Welcome Spring! It is time to make all things new again! The leaves and plants sprout to announce their jubilant return, and colorful flowers reappear to whisk away the monotones of winter. Join us, as we walk through whimsical flower gardens and let the newfound fragrances fill our senses with joy! I am very excited to publish the Spring 2018 issue of Senior Lifestyle Advantage magazine. My hope is that the many inspirational messages conveyed within the covers will empower and inspire you to make a difference in your life, and the lives of others. Our goal is to provide seniors with a positive message through stories of unique travel experiences, personal insight, interviews, healthy recipes, fashion, and true stories of faith. We are “Changing the Way We Think About Aging.” I am very grateful for every person that makes Senior Lifestyle Advantage Magazine possible. Through hard work and dedication, the magazine was voted “Most Engaging” for the second straight year. This not only inspires us to work harder but reinforces our belief that a positive message can connect with the hearts of an audience.
A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs (11:25) 5
