Welcome 2012! May it be a wonderful year for us all!
A new year is such an incredible gift – every January, we get the chance anew to jump-start our lives. To be healthier and happier. To improve our habits. To have more fun. In short, to strive to be the people we really want to be.
That’s what this issue is about – changing our lives for the better. We have tips and thoughts on everything from getting organized to learning new skills to finding ways to help in your community. We also asked our staff and your neighbors for self-improvement advice. Their answers might surprise you!
One thing we at Sweetwater Wekiva Springs think you definitely should do is be more adventurous. Don’t step timidly into 2012 -- soar into it! Jump into it! Fly into it!
We took our own advice when putting this magazine together. We loved it and we think you’ll appreciate the results too.
Our photographer, Betsy Hansen, got to soar in a glider. She found the experience very calming. Writer Kristin Harmel learned to fly – or at least she got the sensation of flying – in a vertical wind tunnel. We also explored ziplining, circus school and so much more.
I even went up in the hot-air balloon. It was like no experience you can imagine! Riding the early-morning air currents, skimming the pines and drifting over the wetlands of Central Florida really gives you a different perspective on things. I recommend doing some activity that will offer you a fresh look at life.
Be sure to check our blog, Off the Page with GK, to see “behind the scenes” photos of the balloon ride.
So what are you going to do this year? With this brand-new year to look forward to, how are you going to make your life and your community better?
We at Sweetwater Wekiva Springs hope your 2012 is as happy and prosperous – and adventurous – as you dream it can be.
