welcome to Spring 2023

“Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.” Epictetus

Now you’re talking, I thought, as she told me the theme. I have been with this magazine for 16 years; it’s a relationship. Lately she tells me each theme, this issue it is Freedom.

Now that’s an expansive, energetic word and one that I really embraced the sense of during 2020 and 2021. It’s an inner expression that bursts into this reality with no apology, nothing held back, a truth that holds its own and its centre no matter what. A feeling that when you are authentic, nothing else is relevant… the authenticity, the sense of space. The FREEDOM to simply be who you are, feel it in your blood, the warrior that you truly are. This is a call to action, a call to be free simply by your decision to be so.

Be it, love it, feel it… and this spring enjoy the feeling of FREEDOM as you read through this issue.

F R E E D O M: the power or right to act, speak or think as one wants.
