We have a bounty of articles in this issue
on living well. Our intrepid travel writer Susan Lanier-Graham
takes us from the Kentucky Derby and the world of Thoroughbred
horses to the French Riveria. We find the best Sunday
Brunches in the Valley and later in the day, we take
a trip to the opera. Oh, you don’t know anything
about opera? Not a problem. Sara Parkin, our erstwhile
opera buff will tell you how to enjoy Madame Butterfly,
La Traviata, and more—even if you know nothing
about the venue.
Over the years, many people have offered
opinions on living the good life. Philosophers, poets,
authors, ministers, priests, shaman, scientists, movie
producers, song writers… Everyone from Socrates
to Yoda has an opinion.
Why? Because living the best life we
can is a common denominator among the human race. We
all want it. That doesn’t mean we all want the
same things. Working on the articles for this issue
reminded me that while there are many ways to live the
best life, it all begins with attitude. The good life
is about living large, about expressing the joy and
love of life. It’s about song, exuberance, and
about taking chances and “going for it.
One of the articles in this issue deals
with fear—another common denominator. We all deal
with fear at one time or another, and only by gaining
control over our fears can we begin to live the best
life. This month’s article gives some good advice
on how to put your fears in perspective.
“Do or do not. There is no
“try.” –Yoda
Wherever you are, whatever you’re
doing, enjoy the View!
