JON ROBIN BAITZ’S HIT BROADWAY PLAY!
Editor’s Letter
If
an editor has done her job well, readers are able to enjoy reading without a thought for any behind-the-scenes production. Every once in a while, to the devilish delight of other editors (schadenfroh!), a typo escapes (never!). But this time around I want to make a confession. Our stories made me begin to worry I’d waited too long to listen to good advice. I see now it really does not take much to make a positive change in your life, be it physical or emotional, spiritual or cognitive. And you really do need to take care of the body that carries you around. We only get one, replacement parts aside. Why wait for an ache or a pain, or a milestone birthday before you grab life by the collar and demand more? If it takes a new year on the calendar to do it for you, well here is your chance. Voila! On ancient motivation with a modern spin is Andrea Preziotti’s piece about how to have a Zen start every day. It’s a simple step-by-step. Tara Hein-Phillips, our newest writer, shares a different kind of inspiration. Find out how she found deeply profound strength after enduring some of the darkest days of her life. For the physical mechanics of living, combining form with function, strength and beauty, we’ve included our favorite professionals in healthcare too. From vision to cardiac, you’re in good hands around here. I was speaking recently with a 94 year-old friend and she said, “I wish I could be 70 again.” Take this spectacular perspective with you. What’s a calendar anyway? Look at the Mayan version, fascinating as it is, predicting doomsday. If you remember Y2K, you remember nothing happened on 1-1-00. It’s not just a new number; it is your time.
