Furry Friends Meet TeddiBear

LOVED BY ANN & BILL COBB TeddiBear became a joyful part of our family during Covid. One evening, we drove to Miami to pick her up, and she was handed to us at the car like it was some sort of covert operation. The moment we saw that little ball of brown fur looking just like a teddy bear, we were in love. Our Shih Tzu–Maltese–poodle mix pup became our TeddiBear! At her first vet visit, the doctor wasn’t exactly pleased with us. He thought she was far too tiny to be adopted. She was only half a pound and seemed so young he even changed her birth date from mid-March to April. She did not come with official papers, so we celebrate TeddiBear’s birthday on April 1. Teddi thrived in her new home with us. Back in Pompano, we’d walk her by the beach. She was so small that people would lean out of their car windows just to film the half-pound pup strutting along on a leash. She even went off to doggy training camp and came back… well, let’s just say “mostly trained.” Instead of rushing to greet us when we come home, she prefers to wait for us to find her. She is always burrowed in the pillows, making her very hard to find, and when dinner is called let’s just say she has her own ideas. Teddi adores people, Lamb Chop toys, fried chicken chews, and riding along in her doggy bag for shopping trips. Her greatest passion is lizard chasing. Back in Pompano, she even caught iguanas bigger than herself! When she joins us for dinner outings, she’s quick to put on a little show—dancing until strangers stop to give her attention. Please say hello when you see us around!

Children’s Home Society

his past holiday season, Taylor Morrison proudly adopted The Children’s Home Society of the Treasure Coast as part of our annual Holiday Outreach program. The organization supports young adults and young mothers with infants who are transitioning out of foster care, providing them with a safe and supportive environment. Thanks to the generosity of our Esplanade at Tradition homeowners, we were able to make a meaningful impact and spread holiday cheer to those in need. Together, we helped bring comfort and joy to the youth and families supported by The Children’s Home Society — a heartfelt reminder of the power of community and kindness.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Recent Events Pickled Pink

PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT What an inspiring day on the courts! Our Pickled Pink event proved that pickleball is more than just a game - it’s a movement of hope, unity, and purpose. Players and supporters came together, paddles in hand and dressed in their brightest shades of pink, to rally for the cure and show their support for breast cancer warriors, survivors, and thrivers. From the first serve to the final point, every match carried a message: we play with heart, fight with purpose, and stand together in pink. The energy, laughter, and camaraderie on the courts reflected the true spirit of the day - community in motion, united for a cause that touches so many lives. All proceeds from the event, including participant fees and sponsorships, benefited the Breast Cancer Foundation of Central Florida, helping to provide essential support for those battling breast cancer and their families. A heartfelt thank you goes out to every player, volunteer, and supporter who helped make Pickled Pink – Playing for a Purpose such a success. Together, we served hope, smashed fear, and rallied for the cure.

Social Club: Ladies Lunch & FASHION SHOW

The Social Club sponsored its first fashion show on October 26 and it was a great success! Many thanks to our fabulous co-chairs, Nancy Arietta and Michele Gabriele. This event wouldn’t have happened without them. We would also like to acknowledge our Fashion Show committee members, Donna Cherulnik, Sherri Fucito, Kim Gannon, Gerri Gorman, Gina Palmero, Cheryl Scheige, Joyce Spatz, Adrienne Stakofsky, and Joy Vodofsky for their hard work and patience. Sandy Emeott, Anna Maria Falco and Michelle Del Signore provided a delicious Mimosa bar which was enjoyed by all. Our beautiful models, Donna Cherulnik, Lee Dunn, Sherri Fucito, Gerri Gorman, Jennifer Goldberg, Michelle Madonna, Tracy Manca, Trish Maurelli, Gina Palmero, and Darlene Patterson dazzled the audience with fashions from Ellen Jane Boutique and I’ll Have What She’s Wearing. We raised over $2,000 for the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT / A LOOK AHEAD

Joy Vodofsky The Members of our community are truly what make this a wonderful place to live. In each edition, we will spotlight a Member, couple or family to showcase the amazing people that call our community home. If you would like to be featured or want to nominate another Member, please contact your Lifestyle team.

oy Vodofsky and her husband Neal moved to Esplanade from Pembroke Pines, Florida, over four months ago. They are originally from New York but have been residing in South

Florida for 36 years. They have a 46-year-old son, Jaime. He and his wife, Heather, have two beautiful daughters: 10-year-old Ella and 5-year-old, Blake. Her granddaughters are the light of her life! Joy was an elementary education teacher for five years, but after having her own children, she decided to go into the active-wear clothing business. She made that decision because of her passion for fitness and fashion. She owned and operated her own clothing store in New York and then opened one in South Florida. After many years of being an entrepreneur, she lost her beautiful daughter, Julia, at the age of 12 to Leukemia. Years later, she was guided to raise funds for children with cancer and raised over $100,000 for Gilda’s Club South Florida and $25,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by doing a triathlon in Hawaii with Team in Training. She was the top fundraiser in the country, a high achievement at the age of 52. After her daughter’s passing, she did not feel fulfilled in the clothing industry and went on to pursue her passion of health and nutrition. She became a Nana on a Mission, inspiring healthy living around the world. She felt this was a great way to honor her daughter and help

to prevent others from having to go through the tragedy that she and Neal endured. Joy has been a Certified Health Coach and partner with Juice Plus+ Co for the last 19 years; practicing yoga for the past 48 years; and she and Neal have enjoyed growing their own produce aeroponically without soil in their home for the past 15 years. Since moving to PSL, she has added aerial yoga, aerial pilates, and aerial fitness to her workout routine. She loves sharing her passion for nutrition and wellness, so she decided to start the Whole Health Hub Club right here in our community. The goal of the club is to support others on their health journey. Joy and Neal are extremely happy here in Esplanade and they are looking forward to creating new friendships, memories, and adventures!

FITNESS / WELLNESS / TEAM SPOTLIGHT

What is HIRT?

e’ve all heard of HIIT (high intensity interval training). but what about HIRT? If you’re not familiar with high intensity resistance training, get ready to learn how this type of workout can boost the results you get from weight training. The fundamental principle of HIRT is using short, intense periods of resistance training (performed with a lot of effort and focus) plus enough recovery time between sessions. In a HIRT-style session, you will do a series of strength exercises without rest, followed by a short recovery between blocks of work. Think circuits or giant sets, but in a more structured style. HIRT jacks up your heart rate and keeps recovery time short, leading to superior calorie burn, muscle stimulation, and fitness adaptations. Today’s HIRT workouts use dumbbells, free weights, cables, suspension trainers, and fixed bars to give you a fast, intense, and effective workout you can do at home or in the gym. Visit your TechnoGym App to learn more and try a HIRT workout.

Ambient Wellness

mbient wellness is an emerging approach to health that focuses on the subtle, often unnoticed moments in our day that naturally support our well-being. Instead of structured routines, it highlights how micro-awe (those tiny moments of noticing something beautiful), soft background sounds, indirect natural light, and simple social interactions can quietly lower stress, balance our mood, and improve sleep without any effort. By making small, gentle shifts, like letting in a bit more daylight, adding a natural texture to a room, or taking a brief pause to notice something pleasant, we can elevate our daily wellness in a way that feels effortless. Sometimes, the smallest ambient moments have the biggest impact on how we feel.

SPA / A&E / STEWARDSHIP

Facials

etting a facial can be more than just “pampering” — it’s a smart skincare investment. It supports both appearance and skin health in the long term. Plus, the relaxation aspect

is a nice additional perk. Having a professional facial offers a lot of benefits and in a place like Florida, where sun exposure, humidity, and city-life stress are common, the advantages may be even more relevant. Some key benefits are deep cleansing and exfoliation, improved circulation and detoxification, hydration and balancing oil production, anti-aging and skin tone/texture improvement, relaxation, stress relief and overall wellbeing, and better absorption of skincare products.

Help Backyard Wildlife

inter is here and it’s a perfect time to spend a Green Hour® helping backyard wildlife thrive throughout the season. Many of the beneficial insects, birds, and small

animals in your backyard may find it harder to find shelter, water, and food in the coming months. You can help by simply placing a shallow dish of water in a sunny spot in your backyard. If you place a container on the ground, add a rock or two near the edge to help smaller creatures crawl out. Keep the containers clean and refill when low.
