Over the last couple of years, and certainly over the last few months, we have written about peace on Earth and within, self-compassion, living a healthy lifestyle, paying attention to proper nutrition, exercising, meditation and doing the right thing. We have written about balance and slowing down our everyday lives in our zoomed-up society. Being kind, helping others, gratitude and parenting have also been touched, in addition to forgiveness, honesty, judging others and blame. We have encouraged volunteering our time and making people smile. 

That’s what we have shared. In 2023, we would love to hear more about what’s on your mind.

Natural Awakenings has been around for 29 years now. While that must mean we are doing something right, it’s always wise to look a little deeper. Our readers form the solid foundation that drives our business. The loyalty of our readers leads to support for our advertisers, which leads to support for our mission to be a voice to community, to bring awareness, to educate, to make a difference. So, I urge you to take a minute and help us bring you the topics and subjects that you are curious about, interested in or thrill you with delight. Or just share your thoughts in general.  

Would you like to read about the environment, personal stories of inspiration or self-care? Your voice makes a huge difference, not only to us but the larger community. What do you like or love about our magazine? Do you skip over a particular column (not mine, I hope)? What is a “must read” for you each month? Feel free to share your thoughts, good or bad, but not the ugly. Text or call me at 908-405-1515. Or leave a comment on our website or Facebook pages.

As we enter 2023, I hope we all find peace, see the good everywhere and let go of worry. To share one of my favorite reminders—life is not an emergency. My thinking is in direct proportion to the quality of my life. Life is good, so let’s go enjoy it. 

Peace, and Love, 

Joe & Asta Dunne
