A: I’m a “people person.” I enjoy talking and listening to people and their stories. I love to see people laugh, and one of my gifts is “clowning.” Working as an oncology nurse, I developed a sense of responsibility toward the patients, not only to provide compassionate nursing care, but also to cheer them up.

Q: What is the most difficult aspect of caring for people?Read more about Life lessons from a veteran nurse

4 lessons I Learned From 
my Juice Cleanse Edit Delete Unpublish Submitted by admin on Fri, 2014-04-25 10:27 1. Schedule your juice cleanse strategically. Don’t start it when you have friends visiting, a cocktail party to attend, or – in my case – a food issue of a magazine to produce.

(Seriously, avoid restaurants at all costs.)Read more about 4 lessons I Learned From

“Nothing beats this charming South Carolina beach town – for a trip with my family I’ll pack an easy J.Crew tee, Tibi striped linen trousers, espadrilles, a printed Kenzo backpack and a basic black swimsuit like this one from Lisa Marie Fernandez.”

“For exploring the beautiful streets of Prague, I’ll wear something comfortable, but true to my minimal aesthetic: a Tibi slip dress, Givenchy jacket over my shoulders, Balenciaga sandals and a Marni crossbody bag.”

History Keeper Edit Delete Unpublish Submitted by admin on Fri, 2014-02-28 09:59 The first of four generations of Martin County natives, Toley A. Engebretsen has been a hardworking, civic-minded, good neighbor since he was born here in 1928.
