HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS Disney was determined that “Avengers: Endgame” pass No. 2 “Titanic” ($2.18 billion) and No. 1 “Avatar” ($2.78 billion) to become the top-grossing film of all time. The film was released over the Fourth of July weekend and remained in theaters until it grossed $2.79 billion. Ironically, Disney has a stake in all three films. It produced and released “Endgame,” acquired rights to “Avatar” when it bought 20th-Century Fox, and gained the international rights to “Titanic” in the Fox buy. Disney also now owns the “Avatar” sequels 2-4, with “Avatar 2” due in December 2021.

Don’t chew on golf tees. One golfer who was in the habit of gnawing while he played, overdosed on pesticides after playing 36 holes in one day. The longest word in the English language that can be typed using only one hand is “stewardesses.” It’s been reported that the last words of 19-century American author and historian Washington Irving were, “Well, I must arrange my pillows for another night. When will this end?” On any given day, Google conducts approximately 63,000 searches per second.

Great rules for marriage
There are plenty of theories on what creates happy relationships. Below are some bits of advice to help you live your happiest life together. Find Your Happy Do something daily that makes you happy and your relationships will benefit. You can’t be happy in a relationship if you aren’t happy with yourself.
Savor the Good Appreciating and enjoying the good in your relationship attracts more good and your relationship becomes stronger and better. Learn Something New Every Day Learn to love learning. Learning is the key to growth and evolution. And growth is the key to strong relationships. Live in the Now Stay focused on what really matters and don’t let lifes’ distractions keep you from living in the moment.
Forgive the Imperfections Forgiving is such an important ingredient in relationships. Holding on to things that make you angry keeps you in a negative space and prevents you from being your best self.
Be Kind and Generous Do something special every day. A little note, a surprise cup of coffee or simple phone call just to say, “hi,” will go a long way to showing your partner how much you value them.
Make Your Marriage a Priority Stop looking at marriage as a thing and start thinking of it as part of you. Take care of it, nurture it and let it grow.
Actions Speak Louder Than Words Make sure your actions show your love. Often times what you do and how you do it says more than expressing your love with words.

If you’ve pretty much been planted on the couch this summer, here’s how to start exercising and establish a fitness routine you’ll actually stick with. Take some selfies To accurately track your progress, it’s helpful to identify a starting point and then define your goal. Throw on a sports bra and shorts or a bathing suit and take a video with your smart phone to capture your body from all angles. Do this every two to four weeks to track progress. Start small So, you haven’t lifted a weight since Cactus League started, give yourself a break. The first week you’re easing back into exercising, start small. Know that any movement is good movement. Commit to doing 10 minutes of an exercise video or walking for exercise three days this week.
Journal Write down five ways you are going to be healthy today. Your daily success list could include things like not drinking soda, eating more vegetables, doing 30 minutes of walking today, taking the stairs in your office once a day, and drinking more water. Keep your goals small and achievable to celebrate daily victories. Overcome your fear of the gym The gym can be an intimidating place for many of us. If you’re overweight, obese or just plain inexperienced, you might be afraid that people are staring or judging you. The reality is, most of the time, everyone at the gym is focusing on themselves. Expect to fail You’re going to make mistakes and stumble along the way. There will be times when life will get crazy and you’ll temporarily be derailed. The difference between failing on a diet or fitness routine and succeeding is that you pick yourself up from the fall and keep going. Find something you can stick with The “best exercise” is the one you enjoy and will keep doing. Try new things to discover what works for you.

LIVE YOUR LIFE
INSPIRE
Wise words for making the most of your time on this planet
Infuse your life with action. Don’t wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen...yourself, right now, right down here on Earth. —Bradley Whitford Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. —Og Mandino Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really
precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. —Earl Nightingale Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life. —Joel Osteen Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain...To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices—today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it. —Kevyn Aucoin I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun. —Charles R. Swindoll No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today! —Joyce Meyer “Advocates for YOUR Home Improvement”

a good night’s rest. The problem with alcohol is that it has a significant impact on REM sleep, which can hurt long-term memory and make us more irritable. Moderation is the key to balancing a fun night out and a restful snooze.
SLEEP TIGHT
HEALTH
Alcohol won’t help make it a good night
You may want to save that nightcap for special occasions only. Research indicates drinking alcohol could be ruining your chances of a decent night’s sleep. Even though it’s tempting to have another glass of something to relax and indulge, the idea that alcohol will help you fall and stay asleep is a big old myth. Here’s why drinking before bed to promote better sleep is actually completely counterproductive. Alcohol wakes you up at night While a drink or two at night can make you feel drowsy and prompt faster onset of sleep, going to bed with a buzz may lead to a worse night’s sleep overall. In one study, scientists concluded that, while sleep may come more easily after consuming alcohol, you’ll eventually wake up more easily and more often throughout the night or in the early hours of the morning. It can disrupt your REM sleep REM sleep, the deepest sleep stage, is essential to
It might cause heartburn Alcohol has been known to relax the lower esophageal sphincter, the muscle between your stomach and esophagus that’s supposed to be closed except for when you’re swallowing food. When you introduce too many drinks into the mix, however, the muscle can relax and stay open for too long, causing stomach acid to come back up, which results in a burning sensation. It sends you to the bathroom The fact is that consuming alcohol, a diuretic, can make you go more. Our bodies generally produce less urine at night than throughout the day, allowing us to sleep about six to eight hours without interruption. Drinking alcohol before bed, however, can cause us to wake up in the middle of the night with the urge to go, disrupting the sleep cycle. Looking for a healthier sleep aid alternative to that nightcap? Science says taking a warm shower or bath close to bed time can promote a better night’s sleep.

Why finding balance is so tough
Have you ever said to yourself, “I wish I had more balance in my life?” Balance is an issue many people struggle with. Often, life is so frantic that it’s easy to forget to prioritize those things that make life balanced. Other times, we have an unrealistic idea of what “balance” looks like.
balance, it’s one of the best tools to help you feel on top of things. Without self-discipline, we often waste time, procrastinate and fail to follow through with things. You aren’t being consistent with your actions Consistency is an important aspect of balance, even though it may not seem like much fun. Lack of consistency in our actions is one of the reasons our lives often feel out of whack. Think about which areas of your life are you lacking consistency? You don’t plan out your weekly schedule When you forget to plan out the details of your schedule, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by everything you have to do. Planning is a way to ensure that you can take care of business and take care of yourself.
Check out this list of other reasons balance may be eluding you. You haven’t defined what balance truly means to you If you’ve been wishing your life felt more balanced without defining what that looks like—it’s going to be difficult to achieve it. After all, balance feels different for all of us, depending on our responsibilities, relationships, hobbies and jobs. You haven’t been practicing self-discipline Even though discipline sounds like the opposite of
You aren’t taking care of yourself With everything you might be juggling (work, relationships, home life, etc.), the most important thing is to make time for yourself. If you aren’t taking ample time to do what fills your soul away from your responsibilities, balance will always seem out of reach.

AGING PARENTS
SENIOR LIVING
Signs they may need more help
When seniors struggle with basic tasks such as selfcare, transportation or household chores, they don’t always talk about it. They may be embarrassed or afraid of losing their independence. Still others may not even realize anything is amiss, particularly if they’re in the beginning stages of dementia. Here are some warning signs that a loved one may be in need of care: • A change in mood, such as depression, anxiety or a loss of interest in socializing and hobbies.
• Bruises, cuts or scrapes are sometimes evidence of falls or kitchen mishaps, and a potential indication of declining physical agility. • Piles of mail, un-watered plants and overflowing hampers—these are just a few of the many signs that basic tasks are being neglected. • New dents or dings on your parents’ vehicle. These could be signs that safe driving has become an issue. • Stains, missing buttons and untrimmed nails, are signs of neglected personal hygiene. • No food in the house, or moldy, stale or spoiled food, might mean a parent is struggling to grocery shop or cook, or may have even lost interest in eating.
• Significant weight loss, which can happen for a variety of reasons, including serious physical and mental disorders.
• A prescription stockpile could indicate your parent is forgetting to take critical pills.
• Issues with mobility and balance. These can be signs of joint, muscle or neurological problems, and increase the likelihood of falls.
• Stacks of unopened bills, late payment notices, unbalanced checkbooks and wads of cash stashed in odd places, are all signs of mismanaged money.

CREATE BALANCE
YOU
Tips for keeping more in control
Life is very much a balancing act. We are constantly trying to move forward with purpose and, achieve our goals—all while also trying to maintain a sense of balance with all of the different aspects of our lives. When one area demands an excessive amount of our time, we can easily find ourselves thrown off.
BE THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR COMFORT... Pick which Option Floats your Boat!
Returning things back into alignment typically requires a concerted effort. Here are some tips that can help. 1. Assess your life as it is now Looking at yourself as you really are is the first step in restructuring your life. Do you feel physically exhausted, mentally stagnant or find yourself without close relationships? Would you call yourself a workaholic? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, your life is probably out of balance. 2. Make a conscious decision to become balanced Choosing reality as your basis of decision is the second step to becoming balanced. Achieving balance will allow you to reach your goals and your purpose in life, while creating less stress along the way. 3. Set goals in every area of your life Set realistic goals in all areas of your life to assist yourself in remembering that your ultimate goal is balance. Your goals should cover: • Your relationships • Your physical being • Your spiritual alignment • Your mental development • Your job • Your finances 4. Be willing to take the risk Being willing to assess yourself and risk change will not only enhance your life, but make you feel more energy and have an expanded awareness of what life is all about. Acknowledging that balance is essential and recreating your life to encompass your decision is worth all the risk. 5. Make time to reassess yourself on a daily basis Don’t feel that your decisions are made in concrete; if something feels like it isn’t working, be willing to look at a new decision. Make time for yourself every day, in a quiet meditative state, to relax and “check yourself out.” FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren. Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.” Sue Royer Director

Sonoran Brew Company If you’re looking for a straightforward, drinkable, no secrets or surprises beer, look no further than Sonoran Brew Company. Sonoran doesn’t blow any whistles or jingle any bells. They won’t tell you a touching story about how they got started, they aren’t going to tantalize you with fancy pairings or tease you with outlandish ingredients. They’re about good, drinkable beer, and that’s about it. And that’s good enough. Four Peaks Brewing Company Four Peaks led the way for the craft brewery industry in Arizona and, some would say, in the Southwest as a whole. Four Peaks opened in 1996 in a 125-year-old building that was once an ice house, a creamery, and a recording studio which hosted Stevie Nicks.

COUCH THEATER by Sam Struckhoff
Now on DVD/Blu-Ray! Poms (PG-13) “Poms” follows Martha (Diane Keaton), a retired teacher with terminal cancer who moves into an “active” retirement community filled with quirky personalities, a ton of amenities and a shocking lack of freedom. Martha creates a cheerleading squad and recruits five other free thinkers as they set out to prove that a sextet of 60- and 70-somethings still got it.

What’s worth picking up
Girl, Wash Your Face What if the stories you tell yourself are derailing your happiness? If you think other people have life all figured out and you are lagging behind, this book can snap you awake. Rachel Hollis, founder of the lifestyle website TheChicSite.com reveals 20 lies and misconceptions that can hold us back. With vulnerability, Rachel shares her personal story to show how happiness is a choice you can make each day. Getting Back to Happy Use the power of your daily rituals, mindfulness practices, and self-care routines to overcome whatever life throws your way and be your best self. Personal development experts Marc and Angel Chernoff wrote the book they needed most. Elevate your sense of purpose at home and live with a greater sense of self-worth. You also will learn how to work on your relationship skills to foster mutual respect, genuine affection and lifelong trust. Spark Joy You’ve likely read or heard of Marie Kondo from her international best-seller, The LifeChanging Magic of Tidying Up, that inspired millions of people to get organized and surround themselves only with items they truly love. Here she illustrates her popular KonMarj method of organization. Use her advice to organize kitchen tools, cleaning supplies, hobby goods and digital photos and experience the freedom that comes from decluttering!
Tolkien (PG-13) J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the most creative minds of our time, breathing life into fanciful and fearsome creatures that have captured the imaginations of so many since “The Hobbit,” published in 1937. This biopic starring Nicholas Hoult focuses on Tolkien’s early life—in school, his courtship with wife Edith (Lily James) and his experiences in World War I that presumably shaped his later “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

Tips to make any cruise smooth sailing
When it comes to a dream cruise, everyone has their own idea of the ideal vacation. The beautiful ocean waves breaking against the bow beneath you, the warm breeze blowing against your hair and the lure of new, unexplored destinations off in the distance. Consider these tips as you plan your cruise: Always be on the lookout for the best deal If you could enjoy the same amazing cruise at a fraction of the price, why wouldn’t you? Deals are not hard to come by in the cruise industry and the key is to book early. Do your research, look for package offers and book your trip as soon as you can. Pick the right cruise line Your dream cruise rests on the right ship, so don’t
RENOVATE TO AN OPEN FLOOR PLAN!
leave this choice to chance. Talk to a travel specialist about what you want to experience on a cruise. With so many choices, you don’t want to spend a week at sea on the wrong ship. Pack smart and know what’s included Your cruise line is your home away from home for the duration of your trip, but that doesn’t mean you have to bring home with you. Many of your daily needs will be provided by the cruise line itself. Plan activities for the whole family While the cruise itself is enjoyable, it’s the activities you take part in while on the ship that truly make your vacation unforgettable. Look for a cruise that offers activities for your entire family so everyone has a lasting memory they’ll always remember. Arrive early Weeks and months of planning using the tips above could be all for naught if you don’t heed this last piece of advice. After all, flights can be delayed or cars can break down and if such a thing should happen to you, planning a little extra time into your schedule ensures that when the ship does leave, you’re on it, no matter what happened on the road to get there!

HERE’S A TIP
Last Chance to
TIP 1 Here’s yet another use for a microfiber cloth: Keep one in your vehicle to dust the dashboard or remove smudges from your windshield. TIP 2 Bring a binder clip and a zip-top plastic bag with you on a flight, and you can put your phone in the bag and clip it up on the seat in front of you for easy viewing. TIP 3 Use the clips on a pants hanger to keep curtains closed in a hotel room. This can save you from being woken up too early when your room is facing the morning sun. TIP 4 If you have stainless steel appliances, try a simple furniture polish to get those surfaces shiny and smudge free. You can use most any commercial spray-on polish.

BUCKET LIST A Journey I’ll Never Forget By Patricia E. Goodson, Publisher
As a child I grew up on a farm and was active in rodeos and fairs around New Mexico. As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to travel to The Calgary Stampede. This summer, I had the opportunity to complete one of my bucket list items while my husband, Bob, and I traveled to see Calgary and the Canadian Rockies.
DO YOU KNOW? The Calgary Stampede is an annual rodeo, exhibition, and festival held every July in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The 10-day event, which bills itself as “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,” attracts over one million visitors per year.
The Calgary Stampede did not disappoint! The shows were captivating, the rodeo was thrilling, the exhibits were inspiring, and the midway was exhilarating—there’s a reason they call the Stampede “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.” During the Stampede, Bob and I ran into our old friends Jack Jackson and Armond performing at a breakfast event—Jack has performed in the Sun Cities many times throughout the years. To say this was a trip of a lifetime would be an understatement! If you’ve ever thought of going to The Calgary Stampede, I’d encourage you to start making your travel plans now, because it sells out! Next year, The Calgary Stampede will be held July 3-12, 2020.
