Let's Connect!
Dear
Friends,
December is a good time for reflection. Most
people would say January, but I like to get a mental head start on the New
Year. I was looking back at what I wrote in last December’s issue to see what
still rings true. Most of it does. Here are my thoughts from last year along
with some exciting updates…
I
would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our local business owners for
stepping out in faith to discover, design and deliver your holistic passion to
the world. I have come to know and admire so many of you, interesting and
talented individuals. You work hard every day to provide your much-needed
ALL-NATURAL products and services to us. I share your passion as a
health-focused entrepreneur and will support you in every way I know how.
Please reach out and we will collaborate! Keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll
keep doing what I do, publishing this inspired monthly magazine with your help.
Because of Natural Awakenings, I am encouraged every day to live a healthier,
more balanced lifestyle. Are you too? I’d love to hear more about what inspires
you, what questions and concerns you have and how we as a holistic community
can help one another.
To facilitate this communication between us
there will be a new local department in our publication next year called “To
Whom It May Concern.” It will be a ‘letters to the editor’ type column that
will highlight community concerns about health, happiness, sustainability or
anything else that might concern those who are striving to live healthy on a
healthier planet.
I’m so excited to hear from you. Please
email me at [email protected] and one of my collaborators, advertisers
or I will print a heartfelt answer to your questions or concerns in the January
issue and those to follow. I will reach out to a partner of the magazine,
someone whom I feel can best address your email. We will find a way to make
this fun and rewarding for all. I’m eager to hear more and learn more from our
holistic community in Baldwin, Mobile and MS Gulf Coast counties.
And if you are a local business that would
like to sponsor this new column, please reach out and we can discuss some
options. This is my Christmas gift to you for 2023!
Thank you for making 2022, my first full
year as publisher of NA Gulf Coast, a very special and productive one. We added
three new pieces to the magazine this year: Healthy Eats Guide, Gulf Coast
Green Living and we brought back Masters of Yoga & Bodywork. Please check
these out in the upcoming pages and enjoy all the other delightful articles and
recipes.
Merry
Christmas and Happy Holidays,
Michelle Smith, Publisher
