EMPOWERING YOUR SOUL
S
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY THAT HAS TAKEN YOU OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE? HOW OFTEN DO WE SET OURSELVES CHALLENGES AND COMMIT TO THEM?
ometimes our security zones overpower any thought process as we watch, day in day out, the sunset and people going about their usual routine, unaware the groundhog moment is a virtual reality. For me, it’s all about believing in yourself and taking a leap of faith, the moment we define our ‘can do’ rather than ‘to do.’ The minute we wake and live in the now because we all know tomorrow is never promised. Welcome to our first edition of eYs Magazine. Empowering Your Soul Magazine is an initiative I have dreamed about almost my entire life. I remember in my teenage years, I would eagerly wait for the next issue of my favourite magazine and count the days until its upcoming publication. The world wide web was non-existent and flicking through the pages our ultimate pastime. The joy on our faces, especially finding a poster of celebrities we were all madly in love with was priceless. It was here my dream flourished, speaking with my friends, about the new shade of lipstick, the shoes we all had to have and read every word, what Bon Jovi was up to at that point of time. The glow on everyone’s face, feelings of unity communicating and bonding in conversation, organising outings to the next live performance or the movies. The ultimate friendship formed and a chance to stay close to our friends, on the other side of the world. I knew one day, as much as it was only a dream, the day would arrive as I live up to the promise I made with myself and take the risk, a leap of faith and follow my heart. This is what I did. I woke up one morning and thought, there has to be more to life than the big stars, the big names, the celebrities and the pop stars, politicians and an ego-driven eccentric society. Then it hit me. I knew from that minute onwards, eYs Magazine, needed to be launched. It meant building a team and a passion along with a vision but more importantly, staying true to its mission. What is the soul purpose of Empowering Your Soul? It’s building other’s up and celebrating the people we never hear about. The people who pay it forward, every day of their lives. The people who work in silence as they change a person’s life. It’s these people that eYs Magazine celebrates and promises to search all hours and find them. We all know them, the faces that walk by casually in the street walking their dog. The ones we bump
into, in the grocery aisle. The selfless, who pick up the coins you just dropped handing it over to you greeting you with a defining smile. Each month you will read stories and be inspired, meeting people from around the world. The stories by our talented team, who are everyday mum’s and dad’s, sister’s and brother’s, son’s and daughter’s, and a friend. We hope you enjoy their skills and vision as we welcome you all to this very first eYs edition. The eYs team is working extremely hard bringing together a magazine featuring articles, fashion, jewellery and accessories, books and more, encouraging our readers to be part of the eYs family. We can travel together and watch each other grow sharing words of wisdom, experience and heartfelt stories of love and hope. Follow us on all social media platforms and get to know the team.

We hope you enjoy reading our cover story. Richard and Pamela Dalseno are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary - Golden Jubilee. Author’s Melissa Bell and J. Thiele talk to us in eYs Review about what’s new and who’s who in the readers and book-worms world. Watch out for Elizabeth Simonsen, and Anita Roe creating magic with fashion and jewellery. Tina Di Bella share’s tips, from Cover Me Sweet, in Home Décor and be mesmerised by Maya Apostoloska’s artwork, a multi award-winning and well-known artist, who teaches us about the world of art. Life Coach, Debbie Kemp will hold your breath until the end and the inspiring Natalie O’Connor introduces us to her life as she guide’s you to exotic destinations and talks about what really matters in life. Lidija Tomevska show’s us what it’s like to learn a second language and Cosette Awad and Julie Michels will soothe and warm your heart.
