A
s the holidays approach
we often look forward
to the onslaught of food
and festivities, the anticipation
to experience all the wonders
and abundance that this time
of year brings. The blessings
of family and friends, gifts and
gab, decor and decadence.
But somehow this year feels
different, heavier than holidays of the past, as we collectively as a
nation, begin to see the light at the end of a dark tunnel. Thoughts
of those that have and are still suffering from the natural disasters
that have struck so many parts of our country, of the people whose
faces and stories linger in the corners of our minds and for many of
them they continue to move through the rubble, water and ash. It
would not be a lifestyle magazine celebrating the holidays without
well... celebration, but we do pause and reflect and in fact, offer tips
on how to help those who this year are less fortunate than us and
who are still struggling.
So, with that I wish you the very happiest of holidays—let us rejoice
at our good fortune and sheer luck and let us pause to remember
and help those who are in need. As Ronald Reagan so eloquently
said, "we can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone."
Wishing you and your family the very best of the holidays.
