Give Yourself the Gift of Simplicity

By Bob Mueller My wife Kathy and I love to travel. We have started a new tradition during the week of Labor Day visiting Kentucky and Indiana locations. This year we stayed at the Old Jailers Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bardstown, Kentucky. We did parts of the bourbon and wine trails. We revisited Bernheim Forest where we enjoyed our first kiss years ago. We sat on a park bench in the stillness of the forest and renewed our love. The highlight of our trip was the experience of the Trappist monastery Gethsemane of Thomas [...]

Community Gifts: Ohio River Greenway

By Carrie Vittitoe One of the best things about living in Louisville is being so close to Southern Indiana, which has its own set of special gifts that Kentuckiana residents share. One of those is the Ohio River Greenway project, a 7.5-mile green corridor, which began in earnest in 1993 when a commission was formed between New Albany, Clarksville, and Jeffersonville. “All three communities started at the river and built out. We are reinvesting in and rediscovering that area,” says commission chair Philip Hendershot. The project’s goal is connectivity. “We are reconnecting people to the [...]

Photo by Paul SchuhmannWaterfront Park is an 85-acre gift to the residents of both Louisville and Southern Indiana that will continue to give enjoyment for many years to come. It was developed in stages, and parts of it are still in the works. Phase IV, a 22-acre site between 10th and 15th streets, has great historical significance, according to Waterfront Development Corporation President David Karem. “It was the site of foundries that made [much of] the wrought iron on those fabulous balconies in New Orleans,” [...]

Why and How She Had Her Spider Veins Removed

By Tiffany White Post Sponsored by Clark Memorial Hospital Vein Center Alicia Smith says she had no reservations about trying the treatment and has been pleased with the results. Photo by Melissa Donald Alicia Smith, 35, enjoys wearing dresses, skirts, and shorts, but when spider veins appeared on both of her legs in 2012 after she had a baby, she tried to hide them. “They started burning and itching, and I didn’t like how they looked.

She’s Helping Someone Start Over

By Carrie Vittitoe We featured Kena Young in the print magazine in December, but wanted to share a more detailed story of how she supports people in need. Sometimes the best ideas seem to rise out of thin air. Maybe they are divinely inspired or an idea you read or heard about long ago that disappeared from your consciousness but has been marinating in the recesses of your mind. Whatever and wherever their origins, the best ideas generally take hard work to come to fruition. Kena Young is putting the hard work behind her idea [...]

Surviving a Category 5 Hurricane

By Megan M. Seckman While most of us watched Houston wade through the massive flooding of Hurricane Harvey, Helen and John Faith braced themselves for the next storm. Far out at sea, the warming Atlantic Ocean was fueling a budding Irma to become the next potential Category 5 hurricane of the season. Since January, the Faiths had spent all but five weeks on the Caribbean island of St. John, building their ideal vacation property and potential retirement home. The couple, who typically reside in their lakefront and landlocked home of Borden, Indiana, were no strangers [...]
