“My paintings are the product of the beauty that is sometimes never seen.”
What happens when you take one of Arizona’s best oil painters and place her in one of the most beautiful places on earth?... A collection of paint-ings that transforms the viewer to another time and place. The “goal” of Fine Art is to evoke feelings of curiosity and wonderment. The “desire” is to lead the viewer down a road they will want to journey on again and again.
“There are no words to adequately describe the majesty and fascination that Italy’s scenery has to offer. A painter is always searching for that per-fect backdrop; one that warrants the hours of dedi-cation needed to complete a work of art. Italy is one incredible scene after another. This creative feast made it nearly impossible to choose just one spe-cific location to focus on” said Dickens.
Dickens’ recent completion of Italian por-traits not only brings the viewer face to face with the splendor of Italy, but also pulls back the curtains to one of the most unspoiled, pictur-esque places on earth.
“My heart lives on in Italy.”

lucy dickens – an artist in paradise
w ith the blistering summer months quickly approaching, we Arizonians have only two words on our minds, “Vacation Time!” But with hun-dreds of exotic places to choose from, where does one go to escape? For this answer I turn to Arizona native and Fine Artist, Lucy Dickens. Lucy and husband Richard chose to spend the summer of 2010 in the beautiful and enchanted country of Italy. Their vaca-tion proved to be one of enchantment, exploration and creation, and one the high school sweethearts, and married couple of 23 years, would not soon forget.
Their journey began in the imagination of Lucy many years ago, “I’ve always dreamt that one day I would walk the steps of Michelangelo, or stroll the vineyards of the Tuscan hillsides, so in the summer of 2010 my wonderful husband planned the excursion of a lifetime!” –Dickens. What makes this Italian holiday even more special was the desire of this celebrated Arizona oil painter to document the most captivating locations the only way she knew how; on canvas.
Their adventure starts in the historic capital city of the Italian Tuscany region town of Florence; the birthplace of the Renaissance, as well as Leonardo de Vinci and of course, Michelangelo. “I knew Florence would be breathtaking, but I wasn’t prepared for all of the endless, captivating city and landscapes in this artist’s paradise. As beautiful as Florence was, this wasn’t our destination. From there we drove northwest to Vitiana, a tiny hilltop village in the Italian Alps. This would be our base camp. Each morning Richard and I took daily excursions around the quaint village walking down cobblestone roads that have carried many generations of Italian family members throughout the town. One morning we came across a charming little villa whose weathered exterior and modest ambience had all the

characteristics I was looking for, so it became my first painting. How many friends and family members did this provincial doorway welcome? This romantic postcard from a forgotten time was calling out for me to paint its picturesque facade, and I answered.” said Dickens
As the Dickens’ journeyed on they decided to head to the popular tourist haven of Seinna, est. 900-400 BC. This surprisingly large city is famous for its cuisine, museums and medieval cityscapes, however, this is not what Richard and Lucy were looking for.
Outside Seinna the couple found the Chianti Vineyards region and there stumbled upon an im-age straight from the Garden of Eden. “It looked as though I was standing on the shore of a sea of red water. As far as I could look were thousands and thou-sands of red poppies! I’ve never seen anything like it. I didn’t know what to take out first, my camera or my sketchbook, but one thing I did know for sure, this was my next painting.” said Dickens
Who wouldn’t want to spend the remainder of their vacation standing in a field of endless beauty? However, there was more of Italy to see. So Lucy and Richard headed to the seaside city on the cliffs, Manarola, which is one of five tiny towns in the section of the Italian Riviera known as Cinque Terra. Founded in the 12th century, Manarola is a typical Genovese hamlet. The multi-colored houses are perched on a steep, black prom-ontory. The coastal city relies a great deal on fishing, but
because there is little to no beachfronts fishermen must hoist their boats over the edge and lower them carefully down to some of the most uncontaminated, pristine wa-ters in the Mediterranean Sea. “With so many backdrops to choose from, I couldn’t decide what to sketch first. Then I came across this cliff side image. I was fascinated to see a local fisherman launching his boat down to the sea as his young son waited at the water’s edge. What a wonderful memory to capture on canvas.” said Dickens.
As Lucy and Richard continued their European dis-coveries, it appeared the couple might have discovered more than just the mesmerizing Italian countryside’s.
After meeting in high school, the pair became inseparable and married at the young age of 19. Soon after the Christian couple had two beautiful daugh-ters (Alicia, 20 and Amanda, 17), began a success-ful Arizona demolition company (Dickens Quality Demolition), and have been happily married for 23 years. However, even the most devoted couples need a revitalization of sorts. So when the steaming summer months of 2010 approached Richard decided it was time to take his lovely, artistic wife to the place of her dreams. What they brought back was more than just gorgeous oil on canvas snapshots of the Italian cities of old, but a rejuvenation of love and affection that seems to grow stronger as it grows longer.

t’s safe to say that every single one of us has experienced nights of tossing and turning. You lie on your back looking up at the ceiling thinking about all the things on your to do list for the upcoming week. Before you know it it’s time to attack that list without the proper energy you need. We all have heard that a restful and full night’s sleep is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your body. I know I can tell the biggest difference in my attitude and the way I approach life when my sleep tank is full. The truth is plain and simple: we would all feel a lot better and have more energy to walk through our daily life with a smile if we could make good sleep hygiene a major priority in our lives. Here are some practical guidelines to ensure a great night’s rest!
By Sarah Navares
Don’t go to bed unless you are sleepy.
If you are not sleepy at bedtime, then do something else. Read a book, take a hot bath, listen to soft music or browse through a magazine. Find something relaxing, but not stimulating, to take your mind off of worries about sleep. This will relax your body and distract your mind.
Limit your intake of caffeine.
Okay don’t chew me out for this one. Hear me when I say if a deep and restful sleep is what you are after, caffeine is the enemy. If going without any is simply out of the question for you then your best bet is to only have it in the morning. All stimulants should be avoided in the evening, including chocolate, caffeinated sodas, and caffeinated teas. They will delay sleep and increase arousals during the night
Don't stress if you feel you are not getting enough sleep.
It will just make things worse. Know you will sleep even-tually. Don’t keep looking at the clock over and over won-dering when you will fall asleep as this creates stress and anxiety due to the possibility of facing the day without the proper energy you need.
You Dream of...
Stay away from big meals at night.
Try to make dinner time earlier in the evening, and try to avoid heavy, rich foods within two hours of your bed time. Heavier fatty foods take more work for your stom-ach to digest and this hinders you achieving the quality rest that you desire. Also be cautious when it comes to spicy or acidic foods in the evening, as they can cause stomach trouble and heartburn.
Your bed is for sleep! If you associate your bed with events like work or er-rands or even catching up on your favorite shows, it will be harder to wind down at night. Use your bed only for sleep. That way, when you go to bed, your body gets a powerful cue: it’s time to nod off.
I hope that you find these tips helpful on your quest for great sleep. Sometimes it helps to remember that even the smallest and most practical steps have the power to make a big difference! Here’s to peaceful quality sleep, and also to waking up to a ton of energy to conquer the day and all that lies ahead!

For the topping:1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar3/4 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon baking soda1/4 teaspoon salt5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4 inch cubes1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 425. Peel the peaches then half and pit each. Using a small spoon, scoop out and discard the dark flesh from pit area. Cut each half into 4 wedges. Gently toss peaches and sugar together in a large bowl, let stand for 30 minutes, tossing several times. Drain peaches in a colander set over a large bowl. Whisk 1/4 cup drained juice (discard extra), cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt together in a small bowl. Toss peach juice mixture with peach slices and transfer to an 8 inch square glass baking dish. Bake until the peaches begin to bubble around the edges, about 10 minutes.
While the peaches are baking, in a food processor pulse the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to
combine. Scatter butter over and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about ten 1-second pulses. Transfer to a medium bowl, add yogurt and toss with a rubber spatula until cohesive dough is formed. (Be sure not to overmix dough or the biscuits will be tough.) Break dough into 6 evenly sized but roughly shaped mounds and set aside.
After peaches have baked 10 minutes, remove from oven and place dough mounds on top, spacing them at least1/2 inch apart (they should not touch). Sprinkle each mound with portion of remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Bake until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling, 16 to 18 minutes. Cool cobbler preferably on a wire rack for about 20 minutes until warm, then serve. Delicious!

Beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread this mixture over cooled cookie crust. Prepare instant chocolate pudding as directed on package using 3 1/2 cups milk, pour this over the cream cheese layer. Cover and chill in refrigerateseveral hours or overnight. Before serving, spread remaining whipped topping over pudding. May garnish with grated chocolate.Makes 12 servings.
Lonely and Not Aloneiam usually a pretty happy and active
person. Once in awhile, I have this feeling that makes me feel sad and misunderstood; maybe a feeling of abandonment but I don’t see that in my life. I have people in my life that I’m around enough and even those I love. I figured that it feels like loneliness. I guess I have so much going on in my mind and think differently than others that it feels like I am alone so much. Any ideas why I keep feeling this way?
- Lonely B
Dear Lonely B,It’s normal for just about anyone to feel a periodic
feeling of loneliness, even if they don’t think they are alone enough to feel that way.
At some level, even when we’re around peers, companions and loved ones, we go through life on our own. Our thoughts are unique; our view of ourselves, our life and the world differs from every other individual.
Keep in mind that there is value in these introspective experiences, even if they do seem painful or bittersweet.
That being said, at times, we may feel that we or our situation is so different that others wouldn’t understand, or that they would think worse of us for expressing our thoughts and feelings. So if we are feeling too different and not understood, that can bring on those lonely feelings.
Instead of making us feel bad, loneliness is an emotion that can be helpful by telling us that there are relationship issues that need to be addressed. Open communication can change everything.
It’s hard to carry things inside that are meant to be shared. Our own filters of our feelings or experiences can be so internally focused that we may be missing out on a larger, fuller, different view.
I suggest you find a caring, fair-minded person who you know, or maybe someone who can be unbiased and open-minded, such as a counselor, mentor, advisor or coach. Talk it out with them, part by part, piece by piece. Sometimes we have no idea how much we really have to say until we start.
If you don’t feel comfortable talking to someone
about these thoughts and feelings yet, journal about it so you can become more understanding and accepting of them.
Remember that everyone is a completely unique human being; there is no one who is just like you in the entire world. But just about everyone gets feelings of loneliness.

he God we celebrate on Easter de-scribes Himself as love and compassion. He lavishes love. He graciously gives. He abundantly provides. He delights in giving mercy. Nowhere is that more evident than when this one and only God decided to be born in human flesh on Christmas and decided to die for us on the Cross at Easter. The giving of His life for us is the ultimate gift. This gift for the world is not deserved nor can it be afforded. Which points us back to His love, compassion, grace, blessing and mercy. That is the God we celebrate on the holiday that changed everything. Mark’s Gospel does a wonderful job of pointing out all these characteristics in this Loving God.
AND PeTeRWe celebrate the God of second chances. After Jesus rose from the grave defeating death and Satan and sin, He sends angels to His followers to alert them of His mission. The women followers are given specific instructions as to what they should do now that Jesus has risen.
“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’” (Mark 16:6-7)
Why point out Peter the way they do? Peter was a disciple and would’ve been included in the group, so why single him out like that? Because God is a God of second chances. The “and Peter” is for Peter. I can just hear the women looking Peter in the eyes and saying, “He spe-cifically said for you to go to Galilee!” Peter’s response could have been, “are you sure? Did he really mention my name after what I’ve done?” Peter denying Jesus
By Dave Abbatacola, Senior Pastor at Gold Canyon Community Church
The God We Celebratewas humiliating. After a huge sin like this he must have thought he was disqualified and deserved to be discarded. But there is still work to be done by disciples, and Peter. There is forgiveness available for the “and Peter’s” of this world. There is grace to cover the failures of the “and Peter’s”. The blood of Jesus runs as far as the floppings of the “and Peter’s” of this world. We serve a God of second chances who forgives and starts the slate clean again and again. That is why we celebrate Jesus on Easter.
MARY TOO
When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it. (Mark 16:9-11)
You can understand why the disciples would not believe Mary’s news. First of all, the news is unbeliev-able. Jesus was beaten, tortured, mocked, spit upon, hung from a Cross and bled for six hours in the heat of the day. He then took His life back after three days, because He is God. Secondly, why tell someone like Mary? I mean seven demons, what a past?! Jesus would probably confide in people not as embarrassing and who certainly have their act together a little better than her. Mary would be forever known by her peers as “that woman”! You know, that woman with all those demons who left all those scars caused by all those choices and leaving all those conse-quences. But God is love and compassion and forgive-ness and grace and delights in giving mercy. What better person to appear to, one who illustrates beautifully that we
celebrate the God of new beginnings. Everyone else knew Mary as the one with that horrible past. Jesus knew her as the one He would appear to FIRST! Jesus is the God of second chances and Jesus is the God of new beginnings.
Why don’t you give Jesus a chance this Easter season? Go to Him with all your habits and issues and baggage. Bring Him your past and your bad choices. Show Him the scars your consequences have left behind. But now trust Him. Trust that His death and resurrection changes everything about your life. Trust Him to wipe the slate clean, to heal your marriage, to renew your mind and to transform your heart. Go to God the way you are, and you will NOT stay that way!
