gle. Our many local advertisers are a treasure trove of natural health and green liv- ing expertise, products and services. They are helping to lead a happy global shift toward better health and longevity, less invasive treatments and more natural dis- ease prevention. All of it takes into account overall individual wellness, including physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social well-being. Now we’re layering on a whole new paradigm of green living with the development of renewable energies and the spread of sustainable corporate practices and sustainable lifestyles. Again, Natural Awakenings advertisers are at the forefront of the welcome shift to a better way of being. I am grateful for daily opportunities to meet many of you; I always learn something new. It is a privilege to build relationships with individuals who are making their mark through serving others in healthy, life-affirming ways.
