Remember when carefree summer days were all about living in the moment? No school, no work, no worries. Waking up to sunshine, a smile and the excitement of what the day would bring! 

Then adulthood set in.

We hope our summer edition helps lighten the load and bring you back to those days by adding humor to your relationships, keeping your creativity channels open, inspiring self-discovery through journaling, understanding the benefits of both meditation and prayer, and returning to the healing power of simplicity

We all strive to remain healthy and young at heart. Inside we get a glimpse at the Longevity Guidebook from Joseph Scherger, MD, learn secrets to glowing summer skin from beauty alchemist Brook Dougherty, and are introduced to a natural option for fine lines and wrinkles from Arek Apo, MD.

We also share many opportunities to learn and connect with Wellness Day at The Shops featuring a variety of local resources and free presentation by Dr. Scherger; the Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference featuring Dean Ornish, MD, Joel Furhman, MD, Michael Greger, MD and other international leaders; and the Healthy Desert, Healthy You Summit featuring TIME honoree and environmental advocate Andrea Vidaurre. All are encouraged to attend these inspirational events.

Wherever these summer days find you, we hope you awake with sunny skies, a smile on your face and excitement for what the day will bring! We look forward to seeing you out and about.

With love and gratitude ~
