a note from the editor

SOMETIMES OUR WORLD CAN FEEL TOO SERIOUS. IN THIS ISSUE THEMED WORLD OF WHIMSY, WE FOCUS UPON THE FANCIFUL AND PLAYFUL SIDE OF LIFE TO HELP REFRESH OUR BUSY MINDS. WHIMSY CAN BE FOUND IN CONSPICUOUS PLACES BUT ALSO remember THAT HUMOR and DELIGHTS CAN BE FOUND ANYWHERE IF ONLY WE OPEN OUR MINDS. Take notice of the whimsy that surrounds us every day, waiting to be discovered.

Be playful,

Malorie Shmyr,

creative director, editor
