Trust in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart” is the spiritual man-

date for Rosemarie Hollomon, affec-tionately known to many as ‘Posie’. This scripture has exuberantly mani-fested in her life, as she is now the proud new owner of Apple Valley Florist located at 18245 Highway 18 Suite 1 in Apple Valley. Posie says, “I’ve always wanted to own a florist shop, therefore when the opportu-nity was presented, it was as though my prayers were answered.” Posie has always worked diligently raising her family and contributing to her church and community as much as possible. Now that her children are adults, she can focus on the second chapter of her life-long passion, mak-ing people happy and surrounding them with beauty.

Apple Valley Florist has been a main-stay in the High Desert community

for many years, recognized for their quality of flowers and superior cus-tomer service. The company guar-antees the freshness of its floral ar-rangements and has a proven track record of delivering quality goods at competitive prices, which has kept them in high demand. Apple Valley Florist’s diverse array of flowers and gifts has established a loyal customer base in the High Desert.

Posie says ,“Being the new owner of Apple Valley Florists will enhance the company’s ability to contribute and assist many notable local chari-ties, such as the homeless shelter and various local schools.” She further states, “It’s important to give back when you are blessed.”With Apple Valley Florist presently operating under new ownership, the existing employees will remain pro-viding the same quality customer

service as always. The Hollomon family members, husband David, daughter Letisha and son David Jr. are also onboard for support and assistance in making the transition more efficient.

Body Essentials Wellness Cen-ter is brought to you by Jeany Jarvis CMT, LMT and busi-

ness partner Connie Darlington, Infinite Health MH, CNC, CCHT, located within the historic Apple Valley Inn. “Our approach to heal-ing is to recognize that you are your own healer. Our role is to facil-itate and guide your healing process by developing a massage and natural wellness plan that includes services such as colon therapy, infra-red sau-na, ion footbath, bach flower remedy and hair analysis, which is designed around your individual needs.

Jeany and Connie have been instru-mental in providing holistic health services to the community, includ-ing a wide range of wellness prod-ucts from herbs to safe and potent homeopathic supplements. Within

their practice they work diligently to educate people in preventing disease, rather than trying to treat it once it occurs. We believe, “The body has an innate healing process that ben-efits from natural remedies to help strengthen and to heal.” Further-more by creating a state of optimal health within your body, you will feel better, have more energy and have an increased quality of life. You will also reduce the risk of becoming depen-dent on the downward spiral of pre-scription medications. They further state, “Our belief is simple, give the body what it needs, clear away the waste, and allow your body to man-age its resources.”

Jeany Jarvis and Connie Darling-ton are proud to be the High Des-ert’s destination for maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle. They

The cast of the hit NBC TV series, Desperate House-wives, filled the street of

Wisteria Lane, not for cat fights and scandals, but for a very good cause, to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. On April 16, the Cys-tic Fibrosis Block Party entertained more than 400 guests at the Univer-sal back lot on the set of Desperate Housewives.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation leads the world in research to find the cure for the disease. Cystic Fibrosis affects the digestive system, lungs, and pan-creas, and is the number one genetic killer of young children and young adults, in which most only live into their early to mid-thirties. Cary Berglund, reporter for NBC4

News was the emcee of the event, which included a delicious barbeque dinner, a drawing to win a 2012 Volvo S60, and a silent and live auction. A date with James Denton, star of Desperate Housewives, was the num-ber one auction item of the night.

The pinnacle of the evening was the live music provided by, James Denton

and the Band, which showcased vocals by Teri Hatcher.

Also included in the all-star band were, Jesse Spencer, Scott Grimes, Gary Cole, Jorge Garcia, Bob Guiney, and Adrian Pasadar. Special musical guests included, Chris Mostert of the Eagles and Neil Stubenhaus, bass-ist for Barbara Streisand and Quincy Jones. The crowd let loose and went wild as the band played hit songs such

as, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by Charlie Daniels Band, “Need You Now” by Lady Antebel-lum, and “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” by Jennifer Nettles and Jon Bon Jovi.

Special star guests of the night includ-ed, Vanessa Williams, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, Doug Savant, Mark Moses, Dana Delany, John Carroll Lynch, Nathan Fillion, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Dan Futterman, Chuck Hittinger, Molly Quin, Jon Huer-tas, and Fred Willard. Although two young ladies, whom suffer from Cystic Fibrosis, stole the spot light and became the stars of the evening when they brought the crowd to a silence while sharing their struggles with the debilitating disease.

Luke 12:22-26&32-33;

My beloved child, this is why I tell you not to wor-ry about everyday life, whether you have enough

food or clothes, for life is more than food, and your body more than clothing. Look at the birds, they don’t plant, harvest, or store food in barns because I feed them. You My beloved, are more valuable to Me than any birds! Will all your worries add even a single mo-ment to your life? If worrying won’t accomplish a little thing like that, what's the use of worrying about bigger things? So don't be afraid, little one. For it gives Me, your Father, Great pleasure to give you the Kingdom! Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasures in heaven! The purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it, and no moth can destroy it. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

My Father, I put my trust in You! When I find myself worried about the "What if ’s," this or that, the past or fu-ture, today or tomorrow, I stop myself and think about You, about the promises and provisions You make, the

awesome Love You have shown me, and the intimacy we share. I'm so moved by knowing this, that all my concerns seem such a waste of time. You've never left me or forsaken me, and You never will. I love You my Lord, and I will serve You all the days of my life. You give me everything I need, and when my heart is un-selfish, I give You everything. I surrender my heart to You now, today, again. I bow before You in Honor and Reverence to You, my King! In whispers of Worship! In Jesus' Name Amen! Intimate Conversation taken from the 'Lord's Word,' The Response is by the lead of Holy Spirit, from my heart and Yours.

If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won’t), by Betty WhiteIt-girl Betty White delivers a hilarious, slyly profound take on love, life, celebrity, and everything in between.

Drawing from a lifetime of lessons learned, seven-time Emmy winner Betty White’s wit and wisdom take center stage as she tackles topics like friendship, romantic love, aging, television, fans, love for animals, and the brave new world of celebrity. If You Ask Me mixes her thoughtful observations with humorous stories from a seven-decade career in Hollywood. Longtime fans and new fans alike will relish Betty’s candid take on everything from her rumored crush on Robert Redford (true) to her beauty regimen (“I have no idea what color my hair is and I never intend to find out”) to the Facebook campaign that helped persuade her to host Saturday Night Live despite her having declined the hosting job three times already.

Featuring all-new material, with a focus on the past fifteen years of her life, If You Ask Me is funny, sweet, and to the point-just like Betty White.

The Queen of Soul releases “Aretha, A Woman Falling Out Of Love” on Aretha’s Records. The initial CD launch and release will be sold exclusively on QVC followed by an exclusive release at Walmart stores nationally. “Aretha, A Woman Falling Out of Love” is the second release on Aretha’s Records followed by the digital single release of the preferred version of “My Country Tis of Thee” the song she performed in front of a national and international audience of billions at the historic Swearing In Ceremony of President Barack Obama. “Aretha, A Woman Falling Out of Love” is produced by Aretha Franklin, BeBe Winans and Gordon Chambers and features 11 tracks including a duet with gospel artist Karen Clark-Sheard. “I just love, love, love the music,” comments Franklin. “It’s real music-to romance, dance and party to.”

Naomi and Wynonna Judd haven't kept much from their fans about their rocky relationship and tu-

multuous past.

Now the famed country mother-daughter duo is bar-ing even more about their complex relationship in the Oprah Winfrey-produced docu-series, "The Judds as the stars embark on their long-awaited 18-city reunion tour.

"After 25 years, the fans are curious to see how much work we've done personally," Wynonna Judd told Can-ada AM co-host Seamus O'Regan.

The docu-series also goes far beyond "showing two Al-pha-female performers caught up in all sorts of drama" said the 46-year-old singer.

"What you didn't see between us before in all the scenes of us being tough and strong and Number 1 and filling out arenas was the tenderness, the sweet-ness, the laughter and the joy," said daughter, Wynonna.

"I'm really grateful to be able to show all of it, not just the drama…It shows how far we've come in 25 years and that our healing relationship is in the best place it's ever been," she said.

"The Judds" also captures the stars in moments that are far from glamorous. That includes seeing 65-year-old mom, Naomi, rolling out of bed in her pajamas with with messy hair and no makeup to feed her dog.

"I didn't want to do this (series)," said Naomi Judd. Producers at Winfrey's OWN network first approached the Judds about the TV project. After some delibera-tion the country music team greenlighted the family's involvement with the series.

"I decided to go ahead because on a personal level I've been doing so much good work with my therapy, giving up family secrets from my past. I decided that it was go-ing to hold me accountable and help me continue to do my work," said mother, Naomi.

That message of letting go and airing out the past to gain control over one's life was certainly adopted by Ashley Judd in her book, "All Things Bitter and Sweet: A Memoir."

In it, the 42-year-old actress revealed that she was sexu-ally abused as a child by several men, including an older man known to the family who forced his tongue into the young girl's mouth.

The actress also revealed inappropriate incidences that she was subjected to during her childhood, particular-ly when her mother and step-father, Larry Strickland, were having sex. As Judd wrote, she was subjected to "a lot of loud sex in a house with thin walls."

Judd even slammed the myth-ic origins of the Judds, and said that the legend did not match her reality.

As Judd wrote, "I loved my mother. But at the same time I dreaded the mayhem and uncertainty that followed her everywhere. I often felt like an outsider observing my mom's

life as she followed her own dreams."

When her mother was asked by O'Regan about her daughter's book, the Judd matriarch grew visibly irri-tated.

"I'm very proud of Ashley's work with AIDS and all that. I love my daughter and I support her, so next question," said mother Naomi, deflecting the issue.

"I'm hoping that this show really challenges peoples' as-sumptions about family in general," Judd added.

"I realize that my mother raised me the way that she was raised, which was hideous…She didn't know any bet-ter," she said.

"After 30 years you can't blame your parents…You have adult, informed eyes. You develop skills. You have to look at things like a detective or a casual observer and say that person wasn't doing that to me personally. They just didn't know any better."

Dr. Carlos Montes, M.D.18564 Hwy.18 Suite 1

Apple Valley, CA 92307(760) 242-6700

I am Dr. Carlos Montes, a local gynecologist transplanted to the High Desert from “down the hill.”

In 2004, after spending more than thirty years delivering babies, I transi-tioned away from obstetrics to concen-trate on gynecology. I also pursued training in minimally invasive surgery, as well as cosmetic surgery under the supervision of Dr. Marco Pelosi II, a

well-known New Jersey physician.

Today I’d like to discuss a topic that comes up with increas-ing frequency: Women in their forties. Medically, the 4th decade in a woman’s life presents a unique set of challenges including weight gain, worry about unwanted pregnancy (Pregnant? At my age? Impossible!), loss of interest in sex, and irregular menstrual periods ranging from missed ones to, horror of horrors, periods seeming to last forever.

Those of us in the medical field specializing in women’s healthcare are in a unique position to guide and supply such patients with information to help alleviate their worries. Many women come to me after unsatisfactory conversa-tions with friends and relatives or unproductive or mislead-ing searches on the internet.

My first advice to women who find themselves asking these questions is to make an appointment with a reputable gy-necologist. Then, before your appointment, write down all your questions and concerns. Be point specific about your questions with your gynecologist, therefore maximizing your chances of getting correct and specific answers.

In my next column, I’ll continue to address the medical is-sues of women in their forties, focusing on various methods of contraception available to such women. In the meantime, please feel free to send your questions to [email protected] and we’ll make sure to answer them.

Remember: if you want a correct answer, always ask a spe-cific question.

The incomparable legendary singer/

actress Della Reese, was High the Desert’s Black History Month honoree in February. The celebration was held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Hesperia. The event

presented magnificent entertainment of music, comedy and beautiful designer African fashions.

A highlight of the event was the interview with the accomplished singer/actress, Della Reese as she graciously shared her life’s journey with Desert Rose magazine Editor, Barbara James, while relaxing at her Bel Air home.

Reese was selected as this year’s honoree, as she is one of very few artists who has appeared onstage with more than five generations of celebrated performers. “The Next Generation” was the theme for this year's event paying homage to individuals who have inspired and empowered generations from past to present. Della Reese has appeared with such generational icons as Mahalia Jackson, Red Foxx, Eddie Murphy to current generation including actress Raven Simone.

As both an accomplished actress and singer of gospel, pop, and blues, Della Reese admits that her first love is singing. She is well known for her clear, powerful voice, distinctive diction, and emotional delivery. Yet television and movie performances have rounded out her varied career in the entertainment business and showcased her talents both as a comedic and dramatic actress. The youngest in a family of six children born to Richard, a factory worker, and Nellie, a cook, she grew up in Detroit, Michigan, where the Baptist church and gospel music were strong early influences. At the age of six, Deloreese Patricia Early began singing in the church's junior choir.

In 1959 Della Reese recorded her biggest hit, "Don't You Know?," for RCA Victor. The success of this single, which was adapted from Italian composer Giacomo Puccini's opera La Boheme, led to nine years of performing in Las Vegas and more than three decades

of recording successes for a variety of labels, including ABC- Paramount and AVCO-Embassy.

Reese became the first woman to stand in for Johnny Carson when she guest hosted The Tonight Show. In 1969 she made history again, becoming the first black woman to host her own television program, a variety show titled Della, which was nationally syndicated by RKO in 1969 and 1970.

Reese appeared on the big screen in the role of Vera in the movie Harlem Nights in 1989, a film which featured a memorable fight scene with Eddie Murphy. She also appeared with Eddie Murphy in his 1992 film The Distinguished Gentleman. Reese credits her success as an actress to her experience as a live singer and nightclub performer. "If you can make people believe your songs of blues and sadness, when you don't feel that way ... well, that takes acting ability I always knew I had," she said.

In 1994, Reese accepted the role of the wise angel Tess in the CBS television series Touched By an Angel. The show opened to dismal reviews and was in danger of being cancelled. However, Reese's faith convinced her that the show would ultimately become a success. Her faith in Touched By an Angel was not misplaced. The show caught on with viewers in 1996 and has become a smash hit, finishing each week in the top ten of the Nielsen ratings. Reese's work in Touched By an Angel has led to Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, and Emmy Award nominations. She has won Image Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Touched By an Angel both in 1996 and 1998.

Della Reese now pastors Understanding Principles for Better Living Church in Los Angeles.
