I am grateful for the community we have built through Desert Health . Many of our supporting advertisers, editorial contributors and team members have been with us from the start with other treasured partners joining us along the way. Readers follow and share stories of the impact we have made in their lives. We would not be here without each of you who continue to make this publication possible. Each edition of Desert Health still inspires awe and wonder. Italwaysseemstoorganicallycometogetherwith common threads throughout. This edition in particular instills care for ourselves andeachother as a community, encouraging us to come together to connect, love and learn. I am proud that we are accomplishing our original goals of uniting our valley’s medical and natural health communities, and encouraging readers to be their own health advocates through education. The shifts are intrinsic and we see them evolving more each year. As we continue to grow together, let’s be grateful for the many blessings in our lives – from our community’s efforts to make living well a priority, to the people who make living life more meaningful (like our seven incredible grandchildren below ). A heartfelt thank you and best wishes for a healthy, happy and harmonious year. Frommy heart to yours ~ Our first edition!
