Dear Reader,
Spring’s around the corner, a good time for some old-fashioned
house and office spring-cleaning, and all that good stuff waiting
in the yard. Living in Florida, we are fortunate to have super weather
for such tasks.
“Relaxation” is this issue’s theme. Barbara and
all the writers cover it so well that I am left to relax – whew!
Managing and producing this great magazine offers me little time for
extensive relaxation. However, I would guess anyone can find or make
a little time to relax inbetween work or at work, I do it for seconds
at a time when I’m really busy. The Universe ususally gives
us what we need, if we just take time to be receptive. I love to work
hard, but I must remember to take time to care for my body, my husband,
birds and plants, and to give daily thanks – balance! The older
and wiser we get, the more we become aware of strengths, weaknesses,
limitations and goals – and balance.
This issue is chock-full of information and we had so much more than
we had space for. By the way, if you remember an article in the past
that you enjoyed and would like to read it again or copy it, you’ll
find it available on our website www.NewTmesNaturally.com. Click on
Articles from Previous Issues (since 1996) or search by name. We receive
a lot of compliments about our site. Folk say it is very simple and
easy to access ads and articles, and that they do appreciate it. We
acknowledge your compliments and thank you. We do try to keep things
as simple as possible – an ongoing challenge in this complicated
world. So, thanks for your feedback and we do appreciate hearing from
you. Who else are we here for?
In a few months we will be in our 19th year of production. Every reader
in the Bay area has had a part in it and made it the success it is
today. David and I are a part of it but we’re just doing our
job, like good custodians. New Times Naturally magazine seems to have
a life of its own which includes the readers, writers, advertisers,
and other participants. It provides alternative, holistic information
which helps us all grow in health, wisdom and love. If we let it be,
life is a fun game, don’t ya think?
Take time out and relax with the Newz...
With that said, on to the Newz...
