2024 - MAGAZINE ISSUES

Publisher Statement

Sometimes inconveniences, challenges and the uncomfortable realization that we must change our life’s paradigm are gifts resplendent with instruction.  On the surface, they may not take on the appearance of what we might prefer, but as we probe deeper, we learn greater lessons about ourselves, our connection to others and how to navigate towards uncharted shores which takes us out of our comfort zones.  In so doing, we allow ourselves to morph into individuals of greater strength to embrace new possibilities that will further sustain and bring us to our greater selves.  To our readers, advertisers and supporters, may your life be one of purpose open to growing, evolving and ever changing.
“Sometimes change is not only good, but necessary.”
All the best,
Joslyn Wolfe
