Sweet Summer Livin’

As I stood waiting for instruction, heart pounding, fearful; my inside voice screamed, “Are you out of your mind?” Then, “Run! Fast! Hard! Don’t stop!”
interrupted my fear. I ran fast and hard, even after my feet didn’t feel the ground. Suddenly the most exhilarating, freeing feeling enveloped me as a rush of air filled the sail. Running off the launch from Maui’s volcano, to paraglide at 7000 ft. – the sense of joy was extraordinary, and unexpected: from fear to joy in mere moments.
To some, this is a risk. I’m not advocating risk, but instead suggesting that taking the chance to make a change may provide unexpected joy. Are you stuck in habits, leery to change? To make your summer livin’ sweet, here are copious ideas to try something new. Experts offer hot summer switches from tired hair and skin regimes; create an easy summer with light meals, or a balanced vegetarian alternative. A Montreal couple shares their life change in ‘Field of dreams’; and you can catch a piece of the ‘Olympic dream’ with a vacation in BC. In this time of economic uncertainty, find the
‘hidden blessings’ to change fear into possibility
on page 44.
Discerning health choices have to be done with acute awareness. Read updates on omega 3, CoQ10, and Vitamin D. Take heed in the effects of salt
and the ‘Silent thief – osteoporosis’. And now that it’s summer get out and play, take a chance or two and ‘Stay Sun Safe’!
