Letter from the publisher / Summer + Fall
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. Maya Angelou

DEAR READERS,
YOGALIFELIVE.COM
T
he “survival mode” many have endured the past few years has been necessary to move through some of the most challenging and unpredictable circumstances in recent history. The theme of this issue, and Maya Angelou’s very thoughtful quote, has me thinking that the act of surviving in the world is becoming more common than the art of thriving. zAs captured in our stunning cover scene by artist Morgan Manley, known as Morgan Mandala (read more about her and her art on page 8 and page 22), inspiration from moments like a sunrise in the mountains can create awe, wonder and hope. We need to continue to embrace and celebrate these times when we’re living in light — when we’re thriving. Every contribution to this magazine can illuminate a path toward more joy, curiosity,
connection and love. Profiles on individuals, businesses and organizations offer great inspiration on working toward big goals and helping others along the way, and articles on topics like manifesting your dream life (page 42), eco-therapy (page 50), dharma parenting (page 54) and flow state (page 58) offer fresh insight on the existence we choose and the evolution we create. We hope this publication can be a guiding light for you now and always. We invite you to read through it now, or read through it later; read through it whenever you need some extra support on your path, and pass it along when someone else needs some, too. As we’ve witnessed, we can survive. To thrive, however, that is the art of living. In Gratitude,
