New Year — Letters From The Editor

January's Letter

Reflect for a moment on how wildly different your life was at the start of the last decade compared to now. Think about how vastly different you look, how your opinions and values have changed, how your family structure may have shifted, how your thoughts and intelligence have evolved, and how your relationships have cycled. Could you have ever believed back in 2010 how your world is now in 2020 – and how utterly far away and distant that date once felt? Yet here we are, within a blink of an eye we are bigger, older, uglier, more experienced, wiser, smarter, and more discerning.

December's Letter

My advice this month is to remember the special time we get to share every December, to take heed of our behaviours and feelings during this period and to hold onto those values and attitudes for every month and make it a way of living, not just for Christmas. Life and our relationships are what’s magical, not the annual crystalline-snow illusion that capitalism re-activates in us.
