Celebrating 21 Years of Publishing in Central Florida!
Each June in conjunction with Father’s Day, we
celebrate men. As complicated as it may be at times to live with them, we women
know they are a necessary ingredient in our lives—whether they be friends,
husbands, fathers, grandfathers or mentors. Whatever the male role in our
lives, we need to encourage them to take care of themselves. So often they give
too little thought to their own health care. Our Integrative Health For Men
article (pp15-17) reports alarming statistics not to be ignored.
Depression diagnoses are on the rise, especially among
our youth. Many causes of depression can be cured naturally! Why are our
adolescents prescribed pink/lavender/green pharmaceuticals with endless
expiration dates? (See pp 24-25.) Whenever I feel gloomy, I remember sound
advice from my Father: “Get outside and visit a Garden Center.” No
doubt—strolling through rows of flowers has always triggered positive energy
for me….all my six senses thrive. Give it a try!
The South Seminole Farm and Nursery in Casselberry covers
11 acres. Every Saturday (9-10am) they offer free gardening classes, too. (See
p 8 for their June topics.) Pollinating plants and Edible gardening are my
passions. Even with small indoor spaces, culinary herbs flourish in pots if
given enough sunlight, water & love.
This June edition marks the completion of our 21st
year publishing in Central Florida! We will continue to make a healthy
difference in the lives of all who enjoy this magazine. Thank you all for your
input, loyalty and support. We distribute throughout 4 counties: Orange,
Seminole, Lake and Osceola. If your business, community center and/or church
would like to receive each monthly issue, give us a call 407-628-0705, and we
will gladly add you to our route.
Happy Summertime—and as always:
Feel Good • Live Simply • Laugh More
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.
