TO OUR READERS

Hello, readers!

There is a fresh crispness to the air, morning dew on the grass, and leaves turning to my favorite colors of the year.

Fall, by far, is my favorite season.

Why can’t it last longer?

When the temperatures changed from smoldering 90 to 60 in a blink, I immediately got into sweater weather mode. Fashion’s By Sam visited The Wildflower Boutique in Superior, Wisconsin for this issue. Tiffany Simons, owner of The Wildflower Boutique, has a quaint, delightful shop with some beautiful and fashionable items to freshen your fall wardrobe.

With autumn in mind, our recipe remake for this issue is all about getting ready for the holiday season. The Woman Today team decided to share some of their favorite holiday dishes … everything from turkey with stuffing to a dessert called Possum Pie. Hosting this year? Mount Royal Market and Two Loons Gallery and Boutique provide some beautiful ideas to dress up that table this season to really impress your guests.

In this issue we also met with Carrie Straabe, who shares her story on the loss of her infant, Faith. October is Pregnancy & Infant Awareness Month, and we thank Carrie for being brave and sharing her story with us. Additionally, we had an opportunity to meet Katie Quade of Balanced Roots Retreats where she is providing a safe place for grieving mothers.

October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Laurie Orbeck is a breast cancer survivor and therapist who shares her story with us and how she forged ahead to fight.

November is National Diabetes Month. Ani Othman, a Duluth resident and diabetes nurse from Malaysia, embraces her life in America and her path to becoming a diabetes nurse.

Looking for some work-life balance in your daily routine? Well, Debbie Merrick at In Harmony Reiki and Inner Wellness, and Kat Warner at Align Yoga provide some helpful tips to give your life some balance.
