our years ago this “Fmonth, the first issue of glo was released. Most of us who help create glo each month have been around since the beginning and we’ve watched the mag- azine take off and find a real- ly nice place within the Fort Wayne community. You guys, it just makes our hearts so full! I love hearing from local ladies on how they’ve embraced glo and look forward to perusing it each month.
There are so many wonderful people doing wonderful things in this community, and it’s been an honor to spread the word about them. In this month’s issue, you’ll learn about more than a few wonderful community members as well as the Fort Wayne Derby Girls’ younger siblings, the Derby Brats and the Tootsie Rollers. These groups have done so much to empower girls. In this month’s issue, we will get you to think spring, too: Earth Day fun, urban gardening, vegetarianism, curb appeal for your home and more.
Getting involved and promoting local causes like the Fort Wayne Derby Girl’s Bust a Move to benefit Cancer Services, Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography, Fort Wayne’s Tapestry for IPFW student scholarships, the the Go Red for Women campaign for heart health, among other things, has been so rewarding, too. Four years ago, I stood at the glo Tapestry booth and handed out the very first, brand new issue... and, of course, no one had heard of glo before! This year, we’re one of Tapestry’s major sponsors and have 48 issues under our belts. As part of glo’s support for Tapestry, you’ll find in this month’s issue: lots of event details and exclusive interviews with keynote speaker Sissy Spacek and breakfast speakers, Marci and Neighborhood Health Clinics, Inc.

Q2: How did having each other motivate you along the way? C: “It was truly the best experience of my life. My mother is my best friend. We argue, but we love each other and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. She was amaz- ing on the show, not just to me but to all of the girls on the ranch. She was inspiring. She was motivating and I am proud to have the kind of mom that I have because I hope I will be just like her when I am older. You know what they say; the apple doesn’t with… fall far from the tree!” Q3: Would you ever consider appearing on another reality show? C: ”Absolutely not! If ‘The Biggest Loser’ called and asked me to come back on to help train others. I would do that, but I have no desire to do ‘The Amazing Race,’ Marci and ‘Survivor,’ or anything like that.

Lori Block-Keys didn’t grow up dreaming about running a community trails organization. When she was little, she wanted to save the world and swim with dolphins. She may not be swimming with dolphins, but she is doing her part to improve this part of the world. Since joining Fort Wayne Trails in 2006, she’s paved the way for trail development and has tripled the size of the network to over 70 miles of trails. Although that’s quite an accomplishment, she’s most proud of the collaboration happening among all kinds of incredible people and organizations within the community. “We are witnessing a cultural shift – active living and a greater sense of connectedness is buzzing through our city; people are biking around town, playing outside, and celebrating local food, music, and talent; and these things all work in tandem to solidify our sense of community, quality of place and suc- cess as a city,” she says. Block-Keys has started many community initiatives of her own, including One Billion Rising Fort Wayne to raise awareness for and take a stand against violence against women. “I believe it all ties together – healthy spaces, healthy people, and healthy communities – and I feel very fortunate to be able to work on these endeavors here,” she says.

Todd Stephenson | President & CEO of United Way of Allen County
When Todd Stephenson joined the United Way of Allen County in 2010, he transitioned out of a 30-year career with Lincoln Financial Group. It may seem like a big change, but he has always had a heart for his community, so it’s actually a great fit. Since joining the team, he has made many improvements, but UWAC’s focus on families, particularly women and children, is a great source of pride for Todd. “Far too many times a single mother finds herself and children living in poverty,” he says. “The long-term solution is education, both for the mother and her children.” United Way is focused on early childhood education as the first step in ending the cycle of pover- ty. Propelling that mission within United Way is a powerful initiative, Women United. Women are uniting from all across our community to raise awareness, secure resources, and implement solutions. The women in Todd’s life have been influencers since he was little. His mother was strong, but in a quiet way given the times, and courageously fought diabetes and a brain tumor. His sisters, one a geriatric social worker and the other a special education teacher, have had a profound impact on him and he couldn’t be prouder of what they’ve accomplished. Todd’s wife, Janet, whom he says is much smarter than him, is a role model for many and has many passions. Together they have two daughters and both are dedicated to serving others.

When I announced on Facebook that I had the chance to have a tête-à-tête with THE Sissy Spacek, and (surprise!) I was a bit nervous at the prospect, my friend Dan replied: “I don’t blame you! Didn’t you see what she did to those kids at her prom?!” But really, when it came down to it, there’s just no way to stay nervous when talking to someone whose voice has that buttery smooth Texas drawl and who -- at one point in our conversation -- compared living in rural America to her own personal “briar patch.” I started my conversation with Sissy by telling her she reminded me of my mother: Same age, same smile. A minute later, I told her the first of her movies I ever watched was, in fact, the 1970s horror classic, “Carrie,” and that I was probably a bit too young to be watching such things. Her response? “Wait. Please don’t tell me I reminded you of your mom in THAT movie!” Is it possible to be a bit too con- versational with someone you don’t know in real life? Perhaps. But if an Academy Award decorated actress can talk to this glo editor like an old friend, I just can’t imagine what she has in store for a convention hall full of women at Tapestry on April 26.

Footwear is a huge fashion statement this season and what fun styles there are in fashion boutiques and major department stores! The shoe boot in a lighter tone, neutral color is a must have and make sure it hits right at the ankle for the most flattering look with any pant, Capri or skirt. Look for a new style that is embellished with fringe, leather ties or multiple decorative buckles. Another great option is the Oxford. This style is found in many colors, pat- terns, with metal embellishments and even the metallic toe stop- pers. Ballet flats are still a popular and versatile style.
For footwear with some height, try the chunky heel in a metallic or lucite finish. Wedges are always a favorite and this season a woven hemp or cork wedge seems to be the designer’s favorites. Last, but not least, look for any high heel either in a rounded toe or pointed toe with the very sexy and flattering ankle strap. Put those winter boots in the back of your closet and make room for the spring sandals. Be Fashion Forward! ■

Furniture arrangement should be your first consideration. Determine the purpose of the room and how many people it should accommo- date. Decide on the focal point; many times this is a fireplace, view or the TV.
Comfort should be your next priority. Does the furniture feel good to sit on?

Beginning in Kansas you meet the title character, Oscar “Oz” Diggs (James Franco), who shows off his many personal flaws along with his circus magic tricks. By way of a tornado he soon ends up in a mysterious world called Oz. Meeting Oz the magician and eagerly explaining that he must be the wise man the people have been waiting for is Theodora (Mila Kunis) who is a witch of no apparent affiliation. Romance blossoms just in time for Oz to be paraded through the Emerald City and become smitten with yet another witch named Evanora (Rachel Weisz), Theodora’s sister. Immediately emotions go haywire and the sisters engage in a catfight while Oz goes off Movies to defeat ‘the wicked witch’ only to find out that Glinda (Michelle Williams) is not wicked, but good. In fact she is the daughter of Oz’s former king who was killed by someone unknown. Meanwhile the witch sisters’ argument escalates resulting in Evanora casting with an evil curse on Theodora, turning her in to a truly wicked witch. Oz sets out to right his wrongs as well as save the people of Oz. He returns to the Emerald City with friends in tow: China Girl (voiced by Joey King), Finley the flying mon- by Lauren Hodges key (voiced by Zach Braff) and Glinda. He is joined in a supporting role by the people of om Oz whose ingenuity and heart turn out to be stronger than the sister witches and good M ultimately prevails. Mom’s Mark: The movie is over two hours long, and filled with details that can be hard to follow at times. Due to this, as well as the scary nature of some scenes, I would not recommend this movie for children younger than 7. The special effects are outstanding, the costum- ing amazing and the China Girl is definitely bound to be a character favorite of many. As ■ shutterstock.com the ending of the movie alludes to, this will likely not be the last we see of the new Oz.
