Spring is a hopeful season that brings rebirth and transformation in many ways, especially in nature. The Texas wildflowers should be spectacular this year. All we need is a little more rain! Speaking of renewal, what better time for some self care. If you’re thinking of visiting a Medspa, we have the perfect article for you. Renowned and respected physician, Dr. Laura Bennack shares “must read” information to know before you go.

Next up, the grandest party in all of Texas, “Fiesta,” is right around the corner. It’s a city-wide phenomenon in San Antonio that benefits hundreds of non-profits while honoring the memory of the heroes of the Alamo. As former Fiesta Royalty, I’ve had the honor of attending a lot of Fiesta events. I’m sure you have your favorites, but I was absolutely mesmerized by the beauty and splendor of the Celebrations Of Traditions Pow Wow. It’s featured in this issue and trust me, you don’t want to miss this event!

As you know, blistering south Texas summer temps are right around the corner. Our travel article features a picturesque city where the high temps in July are around 75 degrees. Sign me up!

I hope you have a wonderful spring and a very blessed Easter! Thank you for being a part of the Texan family! I appreciate each and every one of you. We couldn’t do what we do without you.
