PUBLISHER'SLETTER I
think the title of our feature by Caroline Wetzel is so fi tting for me – Dream It, Plan It, Do It. As many of you know, we celebrate 12 years of publishing starting this month. Back in 2007, my dream was to launch a single magazine. I had no idea if it would be successful, but I had passion, a dream and a laptop – which fortunately, is about all you need to start a publishing business. Now, in 2018, we are celebrating another milestone – we just
received our offi cial Certifi cate of Registration from the US Patent and Trademark offi ce for ELM (Essential Living Magazines)! This is the new name of the maga- zines we’ll be launching nationally. Many of you have most likely seen our sister magazine - ELM Maine, which is the 2nd magazine we launched about 4 years ago to determine that we could duplicate our model in another market.
Interestingly enough, the date on our certifi cate is September 11th. That did not go unnoticed by me for a number of reasons. Most importantly, the signifi - cance of that date to our country. While it will always be a day that we mourn all of the lives lost, it also brought all of us closer together. To me, the signifi cance of receiving our trademark on that date is confi rmation that I am moving in the right direction. How many millions of lives could be changed to achieve amaz- ing health, amazing relationships, and amazing lifestyles with less impact on the environment if we are able to launch magazines like this all across the country?
The number 11 is also extremely symbolic to me and my life. I was born at 8:11 in the morning. I was married on the 11th of May. We just fi nished 11 years of publishing. I constantly notice when the time of day is 11:11 or 1:11. Those of you who are into numerology know that the number 11 is a very powerful and spiritual number. It is a master number that represents inspiration, illumina- tion, and spiritual enlightenment. Eleven is the number of new beginnings. The number eleven carries a vibrational frequency of balance and represents male and female equality. I am honored and thrilled to have this number connected to ELM and our expansion!
Now many of you may be asking – are we changing the name Natural Nutmeg to ELM Connecticut? That is quite the dilemma and something I’ve been struggling with for a while. So, because our mission is focused on building the holistic community, I thought I would just ask you – our reader – what would you do? Please email me at
diane@naturalnutmeg.com and let me know if you’d like to keep Natural Nutmeg – or change to ELM Connecticut – or ELM Natural Nutmeg. I’m excited to hear from you!
