South Florida Lifestyle Guide - Holiday Gift Guide Volume III Wellness, Balance & Peace | Page 3

Publishers Note

Welcome to the third issue of South Florida Lifestyle Guide!

I have to tell you that is simply too much to comprehend. I cannot believe we've come so far and accomplished all we have in such a short amount of time. It truly is by the grace of God that this facet of my company has come together. This new undertaking actually led me to this particular issue, as the theme revolves around wellness, balance and peace, because publishing a monthly magazine requires quite a bit of balance, mentally, physically, and emotionally. As I was seeking information for myself, the entire process snowballed and here we are, an entire issue dedicated to functions that will enable you to find the balance you seek in any area of your life.

I reached out to many experts in their particular field to contribute articles this month on various topics ranging from feng shui, to yoga, to barre fitness and pilates, to financial wellbeing and meditation. All of the food and beverage articles focus on healthy eating, organic food and wine, vegan restaurants, and juice bars. And Chalie Beatty our very talented beer contributor found a beer made with organic ingredients. Our goal was to create an issue that centers around wellness in all areas of our lives, and I believe we did just that. But there are so many more topics we were not able to cover, so we are planning a second issue, where we delve deeper to the many facets of wellness, balance and peace.

I have to say each and every person I reached out to, to contribute to this issue was kind, generous, and giving of their knowledge and expertise. One email, one phone call led to another, that led to another; the key is you just have to ask. I learned a lot about topics and genres of life that I haven't been exposed to in putting this issue together as I'm sure you will too as you read thorugh it. I am very proud of this issue but I'm feeling more joy that there are so many people out there that want to share their knowledge and want to be heard. I am very fortunate to have met 16 of them; and you will as well, once you get to the contributor page. I want to thank each and every writer and designer here in print for his and her expert contribution this month... South Florida Lifestyle Guide is getting better and more exciting each month because of the work you do, you make me look so good! and for that, I thank you from every sore muscle of my Pilates stretched body.

Have a wonderful Summer!
