FROM THE PUBLISHER

from the Publisher Keep it Healthy, Keep it Kind T he past couple of months have not been easy, with everyone’s health being at risk. Yet, I derive great hope from what I’ve seen this community do, coming together to share kindness in spite of the stress brought on by the COVID-19 crisis. So in between the quarantine and handwashing, we at Prince William Living have been working hard to bring you resources and articles, both online and in print, to help you maintain quality of life. May is no exception. This month, we’d like to take you on a virtual tour, courtesy of VisitPWC.com. It’s a great way to learn about our area and the rich history and culture it holds. I mentioned kindness and how we’ve seen it all around us. In Giving Back, read about kindness in motion and the people making it happen. We encourage everyone to get involved in this effort to ensure our community stays strong. Keep the positive momentum going by working on your mental health, which is especially important during these times. Get some tips in our Health and Wellness section. In Home and Hearth, learn some food safety facts you might have overlooked. And as always, keep your finances healthy by checking out our Finance section. Ready for entertainment? In Destinations, we bring you to the movies — right in your own backyard. Learn how to set up a movie night, complete with your favorite show and delicious food. Speaking of food, we've got more recipes for you in Local Flavor. Turn your own kitchen into a gourmet experience by using these ideas. You’ll notice our calendar this month has activities you can take part in from the comfort and safety of home. Check out what’s happening virtually and get involved with online events. And don’t miss our Family Fun column for even more ideas. It’s important to keep kids and adults active and learning, and we’ve got resources for you. Finally, don’t miss our Taking Care of Business section, where we introduce you to a local business owner and tile artisan, creating beauty and functionality. He’s got quite a backstory. We at Prince William Living want you to stay safe and healthy in every way. As you enjoy this issue throughout the month, continue to follow the official guidelines designed to protect your health. And practice kindness. We’ll do the same as we continue to serve you, our community. Rebecca Barnes
