district, then join an after-dark 

ghost-walk around the twisty, cobbled streets. Take a drive 

over Yorkshire’s wild moors and pretty dales, and make sure you 

try all the local cakes, pies, and ales on your way through. 

There are plenty more special places to see while you’re over in 

Britain, not just in these parts but across the water in Ireland, too. 

Browse the sightseeing websites and ask fellow travelers for their 

recommendations. There is something for everyone in the UK.

Meet Stephen! 

SOUTH FLORIDA’S PREMIER 

ECO-LUXury BUILDER 

By VUP Media | photos by Living Proof & Joey Duhon of Drone Home Florida | Renderings by: TekVisual 


A full-service builder, Bella Homes 

possesses a unique focus on 

eco-luxury initiatives and clean, 

modern design. 

Every Bella Home is Certified Green by the Florida Green Building 

Coalition, with LED lighting, energy-efficient appliances, 

smart home technology, and more. From functional designs 

to gorgeous custom finishes, there’s something special about every 

single Bella Home. The Bella Homes team pours their heart and soul 

into each home they build. With Managing Partner Stephen Petrucci’s 

personal approach, the team is hands-on to ensure the details held to 

their high standards. 

CUSTOM HOMES 

Working with clients on every detail of the home, Bella customizes 

the build to match the client’s vision from architectural to interior design. 

It’s about creating a home that supports the client’s lifestyle and 

that process starts with a conversation and getting to know the client. 

Bella Home’s in-house interior design team works directly with the 

client in putting together the look and feel of the home from concept 

to completion. The design is not complete until the house is furnished. 

Having direct access to a full-service design team streamlines the entire 

process for the client.

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE 

Stephen kick started his career right out of college at a young age. 

By building his career from the ground up, he entered the real estate 

industry and now focuses on understanding the client and what he or 

she wants and needs in a new home. Originally from New York, Stephen 

moved to Florida in the ‘90s and has made it his home ever since. 

He articulates, “My background studying Real Estate and Finance at 

Florida State University allowed for an easy transition into the world 

of real estate, starting on the financial side and quickly moving on to 

build custom homes.”

HOME IS WHERE THE FAMILY IS 

Happily married since 2005, Stephen has two daughters and a son. 

“Family is the most important aspect of my life, so we treat every Sunday 

as a family day dedicated to spending time together. When we can, 

we love going on family vacations as much as possible,” says Stephen. 

When he’s not working, Stephen loves making time to catch up with 

friends and family. He spends his days off enjoying the beautiful Florida 

weather by playing golf or heading to the beach. 

THE FOCUS BEHIND eacH CLIENT 

The high demand for eco-luxury homes in the Palm Beach County 

market has made Bella Homes’ growth. The company consistently has 

between six to twelve active projects, with new developments available 

to top producers at a pre-market level. “We’re constantly updating 

our website to keep our partners up to date with every project, 

including realistic renderings, construction progress footage, and detailed 

brochures that notate the features and specs of each home,” says 

Stephen. Stephen loves the challenge of collaborating with his creative 

team and contractors to consistently bring innovative designs to the 

custom home market. “To me, success lives in the team you surround 

yourself with,” says Stephen. “It’s impossible to do everything yourself, 

so working with amazing people on a day-to-day basis allows me to go 

home and have that reward of spending time with my family. I truly enjoy 

being surrounded by an incredible team and working together to 

bring our vision to life. You can’t be just one person; you have to build a 

team around it – that’s success.” In closing, Stephen says, “I want to be 

remembered for having a quality, amazing product. I’m proud to play a 

role in changing the landscape of South Florida. Driving down streets 

and seeing homes I’ve built is a really exciting thing, so to have people 

drive through South Florida and see all the different Bella Homes and 

communities – that’s what I want to be remembered for.” 

BELLA’S CURRENT proJECTS 

Bella Homes recently sold four properties and actively has six properties 

in the works. From transitional modern masterpieces in Boca 

Raton to coastal modern masterpieces in Ocean Ridge, Bella brings the 

utmost superior quality to each home. In Delray, we have the stunning

which is already finished and happily lived in. Fieldbrook is a recently 

completed stunning new construction home featuring an expansive 

loggia area that overlooks a gorgeous lake, newly on the market. Le 

Rivage is a newly completed construction modern masterpiece in 

an exclusive Boca Raton neighborhood on a lakefront lot. In Ocean 

Ridge, we have two magnificent Bella properties coming together. One 

on North Ocean Boulevard with beach access & breathtaking ocean 

views. This home is a very rare opportunity as it is an open concept 

home that invites modern clean lines, warm woods, & stone touches.

World Crystal 

Bringing the Beauty of 

Gemstones into the Light 

By diane feen 

There is a difference between a 

shop for browsing and a gallery 

that wows you with excellence. 

World Crystal is both. It’s part museum and part gift shop 

with gemstones at its core. 

But don’t let the word gemstones scare you into thinking 

that you don’t need another piece of art sitting on your bookshelf. 

Quite to the contrary, World Crystal has beautiful items made 

from rare gemstones in all colors and for every occasion. Want a set 

of goblets in marbled white and bronze onyx? How about a cheese 

cutter made of gemstones with gold electroplated edging? 

The beauty of these items defies imagination, yet they are so 

practical you’ll wonder why you never saw them before. The answer 

is quite simple; few places sell this quantity and quality of 

gemstone pieces in the city (or the country). 

The person who brought these keepsakes and home décor items 

to the United States is Marcelo Neves. The Brazilian native has 

worked in his grandfather’s gemstone business in Goiás, Brazil, 

since he was five. Back then, his grandfather collected gemstones 

to sell to shop owners and collectors. Soon he opened a mine and 

began to bring rare gemstones to the surface, where they could be 

Marcelo Neves with his children at world crystal’s grand opening 


made into gift items, jewelry, and spiritual healing crystals. 

Marcelo began wholesaling the gemstones as an adult but soon 

realized he wanted to share these aesthetic treasures with others. 

He also dreamed of coming to the US and finding a location where 

the gemstones could bring harmony and happiness to others. 

On his first visit to Delray Beach, Marcelo felt a synergy and simpatico 

with his surroundings. He also had a feeling that the mystical 

quality of his gemstones and artifacts would be a perfect fit for 

residents and visitors of Delray. 

“I wanted to do something that had a lot of meaning. I searched 

for a location, and I fell in love with Delray. I felt the energy of the 

crystals and the environment were in perfect sync.” 

Marcelo could not have been more on target. This brightly lit 

shop is like a museum where you can touch and buy rare one-of-akind 

gemstones for décor, gifts, and healing crystals. It’s the perfect 

fit for a beach town that values beauty and quality. 

World Crystal is a world of beauty encapsulating reality’s more 

magnificent aspects. There are tiny gemstone bonsai trees on onyx 

stands with gold plating and wood branches. Pink onyx birds seem to 

flit upward perched on a quartz and tourmaline stand, and colorful 

gemstone clocks have gold numerals. It’s hard not to fall in love with 

the pink amethyst heart held firmly in place on a black onyx base. 

COPYRIGHTED

Marcelo Neves, owner 

This gallery boutique has large one-of-a-kind gemstones that can 

hold court in a home or an office building, but people love them for 

varying reasons. 

Some people collect gemstones for their beauty and décor, others 

seek them out for gifts, and still, others understand their inherent 

healing energy. Metaphysically speaking, there are healing gemstones 

for every part of the body. And World Crystal has them all. 

You can buy a package of Chakra stones that will guide you toward 

a more enlightened existence. If you are not feeling the vibe 

– but are open to the beauty of rare gemstones - you will still be enamored 

with the textured emerald alligators and matrix chamber 

ammonite fossils. 

Many gemstones bring a mystical charge to help release energies 

that could block your highest aspirations. As the story goes – the 

spiral shape of ammonites are symbols of change and positive motion. 

The spiral draws in negative energy, filtering it through the 

chambers and releasing fresh, positive energy. 

On a more practical note, there are bookends made of quartz 

and agate, gemstone candleholders with electroplated gold inlay, 

fuchsia quartz coasters with gold trim, two-tiered blue agate hors 

d’oeuvre trays, and more. 

Just recently, a visitor from Hawaii bought a large crystal Eagle 

with an onyx and amethyst base. They also sold a large 6-foot 

thinly cut onyx piece that is translucent enough to become a statuesque 

light source. 

World Crystal also has an entire collection of jewelry made of 

fine crystals and gemstones. There are necklaces, rings, bracelets, 

and keychains in every color of this precious rainbow. If you are 

attuned to energy and vibrational flow, there are gemstones and 

crystals to increase your energy flow and well-being. 

“We know meditation works wonders for us - but you can increase 

these benefits using the power of stones and crystals, said 

Marcelo. “Just hold the stone or place it on the chakra you want to 

work with, and picture what you want to improve. Amethyst, for 

example, can increase your intuition and balance.” 

There are so many gems and rare crystals to lighten up your 

home and life; you must stop by this new Delray shop of wonders. 

There are explanations for each crystal and gemstone and experts 

to guide you toward the perfect piece. They have gemstone 

chess sets, lamps, wood and gemstone cheeseboards, Mother Nature’s 

most illustrious creatures, and everything in between. 

The sizes range from very small to large pieces. Some are so precious 

and colorful that they stand on their own as décor and emotional 

upliftment. 

The gemstones and crystals are from all over the world. They are 

carefully curated and collected by Marcelo and his family. 

Come to this eclectic shop that offers museum-quality precious gems 

for any room of your home or your energetic harmony, and discover 

these precious gemstones’ magical beauty and healing properties

A Little Wyld 

The Fashion 

Palace of Greatness 

By Diane Feen | photos by melissa korman 

A Little Wyld is a boutique that has 

more in common with a museum 

than a traditional retail store. 

The reason is that owners Amanda Perna and Skye Dyer see 

life on the bright side with colors that bloom in tandem with 

your mood. 

Luckily the weather forecast at this shop for children and adults 

is perpetually on the sunny side. There might be cloudy days, but 

you won’t feel anything less than optimal at this adorable Pineapple 

Grove shop. 

The clothing you see on the racks seems like those in a Hollywood 

dressing room. Each item is so carefully curated it’s as if a 

personal shopper was on site to tickle your fancy. 

For the little ones, there are outfits fit for a queen (or a princess), 

like pastel velour motorcycle jackets, feather-trimmed dresses, 

tulle-tiered skirts, and everything in between. There are also colorful 

dresses for women with novelty trim, cinched waist detail, fashionable 

trousers, and more. 

One thing is for sure; you won’t see these items anywhere else. 

They are carefully chosen for their unique flair and sustainability. 

“If you’re like us, you’re obsessed with colorful, one-of-a-kind, highquality, 

ethical, sustainable, and a little bit of the unexpected.” 


That is why walking into this shop of wizardry is such a treat 

and a treasure. Where else can you find Confetti Crayons in tonal 

colors or handmade wood race cars (made in France) for your 

fast-moving little one? 

The depth and breadth of this shop defy gravity because the 

owners have found that individuality has its rewards. “We carry 

brands from all over the world that have clothing, accessories, and 

toys that you won’t see anywhere else. We do a lot of research to 

decide what will make our customers happy.” 

You bet they do. Walking into A Little Wyld is the best pick me 

up for fashion sake or a creative jolt. The owners, Amanda Perna 

and Skye Dyer are artistic leaders in their field with a penchant for 

kindness and courage. 

Both women are mothers and wives whose only motive is to offer 

others what they find uplifting. Others around town can feel the 

difference between retail and renaissance in this material matter. 

“A Little Wyld is my absolute favorite store for kids and women. 

They have excellent bathing suits, clothes for every occasion and 

toys! The owners curate the best of everything and have made it a 

super fun shopping experience,” said Renee Phillips. 

Phillips is right. Perna and Dyer are experts at finding things that 

will put a smile on your face and pep in your step. They seek out 

emerging designers who understand the fine details of fashion with 

an upbeat flair for kids and adults. 

Their shelves are stocked with European wooden toys and gift 

items for any occasion. The shelves are also filled with hair acces- 

COPYRIGHTED

sories, fashionable handbags, mini-acoustic guitars, artistic 

greeting cards, and much more. 

They have your back if you are busy but need to shop quickly. 

“You can call the store and tell us what you’re looking for, 

and we’ll send you photos and then ship what you like. Or you 

can pull up in front of the store, and we will take out different 

items to show you.” 

These moms know how precious your time is and how a 

simple task can complicate a busy day. Their retailing philosophy 

is based on a high consciousness, not a high price tag. “We 

try to make shopping as accessible and easy as possible and 

also a pleasant experience. We also gift wrap your purchase 

at no charge.” 

A Little Wyld also caters to your desire for uniqueness and 

creativity. That’s why they only order a limited quantity of 

items, so you won’t see them elsewhere. If they are out of your 

size, they will do their best to get it for you. 

“We also try to protect the planet by buying items in recycled 

materials that are going to last and be passed down to 

others. Our toys and clothing will last for a long time. We pride 

ourselves in that pursuit.” 

They also offer unique, clever items that will fill you with 

joy. Even band-aids come decorated with unicorns, spaceships, 

and octopuses. 

There are also decorative headbands by Amanda (a twotime 

Project Runway contestant), jewelry for moms and little 

ones, novelty candles, embroidered pillows, stuffed toys for 

infants that vibrate, comfy novelty slippers, and gift items that 

will wow your host. 

The prices are affordable yet rich in style and structure. 

There are ostrich feather bolero jackets, puff sleeve tops, sun 

dresses in pop art prints for moms, and SPF-safe T-shirts and 

swimwear for little ones. 

They also have sale racks and an online shop (and Instagram 

page) that will fill your imagination and closet. Shop or 

browse in one of the most innovative, exciting shops in town. 

It’s not just for kids – moms are also part of this retail gem. 

“Our dream is simple - To infuse the bliss of childhood into 

every product and shopping experience.

Engel & Völkers Delray 

A Rare Combination of History 

and Heritage Can Be Yours 

By Diane Feen | photos by Ryin Gibbs 

Delray Beach has become the celebrity 

darling of the geographic lottery pool. 

The Downtown area is an epicenter of culture, class, and real 

estate royalty. Add that to the beautiful waterways and alluring 

nighttime restaurants (and shops), and you have a 

utopian landscape. 

It seems everyone – from all corners of the globe – wants a part 

of downtown Delray Beach. Especially one with a water view that 

beckons you with its natural artistic sunrises and illustrious skylines. 

That dream can be yours at 46 Marine Way. 

This multi-level historic home was built in 1922 and is believed 

to be of Addison Mizner heritage. The house was brought to Delray 

by barge from Boca Raton (the home of this aristocratic design 

sensibility) and is now firmly planted in front of the Intracoastal 

waterway just steps from Atlantic Avenue. 


COPYRIGHTED 

The stucco home has stately iron rod gates, an in-ground swimming 

pool, a courtyard with a guest house, and beautiful Key West 

style privacy courtesy of Mother Nature’s green. 

One of its most auspicious selling points is its waterfront patronage, 

which includes a view of the Delray Beach Marina and a slice 

of heaven on the marina where you can sit and enjoy the view (or 

keep your boat) on your private 53-foot dock. 

“This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of waterfront property 

in downtown Delray Beach. This Palm Beach style Mizner Mediterranean 

home is directly across from the Delray Beach Marina with 

outstanding views of the Intracoastal Waterway,” said private advisor-Broker 

Leanna Fruin of Engel & Voelkers Delray Beach. 

This charming waterfront home (with a private dock) will transport

you to an iconic landmark of Florida 

history that is rarely experienced but 

often talked about. The main house 

features a one-bedroom, one-bath 

home with the character and iconic 

status of its creator, Addison Mizner. 

It has a stucco exterior with terracotta 

tiles, Pecky Cypress wood beam ceilings, 

and Dade County Pine floors. 

“There is also ample room to build 

onto the home with new construction. 

The opportunity is to take this vintage historic Florida facade 

and turn it into a modern version of its heritage in downtown Delray,” 

said Fruin, who adds that the property features a private easement to 

the 53 feet of direct Intracoastal views with a deck and floating dock. 

Also exciting is the upcoming plan for the City of Delray Beach to 

add a seawall, brick paved street, and pedestrian walkway linking 

Veterans Park to the Marina. 

You can also walk to Delray’s vibrant Atlantic Avenue boutiques, 

fine dining restaurants, and dynamic nightlife. It’s also a short walk 

to award-winning pristine beaches and oceanfront panacea. 

The home is south of the Atlantic Avenue bridge in the Historic 

Marina District of Delray Beach. According to Fruin, this property 

is a treasure that combines the past and present with a vision for 

the future. 

As for its investment opportunities, Fruin has this to say. “This 

home is an iconic part of the scenic downtown Delray Beach waterscape. 

The lot offers a tremendous opportunity to combine a 

historic gem with modern-day living as a primary residence or 

income-producing property. The two units in the best possible location 

is perfect for short-term rentals with room to add value. All 

that Delray Beach has to offer is at the doorstep!” 

Fruin is an industry top producer with over 23 years of experience 

selling South Florida luxury properties. She has achieved 

unparalleled results and represents the highest level of luxury real 

estate service the industry offers. 

“I feel honored to represent like-minded people who understand 

the uniqueness of the area.” 

Also coming up in the immediate area is the Atlantic Crossing 

mixed-use development. There will be additional upscale restaurants 

and shops as well as nightlife opportunities. 

The home is co-listed with Leanna Fruin and Savannah Fruin. Leanna 

is a Broker Owner with Engel & Völkers and is one of only approximately 

220 Private Office advisors 

worldwide and one of only 21 Private 

Office advisors in all of Florida, representing 

the highest level of real estate 

service the industry offers. Savannah 

Fruin is an award-winning luxury waterfront 

specialist and prides herself 

in fulfilling the lifestyle needs of the 

newest generations of wealth. 

“We wanted to find our dream 

home, not a simple request, on the 

water, in Delray, and near the beach. Within days Savannah found 

us an off-market property and connected us with our builder. A 

perfect lot three houses from the beach, we could not be happier. 

Savannah guided us through the whole process, and we are about 

to move into our dream home. We are so thankful for what Savannah 

did for us,” said Bill Hicks 

With the luxury market tightening in south Florida, the Fruin 

team has had great success assisting their clients with value-added 

opportunity investments, whether it be constructing their dream 

home with built-in equity, finding multi-tiered, value-added development 

opportunities for all levels of investors or assisting owners 

in determining the highest and best use in valuing their asset.

Adding Health and 

Wellness to Your Life 

By diane feen | Photos by melissa korman 

Let’s face it. Life can be stressful. Whether 

working long hours or trying to keep everything 

on an even keel, sometimes you need a break. 

Massage Heights Delray knows that very well. That’s why 

they offer services and products guaranteed to put the pep 

back into your step. Or give you the relaxation you need to 

feel refreshed and harmonious. 

A great way to de-stress after a long week is to get a relaxing massage. 

Massage Heights Delray gives you options that best suit your 

lifestyle and preference. They offer hot stone massage, deep tissue, 

and Swedish massages. 

They also go the extra mile to ensure you get what your body 

needs. “We offer a complete personalized experience that makes 

each session unique and customized for your preferences and treatment 

goals.” 

A facial is a relaxing beauty treatment and will help you maintain 

a youthful, glowing complexion. If you prefer an alternative service, 

such as aromatherapy, it’s complimentary with every service. They 

also offer assorted facials by professionally trained spa aestheticians. 

The Essential Facial is for routine care, and the Clear Skin Facial 

is focused on treating blemishes. Each facial is customized for your 

specific skin type and your treatment goals. 

For Massage Heights Delray owner Angela Wright, the need for spa 

treatments and their effect on the health and wellness of clients was 

always paramount. “I choose this career because I love to help people 


feel better and meet their daily challenges. We strive to elevate the 

lives of everyone we touch.” 

Massage Heights Delray has always been a calm place for the mind, 

body, and spirit. They offer healing massages, reflexology, and facials 

at affordable prices, and it’s a relaxing place to experience a variety 

of treatments from head to toe. 

“Our goal is to be your guide on a journey toward serenity and 

harmony. That includes releasing stress, gaining flexibility, peace of 

mind, relaxation, and experiencing the benefits that massage therapy 

and facials provide.” 

And who among us is not stressed at some time during the week or 

day? That is why people seek out Massage Heights Delray as an easy 

antidote to the stresses of modern life. 

Just ask their clients. “I have tried many different massage places, 

and Massage Heights Delray is the best! It is spotless, and they always 

take you on time. I have used different therapists, and everyone gave 

me a relaxing, professional massage. Try Massage Heights Delray, 

and you will be happy and relaxed; I guarantee it!” said Michael. 

He’s not alone. “This is honestly the best massage I have ever had. I 

came to Delray for the weekend for my fiancé’s birthday, but I was in 

so much pain I needed relief. Michael was very patient and attentive 

to my pain - especially my back pain. He applied the perfect amount 

of pressure to feel relief and not be sore. I 150% recommended them 

!!!” said Jessica. 

Massage Heights Delray is open seven days a week as well. “We 

can accommodate our clients when they need us the most – in the 

morning when they wake up with a stiff neck, tense shoulders, or at 

the end of a stressful day.” 

Prices are also affordable. Introductory prices range from $69.99 

for a 60-minute massage to $79.99 for a 60-minute facial. There are 

also elevations that can be added to your treatment - hot stone therapy, 

foot scrub, cupping therapy, dry brushing, hemp-infused massage, 

and others. 

Massage Heights is currently offering a Valentine’s special –purchase 

a $100 gift card, and you will get a free $25 promo card. The 

gift card offer begins January 30, 2023, and ends February 26, 2023. 

The promo expires on June 30, 2023.

They also offer sports massages, prenatal massages, and deep tissue 

massages. 

Their goal is to help you relax and let the pressures of the day 

evaporate. The best avenue toward this stress-free state is to indulge 

in Massage Heights Delray facials and massages specifically geared 

toward healing different areas of your body. 

They also offer a cost-effective membership program. Being a 

member saves you 50% off Non-Member pricing on any additional 

services and Elevations. You also get aromatherapy with every service 

at no charge. 

“I started in the industry as a Front Desk Receptionist when I was 

16 years old. I knew immediately this was my passion. I choose Massage 

Heights Delray to be my home because I truly believe in their 

vision,” said owner Wright. 

According to Wright, people want massages and facials to combat 

due stress, injuries, and some medical conditions. “With our low 

prices, these services are affordable for everyone. We have couples 

massages and offer services to bridal parties.” 

If you want to create a spa experience at home, Massage Heights 

Delray has potent healing products for purchase. You can take home 

CBD lotions, CBD sports balm, and CBD drops to help with anxiety, 

pain management, inflammation, and arthritis. 

Massage Heights Delray believes that a healthy body creates a 

healthy life. You can achieve that and more by restoring balance to 

your body, mind, and spirit through massage therapy, facials, and 

other treatments.

Wendy Kupfer 

Real Estate By Relationship 

By nicol jenkins | photos by andrea blakesberg 

Wendy Kupfer 

embodies the meaning 

of the word passionate. 

A 

seasoned professional with decades of experience guiding 

clients through complex financial decisions as a former Citigroup 

VP and Private Banker, Wendy now serves her community 

as an agent with Balistreri Real Estate, where she specializes 

in helping buyers and sellers navigate Palm Beach County’s 

luxury real estate market. 

Originally from Philadelphia, Wendy has lived in South Palm 

Beach County for thirty-five years, raising her children and serving 

multiple non-profit board positions, including the Rotary Club 

of Boca Raton’s first female president. She is also the author of an 

award-winning children’s book, “Let’s Hear It for Almigal!” 

Her passion for helping others has allowed Wendy to successfully 

transition from banking executive and author to South Palm 

Beach County’s local real estate expert. 

Wendy’s real estate practice is influenced by the concierge approach 

that is the backbone of private banking: She chooses not to 

take on too many clients at once so that she can focus on each client. 

When representing buyers in their search for luxury properties, 

from country club communities to waterfront estates, Wendy 


first seeks to understand their unique goals and then leverages her 

negotiating skills and neighborhood expertise to give her clients a 

leading edge over the competition. 

When representing sellers, Wendy has an extensive marketing 

plan to get the house sold for the highest price and in the shortest 

amount of time. “I work very hard and go above and beyond for 

each and every buyer and seller,” says Wendy. “When you hire me, 

you get ME…never an assistant or a lockbox! I am personally at each 

and every open house and each and every showing. Who you work 

with matters!” 

Wendy knows that impeccable marketing is the key to selling 

her clients’ properties for top dollar. “The real estate market is still 

thriving in Palm Beach County because it is a luxury home market. 

Many clients are buying second or third homes, and pricing is still 

strong. When the homes are staged, priced, and marketed properly, 

they sell.” she adds. 

Her brokerage, Balistreri Real Estate, offers a wealth of resources 

that amplify these efforts. As a member of Luxury Portfolio International, 

an elite group of the world’s top real estate companies, Balistreri 

offers Wendy access to agents worldwide to help her seamlessly 

serve out-of-state or international clients alike. Whether they’re looking 

for existing homes or new construction, Wendy can easily guide 

non-local clients through the entire process virtually. Most importantly, 

her concierge approach means that she is always available to 

answer her customers’ questions and assist them in any way possible. 

COPYRIGHTED

“The real estate market is always adjusting, and 

it’s important to stay current and to be at the top 

of your game to provide the best possible client 

experience.” Additionally, Wendy is coached by 

Tom Ferry, the #1 coaching organization in real 

estate. She is constantly learning and growing to 

improve her clients’ experience. 

Her resources, contacts, intimate knowledge 

of the local market, and strong business acumen 

have contributed to Wendy’s reputation for exceptional 

client service. She works tirelessly to 

serve her client’s best interests, and her clients 

reward her efforts with enduring business relationships 

that often blossom into friendships. 

Here’s what some of her clients have to say: 

“Wendy Kupfer is the consummate professional, 

providing the perfect combination of expertise 

and heart. She consistently strives for excellence 

on behalf of her clients and makes every 

challenge along the way a little easier with her 

positive spirit and can-do attitude. She brings a 

wealth of market knowledge and design sensibility 

to her work, and working with her has been a 

joy. I cannot recommend Wendy enough,” stated 

client Richard Ditizio, President and COO at the 

Milkin Institute. 

“I have worked with many Realtors and can attest 

that Wendy Kupfer is one of the most dynamic 

and conscientious professionals out there, a true 

‘people person’ whose genuine passion for client 

service infuses every interaction with integrity 

and warmth that sets her apart from others in the 

industry. From our very first conversation, I knew 

Wendy would be a delight to work with, and she’s 

never let me down since!” stated Jess M. 

“Working with Wendy Kupfer at Balistreri 

Real Estate to both sell and buy a home was 

an efficient and enjoyable experience. Wendy’s 

ability to understand my needs, coupled with 

her knowledge of the market, made the process 

quick and easy, from helping me prepare my 

house for showings to the listings we visited. 

I felt as though I was Wendy’s most important 

client. Wendy was always available to answer 

my questions, making me feel as though I had 

a friend on the “inside.” Wendy took the time 

to explain everything, from making an offer to 

working with the mortgage broker and the HOA. 

The process from start to finish was personal 

and professional, and I am thrilled to have found 

my dream home! Whatever your real estate 

goals, Wendy’s personal attention will help you 

achieve your personal vision,” stated Vicki.

America’s Most 

Romantic Small City 

Delray Beach 

By Linda brown 

Delray Beach is known as a two-time All America City and 

was named America’s Most Fun Small Town, but those in the 

know—know that at its heart Delray Beach is a romantic city. 

From quaint hotel properties and a 

vast array of spas to beautiful ocean 

views and romantic wine dinners, 

Delray has it all and there’s no place better 

than the village by the sea to spend Valentine’s 

Day. 

Here’s a few off the beaten path options 

we hope you’ll explore. 

Staycations — From the high end 

and historic to boutique options and family 

owned properties, Delray has quietly 

become a great place to spend a weekend 

living like a tourist. 

About a decade ago, city leaders lamented 

the lack of hotel rooms, but a 

mini-boomlet of construction has suddenly 

made Delray a hot place to stay for a long 

weekend. 

If you like historic lodging, consider either 

the Sundy House, home of Delray’s first 

mayor, or the Colony Hotel, which is considered 

one of America’s most historic hotels, 

and it might be haunted, rumor has it. 

For a boutique option check out elegant 

but casual Crane’s Beach House. 

Luxury options also abound with the 

magnificent Seagate Hotel leading the way. 

So next time you consider gassing up the 

car and getting out of Dodge, treat your significant 

other to a long weekend right here 

at home. There are plenty of cool options. 

Nature — Delray has built an international 

reputation for marrying small town 

charm with big city amenities, but what’s 

great about Delray is with a little effort you 

can get lost in beautiful Florida nature. 

COPYRIGHTED 


Consider a visit to the underrated Lake Ida 

Park which has miles of trails, an incredible 

dog park, abundant wildlife, great bird watching 

and a huge lake to fish, jet ski or boat. 

Another romantic option for the nature 

lover is Morikami Park, which features romantic 

solitude minutes from downtown 

Delray. The park and gardens are gorgeous 

and provides many opportunities for picnics 

and exploration. 

Morikami’s gardens, a must see, is named 

Roji-en: Garden of the Drops of Dew. 

The six gardens were designed to be a 

living exhibit complementing the museum. 

Designer Hoichi Kurisu sought to create 

a garden complex for the new millennium 

and trust us he succeeded. 

The gardens are inspired by, but are not 

replicas of, famous gardens in Japan. 

Says Kurisu: “My hope is that a visit to 

the gardens will genuinely and deeply 

touch each individual’s life. My hope is that 

progressive ideas will be born and that action 

will take root here, that the intuitive 

conviction of such enduring qualities as 

beauty, love, health and wholeness, integrity, 

creativity, renewal, and selflessness 

will be strengthened. 

I will have accomplished my goal if visitors 

to the gardens come away refreshed 

and feeling better about themselves and 

their world while looking forward to sharing 

their experiences here with others.” 

We also highly recommend a stroll along 

the beach or beachside promenade, soon 

to be improved as a result of great work 

by the Beach Property Owners Association 

and local architectural icon Bob Currie. 

We remain amazed at the amount of people 

who live here and don’t visit the ocean. 

We advise you to take advantage this Valentine’s 

Day. 

CULTURE — Nothing says romance better 

than sharing a meaningful cultural experience. 

The Arts Garage has pushed the envelope 

with provocative musical and theater 

performances designed to rev your engine 

and fire up your imagination. 

On the February 4th enjoy The Motowners 

Ultimate Motown Show Experience. 

The Motowners are an amazing Motown 

Tribute Band performing an array of Motown’s 

Greatest Hits. Their repertoire is extensive 

covering such groups as The Temptations, 

The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, The 

Supremes, Martha & The Vandellas, Mary 

Wells and more. The artist’s collective 

talent includes fine vocals and precision 

moves featuring a variety of lead vocals. 

The Motowners have performed on the 

same stage as national artists and as well 

as performed before high profile individuals 

such as First Lady Michelle Obama. The 

Motowners’ shows are nostalgic, classic, 

upbeat and inspire singing along and dancing. 

“Once you see a Motowners Show, you 

can’t wait to see them again”, said by many. 

They bring back memories of times past 

and leave you with a happy feeling. Visit 

www.artsgarage.org for more performances, 

tickets and more information. 

You may also want to stop by Arts Garage 

during Downtown Delray’s First Friday 

Art Walk on February 3rd from 6pm- 

8pm. Tour their current exhibit and meet 

Delray’s emerging artists in front of their 

work. First Friday Art Walk is a night for 

strolling and discovering the vibrant art 

scene in Downtown Delray Beach through 

a self-guided tour of Art Galleries & Studios, 

featuring a myriad of artistic styles, 

live entertainment, and more.

How Do We Count the Ways? 

For most people, there are 24 hours in a day. Most 

people hit the couch or turn on the TV when work or 

family responsibilities are over. Not Deborah Dowd. 

The former teacher - and inveterate volunteer – seems to have 

created a life that is not measured in time but in activities. But 

not the typical activities like shopping, but those more aligned 

with her Catholic upbringing. 

One has to wonder, is this woman living on an earth plane that has 

36 hours in a day? Does she have a secret to accomplishing more in a 

day than most people do in a week? 

Perhaps, but she is not talking about time. On the contrary, she talks 

about things she is passionate about, which are many. 

Since she was a teen, Dowd set her sights on becoming an elementary 

school teacher. She started teaching first grade at Spady (making 

$7000 a year) and ended up teaching in Palm Beach County for 

39 years. She was a teacher trainer, resource teacher, and District Coordinator 

of ESOL. Dowd also took a sabbatical and attended the University 

of London to get a master’s degree in International Education. 

Though her Aunt Honey was her inspiration for going into elementary 

education, it was her family tree that planted other seeds for 

Dowd’s eventual destiny. 

Her father James Clancy owned Christmas tree farms, so 10-yearold 

Deborah helped with the trimming each spring. She also joined a 

neighborhood garden club as a youngster. 

“My mom, Mary Lou, gave me a small space to create my own garden 

at age 8. I grew up in Fayetteville, New York, where there were rolling 

hills and lots of land.” 

She also attended Catholic schools from kindergarten to college. To 

some, this might seem a hardship, but not to Dowd, who relished the 

experience. “We loved my teachers, who were nuns. I still remember 

all their names from every grade,” said Dowd, who easily rattles off 

their names on cue. 

Dowd has always been a multi-tasker. While teaching, in the 80s, 

she opened a candy store. She did the accounting, managing, hiring, 

and selling. 

Though she is known for her sweet spot – it was not Dowd’s idea to 

delve into the world of retail. “My father said, ‘She’s not getting married 

and not making much money, so let’s get this going.’” The store in 

Coral Springs did get going. But after five years of working weekends 

and after school, she decided to close it. 

But her sense of community was still her North Star. She started the 

Seacrest Neighborhood Association, helped change zoning laws, and 

partnered with the CRA to ensure the neighborhood’s beautification. 

Dowd was also on city zoning and site planning boards and task 

teams and served on winning All-America City committees. 

In 2012 she officially retired from teaching and set her sights on 

fulfilling her other mission –giving back to the community. 

As a board member of the Achievement Centers for Children & Families, 

Deborah volunteers for community events and spends time with 

the children. She is also chairman of the Home Tour volunteers (100 of 

them) for their March 15 event. 

Those around her are amazed at the selflessness of Dowd’s philanthropic 

orbit. 

“Deborah is a volunteer you can always count on. It’s not unusual 

to find her at the Achievement Centers in the gardens planting with 

the children, reading books in the classrooms, helping students with 

homework, or assisting with our events,” said Stephanie Seibel, CEO of 

Achievement Centers. 

Dowd has also been a devoted Old School Square board member 

and Vice Chair for five years. “I go back to OSS from its inception. I 

taught summer school at Delray Elementary School.” 

She is also on the board of Impact 100 PBC and is involved in their 

grant committee. Dowd also attends events by Roots and Wings and 

Community Greening and is known – and revered – for her gardening 

skills. 

After she retired from teaching, Dowd took courses to become a master 

gardener. True to her roots, she delved into this moniker with the 

same enthusiasm and passion she brings to everything else. “I started 

a veggie garden with kids at Achievement Centers and taught butterfly 

gardening. Organizations have raffled me off to make butterfly gardens.” 

They have also taken note of Dowd’s innate goodness. “I adore 

Deborah. She is the consummate volunteer with a heart for children 

and building community. If there’s a good cause, you can bet Deborah 

will be volunteering. She never seeks attention or thanks, but those 

of us who have worked alongside her know she’s invaluable. She has 

touched generations,” said Jeff Perlman. 

Though her volunteer activities and community building are masterclass, 

Dowd sees them as part and parcel of being human. “I have 

volunteered since I was in middle school. I babysat for little children 

during Sunday mass so their parents could be devoted to mass. Volunteering 

is part of my core and my family upbringing.” 

Others around her see more than her enormous heart for helping 

good causes. “Deborah is an incredibly giving person and a dedicated 

friend who would do anything for you,” said master gardener (and fellow 

volunteer at Daggerwing Nature Center) Sheila Bell. 

Kari Shipley also sees Dowd’s golden heart in hues of light that surround 

her. “Deborah’s positive attitude, kindness, and competency are 

appreciated by everyone. She is tenacious, hard-working and can be 

counted on to give her all with grace and a smile. She has made Delray 

and PBC a better place to live.” 

Frances Bourque agrees. 

“I don’t believe there is one facet of this town Deborah has not put 

her imprint on, including OSS, the Achievement Centers, and Mounts 

Botanical Garden. All garnering her the prestigious Woman of Grace 

Award in 2018.” 

Dowd is an avid swimmer, gourmet cook, dog lover (she rescued 

her golden retriever Muna), sports fan, and gardener. “I measure happiness 

through my journeys and experiences that I am blessed to be 

engaged in.”

dining | RECIPE 

A Recipe for Romance 

Whether you’re in a relationship or a 

situationship, here are some ideas and a recipe 

to get your evening off to a romantic start! 

When planning a romantic dinner, don’t 

forget to consider lighting, music, 

decor, and of course, the food and drinks. 

Candles and soft music are a great way to set 

the mood for romance. Unscented candles 

are best since they won’t interfere with 

the flavors of the food you plan on serving. 

INGREDIENTS 

Four 8-ounce raw lobster tails in the shell, 

thawed if frozen 

6 tablespoons unsalted butter 

One 10-ounce package frozen chopped 

spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 

Zest of 1/2 lemon (about 1 teaspoon), 

plus wedges for serving 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

One 4-ounce package sliced fancy mixed 

mushrooms 

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 

2 sheets frozen puff pastry 

(from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed 

1 large egg, beaten 


Outdoor dining can create a beautiful 

ambiance by placing candles inside glass 

candle holders. 

Table decor can include fresh flowers or a 

handwritten menu. Extend the same ambiance 

throughout the home so you can continue the 

romance long after dinner is over. 

directions 

Wine, champagne, lobster, and chocolate 

are popular choices for a romantic dinner. 

Below is a simple but elegant lobster dish to 

serve your love on the 14th. Round out the 

meal with a simple arugula salad, chocolate 

covered strawberries, and bubbles or wine, 

and you’re almost guaranteed a nightcap. 

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Position a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside. 

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. 

2. Put the lobster tails in a large heat safe bowl, pour in boiling water to cover and let sit 

until the shells just begin to turn orange, about 4 minutes. 

3. Use kitchen shears to cut the shells and remove them from the meat. Insert a wooden 

skewer lengthwise through each tail so that the lobster stays flat and does not curl up 

while cooking. Set the tails aside. 

4. Microwave 4 tablespoons of the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second 

intervals until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the spinach, garlic, lemon zest, a large pinch 

of salt and a few grinds of pepper; set aside. 

5. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium nonstick skillet over mediumhigh 

heat. Add the mushrooms, thyme, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, 

stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and starting to turn brown in spots, 

about 5 minutes. 

6. Roll each puff pastry sheet into an 11-inch square. Spread half of the spinach mixture 

on each sheet and sprinkle with half of the mushrooms. Cut each sheet in half, making 4 

rectangles. Place a lobster tail at one end of each rectangle, parallel with the short side. 

Roll the pastry pieces around the lobster and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush 

the pastry with the beaten egg. 

7. Bake until deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the skewers, slice widthwise 

into pieces and serve with lemon wedges.

also known as New York Strip, and tenderloin - or filet mignon. 

INGREDIENTS 

1 (1 1/2 pound) Porterhouse Steak 

(1 - 1 1/4 inches thick) 

2 Tsp coarsely crushed black peppercorns 

2 Tsp Kosher salt 

1 Tbsp vegetable oil 

3 Tbsp unsalted butter - cut into tablespoon 

pieces - divided 

3 Garlic cloves crushed 

2 (4 inch) Sprigs fresh rosemary 

5 Sprigs fresh thyme 

1/2 Cup medium bodied dry wine 

(merlot, Rioja, Chianti) 

1 Cup low sodium chicken broth 


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Let steak sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. 

Pat steak dry and season with peppercorns and Kosher salt on both sides. 

In a 12 inch ovenproof heavy skillet, heat oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium 

heat until butter melts. Add rosemary, thyme, and garlic - cook over medium 

heat, stirring occasionally, until herbs and garlic become fragrant - about 1 minute. 

Add steak and cook until nicely browned* - approximately 3 minutes on each side. Transfer 

skillet to oven and cook about 5 minutes for medium rare, 10 minutes for medium. 

Transfer steak to a platter and let rest for 10 minutes, reserve juices in the skillet. 

Leaving garlic and herbs in the skillet, pour off the oil. Add wine and bring to a boil 

over medium high heat, while scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half - 

about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and any juices from the platter where the steak 

rests, boil until reduced by half - about 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 

tablespoons of butter until well blended. Season to taste with salt and keep warm. 

Transfer steak to cutting board and cut meat off both sides of the bone. Thinly slice 

each piece and rearrange the slices around the bone on a platter. Drizzle with au jus. 

Serve with a simple vegetable or salad as a side, and a nice red wine. 

*When browning the steak, let it cook undisturbed - only flipping once - so a nice 

crust forms.

What are the Invisible 

Health Risks in Your Home? 

Our pets today are truly family members, sharing our lives 

and living space. We invest our time, energy, and money to 

keep them safe, happy, and healthy. From pet health care insurance 

to the selections of veterinarians, groomers, trainers, and 

foods and products, we are always seeking the best for the furry 

members of our family. 

Modern technology has brought us many health and sanitation innovations 

designed to make ourselves and our pets live better. However, 

we are seeing more diseases and health and well-being challenges 

than ever before. Why can’t we see all the causes? 

From minute particles in our air that settle on the ground and floor 

to the chemicals and products we use to clean, sanitize and deodorize 

our shared space with our pets, it can harm everyone’s health. The reason 

is that many of these causes are invisible. Because our pets often 

eat, sleep and live on the floor and ground, they are exposed to even 

more compounds we do not see. We wear shoes and clothing preventing 

us from absorbing these compounds directly through our skin. We 

also wash our hands, bathe and clean our space regularly, which our 

pets rely entirely on us, their caregivers. 

Our pets are constantly bombarded with hundreds of unnatural 

chemical compounds on a moment-to-moment basis. They absorb 

the compounds from that no-rinse floor cleaner you use when they 

are walking and sleeping on the floor. Deodorizing air freshening 

sprays, plug-ins, and even some essential oils you used have now 

settled on those same floors, often combining with your floor cleaning 

product to create new poisons. Add to that the insecticidal, mold, 

and mildew sanitizers, and our pets can be living in a toxic wasteland 

in the name of clean. 

We all believe we are using the safest, most natural products we 

can find. However, no matter how much research, reading, or investigating 

we do, do we really know the true nature of these products 

and their safety? You see in the marketing “all natural.” Do you 

equate that with safe or healthy? Is it a product found in nature or 

its natural state, or has it been processed or altered along the way? 

We know advertising and marketing laws allow companies to hide 

certain compounds and processes. These hidden factors can alter the 

safety and toxicity of the product. 

We exercise and walk our pets outside and expose them to everything 

that falls from the sky, the lawn and landscaping products, and 

even cleaners and emissions from our vehicles which add to the toxic 

load in the body that is the cause of most diseases. 

While you can now see the causes, we can help our pets build immunity 

and detoxify their bodies with the right foods and nutrition. Clean, 

species-appropriate foods are the base for a healthy lifestyle and disease 

prevention. Clean water is also essential in this process and eliminating 

toxic drugs. The cleanest environment around the pets can also 

help. Our pets deserve the best that we can offer.
