Editor's Note - January 2025

 

As we step into January 2025, my goal is to explore fresh ideas and embrace change. This issue is full of stories that have inspired me to take these steps. Blind and visually impaired athletes including Brandon Adame and Mikey Fields embody resilience by running competitively with the support of EyeCan Alliance volunteers. We spotlight music legend Linda Lowe, whose passion for teaching has nurtured countless aspiring musicians, and we highlight neighbors who have saved lives through CPR. Annie McQueen’s article about “screen diets” has motivated me to put down my phone more often, and Andria Dilling’s piece on air fryers has inspired me to conquer my kitchen-gadget fears (first step: taking my air fryer out of the box – check!). And don’t miss Cindy Gabriel’s poignant 70 is Not the New 50: Thank goodness. As you flip through these pages, I hope you find inspiration, too. Here’s to a January filled with new adventures, creativity, and connection. Happy New Year! [email protected]
