As a Certified Luxury Home Specialist, Jane uses the latest in digital communication and social media to bring the broadest possible pool of buyers to the properties she lists. Jane’s in house graphic capability, professional listing photography, and stagers trained in interior design ensure your property is seen in the best possible light. Assisting Jane with the listing side of the business is Sonya McWilliams. Sonya has over nine years of real estate experience. She is a member of the National Association of Realtors as well as the Texas Association of Realtors. Sonya is a savvy negotiator and has a gifted eye for design, staging and decorating, which makes her a “full-service Realtor” in every sense.

Neutral monochromatic pallets with bold splashes of deep blue accents mixed throughout are being used as a refreshing decor update for 2020. Originally from Denmark, Jane’s family moved to Florida when she was a young girl. A fun fact about Jane is that during her time in Florida, she starred in a film alongside her mother, who was a professional swimmer at the time. The film was part of a larger master plan to promote Cypress Gardens, the original Florida theme park featuring movie stars, water-ski champs, and southern sweethearts.

MCKINNEY FACILITY INCORPORATES STATE-OFTHE-ART AESTHETIC TECHNOLOGIES AND EXPERIENCED PROVIDERS TO DELIVER PATIENTS THE BEST EXPERIENCE AND RESULTS. The new facility boasts approximately 10,000 square feet of space. Medical spa treatment rooms, individual examination rooms, consultation rooms, pre, and post-operative rooms, overnight stay rooms, and two operating rooms - make it the largest private plastic surgery operating facility in the area. Dr. Setty states that “this will allow us to provide our standard of care from the first consultation all the way through the surgical procedure in the operating room.” I had the opportunity to speak with Heather Jordan, who is a partner in the business, to learn more about the practice. Heather and Dr. Setty merged companies two and a half years ago after a seven-year working relationship. Heather was the owner of a MedSpa practice that specialized in offering a variety of aesthetic services. Dr. Setty was the consulting physician for her company. Introduced by a mutual friend, Heather and Dr. Setty discovered they shared the same philosophy in what drives their business decisions. They were both passionate about simply doing the right things for their patients every day. Focused on

experienced a complete transformation. She was sitting with her shoulders back, clearly confident with her new look, and seemed to be so much happier in general. This was only one of many success stories that make this work so fulfilling for Heather. This same transformation can be seen in a more dramatic way for surgical patients of Dr. Setty. Dr. Setty is exceptionally well trained in both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery with further specialization in surgery of the hand. With a focus on body and breast procedures, Dr. Setty is a leading plastic surgeon in the DFW area and has been the first to introduce several pieces of technology to the DFW aesthetics market. At the young age of 17, Dr. Setty was in a severe car accident that left him with burns to his arms and face. He had skin graft surgery to his arms and hands and was in a burn center for almost three weeks. That experience was the beginning of Dr. Settyâ€™s interest in medicine and specifically surgery. Dr. Setty went on to obtain

his undergraduate degree at Columbia University in New York, NY, where he graduated with honors and distinction. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH, and completed his residency training in plastic surgery at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, MO. For further specialization, Dr. Setty then held two one-year fellowships in hand surgery and plastic surgery. When not working, you can find Heather spending time with her two children, ages 13 and 7. And during his spare time, Dr. Setty enjoys spending time with his wife and sons in outdoor activities, sports or on the road traveling. During these uncertain times, overshadowed by the Covid19 pandemic, Setty Plastics & Aesthetics is offering potential patients virtual consultations until the office can resume regular business hours. Visit their website at www.settyplastics.com, or call 972-930-0333 to learn more.

"STRONGER WOMEN" FORMERLY KNOWN AS "STRONGER THAN ESPRESSO"

“EMPOWERING SURVIVORS, EQUIPPING LEADERS, AND TRANSFORMING TRAUMA THROUGH ART HEALING.” More than just an abuse support group or victims hotline, Stronger Women is a Movement working towards Survivor Empowerment. From small groups, to art healing and leadership training; Stronger is dedicated to not just the remedial process of those impacted by abuse; but to preventing violence and abuse as a whole. Founded by Dr. Brooke Jones, Stronger Women has been operating as an accredited non-profit organization since 2013. This biblically based organization strives to reach their goals by offering aid through healing programs that are crafted to service women, teens and parents. Their curriculum was written for survivors by survivors and continues to change lives both emotionally and spiritually. Stronger Women doesn’t stop there! Stronger programs actually train facilitators with tools specifically designed to nurture, heal and raise awareness to these unfortunate issues that can plague those even closest to us. As impressive as this organization has already been, we as a community can help build an even Stronger environment for those among us through volunteer work, donating and actively participating in events such as the “Stronger Women” Charity Luncheon set for Wednesday, July 29th. This event will be held at the Hope Center, located at ….2001 W. Plano Parkway, Plano, TX 75075. To register for tickets and/or sponsorship; www.strongerthanespresso.com/ upcomingevents.

ARTICLE RAY SMITH

THESE ARE CERTAINLY INTERESTING TIMES WE ARE LIVING IN. Every day brings new challenges, new revelations, and new expectations. We are, in many ways, essentially living the same lives that our grandparents and great grandparents lived during the last global pandemic in the late 1910s. Unlike them, though, we have resources that they never dreamed of. During the ensuing century we have made tremendous advances in medicine, chemistry, and medications. There is simply no comparing the hospitals of today with their high-technology, disease-fighting sterility, and breakthrough scientific discoveries to those of that era. We take for granted that when we are seen by a highly-trained medical professional in the confines of one of today’s medical facilities that we will emerge hearty and whole. I have personal experience with that, as a survivor of a serious heart condition. The care that I received, the medicines that I was prescribed, the incredible skill of the doctors, nurses, and ancillary staff made it possible for me to walk out of that hospital and pick up my life where I left off. And, the same is true of so many others. We have learned to rely very heavily on that system for our health and well-being. What we’re facing today, however, is different. Like our grandparents and great grandparents, our health is very much in our own hands. Unlike them, though, we are fully aware of how we can avoid the spread of the potentially deadly virus, where our ancestors were not. A highly contagious virus thrives in crowded conditions where little to no care is made to isolate or confine the spread. We know that, and we know that our health and even our survival depends on each one of us practicing social distancing, clean hands, and self-isolation where appropriate. I’m convinced, as are our health professionals, that we will get through this crisis only through a concerted effort, all of us actively participating in our own recovery by following the directives and orders of those doctors, scientists, and researchers who are on the front lines of the fight against the virus. Join in the effort, and let’s all get back to picking up our lives where we left off. Take it from me, it gets better when we pull together.
