Editor’s Letter

NEW BEGINNINGS.

A new year brings new resolutions. Maybe you don’t believe in making resolutions, because — let’s face it — most fade away by mid-March, if we’re lucky. The gym membership starts collecting dust, as does that self-help book on ‘how to be a better me’ sitting on your coffee table, bookmarked at chapter two. If the latter sounds more your style, I am right there with you. I quit making resolutions long ago. Nowadays, I prefer to think of every day as a new chance to start over. In fact, I think you can start your day over at any time. Whatever puts a negative spin on your day, whether it’s frustrations at work or simply waking up on the wrong side of the bed, it just takes some deep breathing to refocus and start anew. Try it with me this year!

In this issue, we decided to look beyond physical well-being and delve a little deeper into what brings us a sense of serenity, whether it’s healing trauma and/or anxiety via out-of-thebox therapies, volunteering within our community, or continuing our education beyond the classroom. May 2023 be the year of mindfulness, so that we are fully present at every moment. The new year is often seen as a new opportunity to hustle and fight for what we want — but do not lose sight of the importance of slowing down and really taking notice of the world (and the people) around you. Find your peace, find your healing ... and maybe find a little inspiration within these pages.

Thanks for reading,
