Bernardo Heights, a wonderful neighborhood in the San Diego City community of Rancho Bernardo
As we went for our early morning walk along Bernardo Heights Parkway Friday morning, Linda and I really started talking about what an exceptional place Bernardo Heights really is. Bernardo Heights offers so much to it’s residents…the Bernardo Heights Community Center, Paseo Lucido Park, swimming pools, tennis courts, walking trails, beautiful vistas…I could go on and on. Bernardo Heights was carefully designed and built in the 1980s and offers a number of uniquely different types of housing. There are apartments for rent as well as areas like the gated community of Fairway Pointe which offers custom built homes 2,500 to over 4,000 square feet. Condominium projects such as Mira La Paz, The Greens, Las Brisas, Las Floras, Masters Hill and Fairway Vistas offer homes with golf course views, one or two car garages, sparkling pools, and good neighbors. The gated area of Los Rios/The Village is an extraordinary area with a character of its own. Bernardo Heights is close to the newly renovated I-15 freeway and is twenty-five minutes from downtown San Diego and twenty minutes to the beach. Within a few minutes from the heart of Bernardo Heights one can find shopping areas, medical services, great restaurants, grocery stores, golf courses, and various recreational areas. And, of course, the weather is the best. But, nothing beats that early morning walk along the Parkway saying “Hi” to old friends, gazing at the beautiful vistas to the North and East and experiencing the hopeful sunrise of a new day.
Come and join us for a walk!

Going Green!! Practice turns to Habit, Habit turns to Lifestyle
Posted by Linda Grubbs | Currently 1 Comment »
We all see and hear it everywhere, TV commercials, news paper and magazine articles, websites……GREEN, GREEN, GREEN.
If you are like me, when you are not conserving, the guilt is taking over!! It can be as easy as, planning out our week, scheduling errands grouped together strategically to be efficient to conserve not only on gas emissions, but wear and tear on your car which would be saving you dollars by saving on mileage for oil changes, tune ups and new tires, but also your time, it only makes sense to live like this daily. I think back and my Grand Mom taught me these things and hopefully you too had a Grand Mom that used to say “Waste Not, Want Not”.
One simple practice where you can immediately make a difference is BAN THE BAG, as San Francisco did in their large markets and pharmacies in March of 2008, as well as, a number of cities and countries in the world!! Check out this site for your reference, Ban The Bag.
The reuse bags are everywhere! Invest in some now before you are paying for the plastics which could cost you more than you pay for redemption for cans and bottles, but with the plastics no chance to recycle your money back to your pocket, be sure to keep your reuse bags in your car! Not your pantry or garage, keep them with you everywhere and at all times.
I have a great reuse bag that I got in a birthday package. This is made of nylon and stuffs itself up in a little pouch (sort of like a sleeping bag), which makes it very convenient to carry in my purse and very handy to have at hand at all times!!
So, I know that my friend found it here at this website. Chicobag.com It was a great gift to me, but more so to the environment. Please be more conscience, start your habit, and it will change your lifestyle, and the next time I am in line at the grocer, I hope to count more people using reuse bags than not.
Be sure to look for the next practice tip, which you can use to live a greener lifestyle.
Sincerely, Linda Grubbs

Overcoming The Biggest Fear of All
Posted by Shapar Ostovar | Currently 1 Comment »
Months ago a friend of mine sent me an email about Anderson Coopers’ 60 minutes. The subject was Women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and how their sufferings are used as weapons of war.
Inspired, I joined a group of women in our community who wanted to help Women for Women International. Since it’s creation , Women for Women International has empowered more than 153,000 women survivors of war to move toward economic self-sufficiency with our year-long program of direct aid, rights education, job skills training and small business development. Since 1993, Women for Women International has mobilized more than 125,000 women and men in 105 countries worldwide to reach out and support women survivors of war – one woman at a time.
To help, our group organized a Fund Raising event: TASTE OF HUMANITY!!I was honored to be invited as the speaker of the event, which took place took place on May 22, 2008 in Del Mar Powerhouse, Del Mar, California.
While it is said that Public Speaking is the number one fear in the minds of most people, I was so passionate about this worldwide issue that my fear vanished. After learning about the horrors these women endured, I wanted to speak, I wanted to help, I wanted to inspire other to help.
I invite you watch my speech which lasts only for five minutes.
If you wish to sponsor a woman, kindly visit www.WomenforWomen.org. Or contact me, Shapar for more information.
