Long Island Edition
Natural Awakenings Publisher Kelly Martinsen to Hold Book Signing Event
O
n Saturday, December 2, from 4 to 6 p.m., Natural Awakenings Long Island (NALI) Publisher Kelly Martinsen will be at Barnes & Noble on Old Country Road, in Carle Place, signing copies of her new book, A Year of Inspired Living—a compilation of essays containing wisdom Martinsen has gleaned through various life events and from people she has interviewed and written articles about for NALI. A Year of Inspired Living is also a guided journaling book that takes the reader through an experience of finding their most inspired self. “You know we are all publishers,” says Martinsen. “Sure, I publish a magazine, but the truth is I also publish myself. Just like I choose a cover each month and the editorial content, we all choose the clothes we wear, the words we use, the relationships we engage in, etc. We publish ourselves, and it may be nice to use a blueprint, so that when we do, we are publishing our most inspired self. That is the mission of the book—that in a world of fast food, fast pass, fast yoga, we take a moment and slow down to figure out just how we want to publish ourselves.” The book signing event will also include a presentation on journaling and publishing your most inspired self. Location: 91 Old Country Rd., Carle Place. For more information or to reserve your copy for the event, call 516-741-9850. See ad on page 49.
Beyond Maria: Coming Together to Help Rebuild Puerto Rico
L
uis Mendez and Waleska Sallaberry, the publishers of Natural Awakenings Puerto Rico (PR) edition for the past 15 years, have a simple request: “Please help us rebuild.” Mendez and Sallaberry are remarkable community leaders, having not only launched what is now PR’s number one health and wellness publication, but also having originated and managed the most important annual health and wellness expo in PR and the Caribbean, created a natural health network of discounted services with more than 1,000 providers and 250,000 members, and founded an alternative eco-school to serve PR’s western coast. Natural Awakenings publishers have created a GoFundMe account to support their efforts to rebuild PR’s holistic health and wellness community at a time when healing services are desperately needed. Mendez and Sallaberry will be trustees of this fund and will disseminate the proceeds to the people and organizations in PR at their discretion. Natural Awakenings Publishing Corporation CEO Sharon Bruckman says, “Through this campaign, we are offering a way to directly affect the natural health community in Puerto Rico, allowing for continued sustenance in the months to come.” For more information and to make a donation, visit GoFundMe.com/ NaturalAwakeningsPRfundraiser.
