LETTER

from the

E D I T O R

My hope for ROOTED is that you will become inspired, learn more about yourself and feel empowered as you venture through the pages. Each picture tells a story and represents real women as they also find outlets for creativity and intentionality in all of their life pursuits. The daily routine can become stiffening and sometimes feels like a mundane cycle. We must pursue what makes us feel fulfilled in the everyday, and become our truest selves. This edition is titled The Heart & Soul Issue because each page focuses on a different area of growth for your inner creative and investigates what makes our heart and soul sing. No matter what makes your inner self dance, I hope these pages and pieces create a feeling of reflection and inspiration.

Whether you choose to use ROOTED as a source of inspiration and self-reflection, or just to add some creativity and design to your coffee table, I’m overjoyed you chose ROOTED.
